Fortnite players are ready for Halloween. A few risky players have gone trick-or-treating by ringing doorbells at random houses across the map, hoping they won't get shot at once the door opens.My friend and I went trick or treating in Fortnite and this is how it turned out... from r/FortNiteBRTwo players rolled up to one house, built walls around them for protection, and then decorated their little enclosure with spider and spider web sprays in the clip above. They knocked on the door, emoted, and waited for the door to open. The player inside the house greeted the players with healing items."It's great knowing that there are still players who want to have fun instead of killing you on the spot," said Redditor ghosty300. Halloween has flooded the battle royale genre this week. Halloween decorations and limited time modes have popped up in Apex Legends, and Call of Duty: Warzone. It's rumored that a Fortnitemares update, that will bring special challenges and modes, will come to Fortnite on October 21.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

October marks the scariest month of the year, and that means WWE will be getting the most spooky with its PPVs. And what's the scariest PPV of all time? No, not Halloween Havoc or Great Balls of Fire! We're talking about Hell in a Cell, a PPV where a giant red chain-linked fence encapsulates the ring.On Sunday, October 25, the Hell in a Cell enters the Thunderdome. So it will be a cell, inside a dome, inside the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida. This is dangerously close to WCW's Tower of Doom match. Anyway, Hell in a Cell will feature a few matches from inside the titular cell, and here are the start times across the globe.Start time:5 PM PT7 PM CT8 PM ET12 AM GMT (October 26)11 AM AEDT (October 26)Like most PPVs, there will be a Kickoff Show prior to the main card. However, you'll be able to watch that on YouTube and on WWE's Twitter page for free.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The 1988 adventure Willow was George Lucas's next big fantasy movie after he'd wrapped up the Star Wars trilogy five years earlier. Although the film wasn't a big box office hit at the time, it has since developed a cult following, and there have been various rumors of a potential sequel over the years. It's now been confirmed that Disney+ is making Willow TV show.As reported by Variety, the Willow series will be set many years after the film and will once again star Warwick Davis as Willow Ufgood, the film's heroic main character. Ron Howard, who directed the movie, will executive produce, while Crazy Rich Asians director Jon M. Chu will helm the pilot. The showrunners will be Jonathan Kasdan, who co-wrote Howard's Star Wars spin-off Solo, and Wendy Mericle, who was co-showrunner on The CW's Arrow. The show will start production next year.In a statement, Chu said, "Growing up in the '80s, Willow has had a profound effect on me. The story of the bravest heroes in the least likely places allowed me, an Asian-American kid growing up in a Chinese restaurant looking to go to Hollywood, to believe in the power of our own will, determination and of course, inner magic. So the fact that I get to work with my heroes from Kathleen Kennedy to Ron Howard is bigger than a dream come-true. It's a bucket-list moment for me. Jon Kasdan and Wendy Mericle have added such groundbreaking new characters and delightful surprises to this timeless story that I can't wait for the world to come along on this epic journey with us."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Can you believe 2020 is almost over? It's been a wild year of not leaving your house and spending most of your time binging Netflix. As November rolls around, you'd probably be expecting plenty of new content revolving around Thanksgiving, right? So far, what's been revealed for Netflix's November list is a bit heavier on Christmas content. Hopefully, when the full list for November is dropped, we can get some movies about singing and dancing turkeys or something.The most notable Christmas movie arrives at the end of the month on November 25. The Christmas Chronicles 2 takes place a couple years after the first movie where Kate (Darby Camp) and Teddy Pierce (Judah Lewis) saved Christmas. Now Santa (Kurt Russell) and Mrs. Claus (Goldie Hawn) need the kids' help again with another adventure. Check out the trailer below.Also coming to Netflix in November is Dawson's Creek. While the classic Paula Cole song "I Don't Want To Wait" won't be accompanying the show in its move from Hulu to Netflix, 128 episodes featuring James Van Der Beek as Dawson Leery will be headed to the streaming service--and only one of those episodes features that signature cry.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Xbox Series X's 1TB internal SSD is really fast, loading up some games in a matter of seconds--I tested this out in several games in my full console preview and got impressive results. But with 802GB actually free to use on the internal drive, you can fill it up quickly with the size of games today (and don't forget the Xbox Series S only comes with a 512GB drive). So, what are some good solutions to expand your storage on the new Xbox consoles and how do they perform in comparison?I used three different drives for the purposes of my tests: the 1TB Seagate SSD expansion card, a Samsung T5 portable SSD (500GB), and a Western Digital My Passport external hard drive (4TB). This covers the different tiers of storage options available for the Xbox Series systems. To test and compare speeds, I used Final Fantasy XV and The Outer Worlds for transferring whole games and recording load times. You can check the results in the video and text below.Table of Contents [hide]1TB Seagate Expansion Card1TB Seagate Expansion CardLet's start with the proprietary Seagate 1TB expansion card, built specifically for the Series X and Series S. This is the drive that plugs directly into the back of the console. You just insert it, and it's immediately ready to use.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

According to a new release, the Mighty Powers will be "morphing" into a new connected universe of movies and TV adaptations. Jonathan Entwistle, co-creator of Netflix's I Am Not Okay With This, has been tapped to shepherd these upcoming new entries in the long-running series, which is sort of brilliant since the Netflix series similarly delves into high schoolers dealing with puberty and budding superpowers. Entwistle will be directing these projects across both formats."Jonathan has an incredible creative vision for this iconic and hugely successful franchise, and is hands down the right architect to join us as we reimagine the television and film worlds of this property," eOne Film President Nick Meyer and eOne Global Television President Michael Lombardo said in the joint statement. "Across our slate, we are looking forward to working with the most talented storytellers as we take on Hasbro's rich fan-favorite brands and build entertainment universes around them."Production company eOne was purchased by Hasbro in 2019 and has, as this announcement makes clear, been making a greater effort to further develop their properties. There's a ton of nostalgia for the Power Rangers, whose first entry as Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, debuted in 1993 as something of a cult classic. (It's unclear whether these projects will connect with the 2017 Power Rangers movie.)Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Netflix has announced that The Office's Rainn Wilson will be executive producing and narrating a quirky new competition series titled We Are the Champions. The show, which is slated to debut on November 17, will feature "unusual competitions around the world… including cheese rolling, chili eating, fantasy hair styling, yo-yo, dog dancing, and frog jumping," according to Variety. In other words, the show sounds like an attempt to try to wind 2020 down with a light-hearted salve to what will no doubt be an exhausting final few weeks of the year."We Are the Champions' celebrates weirdness, finds beauty in idiosyncrasies, and demonstrates what it really takes to rise to the top: heart," Wilson said. "As a self-proclaimed expert on the unconventional, I'm excited to introduce viewers to these small-world competitors with big-world dreams because, in this time, we could all use a hero--be it a dancing dog or the world yo-yo champion."Chris Uetwiller, CEO of the show's production company, Dirty Robber, added, "In a TV landscape that can be rather formulaic at times, We Are the Champions represents something refreshing and different." He also emphasized that the show is about storytelling that will surprisingly move people, asking, "Who knew people would ever be moved by cheese rolling?"Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

It's the question on the minds of so many theme park fans: When will Disneyland reopen? While there is still no set date, the state of California has revealed the guidelines that must be met in order for the parks to open. This comes after Disney announced it was laying off 28,000 workers, partially blaming the state for not allowing them to reopen. Don't get too excited, though, as it may still be some time before the gates open--a possibility Disney is unhappy about.As announced by California's Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly, via The Hollywood Reporter, theme parks will be able to open at 25% capacity when the counties they exist in reach Tier 4 (yellow) status in the state's four-tiered system. The guidelines to achieve Tier 4 status are less than one new daily case per 100,000 people and less than 2% positive tests.Currently, Orange County--home to Disneyland--is in Tier 2 (red), which means there are 4-7 daily cases per 100,000 people and a 5-8% positive test rate. Universal Studios Hollywood is in Los Angeles County, which is currently Tier 1 (purple) with more than 7 daily cases per 100,000 people and a positive test rate of over 8%.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Even though Fortnite is no longer the flashy new gaming trend, it remains one of the most popular games in the world. To call Fortnite a phenomenon would be something of an understatement; it has become a gaming staple much like Super Mario was when Nintendo's plumber dominated the conversation in the late '80s and early '90s. For that reason, if you have kids on your shopping list this holiday season, it's a pretty safe bet that at least one of them is a Fortnite fanatic.Fortnite: Battle Royale is a free-to-play game, so all you need to start playing is a console, PC, or smartphone--though recent legal battles between Apple/Google and Epic Games have threatened Fortnite's playability on mobile devices. But even though the battle royale game is ostensibly free, there are plenty of Fortnite gifts that are sure to make fans happy this holiday season. From safe bets like in-game currency to action figures and Funko Pops to gaming chairs and board games, our Fortnite gift guide covers a lot of ground to help you pick out the best gift possible. Fortnite V-Bucks $25-$40 The easiest and best Fortnite gift you can buy is in-game currency. Fortnite V-Bucks can be spent on Battle Passes and cosmetics. Anyone who is a dedicated Fortnite player has probably spent some cash on the free-to-play game. V-Bucks are compatible with every platform, so you can't go wrong here. See at Amazon Fortnite: The Last Laugh $30 As Fortnite is free-to-play, it may seem odd that there are retail editions of the game, but they serve a purpose for dedicated fans. Fortnite: The Last Laugh is the latest bundle, and it releases November 17 for all major consoles. Though you get a standard game box, it doesn't come with a disc. Instead, it includes a code that unlocks 1,000 V-Bucks and a bundle of in-game Joker-themed cosmetics, including an outfit back bling, multiple harvesting tools, and much more. Fortnite fans who love Batman will certainly appreciate this bundle.

See at Amazon Fortnite High Stakes-R Rocker Gaming Chair $210 (was $250) This Fortnite chair is a bit different than your average gaming chair. As a rocker, it's designed for the living room rather than your desk. With that in mind, it's more spacious, with a wider frame and plushier feel. It reclines to roughly 120 degrees, so it's great for both gaming and lounging. See at Amazon Fortnite Nerf Guns $25-$50 Nerf has released a number of dart guns based on weapons in Fortnite, including the Sp-R, which comes with a trio of Loot Llama targets to aim at.

Following the wave of Twitch's July DMCA takedown notifications, many streamers on the platform have received another round of emails warning them of copyright infringement on their channel. Instead of issuing account strikes, Twitch automatically deleted the content flagged. The platform went on to state that this is a one-time warning and advises users learn copyright laws.the Twitch DMCA bloodbath has begun, as hundreds of partnered streamers have received emails from Twitch as DMCA takedown notifications pic.twitter.com/zoIoI7Q7Xp — Rod Breslau (@Slasher) October 20, 2020In other words, recipients of the email did not receive any long-term penalty--a strike--on their channel. Twitch also did not let users file counterclaims, which apparently is a policy that Twitch will keep going forward. In a tweet, the platform stated that it will continue to automatically delete any clips that contain copyrighted music without attaching strikes to accounts.This content was identified and deleted for you, in accordance with its obligations under the DMCA. Going forward, Clips that are identified as having copyrighted music will be deleted without penalty to help ensure you do not receive DMCA notifications from rights holders. — Twitch Support (@TwitchSupport) October 20, 2020The situation is a little confusing, since if this email is a "one-time warning," what will Twitch be doing differently moving forward? If Twitch keeps its current policy of automatically deleting clips/VODs with copyrighted music, it appears that you probably won't get your channel closed if you have copyrighted music in past clips and VODs. (Though to be on the safe side, Twitch advises you to delete any clips you think might contain copyrighted material.) Your livestreams, however, could still be flagged with DMCA takedown notifications.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
