Fallout 76’s newest major update is Steel Dawn, which will reintroduce Fallout’s most iconic—or at least most recurring—faction, the Brotherhood of Steel. The Brotherhood did appear in base game Fallout 76, but like everyone in Appalachia before the Wastelanders DLC, they were dead. While the Brotherhood is definitely one of the more recognizable Fallout factions, Fallout 76 should have used the reintroduction of NPCs to the formerly empty wasteland to bring back the most compelling aspect of the original game’s worldbuilding: the conflict between the Appalachia labor movement and the mining companies....

The Academy Award-nominated song “The Bare Necessities” has been one of the most enduring Disney tunes ever since it debuted in 1967’s The Jungle Book. Now, Radio Times readers have named it as the most uplifting song in Disney’s library of tunes. The survey, which polled over 11,000 fans, asked readers to vote for the top three songs from the Disney+ film catalog that made them happiest. The classic Jungle Book tune took the top spot with 40% of the vote followed by Randy Newman’s “You’ve Got A Friend In Me” from Pixar’s Toy Story and “Hakuna Matata” from Disney’s The Lion King, both of which earned 29% of the vote from readers....

Following the Wizarding World Universe canon seems to be a complicated thing, especially when the author of said universe is constantly changing it. The last film Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald seemed to throw out everything audiences knew about the history of the Harry Potter universe and created a mess as a result. Though there are still a lot of canonical problems, The Secrets of Dumbledore does try to right some wrongs by finally answering questions lingering for fans—including about Credence’s (Eza Miller) family history, Queenie’s (Alison Sudol) sudden heel turn, and who is Jessica Williams’ character we randomly saw instructing the immortal wizard Nicolas Flamel in the last movie?...

For the past two weeks, Destiny players have been filling out their new record books, tackling newly remastered raids, and partaking in new quests to earn special loot in the Age of Triumph update. While this latest and last update provided a lot more things for players to do, it also appears to have stealthily changed the way some items stack as well. Over on Reddit, word has started to spread that the new Age of Triumph ornaments in Destiny can no longer be placed in a stack past ten in total....

It doesn’t take an expert to state that Cyberpunk 2077 is the biggest gaming release of 2020, and fans can’t wait to get their hands on this absolute gem of a game. While there have been two high-profile delays for the game, the hype train has shown absolutely no signs of dying off anytime soon. That being said, there are still people who simply can’t wait to get a whiff of what this game can bring to the table....

If you happen to have your old save files from Diablo 2, the upcoming Diablo 2: Resurrected will let you continue playing with your decades-old character. That’s right – Resurrected will let you jump right back in where you left off way back in 2000. In a recent interview, producer Matthew Cederquist revealed the shocking news. “Back when we were working on [the remaster], we wondered if the old save files would work, so we kind of shoved it in, and it worked!...

In their final quarterly update for 2020, Blizzard has revealed that stats will play a far more important role in Diablo 4 than in previous games, and the current explanation in the Alpha build reminds us a little bit of how Grim Dawn manages the same concept. According to Blizzard, recent feedback on the extended progression and playtesting of the Alpha build has revealed an unwanted and unintended overreliance on gear to supply character power....

A die cast replica of the basic Poke Ball from Pokemon is being made by The Wand Company and it will be released on Pokemon Day (February 27) in 2021, with replicas based on Great, Premier, and Ultra Balls to follow. The design of the Poke Balls in the Pokemon franchise is nothing short of genius, in both their simplicity and how instantly recognizable they are. As such, there have been a number of Poke Ball toys released over the years, many of which have contained Pokemon figures....

While some have criticized those involved in the production of The Last of Us 2, it’s hard to deny the wholesomeness of a recent moment shared on YouTube. When Cascina Caradonna, the face model for the character Dina in the game, came across her likeness in the opening of the story, she became very emotional in front of her viewers. Several characters in The Last of Us 2 have received a not so positive reaction from the fanbase, which expanded out to impact those involved with their creation....

Others have zero redeeming qualities at all, giving the player a healthy challenge when attempting to survive. Those survivors are mostly disliked for their difficulty, but once you become a pro at Don’t Starve Together, they may become your favorite characters to play. Whether you know how to work the game to your favor enough to play difficult characters or not, some just rise above the others with shining colors....

Nintendo just added a bit to the value proposition of the Nintendo Switch Online subscription service. Multiple Super Nintendo and Nintendo Entertainment System games are headed to the Switch, including Donkey Kong Country 2. After the original Donkey Kong Country was added to Switch Online a couple of months ago, Nintendo has revealed that the sequel is on the way as well. In a tweet from Nintendo of America today, the Big N let fans know that four games from the SNES and NES are being added to Nintendo Switch Online, some being as beloved as Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest, and others being slightly less known like S....

The histories of Duke Nukem and Doom are pretty closely intertwined. After Id Software kicked off the first-person shooter renaissance with both Doom and Wolfenstein 3D, 3D Realms wanted to make a raunchier riff on that formula. In doing so, they happened to make one of the most revolutionary FPS titles of its era. With its proprietary Build engine, Duke Nukem 3D blew the doors wide open in terms of what shooters were capable of....

Twitch’s ban of Dr. Disrespect quite some time ago was a jaw-dropping development. The world of streaming had already been undergoing a major shift in the closure of Mixer, and suddenly, the self-described “face of Twitch” was gone. The days and weeks after were likely as torturous for him as it was his fanbase, especially after rumors online became increasingly malicious. These rumors included, but are not limited to, the Doc working on creating his on streaming service with Ninja and Shroud, the Doc committing fraud of some level, and/or the Doc doing something directly illegal, especially due to its proximity to several sexual assault and harassment claims made on Twitch....

In December 2010, Trendy Entertainment and Reverb Communications released Dungeon Defenders as a downloadable mobile game on iOS and Android. The following October, it released in the format we know it as for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, maintaining its success all the way through. While selling several hundred thousand units in its first two years, it wasn’t until a few months ago when Dungeon Defenders joined the epic Humble Indie Bundle 7 pack, the second most successful numbered bundle from the organization to date with 395,940 contributors, did we enter the colorful and vibrant fray....

Before Dragon Age 3 was officially announced last year a leaked survey revealed key character and plot details from the game. The information originated from a leaked survey from BioWare and Electronic Arts that aimed to gather information from the fanbase to help towards improving the followup to the disappointing Dragon Age 2. Although denying it at first, BioWare attempted to have us take down the info, confirming it in fact from their survey, and it wasn’t long before they unveiled the game....

In older Souls games, Quality weapons are the pinnacle of maximizing physical damage. It allowed players to tap leverage both Strength and Dexterity in order to hit hard and fast. In turn, weapons that inherently cater to Quality builds are versatile and powerful. Thankfully, Elden Ring continued this tradition for Quality builds and weapons. They started out rather poorly back near Elden Ring’s release date, but the numerous patches and updates have made them viable once again....

Epic Games has confirmed that the Driftboard is finally coming to Fortnite, two months after the vehicle was first promised. Do you remember a time not so long ago when we had to travel around Fortnite Island on foot? It seems almost unthinkable now considering the number of vehicles we have to choose from. Quadcrashers, Stormwings, even ziplines that we can use to get around the game much more quickly....

Players trying to complete the challenges that involve collecting Floating Rings in Fortnite have been coming up short when they discover the rings aren’t there. Every week, Epic adds brand new challenges to Fortnite. From week one, Fortnite’s challenges can be indicators of what to expect during the season ahead. The week one challenge that requires players to use a Whirlpool this season, for example. That reveals that even though the waters soaking Fortnite have begun to subside, they will remain at a level where Whirlpools are present until the end of the season, at least....
