If Katy Perry‘s “Firework” is your go-to karaoke song, you may want to pay attention to this article. As it turns out, loads of fans have been singing the lyrics wrong since the tune was first released in 2010. As Katy explains during the March 6 episode of “American Idol,” the words that follow “Make ’em go” are not “Up, Up, Up” or “Uh, Uh, Uh.”
Instead — are you ready for this? — the lyrics are “Awe, Awe, Awe.” That actually … makes sense!

Werner Herzog says in his new film “Fireball: Visitors From Darker Worlds” that to be a scientist you need a sense of wonder. That’s a quality that’s been true of just about all of Herzog’s documentaries, and in researching the science of meteorites with Clive Oppenheimer, he aimed to capture the beauty that scientists feel when exploring the unknown.
“Fireball” melds the science and mathematics of meteorites and asteroids with the culture, religion and mythologies that have grown over millennia out of this fascination with these ancient objects from outer space. And by teaming up with Oppenheimer as they did on “Encounters at the End of the World,” Herzog asks bigger, more spiritual questions than just wondering where space rocks came from.
“Clive never has a boring moment in him, and it was very visual, very beautiful, but I knew it had to do with science, but with the awe of discovery,...

In a recent blog post, Remedy hinted that their next project could help further the idea of a shared universe in their video games.
“For over 10 years, we’ve had a crazy dream,” says Sam Lake, Remedy’s creative director. “The idea that the tales told in some of our games would be connected to each other, a connected world of stories and events with shared characters and lore. Each game is a stand-alone experience, but each game is also a doorway into a larger universe with exciting opportunities for crossover events.”
Obviously, that statement could be interpreted as a bit of promotion for Control‘s upcoming Awe expansion which features Alan Wake. However, Lake goes on to suggest that expansion is really just the beginning of the studio’s more ambitious plans.
“What took place in 2010 in Alan Wake is one of the cases that the Federal Bureau of Control has been investigating,...

It appears that Alan Wake will finally return in Control‘s upcoming Dlc expansion, Awe.
A new trailer for Awe is light on details, but it opens with the sound of typewriter followed by Alan Wake’s voice warning us to “stay in the light.” After a few cinematic flashes of some mostly industrial settings, we’re treated to a few snippets of gameplay from the upcoming Dlc.
While Alan Wake does not appear as a playable character during those gameplay segments, we do catch a brief glimpse of him during the trailer’s closing moments. Interestingly, he’s shown in black and white during that closing and in the logo for Awe. This may just be a stylistic choice, but given the nature of Control‘s inter-dimensional story, that black and white motif may be telling us more than you might initially think.
