In today's Daily Fix: Xbox has revealed the new titles coming to Game Pass as part of Wave 1, and that's Mafia: Definitive Edition, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, and Creatures of Ava, which is a Day 1 title for the service. In other news, the creator of Balatro has taken steps to ensure the game can never be used to promote actual gambling, despite the game revolving heavily around poker. Creator LocalThunk has added a clause to his will that states Balatro can't be sold to a casino or gambling company (but that might not stop the likely many Balatro copycats from selling out). And finally, the remake of the cult classic zombie action game Lollipop Chainsaw won't be releasing on its September 25th date—it's getting moved up two weeks.

The mantis shrimp is one tough customer. Beautiful and deadly are two words you don’t typically use to describe shrimp, but the mantis shrimp is definitely in a class of its own; earning a reputation as the ‘savage boxer of the sea’ and one of the most fearsome creatures in the ocean. And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

Someone at Amazon Prime Video really loves Westerns. Among the new movies on Prime Video in July are classic Westerns, including Shane, A Fistful of Dollars, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and El Dorado. But Prime Video isn’t just limited to Westerns, and it has added a very robust selection of movies from the last six decades in this month alone. Modern movie lovers may appreciate Prime Video’s more recent films like Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, Bob Marley: One Love, and Lisa Frankenstein. But for our money, the one Amazon Prime Video movie that you have to watch in July 2024 is the 1985 thriller Witness.
