Around the Gaming Horn
The Shacknews staff got a lot of news out today, but here's some rapid-fire news that flew under our radar while we were conducting some Mario Kart science on stream.
With a new Tomb Raider series debuting on Netflix, now's as good a time as any for Aspyr to announce the next Lara Croft trilogy is being remastered.
Flint: Treasure of Oblivion needs just a little more time in the oven. It's skipping its scheduled October 24 release date and will now be out on November 14.
Starship Troopers: Extermination is out of Steam Early Access. The 1.0 update is now out on PC and it can also be played on consoles.
Weezer + @FortniteGame, does it get any better? Drop into Arnold's Drive-In, but watch out! You might just get #weezered.

Under the learning tree with Masahiro Sakurai
Masahiro Sakurai started a YouTube channel! Let's learn from his decades of experience together by looking at one of his latest videos. We already covered the reflection on Satoru Iwata earlier today, so let's look at this video on the tough job of a director when it comes to trimming costs.
And just like that, we're at the end of this feature. When Sakurai's final video goes up next week, we'll cover it on the site. But that is the end of Sakurai's wisdom as a regular feature in this column. Thank you for sharing with us, Mr. Sakurai!
