When Marvel's Black Widow hit theaters and Disney+ last week, it snuck in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first mutant in the form of Ursa Major, member of Russian mutant team the Winter Guard--at least if actor Olivier Richters' Instagram post is accurate (via Uproxx).After Natasha Romanoff's peaceful, if false, life in Ohio is upset so that she and her adoptive sister can be trained as an assassins, their mission-father Alexei Shostakov ends up in a Russian gulag where we find him effortlessly arm-wrestling (and maiming) a giant man he refers to as Ursa.The post features Richters flexing alongside a gallery of comic book shots of Ursa Major, who has the ability to turn into a bear. In the comics, Ursa Major is a mutant like the X-Men, New Mutants, and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

I’m so excited! 💚 #Marvel #MCU #SheHulk #AnythingIsPossible pic.twitter.com/9KQT2VOhPh — Jameela Jamil 🌈 (@jameelajamil) July 16, 2021"I've peaked in silliness," Jamil wrote in the post.

Jamil replied to a few responses, saying that her favorite Marvel stories are anything with Loki, though she also likes Drax, Groot, and Rocket as well. Jamil suffers from Ehlers-Danlos Sydrome, a disorder that affects connective tissue, and said in the thread that the She-Hulk team is "being amazing," and that she plans to talk about it next year.Disney first announced the She-Hulk show in August 2019 as part of D23. Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black) will play the part of She-Hulk/Jennifer Walters, cousin of Bruce Banner. In the comics, a blood transfusion from Banner imbues her with the same gamma-irradiated powers as her cousin. In the comics, Jennifer has full control over her powers, while Banner usually doesn't. With Banner having merged Hulk and Banner in the MCU, this dynamic could shift for She-Hulk.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Collecting insects is an optional component to The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, but it adds depth to the customization of your inventory. The ability to brew high-grade potions is a luxury in the standard game, and a necessity if you dare to challenge hero mode.You will come across many insects on the beaten path during your adventure, and you can catch them with the Bug Net item that you can purchase from Beedle's shop. While most bugs pop up at random throughout the world, some rarer types will require you to look a little harder. Later in the game, you can play a bug-catching mini-game, where you will be rewarded with five bugs of a specific type, depending on your performance.Once you have some bugs, take them to the Potion Shop inside the Skyloft Bazaar. There, bugs can be used to power up standard potions and greatly increase their effectiveness. Insects can also be a great source for acquiring Rupees. If you approach Strich at night in his room in the Knight Academy, he will buy three random insect types, at values ranging from 1 to 50 rupees.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

PlayStation's president Jim Ryan has spoken about giving development teams the time they need to make great game--because PlayStation doesn't want mediocre titles. "We want the best," Ryan said of PlayStation's philosophy.Speaking to TMTPost, Ryan was asked how he stays patient with development teams when games can take years to create. He said giving teams the time they need will pay dividends down the road if the game in questions ends up being great. At the same time, however, there are business realities that are at play, too."It is better to wait and have a great game than to rush and have a game that is okay or quite good. Players only remember best games rather than OK games," he said. "If it is a best game, players may want a sequel, and they will also want to buy a sequel, but no one really cares about a game that is only OK. Of course, due to financial and product portfolio considerations, we will also give pressure to studios to deliver a certain product within the expected time. But in general, we don't want products that are OK, we want the best."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Call of Duty: Warzone has just received its latest update as part of Season 4 Reloaded, and there are big changes coming. Below, we've provided a rundown and the full patch notes detailing everything that has been adjusted. Leading the charge are a huge list of weapon balance updates that are being done with the explicit goal of increasing the average time-to-kill, or TTK, in Warzone. Many of Call of Duty: Warzone's weapons will now do less damage from headshots and shots to the torso, while other weapons are receiving nerfs to their maximum damage output."The following changes are our first major step towards increasing the average Time-to-Kill within Warzone," developer Raven Software writes in the game's patch notes. "It is important to note these Weapon adjustments were not made in a vacuum. When evaluating an individual change, some may seem quite drastic, but they were made holistically and in a way that supported a lock-step increase in average TTK across multiple Weapon categories. Torso Multipliers were a considerable focus of these changes with how often they would act as a flat damage increase given how consistently that location could be hit. With reductions to these multipliers, we are placing a bigger emphasis on precision--a move which we feel is ultimately healthy for the game."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Microsoft has suggested that it will bring back the much-maligned "office assistant" (aka Clippy the paperclip) from the old days of Microsoft Office, but Clippy won't do much talking this time. In a tweet, Microsoft said that it would replace the paperclip emoji in Microsoft 365 with Clippy if the tweet got more than 20,000 likes. Currently, the tweet is sitting at nearly 150,000 likes.If you aren't familiar with Clippy, you aren't alone--the talkative paper clip was removed from Microsoft Office back in 2007. The googly-eyed mascot who just wanted to explain Microsoft Office to you was considered annoying by many users, and many Flash animations featuring the violent demise of Clippy were early hits on Flash portals like Newgrounds.If this gets 20k likes, we’ll replace the paperclip emoji in Microsoft 365 with Clippy. pic.twitter.com/6T8ziboguC — Microsoft (@Microsoft) July 14, 2021This isn't the first time that Microsoft has flirted with Clippy nostalgia. The software giant recently released some old-school themed backgrounds for Microsoft Teams, one of which featured a stylized Clippy. If you're a Microsoft 365 user, keep an eye out for that new paperclip emoji--but don't be surprised if he starts talking to you.Info from Gamespot.com
