The chip shortage currently affecting all parts of gaming is not likely to let up until the end of next year, according to Toshiba.

In a new report from Bloomberg, the publication writes that Toshiba Corp., one of the major companies that creates power-regulating chips found in graphics cards, gaming consoles, and more, says the chip shortage will likely continue through the end of 2022.

IGN previously reported on this chip shortage, citing that Intel believes it could drag on into 2023, and this new Bloomberg report seems to reaffirm this timeline. Toshiba director, Takeshi Kamebuchi, told Bloomberg that "the supply of chips will remain very tight until at least September next year." Kamebuchi also said that some of Toshiba's customers won't be fully served all of the chips they need until 2023.

However, Toshiba doesn't mention which customers, so perhaps Sony and Microsoft won't find themselves waiting until 2023 to get the chips they need for their PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.

Kamebuchi cites material shortages and a demand that's constantly outpacing chip output as reasons for Toshiba's inability to fulfill orders. With this chip shortage possibly lasting until 2023, Toshiba is planning to invest $545 million in its production between now and 2024 to boost the output of its power semiconductors, according to Bloomberg.

"We consider which customer faces the most severe situation, such as the risk of the whole production line halting or the business getting obliterated without the supply of chips," Kamebuchi told Bloomberg. "Game console makers are among the customers making the strongest demands and I'm sincerely sorry for their frustration as none of them have a 100% satisfaction."

And so the struggle to easily purchase a PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, or new PC graphics card continues.

Check out this story about how Intel thinks the chip shortage affecting every part of gaming could drag into 2023 in the meantime. Read about how the Biden administration signed an executive order pledging to review the supply chain issues that have caused these consoles to remain scarce after that.

When Denis Villeneuve signed on to direct a 21st century version of Frank Herbert’s classic sci-fi novel Dune, he was no doubt aware of the book’s long and often tortured history in Hollywood. Once thought unfilmable – just ask Jodorowsky – it was finally adapted by David Lynch into a famously off-kilter film in 1984, and then a Sci-Fi Channel miniseries version also got some traction in 2000. But those takes didn’t quite manage to translate the more epic and spiritual qualities of Herbert’s work. Could Villeneuve, who had pulled off the seemingly impossible with his fantastic sequel to Blade Runner, finally do justice to the tale of Paul Atreides? Unfortunately, the answer is… not quite. For all its amazing imagery and A-list stars and very cool interpretations of the nerdier aspects of Herbert’s book, this version of Dune doesn’t fully coalesce.

The director, his co-writers Jon Spaihts and Eric Roth, and producer Legendary Pictures made the seemingly sound decision to divide the sprawling novel into two separate films, so in fact the onscreen title to this installment is actually Dune, Part One. The result of this split is not just a license to let many of the book’s smaller moments or supporting characters breathe more, but also to perhaps be too devoted to Herbert’s work. Heresy, yells the Frank Herbert fan! But we all know that what works in a novel might not work in movie form, and vice versa, and Villeneuve’s biggest misstep with Dune, Part One is how misshapen and plodding it feels in its second half, as if the movie doesn’t quite know how or where to end… before it just suddenly does.

Timothée Chalamet stars as Paul Atreides, scion of the powerful House Atreides in a far-off future where a substance known as the Spice is the most valuable commodity in the known universe. Paul’s father, Duke Leto Atreides (a heavy-with-responsibility Oscar Isaac), is sent by the Emperor to the desert planet Arrakis to take over production of the Spice. And so the whole family packs up and moves house, including the Duke’s military advisors (and Paul’s tutors) Duncan Idaho (Jason Momoa), Gurney Halleck (Josh Brolin), and what appears to be every soldier and house servant who works for the Atreides. What awaits them on the planet also known as Dune? An uncertain future to be sure, but the Duke has a plan: Harness “desert power.”

Meanwhile, Chalamet’s Paul – as dreamy, misunderstood, and tortured as you could want the heartthrob to be here, and I mean that as a compliment – is having prophetic dreams of a mysterious girl, one of Arrakis’s native people known as the Fremen. This is Zendaya’s character Chani, who some viewers may be distressed to learn is barely in this movie beyond said dreams. Again, it says Part One in the title, so be patient.

The film opens with Zendaya’s voiceover explaining how beautiful her home planet is, and succinctly summing up the violent history of Arrakis, caught as it is in the middle of bigger galactic concerns due to its natural abundance of the Spice. This sequence is a triumph over the exposition that continuously threatens to bring any adaptation of Dune down, but unfortunately, the filmmakers don’t always succeed on this same front moving forward. Perhaps the tutorial that comes later about stillsuits – the life-saving, water-conserving garb of the Fremen – will be fascinating to the uninitiated, but those who are familiar with the source material may find that these moments gum up the works of Dune, like the sand of Arrakis that plays havoc with the Spice machinery.

And yet, Villeneuve frequently impresses with his ability to take tried and true sci-fi concepts and put some new spin on them. Take the Bene Gesserit – sort of space witches with extra-human mental powers, if you will. Paul’s mother, Rebecca Ferguson’s Lady Jessica, is a member of this order, and early on we see her tutoring Paul in the strange ability to mentally coerce others via a modulation of one’s voice. Here, Villeneuve relies on sound design to highlight the weird and offsetting manipulation of Chalamet’s words, but he also shoots the moment as a series of flashing images where time seems to be displaced. It’s off-putting and effective, placing us in the same mindset as the person who the vocal attack is being used upon.

The script also benefits from injecting occasional bits of humor into the universe-shaping events of the film, and the casting of charismatic actors like Momoa and Brolin help to drive those humanizing elements home. Both actors’ characters essentially serve as big brother/uncle figures to Paul, teaching him to fight and helping him ease into the notion that he is the heir apparent to this great family. Ferguson’s Jessica, meanwhile, knows that perhaps something even more heady awaits her son on Arrakis. Indeed, this eventually leads to a painful moment of accusation that Paul directs at his mother, and the look on Ferguson’s face tells us… he may not be wrong?

In fact, the cast is solid across the board, and full of familiar faces, from Javier Bardem as the leader of the Fremen to Charlotte Rampling as the scary Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother to David Dastmalchian, Stephen McKinley Henderson, and more. And then there are the villains. Stellan Skarsgård is effectively grotesque and sinister as Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, the bane of House Atreides, while his nephew, Dave Bautista’s “Beast” Rabban, is vicious enough that any memory of Drax will be long gone while watching this film.

And Dune is certainly capable of transporting us to its alien landscapes via its many technical achievements in production design, costumes, photography, sound, visual effects, and more. From the breathtaking vistas and strange space- and aircraft, to the enormous, frightening sandworms that will devour a ship as easily as they will a clutch of bad guys (and sometimes good guys), and right on down to the sparkly glimmer of the very Spice itself as it glitters across the surface of Arrakis, there is no detail spared in immersing us in this fantastical world.

Which is to say, there’s so much to love in Dune, but I didn’t come away in love with the movie itself. Villeneuve has proven himself to be a master of the kind of smart and stylish sci-fi that a modern Dune adaptation demands, and the film is a triumph when it comes to its visuals and sound. But there’s a shapelessness to the latter part of the movie that drags it down and distracts from its beauty; it’s a story that ends at Act 2, and it shows. Just as Duke Leto himself would find out, harnessing the power of Dune is no easy task.

A new Destiny 2 update went live yesterday and it enabled cross-play voice chat, a little over a week after cross-platform play was added to the game.

Bungie posted the patch notes for yesterday’s 3.3.0.1 Hotfix coming to Destiny 2 and in them, the company lists cross-play voice chat as now enabled in-game, as reported by GameSpot. This voice chat feature comes just after the launch of Season 15, which is called the Season of the Lost, on August 24.

At the bottom of the patch notes, in the "General" section, you'll find "Cross Play voice chat enabled" as a bullet point. However, Bungie lists some communication privacy issues that aren't working as intended for Xbox players. Here's what those issues are:

• Xbox players will still hear voice and receive invites from anyone even if privacy settings are set to "friends" or "in-game friends."

• Xbox players will still hear voice from non-Xbox players even if "You can communicate outside of Xbox with voice and text" is set to "blocked."

• Xbox players will still be able to hear other Xbox players in Fireteam Chat or Team Chat, even if that player is on their mute list.

Bungie announced that cross-play was officially coming with the launch of Season 15 in Destiny 2 last month. However, the company announced that "when cross play releases, voice chat between platforms will not be enabled." Bungie cited some "late-breaking issues with development" as the reason for why cross-play voice chat wouldn't be enabled when cross-play launched.

Now, a little over a week later, the feature is live and cross-platform Guardians can brag to each other about the exotic they popped.

For more about Destiny 2, read about how Bungie accidentally enabled Destiny 2 cross-play months ahead of time, just a few weeks before announcing that a cross-play beta was on the way. Then, watch IGN's interview with Bungie about how the company plans to address Destiny 2 PVP, Inventory, and more.

Take-Two Interactive is suing the creators of reverse-engineered Grand Theft Auto 3 and Grand Theft Auto Vice City fan projects.

This news comes by way of VideoGamesChronicle, which reports that the lawsuit was filed in California and names 14 programmers who were working on the project. IGN reported back in February that this project had received a DMCA takedown from Take-Two, the parent company of Rockstar Games.

The lawsuit claims that the people on the project "are well aware that they do not possess the right to copy, adapt, or distribute derivative GTA source code, or the audiovisual elements of the games, and that doing so constitutes copyright infringement," according to VGC.

It's important to note that the team isn't actually using GTA 3 or Vice City source code — they instead recreated it using newer coding languages. This project doesn't contain any Rockstar assets, either, so players that wish to use this reverse-engineered source code will actually need to have their own copy of GTA 3 or Vice City to create a port of the games using this code.

However, as Take-Two's lawsuit notes, the company is suing the creators behind the project for distributing "derivative GTA source code."

Take-Two claims that the project, more formally known as Re3 or ReVC on GitHub, is causing "irreparable harm to Take-Two," both in terms of copyright infringement and in terms of the fact that now technically anybody can create their own version of GTA 3 or Vice City using the reverse-engineered code.

VGC notes that in the lawsuit, Take-Two says it tried to remove the project from GitHub where it was being distributed. According to Take-Two, three of the project's programmers "knowingly filed bad faith counter-notifications that materially misrepresented the legality of their content, apparently claiming that because they allegedly 'reverse-engineered' the games' source code, they somehow cannot be liable for copyright infringement."

It seems that this will be the central argument of the case: does reverse-engineering a source code count as copyright infringement? Only time will tell for now.

Read about how the team behind the reverse-engineered source code had their project taken down back in February and then read about how Rockstar might be working on a Grand Theft Auto remastered trilogy after that.

Power of Grayskull: The Definitive History of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe

One thing you'll find in this new surplus era of docu-properties is niche offerings that hone in on a specific fandom or IP, like Power of Grayskull, which unspools the history of Mattel’s Masters of the Universe toy line and its subsequent growth into a hugely-popular film and TV entity. Also worth checking out is The Toys That Made Us series, which, three seasons deep now, not only has an episode about He-Man but also Barbie, Star Wars, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, My Little Pony, and many more.

Five Came Back

Based on the book Five Came Back: A Story of Hollywood and the Second World War by Mark Harris, this three-parter focuses on five directors — John Ford, William Wyler, John Huston, Frank Capra, and George Stevens — whose war-related works are then dissected by modern directors Steven Spielberg, Francis Ford Coppola, Guillermo del Toro, Paul Greengrass, and Lawrence Kasdan. It's a spectacular and special look at propaganda, myth, art, and how World War II affected film and culture for decades.

It's a phenomenal and riveting rabbit hole that lands you in the middle of real-life terror.

Wild Wild Country

Don't think for a second that we've left fanatical, crazy cults off this list. The six-part series Wild Wild Country tells the story of controversial Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and his religious cult in Oregon who were responsible for bioterror/food poisoning attacks in 1984 along with a foiled-assassination plot that targeted then-United States Attorney for the District of Oregon, Charles Turner. Executive produced by Mark and Jay Duplass, Wild Wild Country is a stunning and provocative piece of investigative work.

Amanda Knox

In the headlines recently because of the movie Stillwater, and her specific reactions to it being a "ripped from the headlines" (her headlines, in fact) story, Amanda Knox is famous for being acquitted (after being convicted twice by corrupt and/or inept Italian authorities) of the 2007 murder of Meredith Kercher, Knox's overseas roommate. The victim of a dirty, pressured police department, and guilty in the public eye thanks to tabloid journalism, Knox spent four years in prison before being freed. This documentary asks us all to question why we ditch our empathy in favor of sensationalism.

Tell Me Who I Am

A gripping, heart-wrenching tale of twin brothers Alex and Marcus, Tell Me Who I Am is a devastating study of healing and catharsis. Marcus helps Alex, who lost his memory in a motorcycle accident at age 18, recreate lost memories from his childhood.

Song Exploder

Based on Hrishikesh Hirway's music podcast, Song Exploder features Hirway sitting down with musical icons like Michael Stipe, Trent Reznor, Alicia Keys, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and more to deconstruct their most famous songs and dig into the nitty-gritty songwriting process. From inspiration to production to the nuts and bolts of music theory, Song Exploder is a joyous, necessary binge for music lovers.

The Staircase

One of Netflix's pioneering, and best, true crime exploration series is The Staircase, which was a French miniseries acquisition from 2004 documenting the trial of Michael Peterson, who had been convicted of murdering his wife, Kathleen Peterson. Netflix aired the original series, the follow-up episodes, and then added three more update episodes to the catalog, bringing the episode count to 13 for the streamer's new expanded presentation. The Staircase is a piercing puzzle that presents the messy shortcomings of the American legal system.

The Last Dance

From Netflix and ESPN Films, The Last Dance is a ten-part series revolving around the career of Michael Jordan, with a big focus on his final championship season with the Chicago Bulls. Made for sports fanatics and non-fans alike, The Last Dance's storytelling is top-tier, documenting a larger-than-life legend rounding out a never-repeated run. Blending archival footage with candid interviews, this series is a true winner.

HOMECOMING: A film by Beyoncé

A concert film that goes behind the scenes with Beyoncé ahead of her lauded performance at Coachella in 2018 when she became the first black woman to headline, Homecoming was written, executive produced, and directed by Beyoncé herself, offering up a candid look inside her world, work ethic, and artistry. It's a glittering masterpiece of self-realization and accomplishment.

Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond

Directed by Chris Smith (Netflix's Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened), Jim & Andy uses 100 hours of footage to paint an obsessed portrait of Jim Carrey as he remained in character as comedian Andy Kaufman during the production of 1999's Man on the Moon. It's insightful, agonizing, and utterly revelatory to watch Carrey transform into Kaufman and then just remain in his skin.

Making a Murderer

Netflix's "granddaddy of them all" when it comes to the true-crime docu-series, Making a Murderer had the nation in its galvanizing grip, telling the story of Steven Avery, a man who was wrongfully convicted and served 18 years in prison for sexual assault and attempted murder. With this, Netflix would strike gold and thusly make true crime deep dives a huge part of its menu. It's a twisting mystery that hooks you deep for an immersive ride.
