RELATED: Sci-Fi Games With The Most Immersive Settings Many iconic sci-fi actors pop up throughout the Mass Effect series. Most of them voice one-off or minor characters. Others, however, have major roles throughout the trilogy. Regardless of their screen time, though, fans should instantly recognize them. Their inclusion further emphasizes the passion that the developers have for the genre at large. 7 Keith David One of the first voices that players hear is Shepard’s mentor, Joseph Anderson....

One series that fans have crossed Pokemon with is Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling’s books took the world by storm, leading to a number of films and spin-offs films, becoming a big part of pop culture. Harry Potter is still going strong, especially with a new game called Hogwart’s Legacy releasing sometime in 2022, and is a perfect franchise to mix up with Pokemon.

There were a few hiccups (like the controversial officiating at the end of the first game), but for the first week of a brand new product, it wasn’t too bad. Johnny Manziel was the biggest name that attracted people to watch, but this league is filled with plenty of talented players, even if they aren’t household names. Both of the opening week games were close with the Wild Aces topping the Glacier Boyz 30-22 and the Beasts beating the Zappers 48-44....

The Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the conduct of Cpl. Kyle Hess, who was off duty, according to the Tulsa World.

To most sports fans, the NBA salary cap is incomprehensible–the limits can vary for every team as well as for players, based on years of service. But two years ago, Stern orchestrated an owners’ lockout to forge a new agreement that would hold down player salaries. Having kicked butt in the settlement, Stern has now sent a message to owners that he will be equally tough in defense of that deal....

Trophy and achievement hunters will be glad to know that the achievements seem pretty straight forward and drop the annoying achieve a certain level with a certain karma achievements that Fallout 3 had. Hacking terminals, repairing items, speech challenges, and lock picking gameplay elements all appear to returning with some new features like weapon mods. Here is the full list of the 50 achievements you will be working for in Fallout: New Vegas this October:...

Partnering up again with Pillars of Eternity publisher Paradox Interactive, Obsidian revealed Tyranny at this year’s Game Developers Conference. Set in a war-torn world ruled by the evil Kyros, players can choose to serve or betray Kyros, and the consequences of that decision will affect how the game plays out. Details beyond the game’s setting are scant at the moment, but Obsidian has stated that Tyranny will involve getting players to make tough, morally grey decisions, and that the game will come out some time this year....

Interestingly enough, the actual digits included in the fictional technology corporation’s listing is two numerals longer than a real world phone number, as it reads 1-888-4-VAULT-TEC, but even so, it still leads callers on a silly excursion. As far as what happens on the other end of the line goes, Fallout 4 fans can either give the fake tech firm a ring themselves, or listen to the recording below to find out....

While Bethesda is a game developer that’s become known for creating gigantic worlds, it’s their meticulous eye for small details that helps make those landscapes become more real and inhabitable. Taking that into consideration, the Maryland-based studio’s inclusion of the ability to customize weapons, armor, and settlements definitely gives Fallout 4 a more life-like and lived-in feeling. During a Bethesda.net interview from E3 2015, Fallout 4’s director, Todd Howard, discussed the intricate, and totally optional crafting system, explaining that practically every item players can interact with in the game ultimately has a purpose beyond monetary value....

Despite the utter calamity players can bring to the table with modifications, we find that one of the strangest occurrences in the wasteland has been in the game all along. Of course, we’re talking about the ridiculous amount of crashing vertibirds, who seem to spend more time exploding than actually transporting soldiers in the air. They look awesome at first, but most gamers quickly realize that the vertibirds are easy prey, and the biggest danger they present is accidentally crashing right on top of players on the ground....

Fallout 5, however, could stand to be in a better position than either Fallout 4 or Fallout 76. With the major RPG studios attempting to create a roleplaying experience which feels truly “next-gen,” the long wait for Fallout 5 could be its greatest advantage. RELATED: Fallout Character Funko Pops And How Much They’re Worth Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 It’s been no secret that the last two Bethesda-made Fallout games disappointed a lot of fans, particularly Fallout 76....

The studio reestablished that players will not be able to play Fallout 76 offline or if they disconnect for a “considerable amount of time.” However, if players lose connection due to a glitch or another technical issue and are able to reconnect to the game within a 10-minute timeframe, “it will automatically join you with your equipment or it will be left in half of what you were doing.”...

One of the reasons for the overwhelmingly negative response is that the game is unavailable through Steam, which inevitably caused a lot of displeasure among PC players. The game is also criticised for being empty and boring, for having a lot of bugs and glitches despite extensive Beta tests, and there are some complaints over the lack of NPCs in the game. Furthermore, Fallout 76 is criticised for its close resemblance to Fallout 4, where some fans feel that Fallout 76 is simply an extended mod for Fallout 4 with added online features....

According to Bethesda, this new mode will remove Fallout 76’s basic PvP restrictions. Players currently do reduced damage to “strangers” until the opposing party returns hostility, a choice made to prevent griefing parties that aren’t interested in PvPing. Players can also become allies with other players, preventing them from doing damage to each other. It’s unclear if the new PvP mode would erase all of these restrictions or just the reduced damage for strangers....

During a Fallout 76 portion of Bethesda’s PAX East panel, Todd Howard, the game’s director, told the story of a letter he received from one player that was particularly unhappy with the unrealistic representation of bobby pins within the game. The unnamed player sent a box of bobby pins to Howard, with a letter that simply read “weigh these.” While the letter and “gift” were likely meant to insult, Howard seems to have appreciated the gesture, stating that it’s the most “creative” letter he had ever received - apparently surpassing the gamer that pre-ordered Fallout 4 with bottle caps....

The evidence has come to light thanks to Fallout 4, where this easter egg can be found. If you’re still making your way through that game, beware — some mild spoilers from its early acts are required to properly explain how to access the crossover clue. Once the Brotherhood of Steel has arrived in Boston, players can ally with the faction and gain access to their airship, the Pyrdwen. That floating base boasts a research station to collect and assess samples of local plant life, and there’s one particularly interesting specimen being collected in bulk....

Images of the coastal carpet python were shared online by Joshua Castle, whose snake catching business was called in to remove the reptile from the vehicle. Castle, from Josh’s Snake Catching and Relocation in north Brisbane, posted the pictures to his Facebook page. “Forget fluffy dice!” he wrote. “Only in Australia would you come back to your car to see a coastal carpet python wrapped around the mirror. “A family left their window slightly opened while enjoying a family picnic to keep the car cool!...

The competition this year was tough with several games receiving top scores from reviewing outlets across the globe. Tsushima beat out Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, and Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin. Rounding out the top 5 was Fall Guys, the surprise indie hit that reached a massive amount of audiences when it released this past summer.

Thankfully, a newly-released Fallout 4 modification allows for weapon racks to proudly display a gamer’s arsenal along their walls, granting access to a feature which probably should have come along in the core game - especially considering weapon displays were a common feature in Skyrim. Bethesda’s latest update to the game may have broken many custom modifications that players have been using, but it looks like the weapon rack mod is safe for the time being from any game-breaking glitches....
