They're very similar to Imps except they can fly, so strafe to avoid their projectiles and use the Heavy Cannon to shoot them out of the sky.

As the situation surrounding the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic continues to evolve, many around the world are now spending much more time at home whether they're working or simply self-distancing from others. As such, lots of users are streaming video from home to pass the time.That much streaming video could, potentially, overload internet bandwidth. In an attempt to curb that before it becomes an issue, the European Union commissioner for internal market Thierry Breton revealed he spoke with Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, asking for the streaming to downgrade video quality to standard definition when "HD is not necessary."Important phone conversation with @ReedHastings, CEO of @NetflixTo beat #COVID19, we #StayAtHomeTeleworking & streaming help a lot but infrastructures might be in strain.

A new set of Fortnite Season 2 challenges is now live. Week 5 brings us the first batch of Meowscles Mischief challenges, and while a number of them have you doing cat-like things like consuming fish and surviving high falls, one of the more involved missions asks you to visit three different locations: Shipwreck Cove, Flopper Pond, and the Yacht. If you're not sure where those are located, we've put together this guide to help you out.Where Are Shipwreck Cove, Flopper Pond, And The Yacht Locations?Unlike Week 5's other location challenge (which asks you to visit Coral Cove, Stack Shack, and the crash site), the three areas you need to visit for this mission are spread out all over the island. The easiest to find is the Yacht; it's the giant boat in the middle of grid square H1.The other two areas are a bit more obscure. Shipwreck Cove is in the lower southeast corner of the map in grid square H7, while Flopper Pond can be found just northeast of Holly Hedges, in grid square C5. We've marked down where all three areas are on the map below.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Kings Canyon is coming back to Apex Legends (again), starting tomorrow. From March 20 through March 23, the Season 2: Battle Charge version of Kings Canyon will return to Respawn's battle royale game--giving you time to practice on the map in the casual playlist before it replaces World's Edge in the Season 4: Assimilation Ranked Series split on March 24.This will be the first opportunity to play on Kings Canyon since Evo Shields were added to Apex Legends outside of System Override's Deja Loot limited-time mode. These evolution-focused body shields are now a permanent add-on to Apex Legends in all of its playlists--which is great, considering their positive effect on the in-match meta.All hail the King(s Canyon) 👑Squad up and drop in on Season 2 Kings Canyon starting tomorrow, March 20, through March 23. See you Legends there. pic.twitter.com/BTvsKunl5h — Apex Legends (@PlayApex) March 19, 2020Since the move to World's Edge at the start of Season 3: Meltdown, Apex Legends has seen the return of Kings Canyon several times for limited-time events or weekends. Given Respawn's desire to present more options to players when playing Apex Legends (like adding Solos or Duos as permanent modes) in the future, it's possible the developer could be using these temporary returns to the battle royale game's original map to test how to best implement two maps at the same time.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Epic has been giving away free PC games on a weekly basis since December 2018, but the distraction feels needed more than ever these days. The latest pair of free games--The Stanley Parable and Watch Dogs--are available to claim now, but Epic has also revealed the two games we can look forward to snagging next week. Figment and Tormenter x Punisher will be free starting March 26 at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET until April 2. To claim any Epic free games, you just need a free account, and afterward, they'll be yours to keep.Figment is a gorgeous action-adventure game with hand-drawn environments and a fantastic soundtrack. It takes you on a trip through the human mind, which is illustrated with trippy, colorful visuals reminiscent of M.C. Escher and Dalí. You'll take control of a mopey drunk named Dusty, who must navigate this strange world fighting nightmarish enemies who aim to spread fear and overcome mental obstacles, growing into a heroic guardian by the end. The game earned a 7/10 in GameSpot's Figment review."Figment is at once lighthearted and deep. It reminds us that dark things may lurk underneath otherwise pleasant surfaces, that grumpy egos may populate the shuttered houses of an otherwise beautiful mind," wrote critic Leif Johnson. "Sometimes Figment seems a little too silly for its ambitions, but that frivolity never manages to fully drown out its overarching message--that if we persevere and have a little faith in our abilities, things will likely turn out well in the long run. Or, at least, we'll learn how to live with the pain."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to spread, one risk to emergency service providers is a shortage of supplies like the face masks that keep them safe as they treat patients. The gaming hardware and accessory manufacturer Razer is planning to step in and do its part, by shifting some of its production capacity to make and donate up to one million surgical masks.In a thread on Twitter (via Kotaku), CEO Min-Liang Tan said that designers and engineers at the company have been working long hours to convert their production lines to make the surgical masks. It's starting with Singapore where Razer is headquartered, and regional offices will be reaching out to government and health authorities to plan how it will prioritize the distribution of the masks."All of us have a part to play and we should be doing whatever we can with the situation getting more serious," Tan says. "This emergency conversion of some of our lines and donation of masks is the first step of many that will take. We are committed to contributing our extra time, resources, effort and talent toward the fight against COVID-19."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

GameStop has issued a memo to its stores instructing them to remain open during the coronavirus outbreak, even if that policy defies state orders. According to the note, if authorities attempt to shut down the games retailer by deeming them "non-essential," managers are to respond that the company views it as "essential retail." The instructions included a flyer to hand to law enforcement in case the need arises.Vice reports that the memo was verified by five employees. The retail chain's reasoning is that it sells products that are helpful during this time when customers are being ordered to maintain social distancing. (Note that GameStop sells more than just video games.) However, continuing to remain open at all runs contrary to social distancing, and employees will need to interface with several customers, posing a potential public health risk."Due to the products we carry that enable and enhance our customers' experience in working from home, we believe GameStop is classified as essential retail and therefore is able to remain open during this time," the memo states. "We have received reports of local authorities visiting stores in an attempt to enforce closure despite our classification. Store managers are approved to provide the document linked below to law enforcement as needed."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
