The Hero The Meat Raffle Deserves: Lego Star Wars Drama & Dune Awakening
Luke’s heroics at a pub meat raffle set the tone for this week’s episode. When a man grabs a woman’s arm on the dance floor he’ll be there, like a red bearded Batman.
An 83-year-old man’s retirement fund - a warehouse’s worth of vintage Star Wars LEGO he’s been sitting on since the ’90s - is stuck in the middle of one of the strangest internet dramas going right now. Bricks and Minifigs, Antifa, a YouTuber getting arrested in corporate lobbies, a police raid on an Airbnb to search for stolen LEGO, and a Patreon CEO publicly telling a franchise to get stuffed. Nuts.
Gopilot: Xbox Kills Copilot, Molyneux Crypto Row & Alien Isolation 2
Nicolas Cage is playing Spider-Man in a black-and-white 1950s noir series that’s out at the end of this month, and somehow that’s not even the wildest thing discussed this week.
Asha Sharma quietly killed Xbox’s Copilot integration, an AI assistant that was officially announced as recently as March. Luke is so relieved he can barely contain it. Between that, the price cuts, and the achievement system overhaul, we try to work out whether she’s the real deal or if Microsoft just had a drawer full of approved changes waiting for someone new to take credit.
