On December 22, the popular 2019 Korean MMORPG, Lost Ark, announced an update to a hero class months before her official release in the U.S. and Europe in April. The update isn't a gameplay one, but rather, a cosmetic one that will tone down any perceived lewdness by adding some length and undergarments to her dress.

     Destiny 2 Iron Banner returns with Cabal turrets in Fortress mode

Destiny 2 Iron Banner has returned, but this time, the fan-favourite activity contains an extra layer of PvE gameplay. Fortress, a new Cabal-themed mode, is similar to Control, a standard capture-the-zone mode similar to modes popular in many online shooters. However, in the new Destiny 2 Iron Banner season 19 mode, players must not only face off against one another in the FPS game but must also take down turrets to capture "high-value zones" that grant more points than the other capture zones.

Iron Banner is a Crucible event that takes place twice per season, featuring special game modes as well as gear and rewards only available from the activity. In the Crucible's Control mode, players score points by capturing zones. Guardians gain two points for each zone they control at each time interval. When a team controls two zones, the game deems it zone advantage and grants four points at each time interval. When a team captures all three, it's a power play, and the team gains six points for each interval.

Genshin Impact 3.4 Special Program Stream Set for This Week

HoYoVerse announced when the Genshin Impact 3.4 Special Program stream will air. On January 6, 2023, people can tune in to learn more about the next update. It will air at 4am PT/7am ET/1pm CET. It will appear first on Twitch. Then, after that, it will be available to watch on YouTube.

While the teaser image for each stream tends to tease which characters could appear in the update, the Genshin Impact 3.4 Special Program image only shows some oranges and tea. This means there's no initial hint as to who the hosts could be this time.

However, we already do know two people expected to appear in the update. HoYoVerse tends to engage in drip marketing on social media, showing off upcoming playable characters. At The Game Awards 2022, the trailer showed Yaoyao at the very end. She's a Dendro character from Liyue who appeared in teaser and leaks in the past, but is only just about to make her debut. After that, the company took to Twitter to share art of her and Alhaitham. He's a Dendro swordsman who appeared in the Sumeru Archon quests.

Genshin Impact is available for the PS4, PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and the 3.4 Special Program stream will be held at 4am PT/7am ET/1pm CET on January 6, 2023.

Urusei Yatsura Second Cour Cast of Characters Revealed

A trailer for the second cour of Urusei Yatsura also revealed three new characters' voice actors. They will voice Ten, Ryunosuke Fujinami, and Ryunosuke's Dad, respectively. The official website for Urusei Yatsura also has some comments from the three additions to the cast.

First off, you can watch a trailer for the new cour here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrXb_W3o8dk

The trailer has the same fast-paced humor that is present in the show, as well as other Rumiko Takahashi works. MAISONdes will still sing the opening. You can hear it in the trailer, and the name of the song is "Aiwananmchu feat. asmi and Surii." MAISONdes will also sing the ending theme, though we do not yet know the name for that.

As for the new voice actors for Urusei Yatsura characters, they are:

  • Ten: Aoi Yuki (Futaba in Persona 5, Lucy in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners)
  • Ryunosuke Fujinami: Ayahi Takagaki (Feldt in Mobile Suit Gundam 00, Mariah in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders)
  • Ryunosuke's Dad: Shigeru Chiba (Kuwabara in Yu Yu Hakusho, Kira's Dad in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable)

On the website, Yuki commented that she was a big fan of Inuyasha, and her mom was a huge fan of Urusei Yatsura. Because of her mom and the overall reputation of the series, she thought of it as a legendary work even before she appeared on the show. Takagaki is herself a huge fan of the Takahashi's works, starting from Ranma ½. Chiba, on the other hand, does not seem to be an existing fan. But he says that he feels fortunate to be a part of the Rumic World because of all the unique and lively characters.

Urusei Yatsura is readily available for streaming on HIDIVE, and the second cour will start airing on January 5, 2023.

     Genshin Impact Are The Wanderer Constellations Worth GettingWanderer, more popularly known as Scaramouche, is a new 5-star Anemo character introduced in Version 3.3 of Genshin Impact. This devious character was previously an antagonist in the game, stirring up trouble in both Inazuma and Sumeru. However, following his defeat in the most recent Archon Quest, Scaramouche has seemingly turned over a new leaf, even helping us and taking a new name. Now, he's playable, and you might be wondering which of the Wanderer constellations is worth getting in Genshin Impact. Constellations are special power-ups or additional effects your characters get when you pull copies of them. For example, if you already have a Kaeya and pull two more while pulling on a banner, you will gain two constellations. Each constellation has a different effect, and typically, the constellations get stronger the more you obtain. Some characters have great constellations, while others are not as beneficial. Finally, each character can only have six constellations. (One exc...
