J.G. Quintel, fresh from the finale of Regular Show six months ago, has announced a new TBS animated series Close Enough. Fans of his first series should be pleased– it looks like Regular Show for adults. The trailer features everything one would love about RS, lots of high fives, a lot of ‘yeah-yeah-yeah,’ dancing clowns, trippy visuals, and, of course, mullets and jean shorts. Only this time we can actually see the characters doing drugs, instead of just assuming like before. The trailer shows off the same over-the-top comedy Quintel is known for.

Quintel is an alum of various Cartoon Network shows, including The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack (where he worked with CN journeymen Patrick McHale, Mike Roth, Pendleton Ward, and Kent Osborne), and Camp Lazlo. After working on Flapjack, Quintel got to create his first series, Regular Show.

Regular Show first aired in September of 2010. It was a hilariously dumb yet somehow so smart of a comedy, the first episode reeled in millions of viewers– and formed a staple of the weird, trippy animated programs Cartoon Network began to offer, alongside Adventure Time. Over its 6+ year tenure, it never lost that vibe– from Mordecai and Rigby pretending to wrestle a stuffed animal all the way up to Pops fighting a trans-dimensional supervillain, it maintained that critical middle ground between goofy and sophisticated.

Regular Show ran for 8 seasons, uncommon for children’s animation, totaling 261 episodes. Quintel led the show to 5 Emmy nominations. The finale aired earlier this year in spectacular fashion, in a nostalgia-inducing emotional roller coaster of an episode.

The hole left behind by Regular Show will be filled soon enough, as Close Enough looks to be on the way early next year. Quintel is joined by Regular Show alum Sean Szeles (creator of Long Live the Royals), who will serve as Co-executive Producer. Calvin Wong, who also worked on Regular Show, will be again serving as the supervising director under Quintel. The series is a collaboration between newly formed Studio T and Cartoon Network Studios. Close Enough will serve people like me, who grew up watching Regular Show. It’s cool that now that I’m an adult J.G. Quintel goes and makes an adult Regular Show

Recently, we had the opportunity to witness Amazon’s remarkable rendition of the renowned WRPG series Fallout. Assuming that the initial observation failed to sufficiently stimulate your atomic curiosity,. Therefore, we have an additional video showcasing our main characters in action: Lucy, who resides in a vault (Ella Purnell), The Ghoul (Walton Goggins), and Maximus, a squire from the Brotherhood of Steel (Aaron Clifton Moten).

The group interaction is briefly observed in the two-minute film. Fortunately, for those who appreciate the trajectory of the television series, there is not a significant delay until the complete season becomes available. Commencing on April 11th, all episodes will be accessible on Prime Video, and we will be eagerly anticipating the arrival of the days.

Another noteworthy development in Fallout is the resurgence of a highly absurd modification in Fallout: New Vegas, which enables players to enlist Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst as a buddy. In light of recent developments, it is evident that the future prospects of the ongoing multiplayer experiment Fallout 76 are promising, given the substantial participation of over 17 million players since its first release.
What is your opinion on Amazon’s approach to Fallout? Do you plan to examine it in April? Please provide your feedback in the comments area here.

Amazon’s upcoming TV adaptation of Fallout is shaping up to be impressive, hinting at a promising future for video game adaptations such as HBO’s The Last of Us. In just over three minutes, the portrayal of the eccentric post-apocalyptic world is almost flawless, leaving us eager for what’s to come.

The costuming, casting, and production pedigree are all top-notch, and we’re excited to see where the series will take us. Amazon’s adaptation will focus on protagonist Lucy (Ella Purnell), a vault dweller who steps out of the safety of her lifelong home into the harsh Wasteland of a ruined Los Angeles. Geneva Robertson-Dworet, the showrunner, has mentioned that the Vault symbolizes peaceful societies such as Canada or New Zealand. It delves into the challenges faced by those outside the vault that are unimaginable to those inside.

What are your thoughts on the Fallout TV adaptation? Do you think Amazon has captured that distinct Fallout vibe perfectly? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

‘Amazing’ Final Fantasy Movie Inspired The Marvels Director

Generally, The Marvels is good. It has a 59 on Rotten Tomatoes, which isn’t great, but it’s better than Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania and Disney+’s Secret Invasion. Perhaps director Nia DaCosta’s video game inspirations contributed to that.

The American filmmaker said Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children influenced her latest film at a press junket with IGN. “It’s just an amazing movie, with great fight scenes and a great ending sequence with the main character being thrown into the sky by all the other characters,” she said.
Despite poor reviews upon release in 2005, Advent Children has become a Final Fantasy cult classic. DaCosta seems to agree that the film is a classic. PlayStation exclusives also influenced the Marvels.

In the interview, she said she didn’t want the superhero film to look “too much like a video game” but did draw from Sony’s biggest franchises, like The Last of Us and Horizon Zero Dawn. “For me, it was from the best games, the best stories that you get, that sort of inspires me to play, and I think inspires people to watch movies like this,” she said.

Since movies have shaped video games since their inception, it’s interesting to see the dynamic slowly changing. Now that technology and interactive storytelling are more complex, filmmakers are looking to PlayStation for inspiration.
