Batman: Arkham Asylum is one of those games that was fun on a ton of different levels, and a large part of its success had to do with Rocksteady Studios really nailing what made Batman Batman. The free-form combat system alone added a ton of re-playability in the challenges. The game’s stealth elements and navigation via the Batclaw made each encounter an easy to plan and enjoyable experience. While the game wasn’t without some minor problems, in the form of a tacked on investigation system and some sluggish movement, it was one of the best contributions to the comic book to videogame genre....

Earlier this month, Ninja, arguably the most popular video game streamer in the world, announced that he was quitting Twitch to stream exclusively on Mixer. Instead of simply leaving Ninja’s channel alone, Twitch decided to use it to promote other channels and drive Ninja fans elsewhere. However, on August 11, a porn channel appeared as the top “Popular Fortnite channel” promoted on Ninja’s unused Twitch account. It appears as though the channel was quickly removed and it’s unlikely that Twitch was promoting it on purpose, but Ninja is understandably upset about the situation....
