     Diablo Immortal patch notes: server transfers, season six, legendaries

Diablo Immortal patch notes are here for the latest update to the Blizzard RPG game. Diablo Immortal patch 1.6.2 introduces a character server transfer feature, with server merges planned in early November to help ensure players of the multiplayer game have enough people to group up with for activities such as the Diablo Immortal Shadow War or team up with players in Diablo Immortal warbands. The 1.6.2 update also boasts the season six start date and details on its battle pass, as well as a whole host of new legendary items.

     Hogwarts Legacy classes will be story-driven, fan claims

We still don't know exactly how Hogwarts Legacy classes will work in the upcoming Harry Potter RPG game. Little snippets of Hogwarts Legacy gameplay have shown off players attending classes, and developer Avalanche Software has given us some information, but not much. This is why a software developer has taken to the internet to outline how they think Hogwarts Legacy classes will work, and it's an interesting read if nothing else.

     The best Bannerlord companions

Who are the best Bannerlord companions? The follow-up to Mount & Blade: Warband is out of Steam Early Access, and it's gone down a treat with fans of the medieval sandbox RPG. If you've already been exploring the treacherous and stunning vistas of Calradia, you may have stumbled across some of the best companions in Bannerlord, but if you're on the hunt for these companions, we've got you covered.

Bannerlord companions are special characters you can recruit throughout the world. You'll find them in a number of places across the map, but first, it's good to know what benefits they provide to your party. Companions can be quite pricey, but it pays to find companions that fit your party well, depending on the skills you're lacking or looking for. Although they act like regular soldiers and take up one space in your party size, they're not faceless warriors. Instead, they come with skills and a name and can be incredibly valuable as their skills apply to the rest of your party.

By increasing your Bannerlord party size, you'll be able to fit in more companions. Similar to your character, they level up their skills as you progress, so it's worth recruiting these companions as early as possible to reap the full benefit later on in the game. Here's how to find companions in Bannerlord.

     The best robot games on PC in 2022

What are the best robot games on PC? Strapping into an overpowered robot filled to the brim with rockets and lasers is a power fantasy as old as anime itself. Classic shows from the '80s and '90s - like Mobile Suit Gundam and Neon Genesis Evangelion - popularised the mecha anime genre.

Good news: there's a game for you.

We've compiled this list of the 11 best robot games available to play on PC and have taken special care to represent as many different genres as possible.

     How to make money in Bannerlord

Want to learn how to make money in Bannerlord as quickly as possible? The next Mount & Blade has left early access, and much like the previous sandbox game, it's immensely complicated if you don't know what you're doing ahead of time, and no area proves this more than making denar - the game's currency. Finally, you're ready to settle in for a long sesh of ruling kingdoms and abolishing armies to take over an empire. Oh, if you only had the money to do it.

It can be a long slog towards victory in Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord if you're not making denar quickly and efficiently. Of course, some quests and missions will earn you a fair bit of coin, but if you're looking for easy and quick ways to make money seamlessly, here are a few tips on how to make money in Bannerlord.

Another Warzone 2 map outside of the already announced Al Mazrah may have been teased in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 campaign in mission 'El Sin Nombre', as players are eagerly putting together information from Activision, leaks, and a healthy dose of speculation as to how a second map may figure into the battle royale game.

     IRL Valorant fist bump gun buddy makes other FPS fans jealous

Valorant players are all about their pricey and lavish in-game cosmetics but, while money can buy you whatever you want in Riot's FPS game, the most sought-after item is priceless: Riot Games' fist bump gun buddy. It's a unique and incalculable item on which only the worthy can get their hands. Unfortunately, Riot Games can't find every single wholesome player to bestow them with a fist bump, so this one went ahead and created their own.

     The best Modern Warfare 2 battle rifles

Modern Warfare 2 battle rifles are a new weapon type for the Call of Duty series, and they might even be a new favourite for some thanks to their similarity to some of the best assault rifles in the multiplayer game. While you have to fight against tougher kickback compared to most ARs, you're rewarded with greater damage and improved range. Once we get a proper look at the new battle rifles after the Modern Warfare 2 release date, we'll have a better idea of which Gunsmith attachments can help with that recoil, too.

There are only four of these new battle rifles available in Modern Warfare 2 at launch. While you may be more familiar with the wide variety of pre-existing assault rifles, we highly recommend you give these new rifles a try. As there aren't many, we've listed and described all four below, but consider this a tier list of sorts, as you'll find them in order from best to worst. So, starting with the Lachmann-762, here are the best Modern Warfare 2 battle rifles.

     Nvidia RTX 4080 – release date, price, specs, and benchmarks

The Nvidia RTX 4080 is now officially a thing, and could be the best graphics card money can buy. While it won't beat the flagship RTX 4090, the RTX 3080 successor should still offer enthusiast levels of performance that stretch beyond the boundaries of mid-tier options.

Originally, Nvidia announced two RTX 4080 graphics cards during its GTC keynote reveal. Since then, the green team has 'unlaunched' its lower-spec 12GB model, amid criticisms that it was merely an overclocked RTX 4070.

To help shallow Nvidia's sea of announced specs, we've gathered everything we know about RTX 4080 release date, price, specs, and benchmark rumours.

To celebrate Fallout's 25th anniversary this week, Amazon Prime Video have released the first official glimpse of their upcoming Fallout TV show. Amazon posted a screengrab from the show on Twitter last night, depicting three Vault 33 dwellers staring at a silhouette coming in or out of the Vault - and what appears to be a body lying on the ground beside them. This is the first and only proper look we've had at the adaptation since August's leaked set images mysteriously disappeared from the internet, but that hasn't stopped fans from wildly theorising about what's going on.

After the past three years, I'd have happily never heard the word "plague" again, let alone in the context of one of my favourite co-op games. Yet after an early play around with Deep Rock Galactic Season 3, I'm already sold that this update – which centers around a corrupting, planet-wide infection – could be its best one yet.

After repelling a robot-spamming rival corp across Seasons 1 and 2, your reward in Season 3 – which launches on November 3rd – is to find your mining operating pelted by a meteorite storm. And they're carrying a nasty payload: Rockpox, a contagion that quickly infects both the caves of Hoxxes IV and the many, many giant bugs living within them. These sickly Glyphids and contaminated caverns will present you and your fellow space dwarves with some new perils, but also new opportunities to turn a management-pleasing profit. And isn't providing value to shareholders why we're all here to begin with?

Nothing frightens me more than not being in control. The fear of an outside force pushing me into the corners of my mind and redecorating however they wish. It's what should be scary about zombies when they're not just mindless headshot fodder. This is also the main fear behind Endoparasitic, a top-down horror game released earlier this week. A research facility suffers a parasitic outbreak, leaving you with one arm, surrounded by mutated monsters. Oh, and you're also infected by one of those deadly parasites I just mentioned. Jolly!

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's campaign may be the best it's been for a long while. There's great variety in the game's first-person shooty bang with plenty of interesting ideas to break the illusion of it being an on-the-rails ride. Where it excels is in its action movie sequences, but it also takes itself too seriously at times and struggles to balance the sensitivities of conflict within its choppy story.

emberstoria saga emerald beyond

On October 13, 2022, Square Enix filed trademarks for "Emberstoria" and "SaGa Emerald Beyond." The news only became public in late October 2022. In April 2022, Square Enix trademarked "Emberstoria Overwrite," though it is unclear if they are two separate properties. In May 2022, Square Enix registered emberstoria.net and emberstoria.com as domains as well. [Thanks, Gematsu!]

It is currently unclear what Emberstoria or Emberstoria Overwrite are. They do not appear to be part of any existing franchises or series under Square Enix's belt. So these two trademarks may have to do with a new IP. As Square Enix started trademarking Emberstoria in April, it may not be until 2023 that we see anything concrete from this. Square Enix has also trademarked Emberstoria Overwrite in Australia.

As for "SaGa Emerald Beyond," it may be a new project within the SaGa series. These JRPGs first came out in 1989 with The Final Fantasy Legend. The word "SaGa" started appearing in the titles from Romancing SaGa, which came out for the Super Famicom in 1992. The last console game was SaGa: Scarlet Grace, which came out in 2016 for the PlayStation Vita, so "Emerald Beyond" might be a new non-mobile title. Square Enix has also filed for a "SaGa Emerald Beyond" trademark in Europe and Australia.

More information on Square Enix's new projects will appear in the future. It has also recently trademarked "Symbiogenesis," which may have something to do with Parasite Eve.

chainsaw man episode 3

MAPPA uploaded the creditless version of the ending for Chainsaw Man episode 3. Unlike most anime series, Chainsaw Man will change its ending song and animation every week. For episode 3, the ending was "Hawatari Nioku Centi" by Maximum the Hormone. [Thanks, Game Watch!]

"Hawatari Nioku Centi" can loosely translate to "Two Hundred Million CM Blades." The ending has a slightly psychedelic vibe, with lots of quick movements over a red blood-like background. It also has a deeply contrasting middle section, with a slower rhythm and featuring a saintly image of Makima. Then it switches up again, featuring the main trio in a more peaceful setting.

You can watch the creditless ending for Chainsaw Man episode 3 here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEwAiwttN10

The first ending song was Vaundy's "Chainsaw Blood" and the second ending was Zutomayo's "Time Left." MAPPA has already uploaded the creditless endings for both of these songs. You can also view the episode previews for Chainsaw Man through the MAPPA YouTube channel.

Chainsaw Man follows the story of Denji, a demon hunter who merges with his pet demon Pochita after a job that went sideways. Makima scouts him to work as a demon hunter for the Public Security Bureau, where he meets fellow demon hunters Aki and Power. The manga started serialization in 2018 in Weekly Shonen Jump. Viz has licensed it for an English audience. The anime debuted in the Fall 2022 anime season.

The Chainsaw Man anime is available to stream on Crunchyroll.

death note simpsons header

Lisa Simpson found the Death Note and is ready to exact justice upon the world. No, this is not an early April Fool's joke. DR Movie, the South Korean animation studio that worked with Madhouse on Death Note, animated a parody of Death Note for The Simpsons. In this short clip, the titular Death Note is called the Death Tome, with some new rules.

[gallery columns="2" ids="938042,938043" link="file"]

Every Halloween, The Simpsons has a little Treehouse of Horror horror compilation. Some of the segments reference other works, such as Peanuts with "It's the Grand Pumpkin, Milhouse" and Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" with…"The Raven." This year, it will go full anime for one of the three segments. Outside of the clip, you can see the anime versions of Homer and Marge. In the clip, you can see anime versions of Disco Stu, Terri, and Sherri.

You can watch the Death Note parody in The Simpsons here:

https://twitter.com/DiscussingFilm/status/1585025861128196096

Other than The Simpsons, Netflix is also interested in bringing Death Note's Japanese tale to American soil. It is currently in the process of developing yet another live-action series based on Death Note. It will be different from the Netflix film (in which Light became a white teenager named Light Turner), with the creators of Stranger Things working on it.

The Simpsons will air this year's "Treehouse of Horror" on October 30, 2022. The Death Note segment will be the second of three, with the others parodying Babadook and Westworld.

     Signalis ReviewSignalis, a survival-horror offering from developer rose-engine and publisher Humble Games, is coming out soon. It combines the design and concepts from old-school franchises that veteran players will remember, as well as crafty puzzles to please those who like a challenge. This is rose-engine's debut effort, and it's easy to say that the studio knocked it out of the park. However, there are still a few notable quirks that can mar your experience.   Repli-can or repli-can't Signalis stars Elster, a Replika unit (i.e., Replicant or android) in search of her partner. What follows is a harrowing romp deep below a frozen planet's surface, where Elster meets other Replika creations and malformed monstrosities. From the story alone, one can think of Souls-like similarities, primarily due to the cryptic and downright mind-boggling plot, to the aura of mystery that surrounds this locale. And, even then, you'll also notice several cinematics, often with a dist...
