The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 (or Elite 2 for short) has arguably been the industry gold standard for a pro-level game controller for the past decade. Over the years dozens of competitors have cropped up, hoping to give Microsoft a run for its money. While the Elite 2 still isn't perfect, it still sets the bar high. What I like about the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 One of the best things the Elite 2 has going for it is the layout -- it's almost identical to the standa

A new report from The Hollywood Reporter alleges that Elio, Pixar’s latest movie, has become the latest in a growing line at the studio to face radical cuts and changes from senior management—including, yet again, the erasure of a queer narrative. The report revealed that Elio had a fraught behind-the-scenes production, that saw much of original director Adrian Molina’s (Coco) vision undergo significant restructuring to become the film that is in theaters now.
