     Fortnite Rainbow Royale is on its way back

Fortnite Rainbow Royale will be upon us once again soon. Originally an event that went on during July last year, Epic told us back in June that we'd be seeing it return again, and judging by the Fortnite skybox, it looks as though it'll be very soon indeed, as the sky above the Fortnite map has been transformed into something stunning.

     The best Genshin Impact Dori build

So you want to know how to create the best Dori build in Genshin Impact? Genshin Impact 3.0 is here, but you'll have to wait a bit longer for the Dori banner release date, as she's joining the roster in phase to of the update. The new Electro user will be available as one of the four-star characters on the Ganyu banner and Kokomi banner reruns.

While it's still a touch early to be talking about the best Dori build, compared to a Tighnari build and Collei build, she's a little easier to theory-craft as she's primarily been positioned as a support and is an Electro character. Please note that some of this is still based off of information from Honey Hunter, which features datamined information from the 3.0 beta.

WoW Dragonflight is set to completely overhaul the existing talent system in Blizzard's long-tenured MMORPG. Rather than the pick-from-three system that's been in place since Mists of Pandaria, the new system replicates the more complex talent trees of old, but with a fresh lick of paint.

Harley Quinn as she appears in the new Batman sandbox RPG Gotham Knights has drawn some challenging responses from DC fans, who compare the design of the Joker's sometimes sidekick to the beloved Arkham series, and to the movies starring Margot Robbie, to argue that the new version from WB Montreal is "boring", "awful", and "Jokerised".

While we know that Tighnari and Collei are both wielders of the new Dendro element, Dori is more familiar as an Electro user.

     The best Valorant crosshairs and codes

So you want to know about Valorant crosshair codes? Many multiplayer games like to come up with ways for players to show allegiance to their favourite team. For example, Rainbow Six Siege has charms; Valorant has gun buddys, but it also has custom crosshairs.

With a complex-looking string of numbers, letters, and symbols, you can change your in-game sights to match players from your favourite esports teams such as DRX, Fnatic, or The Guard. This feature is relatively recent, with the official Valorant Twitter account posting about it with some initial Valorant crosshair codes in March 2022 - more codes have been shared across other platforms since.

We've collected codes for all of the big teams all in one place, so you don't have to go hunting around too much in order to equip your favourite Valorant characters with your chosen sight.

     Nvidia RTX 4070 – release date, price, specs, and benchmark rumours

The Nvidia RTX 4070 won't be the best graphics card in terms of specs, but if you're looking to balance price and performance, it could be a winning solution. Just like the GeForce RTX 3070, the green team's next-gen GPU should pair nicely with mid-range gaming PCs, and it might even transform your rig into a ray tracing powerhouse without costing as much as the RTX 4080.

The prospect of grabbing an Nvidia RTX 4070 on release may feel daunting, but component shortages that hampered the cost and availability of the current-gen RTX 3070 might finally be a thing of the past. However, Nvidia has reportedly invested $10 billion in securing RTX 4000 components to help tackle the stock scarcity situation, and ended up lumped with lots of chips it might not even need. The computing giant is also looking into refining its manufacturing processes, as the green team's next-gen GPUs will be fabricated by TSMC instead of Samsung.

If your rig is still rocking a GeForce GTX graphics card, or you've been waiting around for an RTX refresh, you're probably considering jumping straight to Nvidia's next-gen contender. To help you make your next gaming machine move, we've compiled everything we know about RTX 4070 release date rumours, potential specs, and what we think it'll benchmark at before the GPU arrives, with information courtesy of Moore's Law Is Dead and Digitimes.

     Nvidia RTX 4090 – release date, price, specs, and benchmark rumours

The Nvidia RTX 4090 - which might actually release as the RTX 5090 - looks to be a strong best graphics card contender, and it could shake up the gaming PC scene as we know it. While team green is still focussing on its GeForce RTX 3000 series, the prospect of playing the latest Steam games on a GPU twice as fast as the RTX 3090 is undeniably exciting.

If you're planning on picking up a next-gen GPU, you'll want to learn as much as you can about Nvidia's next flagship graphics card. Since we're a helpful bunch, we've been keeping our ear to the ground to pick up any RTX 4090 price speculation, release date rumours, and information we can gather about the potential specs.

Drumroll, please, for the latest interactive, live action, film archival puzzle from Sam Barlow, of Her Story and Telling Lies. This latest rumination on voyeurism also delves into storytelling, sex, death, religion, love, lust, lies, pretence (as distinct from acting), power and self. That's a lot to pack into the partial, out of order clips of three different films, which manage to span both decades and careers. The central figure is Marissa Marcel, an almost-star actor who made three movies before disappearing. So the question you strive to answer, by looking through unedited takes and rehearsal footage, is: what happened to Marissa Marcel?

In typical Barlow fashion, the entirety of the footage isn't easily spooled through. From one starting clip you're able to watch it, flick back and forth through the recording, and pause it to use the in-game search tool to focus on a face or object on screen. Selecting it will then take you to that face or a similar object in a different clip, and eventually you build up a much fuller catalogue of footage.

Now. Immortality also talks quite a bit about sex, in various ways and for various reasons, and there is female nudity. So yes, you can enhance! Zoom! on a tit. And the game will take you to another clip featuring a similar tit. Ba-dum, tsh!

kuonji alice mahoutsukai yoru

Type-Moon Games has released a new trailer for the upcoming Mahoutsukai no Yoru: Witch on the Holy Night game, focusing on Alice Kuonji. The trailer, at just over a minute long, plays Alice's voice over images and text from the game. There is also a descriptor for Alice, though it is in Japanese.

Alice is a natural-born witch and the daughter of Meinster. As a fan of Lewis Carroll's stories, Alice's magic uses a lot of fantasy and fairy tale elements. More specifically, she uses familiars called Ploys. Alice is proud and solitary, and she does not like others, with the exception of Aoko. She is the so-called witch of the mansion, and she lives with Aoko Aozaki. Type-Moon also released a character trailer for Aoko earlier in August.

You can watch the Alice Kuonji trailer for Mahoutsukai no Yoru: Witch on the Holy Night here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_oAO0LG51A

Kana Hanazawa will voice Alice Kuonji. She will likely voice Alice in the upcoming movie as well. Previous roles from Hanazawa include Sophie from Tales of Graces, Chiaki Nanami in Danganronpa, and Ichika Nakano in The Quintessential Quintuplets. Hanazawa has also voiced in other Type-Moon properties. She was Ayaka Sajo in Carnival Phantasm.

Mahoutsukai no Yoru; Witch on the Holy Night will come out on December 8, 2022 in Japan for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. The English localization will come out in Winter 2022.

dragon ball super hero box office sales

2022 is a good year for anime movies, as Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero has become the #5 highest-grossing anime film of all time. So far, it has made over $30 million, making it more profitable than Dragon Ball Super: Broly. Incidentally, Super Hero made $30 million since August 19, 2022, while Broly made $30.7 million throughout its theatrical run in 2019. [Thanks, Crunchyroll!]

Here's another look at the film's official trailer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9JHZwtObqs

The latest Dragon Ball Super movie isn't just a hit in the west. As of August 21, 2022, the movie made $51.6 million worldwide, with the United States contributing $21 million of that at the time. When the movie first launched in Japan back on June 11, 2022, it made 2.49 billion yen, which is around $18.16 million.

The plot of the film revolves around the revival of the Red Ribbon Arm, with Magenta hoping to recruit Dr. Gero's grandson Dr. Hedo. Super Hero also focuses on the relationship between Gohan and Piccolo. Some critics on Rotten Tomatoes specifically noted that the subplot around those two was a major boon to the story.

With Super Hero having ousted Broly, the Highest-Grossing Anime Films of All Time in the domestic box office are:

  • Pokemon: The First Movie
  • Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train
  • Pokemon: The Movie 2000
  • Jujutsu Kaisen 0 
  • Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is in theaters worldwide.

     Immortality Review Pc Marissa Marcel Sam BarlowSam Barlow has always been a developer to watch out for. Two previous titles, Her Story and Telling Lies, weave together intriguing narratives with refreshing mechanics that even bigger studios can't duplicate. Now, with Immortality set to release on Steam, it completes a trifecta of full-motion video (FMV) games with unique twists. In some ways, Immortality manages to trump its two counterparts, showcasing Barlow's talents. However, it also relies heavily on non-linear storytelling and open-ended gameplay, which can cause some issues detailed below. Lastly, please note that our Immortality review will try to avoid spoilers as best as possible.   What happened to Marissa Marcel? Immortality tells the tale of Marissa Marcel. An aspiring Hollywood actress in the 60s, Marcel lands a role in a film called Ambrosio (1968), where she plays a nun in a convent. That's followed by Minsky (1970), a detective flick. Marcel's third and final film is Two of Everything (...
