| Less than a week ago, we learned that FOX's So You Think You Can Dance judge Matthew Morrison (Glee, AHS 1984) had departed the dance competition series over a failure to (as he wrote in a statement, see below) "follow competition production protocols, " PEOPLE is reporting from a source close to the FOX series that Morrison was fired "after he had an inappropriate relationship with a female contestant." Though representatives for Morrison and FOX hadn't responded to requests for comment as of this writing, the source told PEOPLE, "They didn't have sex, but he reached out to her through flirty direct messages on social media. She felt uncomfortable with his line of comments and went to producers, who then got FOX involved. He was fired after they did their own investigation." Though the two "never met up off-set," the source added, "it was just messages that crossed the line."

“To me, accessible gaming, and accessible content in general, means that everybody should have the same experience no matter their situation.” These words come from Sean McIntyre, whose career in entertainment has included helping to produce live events such as the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) and serving as a producer on G4’s Attack of the Show. He’s now the accessibility lead for Xbox Marketing and distribution lead for programming and events. “They should be able to take away what the person next to them does regardless of vision, hearing or language,” McIntyre tells The Hollywood Reporter over email. Toward one of these goals, Xbox recently partnered with Sorenson, a communications company with an expansive sign language interpreter base, to launch a dedicated channel on Twitch featuring American Sign Language interpretations, strategies and tips to help the community of Deaf and hard-of-hearing gamers actively participate in streams. In addition to providing interpretations for approximately 25 hours of livestreams a week, the channel will include interviews with game developers, esports tournaments, event coverage, streamer takeovers and spotlights on independent games that never received captioning.

A twitch bait has quickly become an ideal jerkbait substitute for Wired2fish’s Ryan DeChaine. In this video, DeChaine explains why twitch baits can excel in shallow water applications during the post-spawn period and into the summer months. FEATURED PRODUCTS TWITCH BAIT – Savage Gear Twitch Reaper, 90 mm, color: Chartreuse ROD – Savage Gear Battletek Casting Rod, 7’1″ Medium REEL – Daiwa Tatula SV TWS Casting Reel, 8.1:1 LINE – Seaguar Tatsu Fluorocarbon Line, 14-pound DeChaine first caught on to the power of a twitch bait after seeing their inshore capabilities, targeting snook, redfish, and other saltwater species. The ability to “free-form” the bait and work it in a variety of different ways is what sets this lure apart from a jerkbait. The broader profile of a twitch bait also mimics bigger-bodied forage such as small bluegill and crappie. DeChaine opts to throw louder colored twitch baits for the sole fact of being able to see his bait at all times. He feels that bright, obnoxious colors not only let you have complete control of your bait at all times but can also call fish to you from greater distances. Couple this with your average 7’1” medium power rod, a…

Western tech companies may be leaving Russia in droves, but the Russian government isn't letting them go without attempting to extract some cash in the form of fines.As Reuters reports(Opens in a new window), Russia's communications regulator Roskomnadzor has opened cases against Apple, Airbnb, Google, Likeme, Pinterest, Twitch, and UPS for failures to comply with Russian legislation. Google was fined $46,000 last year for storing personal data outside of Russian territory, now it could face a further fine of between $90,000 and $270,000.The same looks likely for the other companies mentioned above. In all cases, it seems Roskomnadzor isn't happy with the way in which personal data was stored and/or the location of its storage, but the action may also relate to content and censorship within Russia. However, unlike Google, Apple, Airbnb, Likeme, Pinterest, Twitch, and UPS will have their fines limited to up to $90,000 because they are first offenders.If Google is found guilty of another breach, paying the fine could prove difficult. Earlier this month, Google filed for bankruptcy in Russia after Russian authorities seized its bank account and made it all but impossible for operations to continue. With that in mind, any fine would have to be…

poly-lt-wire-logo Jake Randall has built a platform on sharing his strategies Join one of Jake Randall’s streams and he appears, in the corner of the screen, sitting with his back against a bookshelf that’s overflowing with video game jewel cases. He’s staring down an online retailer in the nervy minutes before a PlayStation 5 restock. Today, the target is Amazon, and Randall educates the crowd with his most dependable console-rustling axioms: Be an Amazon Prime member or free trial holder, go to the PS5 page and click “add to list,” have one tab open with the the product page and one with said list, and attempt to buy the hardware from both sources once the “add to cart” buttons unlock. He explains that it’s common to fail dozens and dozens of times before you are successful, and to repeat these steps until the process works. A few minutes later the consoles are restocked, and the legion of Randall pours through the breach, refreshing the checkout page over and over again. The chat lights up as people share successes and failures. For the past two years, Randall has been one of the preeminent console purchasing influencers in the world. He has…

When Twitch first came onto the scene, it was a split off of the “gaming” category of the livestreaming site Justin.tv. Though the site’s beardiest necks still vehemently argue that the site should be used exclusively for video game streaming, those days are long gone. Twitch is now home to streams of all kinds, though the vast majority of the platform remains made up of video game livestreams, whether it’s of a competitive esports pro grinding the Valorant ladder or a casual gamer tending to their Stardew Valley farm. The userbase of Twitch is as expansive and diverse as the community of gaming in general, and we’re a long way from the days of “video games are for kids.” However, that’s not to say that Twitch doesn’t have a huge segment of young viewers. Twitch's reported average user age as 21, with 20% of users being between 13-17 years of age. This data, however, also relies on users’ self-reported age, which is far from reliable. It also assumes that there are no users under 13 years old, since users have to be 13 years of age in order to create an account on the site. Not to mention, you can…
