In the past few days, Twitch streamers have noticed an incredible influx of subscribers, which should be good for the platform and the content creators. However, something fishy seems to be afoot and no one can really nail down what exactly is happening. As best anyone can tell, Twitch streamers are getting new subscriptions from users that are not in their active chat and just recently created an account. It might seem innocuous enough, but there definitely is something off about the accounts and the subscriptions....

Will Twitch’s army of Prime members be enough to save Rocket Arena from an explosive grave?

Valheim isn’t supposed to be a horror game, though sometimes the bosses maybe a little frightening. However, the game’s Early Access state means things don’t always go as planned, and sometimes bugs may result in accidental horror.

German genius Killjoy will be temporarily unavailable in VALORANT games until a particularly game-breaking Turret exploit is fixed, Riot Games announced yesterday. The Turret is one of Killjoy’s unique abilities, allowing her to stop any flanking enemies in their tracks, and deal some damage as well. Certain areas allow the Turret to be placed under the map, giving any Killjoy an unfair advantage over her opponents. Riot announced the update last night on Twitter, joking that the Turret exploit was “Killjoy’s newest ability....

Although Hugh Jackman ended up becoming the definitive on-screen incarnation of Wolverine, it’s no secret that he wasn’t the first choice of X-Men producers. Russell Crowe was the top choice and Dougray Scott was initially cast before dropping out due to his commitments to Mission: Impossible 2.

When Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman premiered in 2017, it did so to substantial acclaim, and fans adored it. It also arrived to considerable fanfare, being the first superhero film in over ten years to be led by a woman. The Hollywood Reporter noted that, at the time, it felt like a big deal, but it shouldn’t have.
