Wasteland 3 continues to be updated, with the post-apocalyptic RPG receiving patches like the one inXile called "Save Scummer's Delight" , which reduced load times by up to 60 percent, and one that buffed the swearing parrot and cyborg chickens . The next update is called "Death & Taxes" , and will bring Wasteland 3 up to version 1.3.3. If you've already finished the game and are looking to make things harder, this sounds like the update for you. It's adding a permadeath mode, which will mean members of your party who bleed out can't be brought back by a doctor or a convenient nitro spike jammed in their heart. If every Ranger in your party drops, it's game over. As inXile explains, "This is because the light of life has been extinguished from the party and the forces of evil have triumphed. Unless you were the forces of evil, in which case perhaps the forces of light and good prevailed when they killed you." Permadeath will be a singleplayer-only option, as having … [Read more...] about Wasteland 3’s next patch will add more difficulty options, including permadeath

Netflix Exec Thinks Exclusive Theatrical Release Windows Will Go Away
Netflix product chief Greg Peters, who also became the streaming service's chief operating officer in 2020, says the company is poised to help lead the charge for further eroding theatrical windows preceding streaming debuts for content. Speaking with Deadline , Peters predicted, "It's what consumers want. It's hard to buck that trend for too long and I think that's eventually where things go." In December when competitor Warner Bros. announced it intended to put its entire theatrical line-up onto streaming services such as HBO Max, production companies, directors, and actors were predictably not pleased . It was also not exactly a shock to learn that Warner was reportedly trying to offset that surprising move by offering bonuses to stars impacted by the move to streaming-only releases-- one report had Denzel Washington receiving $20 million plus a backend fee , for example. In an interview, veteran director Christopher Nolan summed his feelings up bluntly, … [Read more...] about Netflix Exec Thinks Exclusive Theatrical Release Windows Will Go Away
This Gateway laptop with a GTX 2060 and 120Hz screen is back down to $799 again
This one pops up on sale every so often, and each time it does, I feel compelled to let you know about it, because $799 is a fantastic price for the hardware. The star of the show, of course, is the GeForce RTX 2060. It's slightly less interesting now that Nvidia has launched its GeForce RTX 30 series in mobile form, but still an exciting option in this price range. To put the price into perspective, the least expensive laptop with an RTX 2060 at Best Buy (non open box/refurbished, that is) is the MSI GS66 10SE, currently discounted from $1,500 to $1,100. It's a beefier config all around, though it should be, at $300 more than the Gateway Creator model highlighted here.

Halo-Branded Pringles That Taste Like An Extinct Bird From Halo: Reach Have Arrived
Microsoft's marketing machine for Halo Infinite is kicking into gear for a second time, following the late delay on the game last year. The company has now announced a partnership with Pringles, but it's for a flavor we never expected. Limited-edition cans of Halo-branded cans with the "Moa Burger" flavor are now available to buy only at Walmart. "Our latest shipments from Reach have arrived, so be sure to grab them while you can," Microsoft said in a tweet. According to the image from the tweet, these Pringles are the "wavy" version instead of the classic option. The "Moa Burger" is a reference to an in-game ad from Halo: Reach. Restaurants in the game's universe made burgers out of the flightless birds that call Reach home. Now you can eat them in chip form, and we can only imagine what they might taste like. The Moa was also a real bird that lived in New Zealand until it went extinct. Get the limited-edition @Pringles Moa Burger exclusively at @Walmart now!
