The worst part of one of the best FPS games has finally been fixed
If the devs don’t fix something, modders will. Over half a decade since Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus was released, someone’s created a way to skip the cutscenes, allowing you to get to the good stuff – shooting Nazis – even quicker.

Check Out A Full 7 Minute Scene From Dune: Part 2
Ahead of Dune: Part 2’s premiere on March 1, ticket sales platform Fandango has shared one of the film’s pivotal scenes in full, showing off a chunk of new footage. The seven-minute scene shows Paul’s first sandworm ride from start to finish, for fans who can’t wait until March to see more Dune.
The scene is one that featured heavily in Dune: Part 2’s very first trailer, kicking off with Javier Bardem’s Stilgar giving Timothee Chalamet’s Paul Atreides some advice on his first sandworm ride. From Atreides promise of “nothing fancy,” the scene follows as he calls a worm to the surface to ride, with the Fremen–including Zendaya’s Chani–watching on.
It’s time. Watch the new scene and more from #DuneMovie. Only in theaters March 1.

“We really see Paul Atreides become a leader here,” Chalamet said when the scene was teased in Dune 2’s first trailer at Cinemacon. Showing off the full scene ahead of the movie’s premiere is a bold move, but it appears to have been well-received by fans so far.
That’s poetry gold,’ people say as they mock bizarre romantic tattoo – the Blink 182 reference isn’t the weirdest part
A BIZARRE romantic tattoo has come in for a lot of stick.
It’s been roundly mocked by users on a public Facebook page.
There were a few who could see the beauty in it.
But for most, it was just too baffling.
“It’s poetry gold,” said one ink art fan.
The Blink 182 reference wasn’t the weirdest part.
The poem appeared on the ‘I’m not tattoo-shaming, but I’m tattoo-sorry you gotta deal with that’ Facebook page.
“Rose are red, violets are blue, Garlic bread, Blink 182,” was the extent of this creative output.
There was no doubt the inspiration for this rhyming couplet came from many quarters.
There was a smattering of traditional poetry, 20th-century American rock, and, most strangely, garlic bread.
The opening line either contained a typo or was loaded with meaning.
The second line passed without muster.
Blink-182 is an American rock band. Originally just Blink, they added the ‘182’ to distinguish them from another similarly named band.
The numbers refer to the number of times Al Pacino’s character in Scarface said the word f**k.
The last line, however, has had commenters perplexed.
Could it be a reference to poetry being considered the food of love?
Or simply an appetite for the delicious garlicky bread.
Commenters enjoyed the show and shared their views.
“No need to shame here. This is perfect,” said one person.
Another said it was “poetry gold.”
“Tattoo inspiration,” said one user.
“Best quote of all time, wrote another.
But this person put a great deal of though into their theory.
“I like to think it’s saying ‘the red rose’ in and older-English grammatical structure.
“As if there’s some terrifying entity or demon hoard called ‘the red’ that awakes every 100,000 years to cause havoc.
“The only way to appease it is to give it garlic bread and play Blink 182.”
