HBO's The Last of US TV adaptation may have recently started filming, but it's also still filling out its cast. Deadline is reporting that Jeffrey Pierce (Bosch), Murray Bartlett (The White Lotus), and Con O'Neill (Our Flag Means Death) are joining the post-apocalyptic fold.Particularly of note for fans of the original video game series is the addition of Pierce, who voiced Tommy in the games, but will reportedly "recur as a different character" named Perry, who is only being described as a rebel in a quarantine zone. Bartlett will guest as Frank, while O'Neill will play Bill--both are survivalists living in an isolated town. Writer Craig Mazin has said The Last of Us TV show will follow the story of the original game, so speculation will likely follow about how these roles might correspond with or contrast against the source material.In the games, players alternately take control of Joel and Ellie across a ravaged United States. Joel is a smuggler tasked with escorting a teenage girl to safety, a task that grows more daunting and complicated deeper at every step.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Baldur's Gate 3 has received its fifth big patch during its time in early access, adding a plethora of quality-of-life changes to the growing RPG as well as some experimental features that may or may not make it into the final game.As detailed in last week's Panel from Hell, hosting by Larian Studios and partly through some entertaining LARPing, Patch 5 for Baldur's Gate 3 is more about mechanical fixes and additions over new content. That means no new class to play as well as no new story content, but there's some changes that will have an impact on your existing campaign. Camps, for example, now better represent the area you're in when you pitch your tents, which makes cutscenes there more believable. Larian is also introducing a new mechanic that differentiates between short and long rests and how that factors into combat.Combat has been tweaked, too, with the ability for companions to disarm enemies being added. This lets you get even weirder with engagements, letting you pilfer weapons off dead bodies or mess around with strategies where you're throwing weapons between party members during a fight. Larian says this patch also touches the AI for both enemies and party members, both of which should now make more logical decisions in the heat of the moment.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Space Jam: A New Legacy hits theaters and HBO Max on July 16, and director Malcolm D. Lee already has plans for another addition to the franchise--and who he'd love to add to the cast.Talking to Entertainment Weekly, Lee talked about how there are a lot of factors going into the making of a possible third entry but feels that it would have to live up to the legacy of what's been already set."I think the bar has been set so high in terms of the first one with this global iconic superstar in Michael Jordan, and now the same global iconic superstar in LeBron James, who transcends sports," Lee stated. "Who is that next person to put into that universe? And then you've got to find a script and story that's good enough to not repeat what's been done but will capture the spirit of it and keep it going."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Call of Duty's Season 4 Reloaded update for Black Ops Cold War's Zombies adds the new round-based map Mauer der Toten, and one of the best parts of a new map is discovering all of Treyarch's fun Easter egg surprises. Mauer der Toten lets you get your boogie on with a fun disco bunny Easter egg that works similar to the Coffin Dance Easter eggs found on the Die Maschine and Firebase Z maps.There really aren't any prerequisites for completing this disco Easter egg, other than you just need to have certain areas of the map opened up. If you've already followed our guide to opening up the map to turn on the power and activate Pack-A-Punch, then you're going to be good to go for this quest. However, I'd recommend getting a Pack-A-Punch weapon before attempting this Easter egg, especially if playing solo. The zombies can become overwhelming for the final part of this quest.Find The Bunny PartsYou’ll need to collect a total of six plushie parts that assemble the Mystery Box rabbit from various locations around Mauer der Toten. The bunny pieces can be found in the following locations:Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

In August, Hulu is offering up plenty of reasons to stay at home with fresh content arriving throughout the month. This includes new movies, series, and classic catalog titles.Things are, appropriately for summer's final weeks, heating up on the streaming service and especially loaded up with exciting content in the last handful of days. August 26 alone has the Season 10 premiere of American Horror Story and Season 12 premiere of Archer. It's a big deal that both of those shows have been able to climb into double-digits of seasons, though the next batch of episodes for these series promise to be big events--AHS Season 10 promises to be about famous and infamous mythological creatures, whereas Archer Season 12 will explore the titular spy's return from a coma.On August 31, Steve Martin's Only Murders in the Building, a spoof of--and homage to--true-crime podcasts and its devoted fandoms will finally be out. Co-created and written by Martin and John Hoffman (The Larry Sanders Show, Northern Lights) and based on an idea by Martin, Only Murders in the Building is about three strangers (Martin, Martin Short, Selena Gomez) who live in the same NYC apartment building and also share an obsession with true-crime stories--specifically, podcasts--and suddenly find themselves investigating one. Based on a recent trailer, it should be silly and stupid and self-important in the way Martin's best work typically is.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Actor Antonio Banderas has been named Harrison Ford's newest co-star in the next Indiana Jones film, which still doesn't yet have a title. The casting announcement was first reported by Deadline, though it hasn't been revealed who Banderas will be playing or how heavily his character will feature in the film.For that matter, pretty much everything in the film's plot is under wraps. All we know for sure so far is that Indiana Jones 5 recently began filming in the UK, and that its cast also includes Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Hannibal actor Mads Mikkelsen. Boyd Holbrook, Shaunette Renee Wilson, and Thomas Kretschmann will also co-star. The movie is being directed by James Mangold (Logan, Ford vs. Ferrari), who took over for Steven Spielberg after he dropped out, making Indiana Jones 5 the first entry in the entire series to not be directed by him.Images of Ford from the set recently emerged, showing the 78-year-old actor in costume. In late June, Ford reportedly injured his shoulder while rehearsing a fight scene for Indiana Jones 5--though it was not expected to affect production in any significant manner, with filming to shift course around the actor while treatment was evaluated.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Call of Duty's Season 4 Reloaded update for Black Ops Cold War Zombies adds lots of new content with the launch of Mauer der Toten, including a powerful new Wonder Weapon. The CRBR-S Wonder Weapon starts off as an energy-based pistol with an orbiting repeater that fires an extra shot when you fire. To upgrade it into one of three additional variants, you’ll need special weapon Mod Kits that will attach onto the CRBR-S, modifying it into a completely different weapon.How To Get The CRBR-S Wonder WeaponThere are a few ways to get the new CRBR-S Wonder Weapon in your hands:While not a guarantee, your odds might be best with the Trials feature. Simply locate and activate the Trials computer terminal on the map, and keep activating and completing trials until your reward reaches the "legendary" rarity status. You might end up getting a different high-end gun or a perk as your reward, but this is going to be a more favorable approach than just getting lucky with the Mystery Box. Your odds are even better of getting at least one Wonder Weapon if you have a full team of four and everyone attempts the trials.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Bungie is making big changes to the Destiny 2 reputation system in Season 15. In a blog post on Bungie's website, rituals lead Alan Blaine provided details on the updates coming to the reputation system, aimed at streamlining the experience.In Season 15, the reputation systems from Lord Shaxx, The Drifter, and Commander Zavala will be renamed Crucible, Gambit, and Vanguard ranks, respectively. The names Infamy and Valor are being retired, while Glory will continue to be used for the competitive Crucible reputation system.The ranking progression system is being altered as well, to allow players to reset the reputation system faster on average. This is being achieved by removing ritual-specific rules that impede progress, removing win streaks in favor of activity streak bonuses, and standardizing reputation bonus weeks to double multipliers. Blaine said that currently it would take someone who consistently loses their PvP Crucible or Gambit matches three to four times as long as someone who wins consistently to complete their Crucible reset. The new changes in Season 15 will make that more forgiving, so it'll only take you twice as long to reset if you find yourself on a losing streak. It is now expected that two-thirds of reputation will come from just playing the game but players can progress faster by winning.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Technology manufacturer Elgato has unveiled a bunch of new products geared toward streamers of all followings and sizes, including a webcam, mic arms, mounts, and even a browser-based program to build the perfect setup.The company revealed the products piecemeal on Twitter following its roughly 30-minute July 15 livestream. Each one is purchasable from Elgato's website and range from $100-$200. There are also bundles available to buy.Perhaps the most scintillating of the bunch is the brand-new Elgato Facecam, the company's first official webcam that sits on top of a computer monitor. Retailing at $200, the Facecam shoots uncompressed 1080p video at 60fps and packs some high-end tech--like a Sony Starvis sensor typically found in DSLR cameras and other camcorders--in a small, plug-and-play chassis. The Facecam also features an all-glass lens with ultra-low distortion to produce a high-quality, wide-angle image regardless of lighting.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Grinding Gear Games has just revealed a new round of content for Path of Exile during a recent livestream, which includes a new Expedition expansion and the return of the battle royale mode--which is out now for a limited time. Along with new content for the 3.15 expansion, the developers announced some sweeping quality-of-life changes coming to the game, some of which could be considered controversial to the state of the game.Grinding Gear Games CEO Chris Wilson gave a detailed breakdown in the latest stream for what's new for Path of Exile, revealing the latest league event called Expedition, which will launch on July 23 for PC and on the 28th for consoles. Focusing on a new faction called the Kalguurans, you're tasked with exploring a new region called Wraeclast, which holds ancient treasures and the lost history of the new faction. Ancient Kalguurans once controlled this land, but they would eventually lose control due to the region's supernatural forces.The main conceit of the Expedition content is that you'll be exploring a new landscape filled with hidden chests and undead monsters hiding underneath the surface. While this seems quite close to the standard overworld exploration loop, what sets Expedition apart are the various excavation sites scattered around the land. By planting explosives at these sites, you can unearth treasure stashes or undead Kalguuran explorers to fight. While you can focus on blowing up markers at each site carefully, you can also chain together explosions--which in turn risks more fights--to increase your haul of loot. With this new Expedition league, you can also acquire brand new pieces of armor and weapons. The Expedition also serves as an opportunity to meet with new Kalguuran NPCs, with whom you can learn more and even trade resources with in order to gain new items and gear for your character.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Harley Quinn has become something of a throughline for DC movies, if such a thing exists. Margot Robbie's iconic version of the character has appeared in disparate movies including David Ayer's Suicide Squad, Cathy Yan's Birds of Prey, and now James Gunn's The Suicide Squad. In all these ensembles, she's stolen the show. And in a recent Q&A following a screening of The Suicide Squad, Gunn said that Robbie is "the greatest actor [he's] ever worked with.""I came to Margot, and we talked about the script after she read it," Gunn said. "And when we said something about Harley, she would always be like, 'Yeah, but you know more about her than I do.' Because I've read every single comic book Harley Quinn has ever been in. I've watched every animated movie she's ever been in. So she has no ego, is one of the reasons why she's probably the greatest actor I've ever worked with--not because she says I know more than she does, but because she just comes into it in such a way that she's willing to go as far as she possibly can with the character."And she's incredibly prepared, incredibly disciplined, able to do the action stuff, able to do the comedy, able to do the drama, and she's an incredibly well rounded actor."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Destiny 2 Update 3.2.1.1 is live now, fixing three issues. Hotfix 3.2.1.1 fixes an issue where players could exit the play area during the Glassway Strike boss fight. Players were using the glitch in the Grandmaster version of the Nightfall Strike to slip into an area where the bosses couldn't damage them, allowing them to fire at the enemies in safety. Grandmaster Nightfalls are some of the toughest challenges in Destiny 2 and give out some of the best rewards, so the bug essentially allowed players to easily farm it.The update also solves an issue where the Worldshaper ornament for Izanagi's Burden would sometimes cause ADS issues when zooming in. The third and final fix in this update is that an issue where the Catalyst Competitor Triumph was not showing for players who completed it during the Guardian Games.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Mere hours before preorders began on the new Switch OLED Model, Valve preempted the festivities with a big announcement of its own: the Steam Deck, a portable gaming PC that bears more than a passing resemblance to Nintendo's popular handheld/console hybrid. The shot across the bow may or may not have been intentional, and preorders are opening soon. Either way, Steam's new device seems inspired by, if not a direct challenger to, Nintendo's popular console. And fresh off the community's disappointment over the lack of Switch Pro news, Valve could be taking the opportunity to get out ahead of the competition.In fact, the Steam Deck is being positioned as similar to the Switch in many ways. The starting price for the Steam Deck is $400, just above the price of the Switch OLED but with significantly more power (albeit with an LCD screen). The device itself looks similar to a Switch, though the full analog sticks and track pads make it a bit wider than a Switch equipped with the already-large Split Pad Pro. There's even an optional dock to plug it into your TV, the marquee hybrid feature that serves as the Switch's namesake.Valve is also making sure to accent the power proposition. It's no coincidence that its promotional videos have shown games like Control running on the Steam Deck, with a promise that it's running natively on the device. Contrast this with the Nintendo Switch, which has offered hit-or-miss cloud-based versions of games that often come with compromises--including Control.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
