Game Devs of Color Expo 2025 starts on September 16
This year's GDoCExpo Direct kicks off the conference on September 16 at 4PM ET / 1PM ET on the Game Devs of Color Expo YouTube channel. The direct is supposed to feature "more than 30 games" and it'll be paired with a Game Devs of Color Expo Steam Sale with discounts and demos to try for some of the games featured in the showcase.
Watching the Direct is free, but to view the Expo's developer interviews and live panels, you'll have to pay for a ticket. A regular ticket costs $50, but the Game Devs of Color nonprofit organization also offers cheaper ways to attend for anyone who can't afford the ticket price. This year's conference includes talks on budgeting, design leadership and "Decolonizing Cozy Games."
Game Devs of Color has been running the Game Devs of Color Expo since 2016, with the explicit mission of amplifying "the creative power held by people of color in games." The Expo and Direct attempt to make industry knowledge and marketing opportunities accessible to creators, but the organization also helps directly fund game projects through grants. Game Devs of Color says it'll award $15,000 in "no-strings development grants" to developers at the Expo this year, and that it's awarded "a total of $405,000" since 2019.

Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors The 27th season of South Park kicked off with a bang last week, sparking conversation among fans of the show, who are claiming it is back and as great as ever.

Character cut-outs are seen at Paramount+'s South Park in San Diego event during 2025 San Diego Comic-Con on July 25, 2025 in San Diego, Paramount+ How to Watch South Park - Season 27, Episode 2 Date: Wednesday, August 6, 2025 Time: 10:00 PM ET Channel: Comedy Central, Paramount+ Stream: Fubo - Episode 2 Premiere (WATCH NOW), Paramount - Live Stream Every Episode After Premiere (WATCH NOW) Trey Parker and Matt Stone crushed the opener of South Park season 27, as Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman had an encounter with Jesus himself at their school and came to the realisation that "woke is dead", causing Cartman to fall into a dead depression. The star of the first episode, however, was the president himself, Donald Trump. It appears Trump may be a recurring character in this season, and that is something all the fans will be here for, as his portrayal in episode one stole the show. There are likely to be many more storylines and pop culture references throughout the entirety of the season, with every episode tackling a new, relevant subject. This should be another fantastic episode that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the drama. New episodes will air every Wednesday night on Comedy Central, which is available through Fubo. The day after new episodes air, they will be available to stream on Paramount+.

'Outlander' spinoff stars reveal why sex scenes were 'daunting'
It's all in the family. The hit series 'Outlander' now has a spinoff, 'Outlander: Blood of My Blood,' premiering Friday, Aug 8 on Starz (8 p.m. ET). 'One of the main things ['Outlander' star Sam Heughan] said to me right at the start was just to enjoy every single moment as much as you can,' Jamie Roy, who stars in 'Outlander: Blood of my Blood,' told The Post. 11 Caitriona Balfe as Claire Randall, right, and Sam Heughan as Jamie Fraser in 'Outlander.' AP 11 Sam Heughan, Hermione Corfield, Jamie Roy, Harriet Slater at Los Angeles premiere of 'Outlander: Blood Of My Blood' on July 28, 2025. Xavier Collin/Image Press Agency/MEGA 'Outlander' premiered in 2014 (based on a bestselling book series), and will end with Season 8 at an unannounced date in 2026. The original show follows Claire (Caitriona Balfe), an English nurse from 1945 who time-travels back to 1743, where she falls in love with the Scottish highlander, Jamie Fraser (Heughan). 'Outlander: Blood of My Blood' is a prequel about the dual love stories of Jamie's parents, Brian Fraser (Roy) and Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater), and Claire's parents, Julia (Hermione Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine). Heughan isn't in 'Outlander: Blood of My Blood,' since it shows Jamie's parents falling in love before he was born. Slater and Roy, however, have met the actor who plays their on-screen 'son' at various events promoting the show. 11 Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) with Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) in 'Blood of My Blood.' Starz Roy revealed that Heughan gave him the advice that 'There's going to be tough days. But ultimately, take a step back and look at what you're doing and how lucky we are to be able to do this sort of thing.' He shared, 'I've taken that [advice] with me.' The Scottish actor added that Heughan 'literally was texting me [at the premiere], checking in on me. Saying, 'How are you doing? Are you coping okay?'' 11 Jamie Roy with Harriet Slater in their video interview with the Post. The New York Post 11 Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) and Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) in 'Blood of My Blood.' Starz Roy said that Heughan's messages 'really means a lot more than I can say, to have that kind of support.' Slater told The Post that she didn't try to imitate Heughan's mannerisms while playing his on-screen mother, but she and Roy 'both watched 'Outlander' while shooting Season 1 of 'Blood in My Blood.'' The 'Pennyworth' actress added, 'I think I just absorbed the spirit of Jamie Fraser and also of [his daughter, Brianna] and also of [his sister, Jenny] as well. So, I didn't try to mimic anything or learn any mannerisms or anything like that. It was more of just a general absorbing of the characters, and the core of them.' 11 Sam Heughan in 'Outlander.' ©Starz! Movie Channel/Courtesy Everett Collection 11 Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy); Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) in 'Blood of My Blood.' Starz Roy joked that fans have complimented how his performance is similar to Heughan's, but he didn't do it on purpose. 'I wish I could take credit. I worked hard, but that wasn't the stuff that I was focusing on. So any little crossovers you see are totally coincidental, for the most part.' He said that any similarities between the on-screen father and son 'just speaks to casting's ability to find actors like myself and Harriett, who do embody some certain aspects of other actors.' 11 Jamie Roy and Harriet Slater attend the 'Outlander: Blood of my Blood' premiere on July 28, 2025. Getty Images for STARZ 11 Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) and Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) in 'Outlander: Blood of My Blood.' Starz 'Outlander' is known for its steamy scenes, and 'Outlander: Blood of My Blood' also has plenty. 'I'd never done anything of this level before, and it was daunting,' said Slater. She added, 'But we have a brilliant team of support behind us. We work with an intimacy coordinator, who makes sure that we feel safe and confident before we step on set for any kind of those kinds of scenes.' Slater explained that there's always a closed set for sex scenes, 'which means there's as few people as possible, and we rehearse a lot beforehand. So that we know exactly what is going to be asked of us on the day, it's choreographed.' 11 Sam Heughan attends the 'Outlander: Blood of my Blood' premiere on July 28, 2025 in Los Angeles, California.

He added, 'Because I'm like, 'Well, I gotta look good!' So, I don't drink as much booze as I would have, and I eat healthier. So it's a win, I guess.'
