This week, the long-awaited Fallout: London mod finally arrived. This is beautiful! Less cool is the Cybertruck that appears in Fortnite. Also, a Call of Duty game has finally arrived on Game Pass, some time after Microsoft completed its acquisition of Activision Blizzard, but the series-specific entry that’s kicking things off isn’t exactly a fan favorite. All these stories and more await in the following pages.
Surprise, Fallout fans are basically getting an entirely new game tomorrow
If you’ve been waiting for the ambitious Fallout: London model to come out, then I have good news for you – it’s coming out tomorrow. The mode, which tells a completely original story set across the pond, has been in development since 2019 and has had many ups and downs. Thankfully, the wait to see what the developers at Team FOLON have come up with is almost over. – Willa Rowe Read more
Game Pass will finally get its first Call of Duty later this week
It appears that finally, almost a year after completing its acquisition of Activision, Microsoft is adding a previously released Call of Duty game — 2023’s Modern Warfare III — to its Netflix-like subscription service. And you won’t have to wait long. – Zack Zwiezen Read more
Sony is testing three neat new features on the PS5 after the latest update
As the PlayStation 5 approaches its fourth anniversary, the platform team at Sony is continuing to create small new improvements to help gamers get the most out of the console. The last set of changes we’ll be testing soon are pretty special, but still pretty cool. – Ethan Gach Read more
President Trump’s Vice President links Dew and racism in front of confused crowd
President Donald Trump’s former running mate JD Vance is campaigning to show he’s not a boring weirdo with zero charisma. It’s not going well.
Last week, Donald Trump announced that he had selected Ohio Senator JD Vance as his running mate. Vance is famous for being terrible, but also for writing a best-selling memoir – Hillbilly Elegy – which was turned into a forgotten Netflix movie starring Amy Adams and Glenn Close. Oh, and he once called Trump a “moral disaster” and possibly “America’s Hitler.” And apparently, Trump now regrets picking the boring guy after the recent announcement that Joe Biden is dropping out of the 2024 race and Kamala is likely to replace him on the ticket. – Zack Zwiezen Read more
The Sims 4 Update Breaks Free Game, But At Least You Can Build Phallic Pools
EA is very good at continually adding player-requested content to The Sims 4 with free updates to the base game. Unfortunately, EA is also very good at breaking The Sims 4 with those updates, as evidenced by the latest debacle. – Alyssa Mercante Read more
PS5’s most overlooked game Samurai gets a free demo
Team Ninja’s ambitious (and slightly clunky) open-world RPG Rise of the Ronin now has a free demo on PS5, so there’s no reason not to check it out. – Zack Zwiezen Read more
A new single crate has created a stir in Counter-Strike 2
How much chaos can a box cause? When that box is added to a decades-old Counter-Strike map without warning, a lot of chaos results.
For those out of the loop, in 2023 Valve updated Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and changed so many things that they renamed the game as Counter-Strike 2. But a lot of what people love about CSGO is still available in CS2, including one of the franchise’s most popular maps: Dust2. However, a new update for CS2 has slightly changed a stack of crates near the A-bomb. And the reaction has been wild to watch. – Zack Zwiezen Read more
No, Southwest Airlines is not running Windows 3.1 in 2024
Last week, a good part of the digital world was shut down due to an update that caused Microsoft’s Windows operating system to crash and a blue screen to appear on millions of devices. This affected places like hospitals, schools and airports. But one airline, unlike the others, was spared the chaos. And many say it’s because it’s still using an ancient operating system, but it’s not. – Zack Zwiezen Read more
EA College Football is a perfect storm of confusion for Xbox fans
Last week, EA College Football 25 launched and people went crazy, with the game already shaping up to be one of the biggest titles of 2024. But some fans on Xbox, perhaps not as familiar with video games, are frustrated after buying new college football simulator and finding out it doesn’t play on their console. Let us explain. – Zack Zwiezen Read more
This might be one of the worst things Fortnite has ever done
Fortnite’s next crossover isn’t with a cool new movie or a beloved comic book franchise. No, instead Epic is adding Tesla’s stupid and ugly Cybertruck to the F2P game in a move that might be one of the worst and worst things yet. – Zack Zwiezen Read more
