Twitch streamer Kaitlyn Siragusa, more commonly known as Amouranth, was recently banned for reasons unknown. It appears that it was due to something that happened last week during a gym IRL stream, but exact details have not been confirmed at this time. Speculation suggests that there could have been some accidental slip that violated Twitch’s terms of services, as similar incidents have occurred in the past. Amouranth successfully repealed the ban, regardless, which would have likely been for 3 days....

Thanks to E3 2013, we’ve recently seen trailers for a lot of exciting new sequels from Ubisoft, including the latest in its yearly staple, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, and the co-operative stealth gameplay of Splinter Cell: Blacklist. The publisher’s E3 showing went over well with the masses, since the company has a decent track record with sequels, and quite a few of their series have actually become better with each new installment....

This Utopia review contains spoilers. In a week where food contamination has been the topic on everyone’s slightly nauseated lips, Utopia is looking horribly prescient. Luckily for us, the unwelcome guest in our food chain is just a few rogue hooves and manes, not a protein that, when combined with its evil twin, provokes a permanent and hereditary genetic mutation that sterilises ninety per cent of mankind. Good luck spinning that one, Jeremy Hunt....

Surtling Cores are one of the most mysterious crafting components in the early stages of the game. These glowing cubes are an essential material for moving into the Bronze Age of Valheim where you can start to craft weapons with serious damage potential. Getting your hands on Surtling Cores is no simple task, and you’ll need to be prepared with some upgraded tools before you even attempt to find these rare objects....

If you’re going to make a multiplayer shooter, it’s important to make sure that bullets actually hurt enemies when they hit them. That sounds simple, but the 0.5 update for VALORANT seems to have botched that one little detail. Reports are coming in from players all over the internet that hits aren’t registering properly, even when it’s clear that bullets, arrows, and other projectiles are hitting their targets. The reports aren’t just from salty players pretending that their failures are the result of bad programming....

The original design of Killjoy, Valorant’s newest agent, was completely different from what players know her as. She went from a robot with Brimstone’s ultimate to a hipster German engineer. Open up ze sky? Dot Esports recently interviewed Valorant character producer John Goscicki about the recently released character Killjoy. “Well, she used to be a robot,” Goscicki said. “We went through a ton of different iterations for her – different versions of the turret, different supportive bots, etc....

Following a string of rumors, the Vancouver Titans announced they have parted ways with Hyeon-Woo “JJANU” Choi - their off-tank and 2019 Overwatch League MVP finalist. This is just the first of presumably many announcements the Vancouver Titans will make over the course of who knows how long. JJANU was a massive part of Vancouver’s record breaking inaugural 2019 season. His stellar D.Va play throughout really enabled the Titans’ main-tank Bumper to play his ultra-aggressive style that pushed the tone of fights in ways very few teams can even match....

Warning: contains Vigil Episode 5 spoilers. What’s worse – drowning in your own sweat in a drysuit, or drowning in seawater in a torpedo tube? DCI Silva’s in the rare position of being about to find out, having survived the first scenario only to land herself straight in the second. If she gets out of this one, oh, the pub stories she’ll have to tell! Not that you can imagine Silva holding court on a bar stool, one licked finger in the crumbs of a packet of Cheddar and Onion McCoys, the other demonstrating how close she came to inhaling a nerve agent from a booby-trapped catering-sized tin of grapefruit segments....

Fast & Furious star Vin Diesel appears to be putting his crew-assembling skills to good use, with the news that the team behind 2004’s Escape from Butcher Bay title have reunited. Founded by the gravelly-throated thesp way back in 2002, developer Tigon hit the ground running with their first Chronicles of Riddick adventure, before returning to the series some three years later. That second stab at success, dubbed Assault on Dark Athena, opted to reheat the original Butcher Bay experience for the next-gen, and met with similarly strong reviews....

This week in WandaVision, Wanda finally got her comic book moniker, six years after she made her first appearance. It’s fitting that the first time she is called Scarlet Witch on screen is also the first time we hear about Chaos magic. But what is Chaos magic? We’ve seen lots of different types of magic used in the MCU before, many times with chaotic consequences, but none of it has been Chaos magic....

Enter this contest to win your very own special greeting from Captain Price. Or at least, Captain Price’s’ voice actor. Captain Price is set to arrive in Season 4 of Call of Duty: Warzone and Activision is looking to generate some hype. What better way to do that than to give away cameo messages from Captain Price voice actor, Barry Sloane? To help promote the upcoming release of Season 4 and the arrival of Captain Price as a new operator, Activision is hosting a giveaway in collaboration with Cameo, the site where you can get messages from celebs (usually for a fee)....

This is it, landlubbers. The much-anticipated Sea of Thieves is so close that we can almost smell the briny ocean, and you know what that means: it’s time for a launch trailer. As Xbox fans will know, the system hasn’t had the greatest run of exclusives since its launch in November 2013. The usual big Microsoft names, such as Halo 5: Guardians, Forza Motorsport 7, and Gears of War 4 have made an appearance, but killer apps have been few and far between....

Though it was formed in the ’90s, Weezer has remained popular throughout the decades. In the past couple of years, its recorded a cover of Africa, the internet’s favorite song, and even got Stranger Things’ Finn Wolfhard to perform in a music video. Now, Weezer has decided to launch its own video game called The End of the Game Game, named after the band’s recent single from their upcoming album “Van Weezer....

Twitch streamer Félix “xQc” Lengyel had his livestream of Welcome To The Game II hacked into and manipulated by one of the game’s developers. The developer occasionally streams under the name IndieHorrorDev. xQc was in the middle of a standard play session of the game on Twitch when music started randomly playing in-game. The sound of “Dr. Disrespect – Gillette (The Best A Man Can Get)” by 199X filled the stream, and xQc was startled by it suddenly popping up in the middle of his playthrough....

This The Orville review contains spoilers. The Orville Season 2 Episode 8 Last week The Orville left us with a cliffhanger. It turns out one of the most beloved members of the crew has had an alternative motive that may prove to lead to the demise of the human race. The episode begins with Dr. Finn’s kids playing what appears to be a futuristic version of chess with Isaac. When Dr....

The Dragon Age games have changed their player protagonist with every new chapter. After the return of Hawke in Dragon Age: Inquisition, however, BioWare has set a precedent for old player characters returning as NPCs by Dragon Age 4. There are pros and cons to the Inquisitor, the player character from Dragon Age: Inquisition, returning for Dragon Age 4. While there are some inherent risks with the possibility, which is by no means confirmed, there’s a few reasons why the Inquisitor could still remain important to the plot of the next game....

In the Western pop culture canon, there’s a loathsome character archetype that could best be described as a “little shit.” Sniveling mama’s boy and inbred King of Westeros Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson) on Game of Thrones is undoubtedly the most recent popular example. The archetype, however, goes even further back with Biff Tannen, Draco Malfoy, and Johnny Lawrence (pre-Cobra Kai) all making audiences’ skin crawl with their spoiled, privileged brand of banal evil....

The love triangle between Geralt, Triss, and Yennefer is definitely one of the highlights of The Witcher 3. What could’ve been nothing more than just your run-of-the-mill video game romance turned into a masterpiece of character writing, with both Triss and Yennefer being so lovable in their own way that the player would find themselves genuinely stuck between a rock and a hard place as they had to choose between these two beautiful sorceresses....

What makes Geralt one of the most interesting video game characters ever is his wealth of experience. Being nearly a century old by the time The Witcher III: Wild Hunt happens helps tremendously with who he is. Yet, the game developers never fail to add more growth and adventures to Geralt. Just when he and the players thought they’d seen all The Witcher 3 has to offer, out came the DLCs, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine....
