Benedict Cumberbatch Proves to Talk Show Host Graham Norton that He Can Correctly Pronounce the Word ‘Penguin’

by Lori Dorn

“Now I’m completely terrified of the word.”

After it was made widely known that he repeatedly pronounced the word “penguin” incorrectly in a BBC documentary, actor Benedict Cumberbatch took to The Graham Norton Show and proved to the talk show host (and the rest of the world) that he can indeed pronounce the word quite correctly. Benedict also performed a mean impression of the oft-mocked Star Wars character Jar Jar Binks an demonstrated his scary Smaug voice to fellow guest Miranda Hart.

Lluvia y vendavales causaron inundaciones en 20 barrios de Ibagué

Los problemas surgieron por inundaciones ocasionadas, principalmente, por el taponamiento de los sistemas de alcantarillado. También hubo caída de árboles en calles principales.

"Tuvimos lluvias muy fuertes en la tarde y parte de la noche del lunes, que generaron infinidad de emergencias", afirmó Rafael Rico, comandante del Cuerpo de Bomberos de Ibagué y agregó que las afectaciones son de tipo material.

Los barrios más afectados son: Arkaniza, Boquerón, La Florida, La Gaviota, Niza Norte, Jazmín, así como las avenidas Ambalá y Ferrocarril, donde el tráfico de vehículos fue suspendido durante horas.

En la vía Ibagué-Cajamarca un deslizamiento taponó la vía y a esta hora el paso es restringido a un carril.

Los aguaceros también llegaron con vendavales a los municipios de Palocabildo, Villa Hermosa, Líbano y Fresno. En esas zonas los vientos dejaron sin techo 80 viviendas campesinas.

Amazon-owned LOVEFiLM has stopped offering video game rentals to new subscribers in the UK

LOVEFiLM, the disc-based rental company and on-demand streaming service owned by Amazon, has removed the option for new subscribers to rent video games.

The change was spotted by Polygon (via GameBrit) and later confirmed by in a statement from LOVEFiLM: “LOVEFiLM confirms games rental will no longer be available to new customers signing up to its service in the UK, with effect w/c 24th June.”

LOVEFiLM offers users both a mail-order setup for receiving films, TV shows and video games in the post, as well as an on-demand streaming service called LOVEFiLM Instant, which competes with Netflix in the UK, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Some packages combine both of these services, however, ensuring that subscribers always have access to the latest releases.

On-demand streaming is seen as the future of the industry, given that users can access potentially any content instantaneously. Video games have yet to make the jump, however. Although digital copies are commonplace in the video game industry, numerous concerns over widespread piracy has stopped the emergence of a digital rental model.

Video games are often more expensive than DVDs and Blu-rays, so the postal service offered by LOVEFiLM was a tantalizing option for so-called ‘hardcore’ gamers that like to blast through all of the latest releases in quick succession.

The statement sent by LOVEFiLM confirms that the abolition of video game rentals is already in effect, albeit for new subscribers only. A quick check on the company’s website corroborates the change, given that all references to video games are now removed from the package descriptions.

Existing users that are still paying for video games can, presumably, still rent them as before. When users log-in they can still browse the game section and pick out titles such as The Last of Us, Deadpool and Remember Me. These are all new releases, so it seems that LOVEFiLM isn’t abandoning the concept entirely just yet.

The firm recently made it compulsory for users to switch their login details over to the Amazon credentials, bringing the two brands closer than ever before. It follows a new content deal with CBS Studios International, as well as the addition of The Walking Dead, Vikings and Disney flicks for LOVEFiLM Instant.
