Stepping into Leroy's Place is like stepping through a portal into a whimsical monster world, right in the middle of the Historic French Quarter. A 10 foot tall, hot pink, puppet cat (named Casual Carl) greets you as you walk inside under huge fabric trees. And the surprises don't stop there!

The colorful collection of art is pun-filled, nostalgic, and monster-forward. Highlights include a needle felted ghost holding a "Ghost" VHS tape (Rachel Eaton), a colorful sculpture of a "Blub" with an eyeball and a butt (Quinn Curtin), and a gorgeous knit artwork of a pineapple with muscles ( "Pineapple Hunk" by Kate Jenkins) .

The forced perspective installation, "Ghost TOURtellini" by Jacques Duffourc is an masterful transformation of cardboard, and is worth a visit in itself. And did we mention the trees can talk ?!

The rotating collection of handmade art and gifts range in price from funky souvenirs to art for your walls, so there is truly something for everyone in this delightfully quirky store. It feels like a toy store for grown-ups !

When AMC 's The Walking Dead was at its peak, the series could do no wrong. As has been discussed so many times, the show seemed to fall off a cliff thanks to too many character deaths and survivors who did nothing but mope around. Still, the universe The Walking Dead created was popular enough to lead to several spin-offs, the most intriguing of which was The Walking Dead: Dead City . Unlike others, which paired characters who loved each other, The Walking Dead: Dead City forces bitter enemies Maggie ( Lauren Cohan ) and Negan ( Jeffrey Dean Morgan ) to become reluctant allies. After a pretty good first season, Season 2 was more disappointing , but not only is the third time around vastly better , it's the best season of any Walking Dead spin-off .

Summit Therapeutics released updated survival data from its Phase 3 HARMONi trial testing the drug ivonescimab in a form of non-small cell lung cancer. The FDA is set to make an approval decision on the drug in the disease by Nov. 14.

A World of Warcraft game master has been accused of helping a Twitch streamer's Mythic group cheat a high-level dungeon by using their GM powers to insta-kill an enemy, and Blizzard says it's actively investigating the situation as evidence piles up.

This began with a July 21 Reddit post from user Acrobatic_Pianist688, who claimed to have seen a "Blizzard GM death touching mobs in M+23 for their favorite streamer." Of course, we don't actually know if anyone's "favorite" streamer was involved, but Acrobatic_Pianist did link to a Warcraft Log record showing an abrupt end to a Mythic+23 fight in the Nexus-Point Xenas dungeon, caused by an "instakill" and "Area Death (TEST)" effect from user Daijosai, believed to be the GM in question.

Game masters are Blizzard employees with World of Warcraft privileges and permissions that enable them to resolve in-game disputes and support requests.

The incident caught fire online, and chatter only intensified after this Warcraft log was highlighted in a stream from WoW content creator yumytv during a conversation with Yiesus , a small Twitch streamer and one of the apparent teammates in this dungeon run, who's described by yumy as "witness testimony."

The moment was clipped and shared, the Twitch chat filled with accusations of "cheater," after Yiesus openly said, "I go to my GM friend, I'm like, bro, please can you do me a solid? This thing has 20 mil bro, can you please just one-shot? One time for the one time. I meant no harm from it. If Blizzard wants to revoke that key or revoke my title, whatever they see fit, I don't care. Personally, I think it was harmless. I didn't expect him to do it. In hindsight he shouldn't have done it. He was just doing me a solid."

One of the other streamers in this dungeon run, YaraByte , shared the same clip on her Twitter.

This mess quickly reached the official Blizzard forums , with players calling for the GM to be punished and the clear to be revoked, prompting a response from Blizzard. Late Tuesday night, community manager Randy 'Kaivax' Jordan replied, both in the forum thread and to the original Reddit post .

"Thank you to those who flagged this," Jordan says. "We are reviewing and will take action as appropriate. A fair and competitive playing field is essential to our games, and we won’t tolerate cheating."

Blizzard continues taking action against World of Warcraft private servers as it pushes on with a lawsuit citing "large-scale, egregious, and ongoing infringement" of its MMO.
