The Sandlot: What a 25 Year Old Movie About a Baseball Has in Common with Stranger Things
If you asked the average kid what they think “America’s pastime” is, what kind of answer do you think you would get? Maybe they would talk about the Super Bowl and how they love gathering up their friends and family on the biggest day for sports of the year. Maybe they would talk about basketball and which players had been heard talking smack in the locker room that week, retweeting favorite blurbs to their followers. Maybe they would even talk about eSports, and how loading up their favorite Fortnite streamer to keep them company as they finish their homework is more appealing these days than a hot dog in one hand, and their toes in the other during the 7th inning stretch.
Terraria: Otherworld Officially Cancelled
Terraria: Otherworld has been cancelled.
Re-Logic made the announcement on Terraria's official forum, stating it the decision stems from the fact the game is "equal parts far from
vision and beyond behind schedule."
Otherworld was originally announced three years ago, and although the team confirms it has "absolutely made progress during that time," in a recent status review of the game Re-Logic and 505/Pipeworks determined the game was so far from completion, in both work and time, it would "greatly interfere" with the studio's other projects, which would land the team in "a very undesirable state."
