"The Murdochs have inflicted so much racism, sexism, and virulent lies & damage to our nation."Mangold wants movie makers to deprive the Fox News Network not just of appearances, but ads too. "Fellow content makers, we must cancel appearances on Fox & use our power to keep ads 4 our shows off Fox," he continued.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Assassin's Creed Valhalla players spotted several new abilities within the game's Bear, Raven, and Wolf skill trees a few weeks ago, which then quickly disappeared. The first node allowed for players to "let the fates guide your path" and automatically allocate skill points into any empty slots.The other nodes revealed new abilities that players could acquire: The Raven tree added the Assassin Carry ability, a skill that lets you automatically pick up a body after performing an assassination.The Bear tree added Fight Ready, which guarantees a full adrenaline slot at the start of a fight and the Wolf tree's new Arrow looter skill increases your chances of finding extra arrow ammo on the bodies of dead enemy archers. None of these new abilities were mentioned in the December update patch notes, and some players reported seeing them for an instant before they vanished.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The stealth-action series Tenchu could get a revival. Acquire president Takuma Endo said the company is not planning a new game in the immediate future, but he would like to make a new one if the opportunity presents itself.Gematsu reports that the Japanese magazine Famitsu features an interview with Endo, who said that the company registered the "Stealth Assassin" trademark in 2018 because it had expired. That trademark is said to lay the groundwork for a new Tenchu if the company chooses to pursue it, which he'd like to build from the ground up for the PlayStation 5 generation.Elsewhere in the interview, Endo said he'd like to launch a new indies brand for smaller titles, distinct from the main Acquire brand. That could begin rolling out games by the end of 2021.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales was one of the best PlayStation exclusives of 2020. Just like its predecessor Marvel's Spider-Man, the sequel featured tons of cool suits for Miles to don to gain new abilities and perks. In addition to adding gameplay variety, the different looks provided by the suits set up well for the most ubiquitous collectible around: Funko Pops. Unsurprisingly, the game is getting a fairly large lineup of vinyl Pop figures based on Miles' different looks. The Miles Morales Funko Pop collection is available to preorder now, with orders expected to ship in April.Seven new Miles Morales design have been revealed, each of which shows Miles in one of the suits from the game. The lineup includes designs such as the Crimson Cowl, Winter Suit, high-tech Programmable Suit, S.T.R.I.K.E. Suit, and Bodega Cat Suit. While we can't tell if Miles is wearing a backpack in the Bodega Cat suit design, it's clear that the cat isn't front and center, which is a tad disappointing.The new Pops join a lineup that already included two figures that released in November. The Classic Suit and Track Suit figures have been hard to find ever since launch, but you can order them for retail price at Entertainment Earth right now ahead of their re-release in March.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

2021 marks the 20th anniversary of the Xbox, and to celebrate the occasion, Bloomberg spoke with more than 20 people involved with the creation of the console. It's a fascinating read that is stuffed with interesting insight, one part of which was that Microsoft wanted to collaborate with Nintendo, and potentially even buy the Japanese company.Former head of business development at Microsoft, Bob McBreen, said Microsoft reached out to a number of companies to discuss an acquisition many years ago, the first of which was Electronic Arts. They said "no thanks," according to McBreen. Nintendo also declined to get acquired, and the meeting apparently did not go so well.Former Xbox executive Kevin Bachus said then-Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer told senior staff they needed to travel to Japan to speak to Nintendo about a potential sale.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Even though it was well advertised long, long in advance that The Office would be leaving Netflix starting New Year's Day 2021, the popular NBC sitcom's move back home to mothership app Peacock has come with some unexpected new pricing tiers that the service has just unveiled geared directly at Office fans.Three very reasonable pricing levels for the streaming service--under the banner "Pick Your Peacock"--have been rolled out and are as follows:There are a few unusual things that leap to mind when looking at this announcement. Chief among them is how most readers will likely need to squint and double back to re-read to understand that paying for access doesn't just get you access to The Office, but also the rest of Peacock's still growing library. The other main thing to notice is that the free tier only gets you access to The Office's first two seasons--which feels a little like getting short changed given that creator Greg Daniels has, starting with Season 3, created "superfan" cuts of episodes.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

It's one of the longest running jokes for Madden fans. A CPU team with a veteran quarterback steps up to the mic during the first round of the draft and picks another QB. The team is filled with holes and they choose not to fill any of them.Madden CPU AI has always been flawed and Madden 21 is no different--but EA hopes to change that. A new update is bringing improved QB draft logic alongside other changes to the only licensed football game."We have added new logic checks that CPU teams will use to guide whether they should even be interested in drafting a QB when they’re on the clock in Round 1," EA said in a statement sent to GameSpot. "Now, teams will evaluate their roster and previous draft picks of the last two years to keep teams from replacing players too soon."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

If the ongoing supply issues and resurgence in cryptocurrency mining isn't enough to make grabbing a new graphics card challenging, prices for them might soon be increasing in the US to make stock even harder to come by.The price increase might soon affect numerous GPU manufacturers, as waivers that kept trade tariffs at bay have now expired. President Trump instigated a trade war with China in 2018, which would've increased GPU prices had companies not applied for waivers to prevent it. Those waivers expired, however, this month, meaning tariffs between 7.5% to 25% can now be applied to all PC hardware.ASUS is the only company that has acknowledged this right now, writing to customers to explain why they might encounter higher than expected prices on products.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Dungeons & Dragons wouldn't be what it is without dragons. It would just be "Dungeons &," and that doesn't sound very complete, no matter how many Kobolds try to fill that void. WizKids has been producing some dynamite miniatures of famed dragons from the D&D universe, but soon you'll be able to pick up the biggest one yet--Arveiaturace--an extremely detailed and beautiful Red Dragon. But, they're not really that miniature.If you've been traversing Icewind Dale, there is a chance you may have had a random d20 encounter with the ancient white dragon known as Arveiaturace--which is pronounced "Arr-vee-AH-turr-ace" or simpler yet "RV Otter race," which has me picturing something wildly different than an ancient dragon. Known as the White Wyrm to the Ten-Towers, she makes her home on the Reghed Glacier. On her back is the Mysterious Rider, a wizard once known as Meltharond. I say "once" because he's dead. That's right, this giant dragon has a frozen corpse on her back.Gallery Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

If you're old enough to remember the early 2000s, you probably have fond memories of playing Flash games to while away the hours at your job or at school. As many longtime Flash fans know well by this point, Adobe officially halted support for the longtime multimedia platform back on December 31, citing security flaws and the existence of better tech. However, one prolific Flash developer took an unusual step to preserve their work: porting it to the original Game Boy.That game is Anthony Lavelle's IndestructoTank, and you might have hazy memories of it from your youth, as I do. It's a grounded shoot 'em up similar to Defender or Moon Patrol, only your tank is completely invincible, and your goal is to bounce onto your enemies' heads continuously so you don't run out of fuel. The Game Boy port obviously limits the game's color palette, and the on-screen action is a little bit tighter, but it plays just as I remember.Though the ROM will work on a real Game Boy, for the rest of us, Lavelle has provided an emulator that works in your web browser on his Itch.io page. As a whole, Lavelle exhibits a sense of humor about the demise of Flash in a recent AMA, but it's clear that he still has a lot of love for the platform. Arguably best-known for the puzzle game Shift, he says that Flash is the reason that he got into making games, and there will never be a tool quite like it.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

You'll have two fewer options to watch Netflix starting later this year. The company has announced plans to stop supporting the Nintendo Wii U and 3DS starting on June 30, 2021. And if you didn't already have the app on those devices, now it's too late.In a statement, Nintendo gave word that Netflix removed its app from the Wii U and 3DS eShops on December 31, 2020. If you downloaded it in the past, you can re-download the applications and use them until support is discontinued on June 30.Netflix functionality is mostly ubiquitous, so you should have no trouble finding other devices with which to watch the service. But the pending absence of it on Nintendo devices is a reminder that years into the Nintendo Switch lifecycle, Netflix still hasn't come to the console. The console/handheld hybrid does support some other video streaming apps, such as Netflix competitor Hulu.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
