I had no idea there was a cover band specialising in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater soundtracks. I’m happy enough today knowing such a thing exists, but even happier knowing that they had a show on the weekend blow up because the man himself was there and joined them on stage for a couple of tracks.

While lot of IGN staff are currently poking a hot piece of wire into petri dishes of their blood to see who secretly caught the San Diego Comic-Con exclusive COVID variant, there's one Thing we're very glad we brought home from the show: this action figure based on the poster for John Carpenter's The Thing, courtesy of NECA. NECA always pulls out all the stops for SDCC exclusives (even when there's no actual convention) and this year was no exception, but this particular figure was worth writing home about. Based on the Drew Struzan poster for the classic horror movie, this 7-inch figure comes features interchangeable faces to recreate the stylized rays, and even has an LED feature for the full effect. This is clearly meant as a standalone display piece, but there's plenty of articulation for anyone who wants to set up a diorama of Kurt Russell torching him with a flamethrower. Even if it's left in the box, this Thing looks great displayed thanks to lenticular

Earlier this week, The Sims 4 received a big, free update that added curved walls, body hair, and new wants and fears. It also seems to have accidentally added incestual relationships.
