Is EA FC 25 down? EA FC 25 is now available worldwide on PC and consoles, but the servers have run into rough weather on the opening night. Shortly after the release of the RTTK promo on Friday, September 27, many players reported that they were unable to log into Ultimate Team. Despite waiting in the in-game queue, several members have been kicked out of the line. This has caused a lot of irritation for some who have been wanting to open the packs and play the different modes. EA Sports address about EA FC 25 server issues It didn't take long for EA Sports to take notice of the issues plaguing the servers. An official tweet has also been sent out, informing the players about the current problems. This incident is pretty similar to what happened after the release of the web app . For nearly an hour, players were unable to use the web app as the servers were out of order. https://twitter.com/EASFCDirect/status/1839733538045985166 The early access period has largely been free of any problems for the Ultimate Edition users. As the player count has increased following the global release, it appears the servers might have run out of capacity. This isn't uncommon and has happened with previous FC titles as well. There's little you can do in the meantime, as any potential fix has to come from the side of the developers. This year, EA Sports has introduced a virtual queue, which appears if the servers have heavy traffic. Unfortunately, I, like many others, was kicked out unceremoniously. Usually, your queue waiting time will increase in such cases. While I have had problems accessing Ultimate Team, you can always enjoy the offline modes like Manager Career. There are some interesting additions that EA Sports has made to the mode this year, and the added realism is sure to delight all. The post Is EA FC 25 down? appeared first on Destructoid .

Oscar-Winning Harry Potter Star Maggie Smith Dies At 89Dame Maggie Smith, the two-time Oscar-winning actor best known for playing Professor Minerva McGonagall in the Harry Potter movie franchise and the acid-tongued Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess on Downton Abbey, died Friday, her publicist and children confirmed. The iconic actress was 89. Her professional acting career began in the 1950s and won Academy Awards for her performances in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and California Suite. She was also nominated an additional four times for roles in now classic Hollywood movies such as A Room With A View and Gosford Park. Both of Smith's sons, Chris Larkin and Toby Stephens, paid tribute to their mother in a joint statement. "It is with great sadness we have to announce the death of Dame Maggie Smith. She passed away peacefully in hospital early this morning," they wrote (via The Guardian ). "An intensely private person, she was with friends and family at the end. She leaves two sons and five loving grandchildren who are devastated by the loss of their extraordinary mother and grandmother." They added that they wanted to thank "the wonderful staff at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital for their care and unstinting kindness during her final days." No specific cause was given. To a generation, she was the ultimate grandmother figure from her work in Sister Act and Hook, something that the actor embraced. During an interview in 2016, Smith told NPR that as a character actor, rather than a "dish", she was able to age into roles as mothers and grandmothers while still developing her talents rather than losing roles.

Godfather Director's Big-Budget Megalopolis Could Make Less Money Than BorderlandsFrancis Ford Coppola's latest film, Megalopolis, had more than enough PR problems before it had a trailer pulled because it had AI-generated fake movie review quotes . That trailer was meant to reassure audiences that the auteur behind The Godfather trilogy had overcome negative buzz before. But if current box office projections for Megalopolis hold, it may have an even lower opening weekend than the Borderlands movie. According to Variety , Megalopolis is tracking for a debut weekend that will land somewhere between $5 million and $7 million. By contrast, Borderlands opened with $8.6 million on its way to a dismal $32.9 million worldwide total against a $120 million budget. Megalopolis also reportedly cost $120 million to make, but the key difference is that Coppola put up most of that money by himself. The director has been trying to make this movie for years, and he moved to self-finance it when no major studio would go forward with him. Coppola brought together an A-list cast for Megalopolis, including Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Laurence Fishburne, and Dustin Hoffman. Driver stars as Cesar Catilina, an architect who can control space and time. Cesar wants to completely re-conceptualize his crumbling city, New Rome, while Mayor Franklyn Cicero (Esposito) wants to maintain the status quo at any cost. Earlier this year, background performers from one of Megalopolis' club scenes accused Coppola of making unwelcome physical contact with some of the female extras that included kisses to "get them in the mood." Coppola subsequently denied the charges, and sued Variety over the original story . But the alleged incident was another public black eye for the film. Megalopolis will hit theaters on Friday, September 27.

How to get Strange Coins in Destiny 2 Destiny 2 is no stranger to having a ton of different currencies to keep track of. I still hold onto a few random things like Gunsmith Materials myself, even if I'll never use them. It's the way of any RPG, realistically. One such resource that's highly valued is Strange Coins, seeing as they are the main currency for a weekly vendor. Here's how to get Strange Coins in Destiny 2 . Where to get Strange Coins in Destiny 2 Image via Destructoid. Strange Coins can be earned when completing any ritual activity in the game . These include anything from the Vanguard, Crucible, and Gambit sections at the top of the Destinations screen. As for which can give you more, you'll likely see more success when completing random strikes or Onslaught , but you might have more fun with Crucible or Gambit if you're a bigger fan of PvP. If you're no longer earning Strange Coins, you've likely hit the maximum amount of 99 . This means you'll either need to delete your current Strange Coins (which would be silly) or spend them to earn more. What can you use Strange Coins for? Strange Coins are used with Xur, who comes to the Tower every Friday until the next weekly reset on Tuesday. His offers include various exotic items, different legendary weapons or armor with specific rolls, and Exotic Ciphers, which can be used to buy Exotic items from Master Rahool or the Monument to Lost Lights. If you're a veteran player, you'll likely want to spend your Strange Coins on an exotic class item roll so you can complete your collection.

Joaquin Phoenix Struggled With Joker 2's Musical NumbersIn 2006, Joaquin Phoenix was nominated for Best Actor for playing Johnny Cash in Walk the Line, a role that required him to sing Cash's legendary songs. Phoenix didn't win the Oscar until 2020 when he was named Best Actor for playing Arthur Fleck in Joker . However, Phoenix's previous music experience didn't make things any easier for him when filming Joker: Folie à Deux . According to director Todd Phillips, the pressure of shooting the sequel's elaborate musical numbers made Phoenix feel physically ill. While speaking with EW , Phillips said that Phoenix "was sick every day" over nerves because the movie required him to sing and dance on set alongside his new co-star, Lady Gaga. Phillips also credited Gaga--who plays Harley Quinn in the film--with giving Phoenix advice that helped him up his game for those scenes. Conversely, Phoenix was able to give Gaga suggestions that helped her performance as well. "The truth is, they gave each other pointers," recalls Phillips. "He'd give her pointers about acting; she's been in movies, but he's Joaquin Phoenix. She gave him tips about music because she's Lady Gaga. It’s what movies should be: a giant collaboration." Phillips also elaborated on his reluctance to call Joker: Folie à Deux a musical. "I got a little heat for saying it's not really a musical," said Phillips. "I wasn't saying that because I'm afraid of the term, 'musical.' I love musicals, and the movie definitely has music in it. It might even be a musical. To clarify, most of the times I've ever seen a musical, I walk out feeling better than I did when I walked in. On this movie, I'm not sure it's the same thing. I wouldn't want to be misleading and say you're going to be whistling the songs from this movie on the way to your car after you see it." Earlier this week, Gaga revealed that she recorded a concept album as a companion for Joker: Folie à Deux, which will be released on Friday, September 27. The film will be released a week later on Friday, October 4.

Lady Gaga Is Going All Out To Promote Joker 2Joker: Folie à Deux is now just over a week from debuting in theaters, but one of the film's stars is getting an early start on the film's final promotional push. Lady Gaga, who stars as Harley Quinn, is dropping a concept album centered around her character on Friday, September 27. Gaga shared the news via her account on X, and revealed that the name of the album is Harlequin. Harlequin. September 27.

Good Morning Get Happy (2024) Oh, When the Saints World on a String If My Friends Could See Me Now That's Entertainment Smile The Joker Folie à Deux Gonna Build a Mountain Close To You Happy Mistake That's Life The album is already available for pre-order at the following outlets: Lady Gaga's Official Store Amazon Music Apple Music iTunes Store Spotify Much like the first Joker movie, the sequel takes some liberties with the comic book backstory of the romance between Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) and Harleen "Lee" Quinzel (Gaga). Instead of serving as Joker's psychiatrist at Arkham State Hospital, Lee is a fellow patient who falls in love with Joker when he's placed on trial for his actions in the previous film. The various trailers suggest that Arthur and Lee will share several fantasy sequences together as well as a few musical numbers. The previews for the film have also revealed that another future Batman villain, Harvey Dent (Harry Lawtey), is the crusading district attorney who wants to make his name by prosecuting Arthur. Meanwhile, Joker's growing army of followers want to see him walk free, and they may go to some serious extremes to make that happen. Joker: Folie à Deux will hit theaters on October 4.
