In the most recent summer Nintendo Direct (where the video game maker releases info on their major holiday season titles), one of the biggest announcements was for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom - the first time in the (actual) franchise's history where the title character is also the protagonist.

Slated to release on the Switch on September 26th, the title looks to be using the Link's Awakening remake engine, and has the titular princess take up the mantle of saving Hyrule after series protagonist Link falls in battle. As such, she will wield a new weapon to the series - the Tri Rod, which will have an "echoing" mechanic to allow Zelda to both fight and solve puzzles.

On Thursday, conspiracy monger, supplement peddler, defamation artist, and abuser Alex Jones moved to convert his bankruptcy proceedings to Chapter 7, allowing for the liquidation of his personal assets to pay off the over $1.5B he owes in legal decisions to the families of Sandy Hook victims he defamed and whose lives he upended - including his personal holdings in his conspiracy theory empire, InfoWars.

In doing so, Jones' lawyers noted that there was "no reasonable prospect for a successful reorganization" under Chapter 11,and that proceeding would only serve to incur further costs for Jones. A week prior, Jones was given the green light to liquidate his $2.8M Texas ranch to pay his various debts. InfoWars as a whole is owned by the shell company Free Speech Systems, and as such the impact of Jones entering into Chapter 7 on FSS' own bankruptcy is to be seen, especially given that FSS has been under the oversight of an independent restructuring officer, with a hearing next week to determine the company's fate. Alex Jones' legal travails previously, previously, more previously, even more previously.
