The first trailer for American Horror Story Season 10 has been revealed. The season is titled American Horror Story: Double Feature, and it premieres in August.As the title suggest, American Horror Story: Double Feature will feature two stories, which the official tagline describes "one story by the sand and one story by the sea." This striking poster definitely suggests the season's aquatic horror vibe, and shows some kind of weird, alien-like creature--with a fish for a tongue-- getting intimate with a fanged woman, who could possibly be a siren or perhaps a mermaid. Check it out below:new horrors have arrived. @AHSFX: double feature premieres aug 25 on FX, streaming next day #FXonHulu. #americanhorrorsummer pic.twitter.com/iYyNnkK0Mp — FX Networks (@FXNetworks) June 24, 2021American Horror Story: Double Feature premieres on FX on August 25, with episodes streaming on FX on Hulu the following day.

World of Warcraft: Shadowland's long-awaited patch 9.1, Chains of Domination, is set to release on June 29, and when it does, it will introduce a new system that is already causing players to howl in frustration.It's called Shards of Domination. In 9.1's new raid, the Sanctum of Domination, players can acquire new pieces of gear that have Domination sockets, which can then be infused with Shards of Domination for powerful passive effects. Players can equip up to five pieces of gear that each have a Domination socket, and doing so is definitely in the best interest of players because of how powerful the effects of the shards are.The issue with this new system is that gear with Domination sockets may take up a gear slot that is already occupied by a player-crafted Legendary item. Legendary items, of which players can only have one equipped, also give players powerful, unique effects they won't want to give up. Over the last seven months, players have spent hundreds of thousands of gold and dozens of hours farming the expansion's rogue-lite dungeon Torghast for the required Soul Ash material needed to upgrade their Legendaries to their highest item level. Now, Blizzard is essentially telling players they will need to do all of that work again to recraft that same Legendary in a different item slot, one that won't be able to equip a piece of gear with a Domination socket.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

A new update for Borderlands 3 has rolled out on most platforms that makes some changes to the looter-shooter, particularly enabling cross-play support.Cross-play lets users on PC, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S play together through SHiFT Matchmaking. Because of that, players must create a display name--which has to be unique, between 3-16 characters long, and contain no special symbols--to enable the feature. The display name can be changed on the SHiFT website or in the game's menu. Back in May, publisher Gearbox Software said cross-play would not launch on PlayStation consoles, and it remains unclear if the feature will hit PS4 and PS5.The new update also bumps up the maximum level cap to 72. There are now 70 more skill points for players to play around with.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Video Game History Foundation has shared a look at what the video game black market looked like in the 1990s. On Twitter, the nonprofit organization focused on preserving the history of video games shared images of a mail-order catalog selling bootleg Nintendo cartridges with multiple games on them.Nintendo managed to stop the importing of most bootleg "multicarts" in the 90s, but some got through! Here's an extremely rare surviving example of a mail-order catalog aimed at kids. "Pass this flier on to your friends! They'll owe you a big favor!"(a gift from @TomFulp) pic.twitter.com/85GiedzeCD — Video Game History Foundation (@GameHistoryOrg) June 24, 2021The catalog from Games Unlimited Company offered cartridges with multiple games, ranging from 16 to 110 games on a single cart. The Video Game History Foundation noted that these games were likely coming from Canada because the flier mentions not being able to get the games "without a plane ticket to Canada." The 110 game cartridge cost $138, which is slightly more than one dollar per game, a steal in the 1990s and in 2021--literally.The flier also advertises the Game Genie, which was barred from sale in the United States at that time. The organization also shared a Game Genie ad where Camerica "thanked Canada" since that was the only way for an American to acquire the device at the time.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The cast for Damien Chazelle's new movie Babylon, set in 1920's Hollywood during the movie industry's transition from silent films to talkies, is now further expanding to include Olivia Wilde (House), director Spike Jonze (Her), Phoebe Tonkin (The Vampire Diaries), and Tobey Maguire (Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy), according to The Hollywood Reporter. Babylon is expected to hit theaters on Christmas Day in 2022.These names, impressive on their own, join an already swelling ensemble that earlier this month added Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers, and The Handmaid's Tale's Max Minghella. While the movie's plot is still largely under wraps, it has been confirmed that the Paramount film will carry an R rating.Chazelle is the writer-director behind Whiplash and La La Land. Given the increasingly high-profile nature of his projects, all that's known about Babylon at this point is a lengthy list of names and a loose premise--joining the likes of Knives Out 2, which is similarly swirled in mystery but commanding marquee names. Although, in many ways, Babylon is certainly shaping up to be much stranger--its cast boasts both Flea and Eric Roberts.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Adjusting Apex Legends' Maps Based On Fan Feedback Has Been A "Benefit For Us," Says Design Director
In the Apex Devstream for Apex Legends' upcoming Genesis event, Respawn revealed that it's been much easier for the team to make adjustments to the battle royale game's maps since Season 7. With three maps now in rotation in Apex Legends, Respawn can take a whole season to discuss how a map should be altered based on community feedback."We only had Kings Canyon at first," design director Jason McCord said during the stream. "In Season 2, we needed to do a map update--I was working on that, probably pre-launch of the whole game. So I didn't know what to tackle--besides our own playtests--for what I would change, what the designers wanted, and whatever everyone else would want to see different."McCord went on to say that he had to make "blind assumptions" in those early days, hoping to correctly guess what players would want to see changed based on little available data. "Which is really scary," he said.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
