‘South Park: Snow Day!’ Marks the Return to A Place ‘South Park’ Hasn’t Been in 10 Years

When you’ve been waiting for the bus for almost 30 years, you might as well just walk.

South Park: Snow Day!, the first fully 3D South Park game since the ill-conceived cart racer South Park Rally in 2000, finally launched on Tuesday to a lukewarm response from gamers and critics. In the newest South Park title, Trey Parker and Matt Stone made a drastic departure from the turn-based RPG-style games of Snow Day’s two narrative predecessors South Park: The Stick of Truth and South Park: The Fractured But Whole, choosing action-adventure, multiplayer-friendly hack-and-slash gameplay to continue the storyline of the game series.

‘Taskmaster’ Greg Davies Is Not Pretending to Be Angry at Alex Horne

There’s a lot to love about Taskmaster, the U.K.’s most unhinged panel show. Paramount among them: the wait between seasons usually isn’t too long. 

It’s only been about four months since we saw off Series 16’s latest crop of actors and comics as they completed such tasks as “Learn pi to the most decimal places” and “Convince a child you’re asleep.” Tonight, U.K. viewers will get their first look at Series 17’s class — Joanne McNally, Nick Mohammed, Steve Pemberton, John Robins and Sophie Willan. Those viewers will then immediately start assessing which chose the most practical task costume and making educated guesses as to where they may each end up in the series’s final standings.
