Popular online live-streaming service Twitch has been blocked in mainland China following a surge of popularity within the country. Chinese government censors first blocked access to Twitch’s website earlier this week, followed by removing the Twitch app from the Apple App Store not long thereafter. While no official comments have been provided by Chinese authorities, Twitch has been able to officially confirm that its services are no longer available within the region....

Colin Kaepernick is back. Not quite in the NFL, but the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback turned activist has returned to Madden for the first time in four years. Referring to Kaepernick as “one of the top free agents in football and a starting-caliber quarterback,” EA Sports announced his arrival in Madden NFL 21, the officially licensed NFL game, on social media. The quarterback’s 2016 decision to kneel during pregame performances of the national anthem, in protest of racial injustice in the United States, effectively blackballed him from the league....

Many people discovering how amazing the cool attribute is are mostly role-players in Cyberpunk 2077. Several of the exciting dialogue options require cool points in order to give a suave response. So with these points, players figured that they might as well be curious and dig into a few of the skill points. And what a treasure chest of possibilities they discovered! Players mistakenly believe that the cool tree was tacked on after all other major skills that used staples like the submachine gun or hacking tool were all used up....

Around a month ago, fans got their first look at a Cyberpunk 2077-themed Xbox One X after a bundle leaked online. Later, fans were treated with their first official look at the console and were blown away by the design. Now, Xbox has released a brand new video focusing on the limited edition console, this time going into pretty major depth, how it settled on each design choice, and more....

Daisy Ridley has addressed the rumors surrounding her potential inclusion in a future Spider-Woman movie. One of the biggest parts any actor can land in cinema today is a role in the MCU. It feels as if just about everyone has become a part of it at this point, but there are still so many who remain out in the cold. Lucky for those actors, or at least the ones who want to be a part of it, there are plenty more upcoming roles in the MCU left to fill, including some that haven’t even been confirmed to exist....

This article contains Babylon spoilers. Despite the lurid imagery associated with Babylon, Damien Chazelle’s three-hour bacchanal of a movie about Golden Age Hollywood, it wasn’t wretched excess or decadence which first caught Chazelle’s imagination. Nor was it the glamor and gaudiness associated with a new (read: low) art form in those heady days when the silent era gave way to the earliest sound films. Rather the inciting idea for Babylon is borne from a simple yet disturbing bit of trivia on the mortality rate in Los Angeles—and how the number of deaths seemingly caused by suicide rose precipitously during the late 1920s and early ‘30s....

Over the years the Dark Souls 3 fandom has proven to be one of the strongest gaming communities around. Despite five years having passed since the game’s release, and the single-player focus of the game, the Dark Souls 3 online community is still incredibly active. While Dark Souls fans were clamoring for Dark Souls 4 at The Game Awards 2017, FromSoftware instead decided to drop Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, a Soulslike game which has received critical acclaim in its own right....

It takes a special breed of gamer to play Dark Souls. The kind of gamer that played through all of the original Contra without using a single continue. The kind of gamer that played Snake to the point where the entire screen was completely full. The kind of gamer that played Faster Than Light, and won. In other words, Dark Souls gamers are masochists of the highest order; they derive the most pleasure from games that put them in the most pain....

Bungie’s Twitter account reveals that Guardians will have their hands full this holiday season, as Destiny’s Iron Banner event is set to return in just a couple of weeks time. According to the announcement, Iron Banner will be made available to players once again after the conclusion of the Sparrow Racing League, which will presumably end before December 29, the official return date for Destiny’s popular PvP event. The rest of the tweet was suspiciously ambiguous, simply hyping up the return of Lord Saladin while stating that anything regarding gear announcements was going to come later....

With each passing week, Destiny 2 players must tackle a different Ascendant Challenge in the Dreaming City to earn some powerful rewards. While the game has cycled around to the older Challenges now, players can now focus on finding the collectibles in each of these Ascendant Realms. This week’s Ascendant Challenge is the same as the second week’s, located in the Garden of Esila, and here is where players can find the hidden lore collectible and the Taken Eggs....

The Cosmodrome is returning in Beyond Light, Destiny 2’s upcoming expansion. But if you’re a New Light player, you might not know what the Cosmodrome is. Allow us to illuminate. Every Destiny 2 player that has played the game since the release of Shadowkeep, last year’s big expansion, has already been to the Cosmodrome. Players that got into Destiny 2 but never played the original have also likely been to the Cosmodrome in a limited fashion, while Destiny 1 players will remember the Cosmodrome as not only the place where their journeys began but also a destination not at all dissimilar to the EDZ currently on Earth....

The Destiny 2 raid bosses are many things, such as challenging, powerful, and immense, but “sexy” might not be the first adjective that comes to a player’s mind when thinking about them. That said, the Destiny 2 community is filled with creative fans, and one of these artistic Guardians has taken it upon themselves to paint the massive Ahamkara, Riven of a Thousand Voices, in an entirely new, and sultry, light....

Even with Destiny 2: Beyond Light getting a two month delay, change looms on the horizon for the popular online shooter. In November, fans will be able to go hands on with all new content to further expand the game from a new story line, a new destination, as well as three new Darkness based subclasses. Naturally, the expansion and corresponding update will also introduce new changes to the game including a UI overhaul detailed in a previous weekly blog post....

It’s been a weird week for Twitter, and that’s putting it lightly. After the controversial banning of certain accounts, which garnered a ton of attention from the media, users seem to be a lot more conscious of what they’ve been putting on the site. While Twitter is now a massive social media platform on which nearly every major company has a presence, that wasn’t always the case. Back in the mid-to-late 2000s, standards for interaction on the platform had yet to be established....

There are plenty of reasons to be excited about a brand-new Resident Evil game, but Village has one pretty unique one- Lady Dimitrescu. For those who aren’t in the know, Lady Dimitrescu is one of the main antagonists of Resident Evil Village, and one that the internet has become pretty obsessed with since her reveal. Her tall stature, Wolverine-like claws and stylish hat have unanimously made us all love her, and it’s been a ton of fun seeing her influence....

The rumoured Castlevania: Advance Collection has been rated for PC again, this time coming from the Korean classification board. The listing was spotted and reported by Gematsu, who linked a listing on the Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea. The listing mentions “Castlevania: Advance Collection” and corroborates the Australian rating. The collection should comprise of the three Game Boy Advance games, Circle of the Moon, Harmony of Dissonance, and Aria of Sorrow....

Prepare your graphics card and get ready to ask, “Can it run Crysis?” for the first time in a long while.

The world of Cyberpunk 2077 is a true dystopian future where seedy and shady corporations basically control everything having more power than most of the world’s governments. While it may seem like the game’s universe were thought of by developer CD Projekt Red, it actually comes from the Cyberpunk tabletop game that established its own genre. The tabletop game, which is basically a sci-fi version of Dungeons and Dragons, would help lay down some of the plot and characters used in the plot of the video game....

Cyberpunk 2077 will feature more than 1,000 non-playable characters who all have their own daily lives, developer CD Projekt RED has revealed. Fans may get to see more of these NPCs in the Cyberpunk 2077 Night City Wire event which has now been delayed to the end of the month. German gaming site GameStar spoke to Cyberpunk 2077 senior level designer Miles Tost and senior quest designer Philipp Weber in a new series of podcasts....

Just last week, Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt RED provided an official update on its hotly anticipated game, confirming that development is progressing as planned. Though the development update didn’t come with any details about the game’s actual content. Luckily for Cyberpunk 2077 fans, gameplay details have now arrived thanks to some leaks. YouTube channel Madqueen Show cites The Triple S League (a source of previous leaks about the game), explaining that CD Projekt RED is working to implement a “social hub” in the game that will allow players to interact with one another....
