For example, last year the Adidas x AriZona line mashed together Adidas shoes with the iconic imagery of everyone's favorite 99-cent flavored tea beverages, and in 2015 Moschino teamed up with Nintendo for the Super Moschino line. The Champion x Pac-Man line follows the crossover template extremely well, combining the two disparate properties into one awesome apparel line. The apparel is available to purchase right now on Champion's website. The joggers had briefly gone out of stock over the weekend, but returned and can be picked up now, at least for the time being.

Some Red Dead Online players are being mysteriously attacked by two-headed skeletons. Why? It seems to be the work of hackers.

Reports of two-headed skeletons running up to players and engaging in a fistfight started coming in around February 7, 2020, and carried on throughout the rest of the weekend. Among the first reports was one on the Steam forums, where a player claimed they were attacked by a bony aggressor in Grizzlies West.

"I was using my metal detector and it just punched me from behind and ran off when I switched to guns and started shooting," the player said. "Also a grizzly bear appeared out of nowhere and killed me as I was shooting."

It's certainly bizarre, but does have foundations in the game. The two-headed skeleton model can actually be found inside the single-player story mode. Near Beecher's Hope, there's an overturned circus wagon with a two-headed skeleton inside that belonged to conjoined sisters.

By February 9, players were posting video proof of two-headed skeletons running around inside the game's online world. One player posted a video to Reddit of a twin-head skeleton attacking them while another posted a YouTube video in which they hogtie one and ride around with it on their horse.

[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-ign-rockstar-game-review-ever&captions=true"]

Replying to these videos, other players have claimed that the two-headed skeletons are one of the latest stunts being pulled off by Red Dead Online hackers. Previously, hackers have spawned loads of angry bears inside towns, and even sent horrifying piles of carcasses after people.

One player who says they also got attacked by a two-headed skeleton, reckons you might be able to see the hacker above you in a hot air balloon, which means you can try to report them.

"Just happened to me. Next time it does, look straight up in the sky. The mod cheater is going to be up in the balloon. I just tagged mine and reported him.," they say.

That same person also shared a screenshot of what they say is from a hacker's profile who has now been banned from Red Dead Online. It shows them in a hot air balloon with a mod menu equipped.

Mod menus make it easy for Red Dead Online hackers to make themselves invincible, super jump, have infinite stamina, and spawn any character models into the game they want. Some hackers are even able to drain money from players. Grand Theft Auto Online hackers have used mod menus for similar purposes for years. Rockstar has been trying to ban hackers so they can't ruin Red Dead Online for everyone else.

If you're looking to liven up Rockstar's world without getting in trouble, consider installing some Red Dead Redemption 2 mods, such as a playable robot or becoming a giant. Haven't played it yet? Our Red Dead Redemption 2 review gave it a 10, saying that it's "one of the greatest games of the modern age."

Director Rian Johnson has teased the first details about Knives Out 2, suggesting the sequel will present a whole new cast, mystery, and location. Speaking with SiriusXM, Johnson gave a hint about what might be in store for the recently-announced Knives Out sequel, as he revealed his plans to create "another Benoit Blanc mystery" akin to Agatha Christie's classics. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/11/20/knives-out-rian-johnson-on-why-daniel-craig-is-his-perfect-detective"] "In my mind, I don't even think of it in terms of a sequel," the filmmaker explained. "Ever since we started working on this… look, if we can keep this going, the same way Agatha Christie wrote a bunch of Poirot novels, and then do that with Blanc and keep making new mysteries. Whole new cast, whole new locations. It's just another Benoit Blanc mystery and it seems like there's just so many different things you can do with it, you know?" Johnson also shared some insight into the writing process, as he noted that, even when following a specific genre formula, there can be different ways to infiltrate a narrative and change its core components to "attack something totally new" thematically. "What's actually satisfying at the end is not who did it and how and why," he said. "What's actually satisfying is the same thing as any other movie, which is there's a character you've been following that you care about, and you're worried about them, and then at the end in a way that's really satisfying, you come to a conclusion of their arc." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-best-movies-of-the-decade-2010-2019&captions=true"] Knives Out was a huge success for Lionsgate, earning close to $300 million at the worldwide box office. In our review of the modern murder-mystery, we commended Johnson for crafting a whodunit that is "a genuine crowd-pleaser", exploiting "clever plotting and smart sleight of hand" to leave "audiences guessing until the final few reels."

While this year's Academy Awards ceremony is notable for showering Parasite and director Bong Joon-ho in awards, and for giving Joaquin Phoenix a long overdue Best Actor Oscar, not every film was so fortunate. Looking at the lineup of Oscar winners, one consistent theme emerges - Netflix didn't fare so well this year. In fact, though Netflix-distributed films earned a total of 24 nominations in various categories, only two of those nominations actually resulted in winners - Laura Dern for Best Supporting Actress and American Factory for Best Feature Documentary. Here's a closer look at where Netflix came up short. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=best-reviewed-movies-of-2019&captions=true"]

The Irishman Shut Out

The Irishman was easily Netflix's biggest awards contender coming into the ceremony, with the Martin Scorsese-directed crime drama earning no fewer than ten Academy Award nominations. Those nominations included Best Picture, Best Director and two separate Best Supporting Actor noms for Al Pacino and Joe Pesci. While the Academy has been notoriously stingy about doling out Oscars to Scorsese films - Scorsese himself didn't take home a Best Director Oscar until 2006's The Departed - it seemed like a safe bet The Irishman would receive some amount of recognition this year, if only in celebration of Scorsese's long, storied career. Instead, The Irishman was completely shut out of the awards, even in the Best Supporting Actor category. The Academy has been slow to recognize Netflix and other streaming services as legitimate competitors to the traditional Hollywood studios. The friction between Netflix and theater chains about the length of The Irishman's exclusive theatrical window may not have helped, either.

Marriage Story's Lone Win

After The Irishman, Noah Baumbach's Marriage Story was Netflix's best chance at boosting its Oscar pedigree. And it did come through thanks to Laura Dern winning Best Supporting Actress, but after that early victory, Marriage Story was completely forgotten. While the film was always seen as a long shot for Best Picture, both Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson were considered strong contenders to win Best Actor and Best Actress, respectively. We suppose it never pays to go up against the Joker. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/09/30/the-irishman-review"]

Other Netflix Shut-Outs

Apart from Dern's Oscar and American Factory's Best Feature Documentary win, it wasn't a great night for Netflix at the Academy Awards. The Two Popes was nominated in three categories - Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay - but lost in all three. Nor did Klaus manage to stop Toy Story 4 from bringing home yet another Best Animated Feature Film award for Pixar. In general, Netflix's performance in 2020 is a far cry from its 2019 successes. Netflix may have had fewer nominations last year (15), but it won more awards. The streaming service got a huge boost from Alfonso Cuarón's Roma, which won Oscars for Best Director, Best Foreign Language Film and Best Cinematography. We'll see if Netflix is able to bounce back in 2021. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Jesse is a mild-mannered staff writer for IGN.
