Stephen Curry and Shaq lip-sync to Ed Sheeran’s Sing and it’s hilarious

By Aliya Barnwell Updated December 7, 2015

Activision recently ran a fan contest for clips of people lip-synching to “Sing” by Ed Sheeran. Fans were asked to submit their best moments via the musical.ly mobile app. More than 100,000 videos were submitted, and the results are in. The best vids are now in a music video featuring Stephen Curry, Shaquille O’Neal, Erin Andrews and King Bach. They are also playable in GHTV, Guitar Hero Live’s online playable network.

Fan subs were edited together by Alan Chimenti, the editor behind videos for Taylor Swift, Katy Perry’s “Roar,” the NFL, and more. “It’s been absolutely incredible to see the creative responses we got for the Guitar Hero TV Star contest,” Tim Ellis, CMO of Activision Publishing said in a statement.

GHTV Guitar Hero Live is the world’s first playable music video network. Guitar Hero players can play along with official music videos. This premiere lets fans play along in Guitar Hero Live with the first ever crowd-sourced music video for GHTV. “With GHTV we can create unique playable music experiences such as capturing footage from live concerts and transforming fan-submitted music videos into a playable experience.”

Essentially, GHTV is an online broadcast service you get through the main Guitar Hero game. Themed channels pop up based on what you usually play in-game. There’s also a schedule for curated tracks that are linked to official videos of live concert footage of the actual bands. Players can jump right into any video that’s playing. You can also buy the track for offline play.

Guitar Hero Live is out for PS3, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, WiiU, iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. Musical.ly, co-founder and co-CEO Jun Zhu was thrilled that the collaboration between his company and Activision went well. “Musical.ly is unique in its ability to encourage creativity and collaboration between users, artists, and brands, and we’re excited for future opportunities to showcase the creative potential of the musical.ly community.”

Watching Shaq and NBA MVP Stephen Curry may not be as as funny as Jimmy Fallon’s Lip-Synch Battles, but it’s still pretty rich. You can watch regular people working it out with “hoverboard” drones, trying to one-up each other. And if you have the Guitar Hero game, you can hop on and try it out for yourself.

How to revive dead companions in Baldur’s Gate 3

Withers offering services to the player in Baldur's Gate 3.

You're given a good bit of leeway during battles in Baldur's Gate 3 before you or a companion actually bites the dust for good. While in battle, if a teammate does take enough damage to drop, they aren't dead then and there. Instead, they will be downed with a chance to roll every turn to get back up. If they roll successfully three times, the battle ends, or you use another character to pick them up, they're good. If they fail that roll three times, however, they will be completely dead. That can be harsh when you've become attached to certain characters and want to further their stories, so you'll be looking for any way you can to bring them back. Thankfully you do have a few options for reviving companions in Baldur's Gate 3, but just like respeccing, they aren't so obvious.
Pay Withers to bring them back

Withers is a friendly undead you can find in a secret room in the Dank Crypt found inside the Overgrown Ruins. After finding and speaking to him in his sarcophagus, he will offer you various services, one of which is bringing back any dead companions. He won't do this out of the kindness of his heart (probably because it isn't beating) and will charge you a heavy fine of 200 gold to do so. Still, that's a small price to pay to bring back a beloved character. Once paid, that character will appear in your camp where they would normally be, so there's no need to go back to their corpse and find them.

Every video game delay that has happened in 2023 so far

The player skates toward the moon in Skate Story.

Few things feel as inevitable in the video game industry as delays. Ever since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, game delays have only become more and more common as developers find previously set timelines unrealistic and adjust their release plans accordingly. More than halfway through 2023, we've already seen some notable AAA games like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Skull & Bones, and Pragmata delayed pretty heavily. Because video game release date delays are so common, it can be tough to keep track of every game that has had its launch date shifted in some way.
That's why, just as we did in 2021 and 2022, Digital Trends is rounding up every game delay that's announced throughout 2023. Here are the high-profile ones that have happened so far, listed chronologically by their new intended release dates.
The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR (March 16)

As Until Dawn: Rush of Blood is one of the best games for PlayStation VR, The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR, Supermassive Games' PlayStation VR2 successor, is a highly anticipated launch title for the upcoming VR headset. Unfortunately, it will no longer make PlayStation VR2's February 22 launch and will instead be released on March 16. On Twitter, a message from Supermassive Games says this delay will ensure that players "receive the most polished, terrifying experience possible" at release. The game was released on that date to mixed reviews.

Is Remnant 2 cross-platform?

Three characters shoot at a boss in Remnant 2.

Aside from the focus on firearms and integrating some randomly generated environments, the Remnant series sets itself apart from other souls-like games mainly with its focus on co-op. Both titles encourage you to team up with two friends to fight your way through the mutated monsters that await. After so many years of progress in terms of multiplatform games incorporating full cross-platform support, you might assume Remnant 2 will follow suit and let you make a group with anyone regardless of what platform they're on. However, the truth may be a bit more disappointing. Before you make plans with your squad, here's what you need to know about Remnant 2's cross-platform support.
Is Remnant 2 cross-platform?

Unfortunately, Remnant 2 does not have cross-platform play between PS5, Xbox Series X or PC -- and there's no word about it being added in the future.
