AMD Revenue Warning Signals Deep Chip Slump; Shares Dive 4

The official teaser trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie is finally here!! 🍄 After playing the games for years as a kid (and adult) I'm excited to bring Mario to all of you! Enjoy! #SuperMarioMovie @supermariomovie pic.twitter.com/ubJZu8jCFO

Last week memory chip maker Micron Technology warned of tougher times and said it was cutting its capex investments in fiscal 2023 by over 30% to a total of $8 billion. Nvidia Corp and Intel Corp both delivered much worse than expected earnings in their latest reports.

This is partly because of its blockbusting scale. Even the Marvel Cinematic Universe struggles to compete with this grand comic-book story, told across about 20 hours, and full of both spectacle and (brilliantly voice-acted) character work.

It's-a him. Chris Pratt as Mario in the movie. OK, so co-producer Chris Meledandri confirmed back in 2021 that Pratt wasn't going to use the stereotyped voice of the video game plumber in the upcoming animated Mario film. But on Thursday, Nintendo dropped a highly anticipated teaser trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and Pratt revealed, kind of, the voice he did choose.

And another person summed it up nicely, writing, "It's not similar to Mario. It's not similar to Mario's vibe. It's not even similar to the live action movie version. Just Chris Pratt sounding a little confused."

Created by Ryan Murphy, the show which centers on one of America's most famous serial killers - who notoriously ate his victims - has become the platform's ninth most popular English-language TV series of all time.

Honestly, the much-anticipated Pratt-as-Mario voice was kind of a letdown. There's ... maybe a faint bit of Italian accent in the few lines Pratt speaks? Or is he just using his normal voice? Pratt's Mario mostly just reacts to getting the wind knocked out of him as he heads off on his Mushroom Kingdom adventure. 

Even when Marvel's Spider-Man threatens to be like other pkv Games — sending you to some part of the city, so that you can beat up some goons, so that you can upgrade your skills — there's always its amazing take on simply getting around.

play - Matt Piscatella, an analyst with market research group NPD, estimated that people in the United States will spend about $55.5 billion on gaming in total this year, less than last year but still up 28 percent from the pre-pandemic yea

Runaway inflation and the reopening of offices and schools have led people to spend less on PCs than they did during lockdowns when many bought computers for work and school as they stayed home during the pandemic.

The record was previously held by another violent show, 'Squid Game.' The fictional South Korean series depicts hundreds of contestants bid for a massive sum of money through horrifying versions of playground games. 

"It's been a lifelong dream of mine to be Mario," Pratt says in a video clip preceding the trailer, relating how he played Mario games on a machine at his childhood laundromat. Good to know, but the jury is still out on how that dream will become a reality. 

'I think that, in tumultuous times where people feel uneasy and a lot of anxiety about their world, watching true crime helps them sort of acclimate themselves to the worst things on earth and they become accustomed to it. 

The trailer did reveal Jack Black as Bowser, and Keegan-Michael Key as Toad. But some fans were disappointed that the clip didn't include a clip of Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, especially the actor's infamous laugh.

Sure, there was no way Pratt was going to use the exaggerated, stereotypical voice, but so little of him can actually be heard in the teaser it's tough to say how his Mario will sound. He doesn't deliver any of Mario's famed catchphrases -- no "It's-a me, Mario" or "Wahoo!" Maybe more will be revealed when a longer trailer comes along. Regardless, there's a better chance to hear some of Jack Black's Bowser (he's excellent) and a good look at the vibrant animation.

lysts. "Higher prices in everyday spending categories such as food and gas, the return of experiential spending such as travel and attending live events, a lighter release slate of new games, and continued new generation console hardware supply constraints were all likely contributors to the decline seen in the second quarter," Piscat
Oct 6 (Reuters) - Chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices Inc on Thursday provided third-quarter revenue estimates that were about a billion dollars less than previously forecast, signaling the chip slump could be much worse than expected.

But I was soon back to gaming, thanks to that swinging mechanic. Press a button to send Spider-Man Tarzanning through the air, release it to have him drop. Up, down, up, down, with a few embellishments along the way. It's a masterpiece of momentum, and it never gets boring.

It retells the story of Dahmer from the perspective of his victims and explores major mistakes Wisconsin police made in handling the probe of the notorious mass murderer, who made national headlines for acts of cannibalism and necrophilia.
