BioWare has detailed current and upcoming changes for Anthem, its loot driven shooter that officially released on PS4, Xbox One, and PC today. A post on the game's Reddit page opens by stating that the developer is able to make some fixes without the need for a patch, but notes that others will require players to download an update.In the former category, BioWare has already addressed a number of issues that were reported by the community, including a bug that displayed and rewarded the incorrect amount of Coin for some activities, and another that was causing rain to fall more often than intended. There has also been tweaks to the kind of items that chests drop, as well as how the shield performs, among other things.BioWare is also working on some other fixes which, as mentioned above, will require the player to download an update. These include an issue that would result in the final boss in the game's Heart of Rage stronghold not appearing, problems with HDR on PS4 and Xbox One, and game crashes. You can see the full list of live and upcoming changes below.Live ChangesCoin changes for daily/weekly -- We have fixed an issue that displayed and rewarded the incorrect amount of Coin from various activitiesStronghold matchmaking -- We have extended the timer that allows for matchmaking in a stronghold.

Both versions offered a 10-hour trial, and Origin Access Premier granted unlimited access. The game's general release is today, and if you're diving in, be sure to check out our Anthem combo guide.GameSpot's Anthem review awarded it 6/10. "Anthem has good ideas, but it struggles significantly with the execution," said Kallie Plagge. "It's a co-op game that works best with no one talking; it buries genuinely interesting character moments and puts its most incomprehensible story bits at the forefront; its combat is exciting until you get to the boss fights and find your wings have been clipped. Even the simple, exhilarating act of flying is frequently interrupted by the limitations of your javelin, and you never quite shake that feeling of disappointment--of knowing, throughout the good parts of Anthem, that you'll inevitably come crashing back down."Info from Gamespot.com

If you're a professional wrestling fan, the name Kevin Nash should be a familiar one. The WWE Hall of Famer has had a remarkable career, from holding the then-WWF Championship for nearly a year to being a founding member of WCW's New World Order. However, while he's been primarily a pro wrestler most of his adult life, Nash has also dabbled heavily in acting--primarily on the big screen with roles in movies like The Punisher, The Longest Yard, and both installments of Magic Mike.Now, though, Nash is trying something a bit different. Living the Dream is a British comedy that aired on the UK's Sky One Network, which finds him playing a retired pro wrestler living in a trailer park under new management--an upper-crust British family in over their heads. Thankfully for those who want to view the show in the United States, the Britbox streaming service is coming to the rescue. The entire first season of the series will be available soon.Ahead of the show's US release, Nash sat down to talk with GameSpot at the TCA press tour about everything from what appeals to him about British comedy to whether All Elite Wrestling can actually compete with WWE for dominance in the world of professional wrestling. Of course, we also couldn't help but ask about the time he played Super Shredder in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze.GameSpot: What is it that kind of drew you to something like Living the Dream?Kevin Nash: Well, when they pitched it to me, just the premise, like I could see humor in it... To me, if you're going to do a comedy, and they pitch the premise to you, and... without even seeing any of the script, you're saying, "Oh, that's going to be funny," where this was you could just see, you know... And then I didn't know who was attached to it or anything. And then I got there and met everybody, and it just one of things where just kind of everybody just kind of meshed.Obviously, so much of your career is very action-oriented, between your time in the ring and stuff like The Punisher and bunch of heavier action roles. Is it more fun to you at this point to sort of get the comedy stuff coming your way?I mean, the only thing that really bothered me about the show was that they pitched it to me, but I wasn't an ex-pro wrestler. We shot the first episode, and then they went, "Oh, by the way, episode three..." And I'm like, "You do know I just had my shoulder reconstructed." So, if you ever watch that scene back, in pro wrestling, you work everything right, so you punch right, everything you do it right-handed. So, that way there, if I say, "Punch block," you know that I'm going to throw right, and you block it. And I had to use my left. I'm a natural southpaw. I do everything left-handed, but work-wise, wrestling-wise, I had to do everything left-handed. And that was a long day. I mean, I was thinking to myself, "I've been out here a long time shooting this." I look my singlet off that night, and it had the farmer tan, and I was already dark.But you know, it was fun. Like anything, as time goes on, by the time episode five comes, you're pretty much like family. You know, you eat every meal together. And there wasn't much downtime. But they were cool.To me... Like, Longest Yard, they let me do comedy, and nobody wanted to play that part, and I said, "Gee, a comedic role in a comedy, that might be fun." Everybody else wanted to grunt and snort and be a badass. I'm like, "No, no, no, no, no. I've done that for 30 years. I want to show at least some kind of range." So, I said, any time that somebody hands me a script that I don't have an ax in my hand, I'm listening!And British comedy--which this is--is very different from American comedy. How easy was it to acclimate to that?I was such a fan of the British Office and was turned onto it early from a friend of mine and was given the DVDs, so I watched it... But also my step-father is Scottish, and they watched a lot of, you know, Benny Hill and my step-grandparents, they watch a lot of British comedy, you know? I think my era, growing up in the '70s, in high school, like Monty Python and all that, it's different, but it's British comedy, if you get it... Some people just don't get it.I've also been over in that culture so much. I've probably wrestled in the UK 200 times. Especially when the economy was really bad, when I first broke in, like '90, '91, '92, '93. I mean, I've done an 18-day tour, come home, do three days of TV, and then go back and do a 15-day tour. Mostly in the UK, but we'd go to Austria and Germany and other places, but you know, it kind of kept us alive. And the UK, it translates very well, that industry. It's still, like now, the developmental, which is NXT for the WWE, they've got NXT UK, they've got a performance center now in the UK, they've got their own branding, basically.You've been a part of some wrestling moments that tend the test of time, real game changers. The business, right now, is at an interesting place between WWE's women's revolution, the rise of the indy scene, and people like Cody and the Young Bucks launching All Elite Wrestling. With so many people striving to be at the forefront of the business, how important is it to be different?Nash: You know, I think that the WWE is always going to be a flag-bearer. I think when we made the run with [Ted] Turner['s WCW] against Vince [McMahon], Vince, he was a private company. We just basically out-moneyed him. We kept buying his stars. WCW didn't make any stars. They just bought Vince's stars. And that's the whole thing now is the Bucks and guys like that, I think it's great, and people are like, "What do you think? It's just going to be another Monday Night War?" I'm like, "Dude, they've done one pay-per-view, you know? Vince is getting ready to go on Fox."Which is insane.Absolutely. I go back to TV, and it's six months since I've been at an event, and it looks like the Super Bowl. We used to have two production trucks. There's like 30 production trucks now. I mean, it is amazing just from a production standpoint. We had seven cameras. There's 17 or 19 cameras now, you know?As somebody said, it's great if you've got good talent that can put on live performances, like the Bucks and Cody and Omega. I think having Jericho there that's been part of the Monday Night Wars, his career has kind of crossed those two paths, I think he'll be instrumental in kind of guiding that. But at the same time, it's just like it's one thing to have a good live event like they had in Chicago. It's another thing to have the money. I heard the father gave the son $100 million to start. We used to go through that in about seven months at Turner, you know? And just like that don't go too far. We'll just have to see.I mean, New Japan, like Ring of Honor, when you see their shows, their television shows, they look like the old ECW from 1990. So, if it has that look, it won't be competition. The thing with Nitro was Nitro had a look that was comparable to, you know, production quality-wise was comparable to Vince's product. But if you're nowhere in the ballpark... And I sat there at WrestleMania last year. That thing was, I mean, it was longer than the Crusades. But I just sat there, and I just watched the production, the pageantry, the costuming. I mean, just every aspect of it. I was just like, this like Cirque du Soleil meets live theater meets ultimate fighting. There's such a hybrid, and there's nothing like it, and it's such Americana. Pro wrestling, there's nothing more American than pro wrestling. It's been on TV since the conception of television, and it's never been off. So, it ain't going nowhere.I think it's great, because right now, I've heard that there's guys that are getting, you know, like Vince is locking in people for more money, for longer periods, because there's somebody that's got another checkbook. So, for me, I'm a [tax form] 1099, so anytime somebody's upping the ante for guys, I don't care how long.The last thing I wanted to touch on was your first movie credit. Before Big Daddy Cool or a member of the New World Order, you were a comic book villain. You played the Super Shredder in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze. Do you have any fun memories from back then? I'm dying to know what wearing that costume was like.The people that made the original Batman outfit made the Super Shredder outfit. So, that cape is latex, but it's double-lined latex. That cape weighed about 105 pounds, was bolted onto you. So, when you put that thing on... Like, they used to put me in everything except the helmet, take me to set, and I would sit in the back of a pickup truck gate, and they would take me to set, because there was no way I could walk that far. That thing was so heavy.I don't remember if it was a rib or what, but the first scene I ever shot, they brought me in, only me, on Saturday, and all I did was took this hand, went through that wood, went like this, and made the first movement. They had me do that for six hours. I don't know if they did it, and it was just like, "This guy doesn't know. We'll just see how long he'll do it." And I'm like walking over, I'm looking at the takes, and I'm like they all look eerily similar! Maybe they just wanted to get some overtime, I don't know what it was, but it was at my cost. I mean, I look back, and like doing comic-cons and stuff like that... I sign a lot of Secret of the Ooze VHS boxes.You were an action figure!Before I had a wrestling action figure, I had a Super Shredder action figure. And people say to me, they'll say, "I bet you've never seen one of these before," and I say, "I have a box of them. I have seen those." Did I see any royalties? No.Oh no!No. They owned it. There's no likeness.Living the Dream premieres on Britbox later this year.Info from Gamespot.com

Fallout 76 has now been out for 100 days, and Bethesda has a surprise in store for those still playing. The studio has unveiled the 2019 roadmap for Fallout 76, which includes three large content drops scheduled throughout the year. The full roadmap can be found on Fallout 76's website, but we've outlined the highlights below.On March 12, Fallout is getting its Wild Appalachia expansion, which includes two new quests and a game mode. The quests, Shear Terror and Ever Upwards, feature new stories for you to pursue; the former focuses on mythical monsters while the latter has you join the Pioneer Scouts and earn merit badges. The new game mode, called Survival, is a high-stakes PvP variation of Fallout 76's Adventure mode. Wild Appalachia includes several new features as well, including a means of exchanging your unwanted legendary gear for new legendaries, setting up your own store where you can sell to other players, and brewing and distilling your own recipes of Nukashine.In Summer 2019, Nuclear Winter comes to Fallout 76, and it brings another new game mode and features to the game. The new mode, also called Nuclear Winter, hasn't been detailed yet, but Bethesda has said it will "completely" change the rules of the Wasteland. A new prestige system will allow all level 50 players to pursue a new Legendary status and unlock more powerful abilities as well. Vaults 96 and 94 will also open, bringing challenging Raids to Fallout 76.This fall, Fallout 76 gets it final content drop for the year, titled Wastelanders, which Bethesda describes as "a tale with true choice and consequences" that includes "a new main questline, new factions, new events, new features, and even more surprises."In our Fallout 76 review, Edmond Tran wrote, "Bethesda has stated it intends to continue supporting the game for a long time, but at launch, Fallout 76 is a poor experience. There are echoes of the series' admirable qualities, but look past that facade, past the cute Vault Boy animations, past the familiar radio tracks, and you'll find no heart--just an inconsequential wasteland doomed to be nuked over and over again."Info from Gamespot.com

The United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) reportedly plans to host a public workshop on loot boxes, but declined to comment on whether it is conducting any formal investigation.Variety reports that a letter from FTC chairman Joseph Simons to Senator Maggie Hassan (D-NH) revealed the workshop, in response to a letter Hassan had written expressing her concern about the practice. Simons noted that he cannot reveal any legal action underway that isn't already public, but stressed that the FTC has other tools available."For example, we are currently planning a public workshop on loot boxes for later this year as one non-law enforcement option," he wrote. "A workshop could provide a forum for stakeholders representing wide-ranging perspectives, including consumer advocacy organizations, parent groups, and industry members. It also could help elicit information to guide subsequent consumer outreach, which could include a consumer alert."In a statement, Hassan praised the workshop as "a step in the right direction," but emphasized that the FTC should keep working with various stakeholders "to ensure that meaningful improveements are made to increase transparency and consumer protections."Last year, Hassan also wrote a letter to the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) asking it to look into the practice of marketing loot boxes to children, and to formalize best practices for microtransactions. Shortly after, and amid mounting pressure from other advocacy groups, the ESRB announced it would label games with in-game purchases.This workshop could be a sign that the controversy over loot boxes and microtransactions is far from over. 2018 marked a big shift in how the industry treated loot boxes. Following the launch of Star Wars Battlefront 2, concerns were raised regarding loot boxes resemblance to gambling, especially in games targeted towards minors. Some in the industry are pressing for change, though many feel it should come from self-regulation.Info from Gamespot.com

Anthem is very different from anything BioWare has made before. It abandons the company's choice-driven, single-player RPG formula in favor of a multiplayer focused game. If you've played some of BioWare's recent titles, like Mass Effect: Andromeda, you'll probably recognize the action-heavy third-person shooter mechanics.However, setting up combos in Anthem is very different from how you would in past BioWare games. This doesn't mean combos are any less important, though. In fact, they're probably an even more essential part of Anthem's combat than previous BioWare titles. However, the game doesn't do a very good job of explaining how its combo system works.With that in mind, and the game now being available on Xbox One, PS4, and PC, we've put together a guide on how combos work. For a more detailed impression of Anthem and how each of its systems work in tandem with each other, check out our review.How Combos WorkPriming and detonating combos isn't necessary for beating Anthem on the easier modes, but understanding how to do so can really help when your squad is ready to tackle the game's Grandmaster difficulties. Each Javelin also creates a different special effect when executing a combo, so know who's piloting what to bring the most pain during Freeplay or Stronghold missions.To combo in Anthem, you'll first need to know which of a Javelin's unique abilities act as a primer and which are a detonator. Primers set an enemy up for a combo. A detonator, meanwhile, will execute a combo. There are also standard abilities in the game, which neither prime nor detonate, and the Storm's Ultimate attack--Elemental Storm--is both a primer and detonator. In-game, primers are marked in the Forge customization window with a circle icon, and detonators are identified by a four-pronged star. If you don't see either symbol, then the ability is neither a primer or a detonator and just does damage.Both primers and detonators can be used alone and still cause enemy damage, much like a standard weapon. However, you'll want to execute combos as often as you can to do the most damage in the shortest amount of time. Some enemies tend to be bullet sponges and take a while to kill with firearms alone, so detonating a primer on them is a much easier way of dealing with them.Detonating an enemy won't remove a primer's effect either, so you don't have to worry about neutralizing status effects by pulling off a combo. If you freeze a group of enemies with a Ranger's Frost Grenade, detonating the combo with a Colossus' Lightning Coil won't unfreeze them. You will have to prime the enemies again for another detonation, but the ice status effect remains until it naturally fades away or its melted via a fire-based attack.Javelin Combo EffectsBecause each Javelin creates its own unique special effect when it detonates an enemy, in combat, you should know when to combo and when to let a teammate take the lead. Each Javelin and their corresponding combo effect are outlined below.Ranger -- Critical Target Damage: Detonating an enemy causes more damage than any other Javelin's detonationColossus -- Explosion: Detonating an enemy causes an explosion which damages all nearby enemiesStorm -- Spread: Detonating an enemy causes an explosion which spreads the enemy's elemental status effect to nearby foesInterceptor -- Aura: Detonating an enemy causes its elemental status effect to imbued into your Javelin, which can then be spread to nearby targets through proximityEach Javelin's Role When Setting Up A ComboIdeally, you'd have Ranger handle all of the detonations when fighting a boss, as its combo effect allows it to do the most damage on a single target. Colossus, Storm, and Interceptor, on the other hand, are great for handling mobs of enemies bunched up together.That's not to say these roles can't be reversed, though. Ranger's Ultimate, the Multi-Target Missile Battery, hits a bunch of enemies and is a detonator. If you prime a mob, you can do huge amounts of combo damage with this attack. Conversely, Storm and Interceptor's combo effects are ideal in situations where a boss is joined by enemy mobs. Also, Colossus' Ultimate, Siege Cannon, launches three detonators, which can do a lot of damage if your teammates can quickly prime a boss between each shot.Each Javelin's melee attack needs to be taken into consideration as well. The Ranger's Shock Mace is a primer, while the Colossus' Heavy Smash, Storm's Fiery Strike, and Interceptor's Bladed Daggers are all detonators.Going Solo Vs. Being A Part Of A TeamIn Anthem, it's good practice to have at least two loadouts for each Javelin, one for solo play and another for when you're with others. Because when by yourself, you want a Javelin that can both easily prime and detonate so you're not scrambling against high-powered foes. For example, it's not the best strategy to play by yourself with a Ranger armed with Inferno Grenade and Venom Darts--both of which are primers--as then you'll only be able to detonate a combo with the Javelin's Ultimate. It's a great loadout, however, when playing with another player who's armed with a powerful detonator.By yourself, one of the best Ranger loadouts is Frost Grenade and Seeking Missile if you prefer fighting from long range. This loadout will allow you to keep enemies in place and detonate them from afar. For close range, consider Inferno Grenade and Pulse Blast. Colossus has a devastating solo build with Lightning Coil and Flamethrower, and it'll put you right in the enemy's face where the Javelin can do the most damage. Interceptor, who also excels at close-range, has two solid solo loadouts: Cyro Glaive and Tempest Strike for those who prefer to shoot firearms or Venom Spray and Spark Dash if you enjoy using melee attacks and a hit-and-run playstyle. You've got a ton of choices for solo builds with Storm, since most of its primers and detonators are really good and can be mixed and matched. Info from Gamespot.com

You'll shoot a lot of guns in Anthem, but the best and most fun part of combat is using your javelin's special abilities with your teammates to execute combos against bad guys. These combination attacks do massive damage and create status effects on enemies to turn the tide of battle, and each kind of javelin suit gets its own benefits from a successful combo. The Ranger have increased power against a single enemy, the Colossus creates an area-of-effect explosion, the Storm can transfer status effects to multiple enemies, and the Interceptor gets an aura that afflicts any nearby enemy.The trouble with combos in Anthem is that the game isn't very clear on how they work. We've got a complete combo guide to help you make the most of your javelins' abilities, but for a top-level understanding of how to execute combos, you just need to know about two things: Primers and Detonators. Primers are abilities that set up a combo; Detonators are abilities that trigger them for massive damage and other effects.The big question is, how do you know if an ability is a Primer, a Detonator, or neither? Anthem provides that information for you when deciding what gear to add to your javelin's loadout, if you know where to look. You'll sometimes see an icon next to the name of a gear piece--that's how you know if it can be used in a combo or not, and what its function is.Primers are marked by a circle icon with a dot inside that kind of looks like a bullseye.Detonators have icons beside them that resemble throwing stars, like an explosion.When you use a Primer in the field, you'll know an enemy is ready for a combo when a red icon appears next to their nameplate. The icon will also tell you what status effect the enemy is suffering from because of the Primer, like freezing or burning. Using a Detonator on enemies with those icons will trigger the combo.It's not a hard-and-fast rule, but you'll want to generally try to bring a Primer ability and a Detonator ability with you on every mission. That way, you can set up combos for your teammates, complete the combos they set up, and even "self combo" where you use Detonators on your own Primers. Combos are what make Anthem fun and especially at later levels and harder difficulties, they're essential, so make sure you're picking the right gear for your javelin to make the most of them.We've got plenty more Anthem coverage coming in the days ahead, including more guides to make you the best javelin pilot you can be. Until then, check out our Anthem review.Info from Gamespot.com

Only a few days remain in Season 7 of Fortnite, which means time is running out to complete any outstanding challenges from this season. If you've managed to finish at least 60 weekly challenges, you'll receive the Legendary Prisoner skin, but it also has a few different variants that you can unlock by completing an additional set of hidden tasks.As with other Season 7 content, you'll need to complete these Prisoner challenges before the season ends next week on February 28 to unlock the different variants. The game isn't clear as to what these tasks actually are, but they're fairly straightforward once you know where to look.As you can see in the image above, there are three additional variants for the Prisoner skin on top of its base look, and they must be unlocked in a specific order. The game doesn't outright tell you where to go or what to do to unlock them, but it involves equipping the skin then visiting specific areas of the island and interacting with certain objects.To unlock the second stage of the Prisoner skin, you'll need to go to the castle atop Polar Peak. Land there at the beginning of a match and make your way inside to the top floor, where you'll find a room furnished with bookcases, tables, and a fireplace. On the far table will be a key; interact with it and you'll unlock the second stage.To get the third stage, make your way to the desert on the other side of the island. Atop the mountain north of Paradise Palms will be a campfire (just as pictured in the week 10 Snowfall challenge loading screen). Light it and you'll unlock the third Prisoner variant. We recommend doing this step at the start of a match, as if another player lights the campfire before you arrive, you won't be able to use it again that round.For the fourth and final stage, you'll need to go to the northeastern corner of the map, to the mountain north of Wailing Woods. There you'll find a stone pedestal of sorts ringed by a circle of torches. After you've unlocked stages 2 and 3, step in the center of the ring and the torches will automatically ignite, thus unlocking the final variant.You can see exactly where you need to go to complete each stage of the Prisoner challenge on the map below. You can also watch us complete each step of the challenge in the video at the top of this guide.As previously mentioned, Season 7 of Fortnite officially ends on February 28, so you have until then to complete any remaining challenges. If you need a helping hand, you can find tips and guides in our complete Season 7 challenges roundup. You'll also want to complete all of the game's Overtime challenges before the season ends; doing so will allow you to get the Season 8 Battle Pass for free.Info from Gamespot.com

Captain Marvel is still a couple weeks away from flying into theaters as the first Marvel Cinematic Universe movie of 2019, but we're learning a few things about what it was like to work on the set. More specifically, what it was like to work with Reggie, the cat who plays Goose in the upcoming film.During a press junket for Captain Marvel, the cast revealed that their lovable, furry castmate wasn't the best to work with for the two human stars of the movie. "No, I am not a cat person," Samuel L. Jackson explained. "But I'm also not a dog person or a fish person either... Reggie is like most animals that people bring to the set that have been trained to do this, that, or the other. He's snack orientated. He shows off. You give him something to eat, you talk softly and nice to him, give him something to eat again. There were actually four cats, but Reggie did the majority of the heavy lifting, most of the time."While Jackson put aside his animal bias to be a professional on set, the other star of Captain Marvel had severe troubles working with Reggie and the three other cats who played Goose. Jackson explained that Brie Larson had more problems with the cat than he did. "Not personally," Larson explained. "I'm severely allergic. It's not sort of like 'diva,' we couldn't work together."Luckily, Jackson didn't reveal anything big this time around. Back in January, he let it slip that Captain Marvel can time travel. We'll learn more about that and Goose's role in the film when Captain Marvel hits theaters on March 8, but check out the first reactions to the movie on Twitter.Info from Gamespot.com

Niantic has announced the first details for next month's Pokemon Go Community Day. The event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, March 23, and as usual it'll only run for three hours. This time, however, Niantic is doing things a little differently with the event hours.Up until now, the time that each previous Community Day took place was designated for an entire region; for instance, North America's events would run from 11 AM - 2 PM PT. March's event, however, will run everywhere from 3-6 PM local time. This should make it much easier to remember when the event is happening, as you won't need to convert the event hours to your time zone as you previously had to.Niantic has also revealed the featured Pokemon for March's Community Day. This time, it'll be the Gen 3 Grass-type starter Treecko. Throughout the event, Treecko will spawn more frequently in the wild than it normally does. Based on past Community Days, players will presumably also have a chance of finding a Shiny Treecko.Moreover, if you manage to fully evolve Treecko into its final form, Sceptile, up to an hour after the Community Day ends, it'll know a special event-exclusive move it wouldn't be able to learn in Go otherwise. Niantic hasn't confirmed what this move will be, but previous Grass Pokemon that have been featured during Community Days all learned Frenzy Plant.In the meantime, Niantic has a lot of other events lined up for Pokemon Go. First, the Legendary Pokemon Latias has returned to the game for a special Raid event from February 22 to March 1. On top of that, the developer is hosting a new Limited Research event on February 23 that will give players their first chance to capture Clamperl. Niantic is also introducing a new Team Medallion item to the game next week that will let players switch teams--but only once a year.Info from Gamespot.com

Captain Marvel isn't just another entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's the second movie in the company's history taking place decades in the past. The upcoming movie centers around the Earth during a very important decade, the 1990s.Aside from the super rad '90s-inspired website the movie got, the cast and crew came together to lament the past at a Captain Marvel junket recently. They were asked what they missed about the '90s. Director Ryan Fleck said he missed VHS tapes, while Samuel L. Jackson simply said, "Laserdiscs."Director Anna Boden remembers a world where we were less connected as she talked about one thing she greatly missed: "Pay phones because then I wouldn't have to check my email all the time," she explained. One thing Brie Larson mentioned was butterfly clips, while Jude Law missed the band The Verve, who had a hit with their song "Freshman.""I wish MTV had videos again," explained Clark Gregg. "I mean not just '90s MC Hammer, which were awesome. But just videos, music videos."Since Captain Marvel takes place during this time period, you can expect a lot of references to the '90s, but will the movie have the courage to discuss the greatest game of the decade, pogs? Or maybe there will be a scene of Nick Fury playing with some Gak. More than likely, there will be a bit of nostalgia in the film.Take a trip back in time, which is something Jackson revealed Carol Danvers can do, when Captain Marvel hits theaters on March 8, and check out the cast's problem of working with a cat and what people's first impressions of the movie are.Info from Gamespot.com

The MCU may not be known as the most romantic shared universe in film history, but there are still some truly heartwarming love stories to be found beyond the glitz and glamor of heroes punching villains and saving the world--and Captain Marvel is no different. But the love story that pans out for Carol Danvers might not be the one you expect.The connection between Carol and her airforce comrade Maria Rambeau (Lashana Lynch) is what Brie Larson calls "the great love of the movie." She continued at the Captain Marvel press junket in Beverly Hills, "Without being too showboating about it, theirs is the love lost and this is the love found again. This is the reason to continue fighting and to go to the ends of the Earth. [For Carol] that's her best friend and her best friend's daughter.""I've seen the movie with some friends and there's that moment, they left the theater like, 'Oh, Maria's the love,' and I'm always like 'Yeah!'" Larson continued, "It's not something that we made a big deal about, but we didn't need to--that love is just so strong. [...] It's like the movie totally shifts when Lashana is on screen. There's a level of power that she commands in [her performance.]"So where does that connection stem from? Lasha Lynch pointed out the importance of Carol and Maria's shared experience and history together, which has been teased in the trailers. "They're both military, they both come from these male dominated worlds. There's that energy between them that draws them together. They also have the same sarcasm," Lynch laughed. "That's the best thing about Brie's representation of Carol, she's just this normal person. She's sarcastic, she's dry, she's funny."Larson was quick to pick up that even without their shared military history, Carol and Maria would have likely wound up being friends--but the ability to lean on each other and support each other is key. "Going through what they went through together, going through military training, being the only women, being able to lean on each other and support one another was so important. The recognition of their experiences--it's really special."This specific brand of deeply resonant friendship viewed as a type of "love story" isn't exactly new for the MCU--the connection between Maria and Carol has echoes of the relationship between fan favorites Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes, but Carol doesn't have a Peggy Carter to juggle in the mix. But whether or not Maria and Carol will ignite with a fan following similar to the "Stucky" enthusiasts remains to be seen. "Mariol" or "Caria" certainly has a nice ring to it.There's certainly the possibility for Maria to have a presence in future MCU films--or the possibility for her daughter, Monica, to return. Both Maria and Monica have some comics history as heroes in their own right, and as an adult Monica even held the Captain Marvel mantle for a while in the comics. The time jump between Captain Marvel's 1995 setting and the modern MCU has plenty of room for exploration built in--so there's always a chance.Captain Marvel hits theaters on March 8th and is the final entry into the MCU before Avengers: Endgame on April 26th.Info from Gamespot.com

BioWare has announced what players can expect to come to Anthem in the next 90 days. For the next three months, which BioWare is calling Act 1, Anthem is getting several freeplay events, cosmetics, missions, and quality of life improvements.For the rest of February, BioWare has three freeplay events planned for Anthem. The first, There Be Giants, is already live and it spawns four uniquely powerful titans in the world for you and your friends to hunt down and destroy. Both Outlaw Outrage and Shaper Surge are also scheduled for this month.March is when a lot more content starts to drop. Both There Be Giants and Outlaw Outrage will return to freeplay. However, two new events, both unnamed, will premiere as well. March also sees Anthem get the first phase of its Legendary Missions, and new item rewards for completing contracts. The Elysian Stronghold caches will start containing new cosmetics as well, allowing you to customize your Javelin's look in different ways.In April, seven new freeplay events come to Anthem, as do even more rewards for you to earn and an expanded progression system. The second phase of Legendary missions come out as well, along with a new Stronghold--titled The Sunken. Social play also gets an update, with weekly stronghold challenges, leaderboards, and guilds getting added to Anthem. More freeplay events, missions, and item rewards are planned for May in Anthem's biggest planned content drop this year--the Cataclysm. This massive event was first teased in Anthem's gameplay reveal at E3 2017.In our Anthem review, Kallie Plagge gave the game a 6/10, writing, "Anthem has good ideas, but it struggles significantly with the execution. It's a co-op game that works best with no one talking; it buries genuinely interesting character moments and puts its most incomprehensible story bits at the forefront; its combat is exciting until you get to the boss fights and find your wings have been clipped. Even the simple, exhilarating act of flying is frequently interrupted by the limitations of your javelin, and you never quite shake that feeling of disappointment--of knowing, throughout the good parts of Anthem, that you'll inevitably come crashing back down."Info from Gamespot.com

Anthem's multiplayer focus represents a fairly massive change of pace for BioWare, which is best known for its choice-driven, single-player role-playing games. The developer's newest game even reminds you that it's best played with other people whenever you switch from Public play to Private. That said, you're still probably going to get a better experience playing by yourself--at least initially.In Anthem, you'll experience the story via a repetitive cycle. You'll talk to some NPCs in Fort Tarsis, get your story mission, head out in your javelin, hear some more narrative details over your radio, complete the quest, and be forced back to Tarsis to talk to some more people and get your next story mission. It's actually not all that different from how you complete the story in Mass Effect: Andromeda or Dragon Age: Inquisition, aside from being forced back to your hub area upon completing a quest. In theory, experiencing Anthem's story piece by piece with your friends is a cool idea, but in practice it usually results with you missing crucial details.If you decide to play Anthem with others, you're going to find yourself regularly shushing your companions or muting them entirely lest they speak over an important conversation. You're probably also going to be yelling at them to wait for you. If your allies get too far ahead of you, the game informs you that you're being left behind and will teleport you so that you can catch up. Getting teleported throws you into one of Anthem's many loading screens, during which you can miss out on a portion of an important in-game conversation or cutscene. This means it's not in your best interest to explore Anthem's world while playing the story if you're with others. Journeying into a mysterious cave or reading a text log typically results in being left behind and missing out on story beats as a consequence.As said before, you also can't start your next story mission until you return to Fort Tarsis and speak to the NPC who has your next quest. However, plenty of other minor characters populate Fort Tarsis--some carry side quests, while others are just fun to talk to. Some of the stories you hear from the NPCs in Fort Tarsis represent the best bits of narrative in Anthem. But again, it's hard to hear them when you have friends chatting in your ear--especially if they're egging you on to hurry up and just unlock the next mission so you can all get back to taking down enemy hordes and soaring through the skies. Every part of Anthem's story just becomes so rushed when you're with others.Where playing with friends does help, though, is when you're ready to tackle the endgame content. Destroying a titan with devastating combos composed of various primers and detonators set up by a team of Ranger, Colossus, Interceptor, and Storm javelins or tackling one of the more lengthy Stronghold missions are some of Anthem's best instances of gameplay. Although there are moments of idle radio chatter between your freelancer and some NPCs during the endgame missions, none of them have any major impact on understanding or appreciating Anthem's story. By the time you've completed the story and unlocked most of Anthem's endgame content, you should be close to level 30 as well, which allows you to tackle the more challenging Grandmaster difficulties where you can find the best loot and weapons in the game.So if you're set on jumping into Anthem, consider playing through the campaign the first time on your own. Playing the game on Easy or Normal makes combat a breeze--even Hard isn't all that difficult solo, but you'll have to be more strategic with how you play. Once you've gotten through the story at your own pace, then invite your friends to join you in tackling any leftover side missions you haven't completed, or jump into the Grandmaster difficulties and start grinding freeplay world events and Strongholds for loot with your fellow freelancers. It's not the way BioWare wants you to play Anthem, but, for now, it's the best way.If you're still on the fence about picking up the game, check out our Anthem review. Kallie Plagge gave the game a 6/10, writing "Anthem has good ideas, but it struggles significantly with the execution" and remarking how it's "a co-op game that works best with no one talking."Info from Gamespot.com

While playing Anthem, keep track of what you and your team are doing in freeplay mode. The game will cap how much experience you earn for world events, so doing a bunch in a row isn't in your best interest.In Anthem, you stop earning experience for completing world events after completing your third in a session. You should be returning to Fort Tarsis on a regular basis regardless in order to turn in your loot, see what you've found, level up, and reconfigure your Javelin. However, if you and your friends realize that you've been playing long enough in freeplay to complete three events, just head back to Fort Tarsis to reset your counter before continuing to play. That way, you'll be able to keep gaining the experience bonuses that are unlocked for completing world events.BioWare has announced what's coming to Anthem in the three months post-launch. There isn't much planned for February and March outside of additional freeplay events, new cosmetics, and Legendary missions. However, April sees Anthem getting a new Stronghold called The Sunken, as well as a huge social play update that adds weekly Stronghold challenges, leaderboards, and guilds. In May, the Cataclysm, an event BioWare has long teased will affect Anthem in numerous ways, will begin in the game.If you've picked up Anthem and you're looking for more tips on how to play--given how little the game actually tells you--be sure to read through our guides.
