In an exciting development for fans of British comedy, Radio 4 is set to air a new one-off special titled “The Call Of Cthudo,” which cleverly combines the classic board game Cluedo with the eerily imaginative universe of H.P. Lovecraft. This unique comedy-horror piece, crafted by James Henry, marks a reunion of sorts for members of the casts from beloved shows “Green Wing” and “Piglets,” bringing together familiar faces in a fresh context.

Scheduled to air in October, “The Call Of Cthudo” features a stellar lineup, with Mark Heap and Stephen Mangan taking on significant roles. Heap portrays Mister Violet, while Mangan steps into the shoes of Lord Black. The plot revolves around a group of color-themed strangers who find themselves trapped in a sprawling country house, faced with the challenge of solving a murder mystery. However, as the storyline unfolds, it becomes evident that the house—and the situation—are far stranger than any of them could possibly anticipate.

-- Short Game --

In The Dream of a Cockspur, you assume the role of a researcher whose team spends two weeks studying the mysterious fallen object on the island without a hitch. However, things go awry when it turns out their ship, the only way home, breaks down. Left stranded on the island, unexplainable things start to happen, and you have to figure out if someone is sabotaging the mission, or if, perhaps, a hidden horror lurks upon the island.

Monsters that lurk in the dark. Shadows in the corners of your eye. That person who doesn’t seem quite…human. The classic tropes of horror can be very fun to dive into when you’re writing, but what if you want to do something bigger? Then, my friend, it might be time for you to explore cosmic horror.

Cosmic horror, sometimes called Lovecraftian horror, is a subgenre of horror fiction that focuses on existential fears and themes of human irrelevancy. It’s experienced a major resurgence lately (which is…concerning) and so has become a very popular field to write in. It’s also popular in the world of movies, being used as a major trope in films like Event Horizon, The Endless, The Void, The Cabin in the Woods, Evil Dead, or The Mist (beware: the ending of this one is extremely disturbing).

Want to know more about this strange and esoteric genre? Read on, if you dare. (...)

Escaping a troubled past, you have finally found some solace with a new life, in a new city. This comfort is shattered when a call from an old friend drags you back into a world that you had tried to leave behind. Amidst sinister corporate entities, dark conspiracies and clashing titans of industry, you find yourself centre stage in a plan of vengeance decades in the making. The promises of the future have been broken, humanity remains rooted in darkness. Yet all it takes is one spark, and you can change everything.

H.P. Lovecraft’s iconic mad scientist first came to cinematic life in 1985’s cult classic horror Re-Animator, embodied in unforgettable fashion by Jeffrey Combs, who reprised the maniacal role in 1990’s Bride of Re-Animator and 2003’s Beyond Re-Animator. 23 years after Combs’ third and final time playing Lovecraft’s take on Victor Frankenstein, the obsessively brilliant character is set to make a comeback in a modern-dress re-imagining.

With Combs himself not coming back for the de-hyphenated Herbert West: ReAnimator, the planned fresh adaptation of Lovecraft’s original story has cast a new mad scientist, tapping Joseph Morgan as the titular West. The Titans star will be joined by Arrow’s Katie Cassidy as Dr. Kate Locke (via exclusive report by Dread Central).

Speed Bump - Dave Coverly - https://www.speedbump.com/

Windows just had its worst month on record. StatCounter’s newly published numbers for June 2026 put worldwide desktop market share for Windows at 56.61%, the first time it has ever fallen below 60% in the history of the dataset. Linux closed the same month at 4.36%, its highest number in a year. The r/linux crowd found the chart within hours, and the thread that followed was half celebration, half cross examination.

Here’s what the data actually says, what it probably doesn’t say, and why the comments didn’t believe it for a second.

Proton 11.0-1 enables support for another batch of Windows games that up to now had only worked when using the recent Steam Experimental builds. The games newly working with Proton 11.0-1 include Universe Generator: The Golden Sword, DCS World Steam Edition, Resident Evil (1996), Resident Evil 2 (1998), Dino Crisis, Dino Crisis 2, From Dust, Blaite, Don't Die Dateless, Dummy!, METAL GEAR SURVIVE, Warhammer: Vermintide 2, Metal Fatigue, and SHOGUN: Total War.

Games now working with Proton for the first time in this release include Unknown Faces, Gothic 1 Classic, X-Plane 12, Breath of Fire IV, and Deadly Premonition.

Proton 11.0-1 also brings a number of different game fixes, improved rendering of the Rockstar Launcher popups, fixes many EA games being unplayable after a recent EA Desktop update, fixing the Steam Overlay that was not working for many EA games, improved support for the Kodi media player, and a wide variety of other fixes.

Proton 11.0-1 also updates to Xalia 0.4.9, FEX 2605 for ARM64EC builds, VKD3D 1.19 Git, DXVK 2.7 Git, DXVK-NVAPI 0.9.1, Wine Mono 11.0, and VKD3D-Proton 20260410.
