(Image via @LudwigAhgren/X) The internet's favorite Olympic-style chaos-fest is back, and yes, it's going to be bigger, wilder, and way more memeable. Ludwig's Streamer Games 2025 is officially locked in for August, and this year's event is promising two full days of headbands, egos, and probably some extremely unserious relay races. Ludwig confirms 2025 Streamer Games dates and streaming info On July 27, 2025, Ludwig Ahgren took to X to confirm what fans had been waiting for: Streamer Games 2025 kicks off August 16 and wraps on August 17. The entire event will be livestreamed across both of Ludwig's official channels on Twitch and YouTube, so no FOMO for the online fam. — LudwigAhgren (@LudwigAhgren) The dates, venue, tickets & livestream: everything you need to know This year's showdown will unfold at Leuzinger High School in Lawndale, California, yes, the actual high school. So, you can expect bleachers, track lanes, and likely one inflatable pool. Doors open at 12:00 PM PDT Main event : 1:00 PM to 8:00 PM PDT Dates : Saturday and Sunday, August 16–17, 2025 Are tickets available? Three tiers are available, priced between $35 and $60, and they're already live on Humanitix. Anyone under 18 needs to drag along a parent or guardian who's willing to endure 7 hours of streamer-fueled mayhem. Who's competing in 2025? Here's the lineup (and yes, it's stacked) Confirmed captains for the Streamer Games 2025 include a spicy mix of Twitch queens, YouTube kings, and variety-content chaos agents. The full lineup so far: Vanillamace Cinna Jasontheween ExtraEmily Fuslie Disguised Toast Jacksepticeye Agent 00 Each one is expected to lead a team of fellow content creators through a variety of athletic (and questionably athletic) events. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like How NTUC Club Is Reinventing Golf in Singapore Golf Asia Read More Undo No full event list has dropped yet, but if last year's tug-of-war, dodgeball, and egg toss are any hint, it's going to be sweaty and unserious. Who won last year (and why it was kind of hilarious) In case you forgot, Team Red Bull (Ludwig's own) won the 2024 edition, which obviously led to Twitter/X lighting up with 'rigged' memes. Ludwig even posted: 'Znever dodging the rigged allegations.' Behind them were Team YouTube and Team Podcast, who took silver and bronze, respectively (and eternal bragging rights, probably). Why Streamer Games might be your next favorite weekend binge Between the streamer drama, the physical comedy, the fan signs, and the inevitable meme explosion, Streamer Games 2025 might just be the internet's most fun sports event that isn't a real sports event. So, whether you're tuning in for the chaos, the competition, or just to see Jacksepticeye try a long jump in a headband, mark your calendars.

Moment woman carries seagull home from night out after finding it outside Wetherspoons… but gets instant karma
THIS is the hilarious moment that one drunken pub-goer took a seagull home and got instant karma. Erin Punton, 22, says she was walking home from a night out when she noticed the seagull outside a Wetherspoons in Northumberland. 5 Feeling more than a little bit tipsy, Erin scooped up the bird and began her journey home. Filming herself on the way, Erin sang her new winged friend a ballad. The video shows her belting Valerie by The Zutons - famously covered by Amy Winehouse - with the bird underneath her arm. Dressed in a pink top and a leather jacket, she can be seen shaking her hair out of her face while continuing to clutch onto the seagull. Throughout the hilarious footage, she puts a variety of filters over the camera - including one moody, vintage effect. Eventually, she staggers into her house and proclaims that the seagull is a 'beauty'. However, she then adds: 'He actually wants to stop in my room and everything but I've got nowhere for him.' Erin has revealed that when she woke up the next morning, the mysterious bird was still there. The 22-year-old said: 'I saw the bird outside Wetherspoons and managed to pick him up without even a thought. 'I don't even know what made me pick him up. 'I put him in my sitting room with a blanket. Royal Mail deliveries AXED in seaside village after terrified posties are forced to take drastic action 'When I woke up in the morning, I'd forgotten and he was just floating around the sitting room. 'I dropped him off at the vets the next day in a box and was told he had bird flu.' Horrified, Erin admitted that she had to 'bleach her whole house' after discovering her new fluffy friend was ill. She says the whole incident has left her feeling 'sick'. The news comes after the 13 seaside towns where feeding seagulls could land you with a fine were revealed. Public health and anti-social behaviour laws, introduced in 2009, were brought in to fight nuisance behavior from gulls. Feeding seagulls can cause an increase in swooping attacks, persistent begging and damage to property. Several towns have also introduced Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) to clamp down on efforts to feed gulls. 5

‘Su From So' movie review: JP Thuminad delivers a refreshing and hilarious horror comedy
Very few films grab your attention from the first frame. In Su From So, after a jumpscare, a death is announced, and the entire village in the coastal Karnataka region gathers for elaborate mourning rituals and a feast that follows it. Debutant director JP Thuminad (the actor who played Deepak in SSE Side B) establishes the backdrop and its people with a gentle song. S Chandrasekaran's cinematography draws you into the picturesque setting. Music is the heartbeat of Su From So, a refreshing horror comedy. Unheralded composer Sumedh K and Sandeep Tulasidas, who has scored the BGM, elevate the several moods with their brilliant work. Director JP Thuminad's generous use of songs to drive the narrative results in an emotional manipulation, albeit in a good way. Su From So (Kannada) Director: JP Thuminad Cast: JP Thuminad, Shaneel Gautham, Sandhya Arakere, Prakash Thuminadu, Deepak Rai Panaje Runtime: 137 minutes Storyline: In a quiet village, everyone's convinced that a youngster is possessed. A series of strange and hilarious events unfold as people try to drive away the ghost. The movie begins with goofy fun, and it helps when you have funny, charming actors such as Shaneel Gautham, Prakash Thuminad, and Deepak Rai Panaje exuding vibrant energy to the narrative with their brilliant comic timing. Actor-filmmaker Raj B Shetty, who backed the film under his banner, has great fun essaying a parodical character. The film thankfully, doesn't get reduced to a series of comedic sketches, as the plot kicks in at the right time. It's challenging to discuss the central plot without revealing crucial details. The spoiler-free description of the conflict is that the villagers face a Herculean task to drive away a spirit, named Sulochana, from Someshwara (hence the title), that has possessed a youngster named Ashoka (JP Thuminad). The director derives comedy from a variety of ridiculous reactions and zany situations. He also deploys observational humour, highlighting eccentric characters (like the one played by Pushparaj Bolar) whom you miss without a keen eye. Apart from having plenty of scenes that combine humour with supernatural events, Su From So has standalone comedy sequences to generate the big laughs. JP Thuminad's control over the genre is so strong that we don't mind these scenes, even if they slightly delay the next turn in the story. In the final act, JP Thuminad resists the urge to be specific to a juicy genre, which allows you to go to any lengths to provide the thrills. He instead, treads a unique path, moving deftly moves from serious territory without making us feel the weight of it, and wraps it up as a horror comedy with a big heart. ALSO READ: 'Ekka' movie review: Yuva Rajkumar gives his all to a script that doesn't reward his effort Male characters flood the frames in Su From So. Yet, the film reaches its pinnacle when it tells a stirring tale of a woman (Sandhya Arakere in an affecting performance) fighting patriarchy. The film, which begins with words of high praise for the external beauty of villages, delves deep into its internal filth, the mindset of men who stop women from expressing themselves. This tonal shift is never jarring as Su From So ends on a rousing note, maintaining the assurance of a quality film till the very end. Su From So is currently running in theatres
