1. I used to be one of those exhausting people that kept up with music blogs and checked out new bands, and then I got a life. However, the new records from Mitski and Car Seat Headrest are both pretty good. Mitski’s Puberty 2 is beautiful, funny and sad, while Car Seat Headrests’s Teens of Denial is more detached and ironic. If you’re not into sad person indie rock, I also am loving this song from Tinashe. The video is so fun!

Two-Face thinks he can turn everyone in Gotham City and the surrounding state into a greedy no-good criminal lowlife with the promise of cold, hard cash and the threat of suddenly revealed secrets. He’s probably right.

“Feeling down?” Oscilloscope Labs has debuted the first quick teaser trailer for an indie film called The Alchemist Cookbook, from unique filmmaker Joel Potrykus, who last made the cult indie hit Buzzard starring Joshua Burge. This film is about a young outcast named Sean, played by Ty Hickson, who is holed up in a trailer in the woods with “The Alchemist Cookbook” and his cat. After going too far with one of the recipes, he “awakens something far more sinister and dangerous”. The poster gives you a little hint at what that might be since this teaser doesn’t offer much to work with. If you’re curious about this one, have a look. ›››

Catherine Keener stars, along with Hannah Gross as her daughter Norah living on the streets. The full cast includes Matt Craven, Chloe Rose, Abigail Winter, Brendan Coyle and Hanna Schygulla. The film will premiere at TIFF this fall, which is a good sign this might have something to it. It looks quite emotional and heartfelt. ›››

The latest expansion for Grinding Gear Games’ role-playing game Path of Exile, Atlas of Worlds, will launch on September 2, the developer revealed today.
According to developers, Atlas of Worlds is a reimagining of Path of Exile’s current end game. Using the game’s map generator and crafting system, players can change the properties of the maps they generate and the content they’ll find therein. The expansion includes 30 more areas and 19 new bosses, as well as a refreshed, higher-quality look for all existing older maps.
These new maps aren’t just random areas, either. Grinding Gear Games has added narrative content, wrapping the reason and purpose behind these new areas into a larger new story.
Areas offer higher difficulty as well. Areas around the outskits of the new map are expected to offer content around level 28, while levels closer to the middle of the map–and the final bosses–will include content around level 86.
According to Grinding Gear Games, the studio found that the longer players spent time in the game, the less variety they had because they were grinding away at the same small number of high-level maps. The ability to customize maps and upgrade them to higher levels is meant to alleviate this. The higher the map level, the higher the level of the items you’ll find; so if you’re looking for items for minions, you may want to spend some time on upgraded maps in the graveyard area, as that’s where you’ll find the minion gear.
Grinding Gear has also worked to improve the performance of Path of Exile with this patch. According to the developer, the game now runs at twice the speed, with double the frame rate for when there are many enemies on screen.
Path of Exile was released in October 2013 after a successful crowdfunding campaign.

Nintendo today posted a new video from upcoming role-playing game The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Published on its Facebook page, the video provides another look at the game’s Temple of Time.
Nintendo captioned the video: “Does this seem familiar?” Check out the video below.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was originally scheduled to launch in 2016, but is now set to launch on both Wii U and NX in 2017.
Although a specific release date has not been announced for the game, the NX release date has been confirmed as being in March 2017. It may be that Breath of the Wild will be available as a launch title for it, though this is not confirmed. A recent report claimed Breath of the Wild, as well as new Mario and Pokemon games, will be available for NX within six months of its release.
Nintendo recently stated that Breath of the Wild needs to sell 2 million copies to become profitable, though there are still some unanswered questions about that statement. The last new console entry in the Legend of Zelda series was Skyward Sword for the Wii, which has sold more than 3.4 million copies.
