Another similar fanbase: that of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. After grossing over $1 billion in just 16 days following its release, it’s safe to say that the modern military FPS has more devout followers than Activision knows what to do with - a Catch 22 if an overwhelming misstep starts a unifying protest. Fortunately for the publisher, Modern Warfare 3 has yet to experience any cupcake bake/online petition-inducing momvements just yet, but it’s not stopping an online group from inciting a 24-hour blackout of the popular multiplayer game come April 20....

RELATED: Video Game Villains Who Got Away With It This is why some titles throw in levels from the villain’s perspective. They often do so for story purposes–perhaps for a chilling what-if scenario. Fans then get to revel in destructive carnage, doing everything they couldn’t as the hero. It’s just fun to see how the other half lives. 6 Star Wars: The Force Unleashed To demonstrate the darker tone and earthshaking power on display, The Force Unleashed opens with Darth Vader attacking the Wookiee planet of Kashyyyk....

In addition to the co-op video, DICE has also unveiled a new teaser-trailer for Battlefield 3, a montage of action from a 64 person brawl on the Caspian Border map - that features plenty of gorgeous Frostbite 2.0 visuals and vehicular manslaughter (this time with jets). Details on DICE’s co-op offerings have been somewhat slim - relying on the limited reveal of “2 persons across 10 maps.” However, the fan-favorite developer was a little more forward with their presentation at Gamescom 2011 - offering-up glimpse at an escort mission type, various gameplay features that benefit from co-op mode (team takedowns, etc), as well as another glimpse at the PS3 version of the title (to put to rest all the speculation that DICE will dramatically under-cut the visual fidelity of the title for consoles)....

This error was quickly fixed by GameStop, but not before various users were able to claim free copies of Assassin’s Creed 3 Remastered across PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. The site legitimately let users put the Assassin’s Creed 3 Remastered copies in their carts, discounted the games by their asking price, and only asked shoppers to pay shipping. It’s unclear how many customers were able to take advantage of this “deal” but it received decent attention on Twitter....

Ultimately, it appears to be a glitch in GameStop’s user database, where shoppers were inadvertently opening up and/or refreshing their information and seeing names, orders, addressees, and potentially even credit card information for other GameStop users.

The saga of the video game retailer’s stock market fortunes began last week when an investment subreddit, r/wallstreetbets, made it their goal to drive the price of GameStop’s stock through the roof. Over the next few days, the price went up and down steadily, as the market attempted to adjust to the fluctuations. At one point, even individual investment entities like the Robinhood App attempted to stop the ups and down by suspending trading....

This would seem like a great idea considering that brick and mortar retailers need to continuously find ways to remain relevant in today’s digital economy. But while GameStop’s idea will probably be somewhat viable, it’s also a bit of a contradiction. There are two key facets to downloading IP content that appear to be the driving force behind the format’s success. The first is the idea that you aren’t bogged down by more dusty media in your home when something is residing digitally on your hard drive....

Henderson, 28, played the full match as England registered their first Nations League point in Friday’s scoreless draw away to Croatia. The Liverpool skipper has been a central figure throughout the two-year tenure of the famously level-headed former Middlesbrough manager, starting all but two matches at the World Cup. His involvement against Croatia in Rijeka came despite a slightly reduced role at Anfield, where Henderson admits he is accustomed to less off-field responsibility....

The country music superstar is taking extra precautions and canceled five shows from his stadium tour in August as the COVID pandemic continues. “Stadiums are officially out for this year,” the “Friends in High Places” hitmaker told fans this week on the latest installment of his Facebook series Inside Studio G. The 59-year-old performer, who regularly sells out stadiums, is now set to embark on a dive bar tour. The unusual decision to take his large-scale show to much smaller venues is down to concerns about the coronavirus vaccine....

But the surgery, itself, doesn’t take off the weight; the real work happens afterward. While the smaller size of the postoperative stomach will reduce the amount of food you can eat and overall appetite, it will be the lifestyle and dietary changes you make that actually cause weight loss. Critical to success, then, is an understanding of long-term care after this procedure. Benefits of Surgery The most impactful benefit of gastric sleeve surgery is a significant reduction in weight....

The World Health Organization calls the Delta variant of COVID-19 the “fastest and fittest,” a term suggesting that this strain of the virus both spreads more rapidly and picks off vulnerable people more efficiently than do its predecessors. California is about to experience Delta’s full force—and the state’s lagging vaccination efforts in low income neighborhoods will once again put those populations at unequal risk. Late last month, Delta became the dominant variant in the state, according to the California Department of Public Health....
