It is my sad duty to report to you that Mei, the young ice-wielding hero of the Overwatch series, and Lebron James, the second highest-scoring player in NBA history, have both been deemed to be too buggy to remain in active service and have been disabled.

In the mid-90s, with the Saturn bombing and the video game landscape changing rapidly, Sega rolled the dice and made a few risky bets. One of those was, uh, sinking $3 million into the creation of an adult-oriented FMV game called Sacred Pools that was so bad it ended up being binned before it was ever released.

Video games can teach you many things. For example, jumping off a very tall cliff is deadly, or people will stop looking for you if you just hide in a closet for a bit. But I never thought I'd see a video game teach someone how to pull off a buck-wild racing maneuver involving a wall, high speed, and some courage…and…

After 7 months of testing, work and tinkering, French Yu-Gi-Oh! fan SuperZouloux has built one of the coolest card game tricks I have ever seen: a game mat and camera setup that, thanks to augmented reality tech, is able to broadcast 3D versions of his monsters as he plays his cards.

Video game consoles are very expensive pieces of computer hardware crammed into relatively small boxes and packaged with pricey controllers. So it's not surprising to hear that Microsoft isn't making money selling Xbox consoles. In fact, these days it loses up to $200 for every console sold.

     Overwatch 2 ice wall bug sidelines Mei until next patch

Mei has been benched for the next two weeks, as a result of the Overwatch 2 ice wall bug. Blizzard says the bug allows players to reach "unintended locations" in the FPS game and that the developers are working on fixing the issue so the frosty climatologist can rejoin the roster when the next Overwatch 2 patch drops.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X is a good gaming CPU with better content creation performance than the more expensive 5800X3D - even though it's slower than the X3D in gaming. Still, at its price point it hits a punch, and the boffins at HUKD have spotted a good deal for the 5800X at CCL. There, you can find the 5800X for £235 when you use code AFF15 with some nifty extras: a 64GB Micro SD card and a code for Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves.

The way it works is pretty simple - you need to get your total basket over £250 for the AFF15 code to work. So, pick anything on the store that's more than £5.51, like this Micro SD card, add it to your basket alongside the 5800X, then use the AFF15 code to bring the price down to the £235 we quoted. The game code will come with your order, no opt-in necessary, from what we understand.

genshin impact genius invokation tcg

HoYoVerse says it's time to duel, as it will introduce the Genius Invokation TCG mode in Genshin Impact. It will not be part of the next update, which is Version 3.2. Instead, the card game will be available in Version 3.3. Genius Invokation TCG will mostly be PvE, though there will be a PvP mode as well.

https://twitter.com/GenshinImpact/status/1587029125792923650

There will be no reward system in the PvP mode. Playing against NPCs will net you all the rewards, which means that players who do not wish to go up against real people will never have to. You will also be able to get all the cards within the game. So it seems that HoYoVerse has no plans at the moment to lock cards behind a paywall.

Cards will use existing characters, items, and monsters. For example, HoYoVerse has shown off cards depicting Maguu Kenki, Ningguang, and Katheryne. There is also a card that looks like Ganyu's name card. Not only will you be able to challenge NPCs, but you can also challenge different characters. This implies that you can play Genius Invokation TCG against playable characters such as Cyno. In lore, Cyno is an avid lover of Genius Invokation, which means he may be involved if Genius Invokation TCG has its own story or event quest.

Genshin Impact is readily available on PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. More information on how Genius Invokation works will appear closer to when Genshin Impact Version 3.3 launches.

Dragon Ball Z Frieza Capsule Pod

Bandai Spirits will release a Dragon Ball Z Frieza Capsule Pod cushion. Pre-orders for the cushion are immediately available through the Bandai Spirits official website. It will cost 29,700 yen (roughly $200 dollars). Expected delivery for the item is scheduled sometime in February 2023.  People will have until November 21, 2022 to reserve this item. [Thanks, denfamicogamer!]

Not only is the cushion large enough to sit in, it also features a small transparent pocket to store your mobile phone. This means that folks will be able to watch videos while seated in the capsule pod. It is approximately 95cm x 70cm, which makes it fairly spacious, though not an entirely 1:1 replica of Frieza's pod from Dragon Ball Z.

You can take a look at the Capsule Pod cushion below.

     Riven remake bridge waterFor years, developer Cyan's graphic adventure game Myst has cemented itself as one of the most revered and influential games ever made. But while plenty of gaming enthusiasts have at least heard of Myst, fewer people know about the 1997 sequel Riven. Fortunately, this hasn't led to Cyan neglecting its well-regarded follow-up, as the developer recently announced that it has a full-blown modern remake of Riven in the works. As you might expect, Cyan refrained from revealing too much concrete information regarding how this remake will compare to the original Riven. However, an FAQ page posted on its website confirms that the remake will go beyond the graphic point-and-click navigation of old and feature a fully explorable 3D world to roam around in. This would echo both realMyst: Masterpiece Edition and the VR version of Myst, as they too featured fully navigable recreations of the original game's world.   Why only now? According to the developers, they deci...
