Dr. Disrespect appeared during an episode of WWE Now and told interviewers that he was looking for someone, but who? The news and drama that surrounds the lives of the world’s most popular and well-known streamers is very entertaining. Certain Twitch channels have become non-stop reality TV shows at this point. Most of what we’re seeing is pretty entertaining, but there is a fair bit of bad in there too. The amount of animal abuse that finds its way onto Twitch streams never ceases to amaze us....

According to Bandai Namco Entertainment, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is meant to be the most-devoted depiction of Kakarot, the main character better known as Goku, and his adventures. What that exactly remains to be seen, but everything from the classic Raditz fight and showing Goku fishing in a trailer has added layers to that idea. Now, it seems as if Bandai has shown fans the next step in this depiction of Goku....

In Dungeons and Dragons, the fighter class is regarded as one of the most beginner-friendly classes available. Many experienced players had their first adventure as a fighter. In older versions, such as 3.5, the combat element of playing a fighter was easier. You accessed abilities faster, and typically focused on simply attacking and being attacked. While the class may be appealing for new players, there are benefits to playing the fighter regardless of how long you have been involved with the game....

Over the past few years, there have been some truly stunning releases from indie developers. This is not to say that these games lack in gameplay quality, but some of the things that developers have managed to achieve with modern technology is incredible.

If I asked NFL fans to name the greatest Quarterback/Wide Receiver combination of all time, there would be a large percentage who answer “Joe Montana and Jerry Rice.” Well, it’s very possible that despite several Super Bowl rings together, this Sunday, August 8th at 7:00pm EST on ABC, we’ll see the greatest pass/catch combo ever - Joe Montana and… Actress/Journalist, Maria Menounos. This weekend prior to the Hall of Fame game, between the Dallas Cowboys and Cincinati Bengals, kicking off the start of the NFL season, and as part of the EA Sports’ launch of Madden NFL 11, ABC will air the Madden Pigskin Pro-Am Challange powered by GameStop....

Chelona’s rise is an uphill tower located at the Liurnia of Lakes. This location is unlocked upon proceeding through Ranni’s questline and defeating Astel, Natural Born of the Void in Grand Cloister. But like most of the field towers, its entrance is sealed and locked with magic....

Astel Naturalborn of the Void is a secret boss in Elden Ring. You can fight it once you’ve gotten past the debilitating effects of the Lake of Rot, whereupon you’ll see a coffin at the edge of a cliff. Interacting with it causes your character to climb in, bringing you to a separate location. Here’s our Elden Ring Astel Naturalborn of the Void guide to help you defeat this secret boss in the Lake of Rot....

Elden Ring’s Malenia is an optional encounter but also by far the hardest boss in the game. She is however a required opponent if you wish to complete Millicent’s questline and obtain Miquella’s Needle, which is a key item for reversing the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending if you had visited the Three Fingers. As Malenia has attacks that can easily one-shot you, it’s highly recommended using spirit ash summons for this fight just to give you some breathing room....

Embracer Group is closing its down Square Enix Montréal studio - which it purchased as part of a $300m USD deal with Square Enix back in May - just weeks after rebranding it Studio Onoma.

Also, this new $1 million threshold is for lifetime revenue, rather than quarterly revenue....
