Eric Bauza, Toronto-born voice of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, dies at 46

Eric Bauza, the Toronto-born voice actor who breathed fresh life into some of Hollywood's most iconic animated characters, died on Sunday at age 46. His family said on social media his death was sudden and the Los Angeles Medical Examiner listed the cause as heart disease. Bauza, who was born and raised in Scarborough, got his start as an animator before moving to the recording booth and becoming a modern successor to Mel Blanc -- the original voice of numerous Looney Tunes cartoons, including Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. "Looney Tunes will always have a special place in my heart,” Bauza said earlier this year. “I watched them on Saturday mornings originally. It's not just the voice but the overall esthetic has influenced me as an artist.” In 2018, Bauza -- who was Filipino-Canadian -- became the first non-white actor to voice Bugs Bunny.

Xbox Knows Its Games Are Getting Recompiled For PC, And It's Impacting Their Future

"We’ve seen games rapidly decompiled and rebuilt" Over the past few months (and particularly the past few weeks), it's become harder and harder to avoid hearing about "recomp" games from the history of Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo and other major game companies. In a nutshell, this is a technique where games are recompiled to run on hardware they were never intended for, and the rapid advancement of AI is the primary reason behind many of these new recomps. The main objective, it seems, is to convert older titles — think Xbox 360, PS3 era — and bring them to PC for the first time, although there have also been recomps for mobile devices like Android and iOS too.

Durham’s First Fringe Festival Platforms Local Artists Across Town

Halloween weekend is, of course, the perfect time to go out in search of the offbeat and unusual. This year, Durhamites won’t have to look very hard. October 30 marks the first day of the Durham FRINGE Festival, a 10-day festival that will feature 50 performing artists across a sprawling 25 venues, from downtown to Golden Belt and back. There will be dancers in the bars, musicians in the bookstores, and more than one flash mob. This inaugural festival is part of the Carolina Theatre’s year of celebrations, marking 100 years since the venue opened in 1926. There was a moment when the theater almost didn’t make it past 50: In the late 1970s, the theater closed and was nearly demolished, and it is only thanks to volunteers that it remained open and, in the early ’90s, was established as a nonprofit. Theater President and CEO Randy McKay takes this history to heart. Centennial celebrations…
