Senior entertainment editor
Andrew Webster is the entertainment editor at The Verge, where he oversees the site's coverage of the intersecting worlds of gaming, film, and television. He joined the site in 2012 and has covered major events like E3, TIFF, Sundance, and GDC; served as a judge at The Game Awards and E3; interviewed industry luminaries like Shigeru Miyamoto, Phil Spencer, and Hironobu Sakaguchi; and reviewed countless games, movies, and shows including basically every Pokémon release. He has also edited several special issues covering topics like the history of PlayStation and how creatives get paid online.
Before his time at The Verge, his work was featured in outlets like Ars Technica, Wired.com, Eurogamer, and others. He studied professional writing at York University in Toronto and is currently based in Hamilton, Ontario. (Go Leafs Go.)
The new video for Porter Robinson’s “Easier to Love You” features some gorgeous animation, courtesy director Tomoyasu Murata. It’s almost enough to make you forget how sad it is. (For those unfamiliar with his work, check out this interview I did with Robinson back in 2022.)
Now that the first season of The Acolyte has wrapped, Lucasfilm is shifting attention to the next Star Wars spinoff, Skeleton crew. In addition to revealing the first images for the coming-of-age series, the studio also confirmed that it’ll start streaming on Disney Plus on December 3rd.
The anime Terminator Zero hits Netflix next month as part of a busy summer of streaming sci-fi. Now we have our first full trailer for the series, which takes place in 1997 just as the Skynet AI becomes self-aware. If nothing else, the new clip will likely get the Smashing Pumpkins stuck in your head.
I’ve been following LuckyMong for a while now because of their incredible (and incredibly fast) illustrations of NBA players. Now, like much of the world, the artist has turned their attention to the Olympics in Paris with very fun images of just how tall Victor Wembanyama is, and South Korean pistol shooter Kim Ye-ji looking like a Metal Gear Solid character.
Just in time for the summer Olympics, Netflix has launched a multiplayer athletics competition with the very on-the-nose title of Sports Sports. It’s available on mobile now (so long as you have a Netflix subscription, of course).
Who knows when Nintendo will revisit its futuristic racing series, but in the meantime there’s G-Zero World GP. As spotted by our friends at Time Extension, the game is available to play for free right now; you can check it out in a browser, or download it for any Game Boy Color-compatible device. Like, say, an emulator on your phone.
