A Vimeo account that hosts Xbox Series X promotional material is being shared online after it was discovered to contain unused advertisements for the console. The adverts are seemingly finished and ready to go out, and it is unknown why they didn’t get used in the run-up to the Series X’s release last November.

Each of Valheim’s many, diverse biomes holds enticing secrets, adding further motivation to explore. Though a lot of these areas are shrouded in mystery, some are required for progression.

This article is presented by: “It was possibly the most frustrating thing I’ve ever been through in my career,” Paul Feig says. “To make something I’m so proud of that was exactly what I wanted it to be that had this amazing cast, and the writing was so good. And then to be so happy with the final product and then nobody sees it.” Feig isn’t talking about the bizarre internet backlash that greeted the 2016 version of Ghostbusters, but instead, lamenting how a year prior, in 2015, his series Other Space — which originally debuted on the now-defunct Yahoo Stream platform — was shelved with very little fanfare or announcement....
