The wife of *********** vice presidential candidate JD Vance, Usha Vance, called her husband out on Fox and Friends for liking the trading card game Magic: The Gathering—but it’s not a secret. Games are a binding force in the universe that brings all walks of life together under a common goal: play and have fun. Politicians are quick to call out a name brand or side with a celebrity if it helps build their reputation, but it’s unusual to hear about the games they play, as games can still be generally perceived as nerdy or dorky. Ainsley Earhardt from Fox and Friends and Usha Vance reiterated this perception by saying Vance has “dorky interests.” View the full article
Over the last year, C.J. Stroud has quickly become one of the biggest names in professional football. He’s won over droves of NFL fans with his expert game knowledge, hilarious personality, and competitive nature—and in Madden 25, he’s one of the best QB options on the field as well. As a 22-year-old rising star, there are plenty of expectations for Stroud as he looks to lead the Houston Texans’ promising offense in the upcoming season, especially with lethal weapons in his wide receiver room such as Stefon Diggs, Nico Collins, and Tank Dell.

There seems to be a wave of retro racers around recently, and each one seems to pick a particular target to ****** with its nostalgia ****, whether Wipeout or Lotus or Micro Machines or whatever else. Maybe I'm forgetting some classic arcade racer, but Victory Heat Rally feels less laser targeted and more a modern take on the spirit of the genre. It's a 2.5D, "neo super scaler" arcade racer with split screen, drifting, car tuning and a lot of pep. Read more View the full article

A huge consideration for Pokémon Go players is Shadow Pokémon and whether you should purify them or keep them in this darker form. It’s a difficult decision when Legendary Pokémon receive this form, such as Shadow Cresselia.

Much like it did a couple times late last year, Larian has compiled some strange and interesting bits of data about how you all managed to get surprisingly weird in a game that's surprising and weird even when you don't go out of your way to get turned into cheese—which 1.9 million people did...

Characters from the Chapter 5: Season 3 battle pass. | Image: Epic Games Epic Games is making a major change to Fortnite’s battle passes that should remove some angst if you can’t buy or complete a pass before the end of a season. Fortnite’s battle passes offer a bunch of exclusive in-game rewards that you can only obtain during an individual season, but that means you might miss out on rewards entirely if you can’t level up enough or don’t buy the pass before it expires. To help alleviate that pressure, Epic announced on Wednesday that items from future battle passes might be available for purchase in Fortnite’s item shop at least 18 months after the pass expires. Epic’s battle pass policy adjustment is intended in part to let people buy outfits featuring licensed crossovers, even if they miss a season’s... Continue reading… View the full article

Companions and their romance arcs have become a defining feature of Baldur's Gate 3, but one infamous scene in particular has been triggered by an astounding number of players. Halsin is one of BG3's romance options, a druid who joins the adventure in Act One, but doesn't become a member of the party proper until Act Two. His Wild Shape ability sees him turning into a bear most often, at least in cutscenes, and his inability to control it at certain times has lead to his romance arc becoming notorious, but nonetheless popular.

At the moment, a lot of the story details about the Nation of Pyro in HoYoverses action RPG are still very blurry and open for interpretation and discovery, but there are heavy rumors that, despite Mavuikas leading status in Natlan, she is not the true Pyro Sovereign, even if she is the Archon.

Baldur's Gate 3 players seem to really love or hate the wizard from Waterdeep. While Gale is a fairly popular romance option for players of the popular turn-based RPG, he's a character who frequently finds himself in need of assistance during battle before his build has been properly fleshed out. That said, his iconic earring and purple robes have made him a fan-favorite to cosplay, and one Reddit user took a unique spin on the wizard's look. View the full article

It’s been one year since Baldur’s Gate 3 launched, and now, developer Larian Studios has revealed how players chose to navigate their journey through its Dungeons & Dragons video game. The studio unveiled a smorgasbord of stats in a lengthy X/Twitter thread. While it includes interesting data related to Baldur’s Gate 3’s soul-crushing permadeath Honour Mode and which characters fans favored over others, it also reveals that 1.9 million players were, at one point or another, turned into a wheel of cheese. Another crucial stat update reveals that while everyone’s favorite dog, Scratch, was **** 120 million times, The Owlbear Cub and His Majesty the cat received only 41 million and 141,660 **** attempts, respectively. What matters most, though, is that we now know just how everyone chose to approach the game's romance options. Over the last 12 months, you’ve smooched your companions a total of 75 Million times. Please give them a break, their lips are losing pixels. [Hidden Content] — Baldur's Gate 3 (@baldursgate3) August 7, 2024 Larian’s posts include a nice selection of romance-related figures. Baldur’s Gate 3 companions have been kissed more than 75 million times in total, with Shadowheart leading the pack at a whopping 27 million kisses. Astarion is, unsurprisingly, in second at 15 million smooches, with poor Minthara in last with 169,937. We also have a look at some stats about Halsin, Larian’s infamous Druid character. Of the 658,000 players who had **** with Halsin, 70% chose to sleep with him in his human form, while the other 30% chose his grizzly bear form. In all of Baldur’s Gate 3, Astarion proved to be the most-played as Origin being at 1.21 million characters created with him to start. That’s a lot of High Elf Rogues running around, but Larian does clarify that 93% of players did choose to create their own custom character when beginning an adventure. Meanwhile, while 141,660 players managed to complete Honour Mode, a staggering 1,223,305 playthroughs ended in a loss. As for some of the more important story moments achievable in Baldur’s Gate 3, 3.3 million users managed to ***** the Netherbrain, while another 1.8 million chose to betray the mind-flayer emperor. Interestingly, only 34 players who chose Lae’zel as their Origin character also chose to ***** themselves at the end of the game. Astarion has been your favourite Origin character avatar, shortly followed by the wizard of Waterdeep and, of course, ****’s favourite princess. However, over 93% of players chose to play as a custom avatar. Nice. [Hidden Content] — Baldur's Gate 3 (@baldursgate3) August 7, 2024 Baldur’s Gate 3 is a game of near-infinite possibilities, and that’s one of the biggest reasons players fell in love with it last summer. Despite so much to offer at launch, Larian has continued to deliver more content in post-launch updates, with many speculating that Alfira may be added as a new companion when Patch 7 arrives soon. While we wait for Larian to expand on the already massive world of Baldur’s Gate 3, be sure to read our 10/10 review. At the time of its launch in July 2023, we said, “With crunchy, tactical RPG combat, a memorable story with complex characters, highly polished cinematic presentation, and a world that always rewards exploration and creativity, Baldur's Gate 3 is the new high-water mark for CRPGs.” Michael Cripe is a freelance contributor with IGN. He started writing in the industry in 2017 and is best known for his work at outlets such as The Pitch, The Escapist, OnlySP, and Gameranx. Be sure to give him a follow on Twitter @MikeCripe.

Roblox is a ****’s game. But that apparently hasn’t stopped the Turkish government from banning the massively popular sandbox title in the country a few days after similar bans were passed on social media sites like Instagram and Wattpad. According to several Turkish outlets and thousands of disgruntled Roblox players on social media, a ban on Roblox went into place in Turkey today, Aug. 7. The move follows similar bans on different social media sites, sparking censorship concerns for players and general observers alike.
