Way to go, Guardians Remember when we told you thatDestinyplayers had raised $400K for the Nepal Earthquake Relief effort? Well, it gets better. It gets a lot better. Sales of the $30 t-shirt — of which $15 went to the cause — have now topped $1M, which includes $50K donations from both Activision and the Bungie Foundation. In total, donations amounted to a staggering $1,026,006.80. “This was an astounding act of generosity on the part of Bungie and the larger Bungie community, and we at Direct Relief are deeply grateful — beyond what can be expressed in words,” said Thomas Tighe,Direct Relief‘s CEO....

Blizzard hasreleased details on the upcomingDiablo 32.76 PTRthat will be running August 15-August 29. More specifically, this update highlights what will be coming toDiablo 3Season 29: Visions of Enmity. If you’ve played anyDiablo 3season you’ll quickly notice this upcoming season looks pretty monumental in comparison. On the flip side,Diablo 4‘srecently released first season,Season of the Malignant, is pretty lackluster. I’ve gotta admit, it’s a bit odd that after a decade of 28 pretty simplistic seasons forDiablo 3, we’re just now getting a feature-filled season that includes a new mode, an intriguing new seasonal theme, and some bigger class balance changes....

New area Blizzard has dropped its 2.3.0 patch forDiablo III, which brings a number of enhancements to the current-gen and PC versions of the game. You’ll find the new area the Ruins of Sescheron, new difficulty levels, ability and monster tweaks, and a new Kanai’s Cube crafting system. Season 4 will happen soon, and you’ll be able to track your progress through the Season Journey interface, which is divided into chapters and broken up with achievements and portrait rewards....

You could say it Survived Fear struck among theDigimonfaithful when news surfaced of yet anotherDigimon Survivedelay. As it turns out, it was just a media-side gaffe. The new issue of “Weekly Famitsu” states thatDigimon Survive‘s release window is TBA, when previous issues said 2020. That rightly led to people assuming it had suffered another delay. It wouldn’t be all that crazy consideringDigimon Survivewas already delayed in 2019, and no one’s working situation is completely normal right now....

Good news if you’ve been growing impatient, particularly as we’re already halfway through July. Yay. The confirmation came viaTelltale’s Twitter account, which also dropped a handful of new screenshots for us to admire. All-new screenshots from@GameOfThrones: A@TelltaleGamesSeries – Ep 5 of 6 – ‘A Nest of Vipers’ – (Set 1 of 2)pic....

Minecraft competitor? Don’t get cocky Someone think about the children! Likemy own personal brand, LEGO is a family-friendly,name-stealingcompany. And so the open-ended,Minecraft-like builderLEGO Worldshas some problem what with immature idiots’ propensity to build cock.Idiots like this one. And so let’s strap in for a story fromHot Tin Roof: The Cat That Wore a Fedoradeveloper Megan Fox who remembers one of the things that killed the last LEGO MMO,LEGO Universe, after hardly a year....

Bug Catching is a fairly underutilized aspect in a lot of farming simulators, but it’s pretty central in Fields of Mistria. There are a huge number of Bugs to be caught, and if you want to fill out the Insect Wing of the Museum, you’ll need to pick up a bug net. On that subject, Bug Nets are the only tool that cannot be improved upon. Just in case you’re thinking about spending your precious Iron or Silver ingots to upgrade a Bug Net – don’t bother....

Now they’re releasing after Super Mario Run in December I think I playedMiitomofor precisely one day.Pokemon Gohad me obsessed for weeks, but then burned out fast. How willSuper Mario Runfare? Better, I think. You can play it while eating a hamburger! But as far as Nintendo’s mobile plans are concerned, it’s the next two titles — new adaptations ofFire EmblemandAnimal Crossingfor iOS and Android — that I’m most interested in. Assuming they have some meat on their bones (more a concern for the latter than the former), I’d love to play ’em on the go....

With some bonus Run the Jewels Our second look at Horde mode inGears of War 4is much, much betterthan our first. The co-op survival mode will have five players fortifying positions with a mobile Fabricator tool and fending off creatures and even robots across 50 waves. Interestingly, The Coalition has chosen to go class-based for Horde 3.0 — you’ll play as either Sniper, Engineer, Soldier, Scout, or Heavy. Reactions already seem torn on that detail, but I’m willing to give it a chance and hear the full story there....

Fimbulwinter, here we come The follow-up to Sony Santa Monica’sGod of Warhas to be one of the most anticipated games of the past few years, and as we get closer and closer to thatNovember release date, fans are getting a closer look into what the game has to offer. The last story nugget we got was from the game’s cinematic trailer, which confirmed that players will be able to visit all nine realms, but nowGod of War: Ragnarokhas been listed on thePlayStation Store(initially reported byThe Gamer), so we can finally get a look at the full story synopsis....

That your PC can’t handle In case you were concerned that visually-stunning mech shooterHawkenwould run well on your computer, you can always turn on the PhysX options that will ensure amazing visuals and mournful performance (for most). In this video distributed by Nvidia, new particle effects, bullet turbulence, and floating embers are shown off. It’s really impressive to see in action — well, at least on Nvidia’s computers, not mine. However, there is a copy-and-paste element to the particle effect that lacks the subtly I expect to come of next-gen....

It’s part of an intro treasure hunting sequence Ever since Stranglethorn Vale,World of Warcrafthas allowed itself to take on an increasing amount of “treasure hunting/adventurer” style themes, and the Dragonscale Basecamp is the home base for that stuff inWoW Dragonflight. Here’s how to kick that questline off and find the Golden Dragon Goblet in the process. Step one: Talk to Cataloger Jakes in The Waking Shores First, you’re going to need Archeologist Artifact Notes....
