With the new Beyond Light expansion to Destiny 2 has come a new slate of powers called Stasis, which give players the ability to freeze and shatter enemies--and each other. In the case of the Warlock class, those abilities have been a little too powerful, allowing fireteams to ravage raid bosses and players to dominate in the Crucible. In Destiny 2's latest hotfix, Warlock Stasis abilities got a pretty universal nerf, and a few other issues got fixed along the way as well.Bungie shared the patch notes for Hotfix 3.0.0.3 on its website, where it ran down just how much the Warlock Shadebinder subclass is getting tweaked. The most significant changes are in the duration for freezes against other players in the Crucible, Destiny's player-vs.-player arena. Previously, getting nailed by Warlock Stasis abilities would freeze you solid for a full 4.75 seconds, which was pretty much a death sentence. After the hotfix, Warlock freezing abilities will lock you up for a much more modest 1.35 seconds.The Warlock Super ability, which allows players to shoot ice crystals to freeze enemies and then release a blast of energy to shatter them, has been nerfed as well. The duration of the Super has been reduced from 30 seconds to 24 seconds, which, paired with the reduction in freeze times, should make it a little less dominant in Crucible play. Bungie also reduced the damage created by freezing enemies, which should make it a little more realistic to survive getting hit by Stasis (and make it tougher for players to completely ravage bosses with ice).Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Every Animal Crossing: Wild World player had a familiar Saturday night routine. They'd head to the dusty old cafe in the basement of the museum to see K.K. Slider sing his little pooch heart out. Sometimes they'd take a seat at the bar and enjoy a cup of coffee.That's something they haven't been able to do in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Brewster, an owl who makes you coffee (and hires you to make coffee), isn't currently part of the game. "I miss sitting at coffee shops, it's one of the few things I miss because of COVID," said Redditor bimmersandbeans. "It would be lovely to visit a coffee shop in the game."A player-made coffee shop. Credit: Birne_HeleneThe Roost, the cafe where Brewster is found, have been a part of Animal Crossing: City Folk, Pocket Camp, and New Leaf. The cafe became its own standalone building in the 3DS version of the game, but there has been no sign of the coffee shop in New Horizons. Datamined info and even in-game dialogue have all hinted at the return of Brewster, but we've seen no sign of him in the eight months since New Horizons launched.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Director Robert Rodriguez has had a varied filmography over the years, from the horror of From Dusk Till Dawn and The Faculty to adaptations like Sin City and Alita: Battle Angel. Some of his most popular movies are Spy Kids series and The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl, and he's set to return to family sci-fi with his next film, the Netflix movie We Can Be Heroes. The first trailer has now been released.The trailer is fast and frantic, and manages to set up the plot very quickly. Essentially, the world's superheroes have been captured by aliens, and their super-powered kids must team up to get them back. These include Guppy, the daughter of Sharkboy and Lavagirl. It looks like a wild, hyperactive CGI-overload that will definitely appeal to younger viewers (and probably some adults too). Check the trailer out below.We Can Be Heroes stars Boyd Holbrook, Pedro Pascal, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, YaYa Gosselin, Christian Slater, Christopher McDonald, and Vivien Blair. In addition, Taylor Dooley returns as Lavagirl, with JJ Dashnaw replacing Taylor Lautner as Sharkboy. It hits Netflix on January 1.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Season 2 of the Mandalorian isn't as standalone as the first season was. While many casual fans may not notice, the Disney+ Star Wars series has plenty of connections to two animated series: The Clone Wars and Rebels. Mando can certainly be enjoyed as a standalone series, but placed into a greater context within the Star Wars expanded universe, it becomes a whole lot more exciting.Warning: There are some spoilers for the November 13 episode of The Mandalorian here as well as the Season 1 finale of the Disney+ show. Turn away now if you're not caught up.We saw the biggest connection in the Season 1 finale when Moff Gideon stepped out of a Tie Fighter holding the Darksaber--the weapon the very first Mandalorian Jedi used, which appeared on Clone Wars.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Filmmaker Ava DuVernay (Selma, A Wrinkle In Time) will be directing a recently announced adaptation of the comic series DMZ for HBO Max that is finally starting to take shape. News of the streaming service--which recently added Conan O'Brien to its roster--is coming via Variety, which is also reporting that the series will be a four-part limited series drama. Roberto Patino, the co-executive producer of Westworld Season 2, will serve as showrunner. Filling out other key roles on the show are stars Rosario Dawson (Sin City, Zombieland: Double Tap) and Benjamin Bratt (Coco, Law & Order).The comics series, which was originally created in 2005 by a creative team of writer Brian Wood and artist Riccardo Burchielli, chronicled a hypothetical Second American Civil War that turned the island of Manhattan into a demilitarized zone. Only, you know, it was totally speculative. Recast at this particular moment by DuVernay, it should be fascinating and exciting to see what she and Patino come up with."I couldn't be more thrilled to bring this epic to the screen with my boundary-pushing partners at WBTV and HBO Max, a sublime cast led by Roasio and Benjamin, and my partner and friend, the inimitable and ever-inspiring Ava DuVernay," said Patino in a statement (via Variety). "DMZ offers up an explosive playground which, more than anything else, exalts the resilience of community and the human spirit. I can't wait to welcome the die-hard fans of the comic books and new viewers alike to this intoxicating, haunting and inspiring world."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

While much of the attention these days from Sony is on the recently released PlayStation 5, its younger sibling is still getting some love. Sony has released the latest firmware update for the PlayStation 4, but, you guessed it, this one doesn't do much.PS4 version 8.01 improves system performance, but that's all there is to say. The one-sentence patch notes read, "This system software update improves system performance."The PS4's 8.0 update, which arrived in October, was much more substantial. Among other things, it introduced updates to party and messages, new free avatars, simplified parental controls, and enhanced two-step authentication that finally allows the use of apps.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Much like her on-again-off-again romantic interest, Vision, Wanda Maximoff AKA Scarlet Witch has been rocketed into the pop culture mainstream by her prominent role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe--and that spotlight is only going to get brighter now that she's making her way to her very own show. WandaVision is headed for Disney+ in 2021 and, with any luck, it will both help clear up some of the loose ends in Wanda's MCU story and establish her moving forward as she goes on to feature in more films, like Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness.On the big screen, Wanda's story has been relatively streamlined. She, like Vision, was introduced in Avengers: Age of Ultron as a Sarkovian refugee along with her brother, Pietro AKA Quicksilver, who had been subjected to human experimentation by HYDRA with the Mind Stone. It's not entirely clear how the experiments actually worked or why they gave the twins the powers they wound up with, but Wanda came out of the HYDRA facility with the ability to telekinetically move objects and manipulate people's minds. That last power was only featured once or twice, particularly in making heroes like Captain America fall into dream-like illusions--but it's still something worth keeping in mind.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
