Lost Ark Launch Event Will See Streamers Racing To Unlock Twitch Drops

Business · January 17, 2025 · Comments off

Lost Ark, the free-to-play Korean MMO from Smilegate that is finally coming to the West courtesy of Amazon, is kicking off the game’s launch with a Twitch event that will let viewers score some free loot–should streamers be up to the task.

Called Legends of Lost Ark, the event will pit three teams of 20 streamers against one another as they race to complete various challenges that are worth a certain amount of points. At certain thresholds, each team will unlock Twitch drops that viewers can claim as in-game rewards. Viewers will need to have activated Twitch Drops for their Lost Ark account to claim the drops. The drops will be claimable from February 8 to February 28, and viewers can track each team’s progress via a leaderboard.

Sorry, Alien- Romulus, The Best Alien Sequel Is Still Alien- Isolation

· March 18, 2025 · Comments off

There’s something specific about Ridley Scott’s 1979 movie Alien that makes it such an enduring classic. With the combination of its heavy focus on relatable, blue-collar characters, its dingy, lived-in capitalist version of space travel, and its stalking, unknowably malevolent creature, it creates a feeling that other horror movies have chased and tried to replicate again and again across the decades since its release.

The latest attempt to recapture what made Alien so viscerally, singularly frightening is Alien: Romulus, a sequel to that original movie. It does a better job than some of the Alien canon of at least creating scary moments with the universe’s greatest killing machine, but it relies on explosive, bombastic moments with H.R. Geiger’s xenomorph, much like the rest of the series’ sequels.

It’s a solid-enough movie, but it’s not frightening in the same way that Alien is frightening. Facehuggers burst from hiding and scramble over …

Difficulty Of Diablo 4's Abbatoir Of Zir Event Is "Pretty Excessive," So It's Getting A Major Nerf

· February 5, 2025 · Comments off

After player feedback and complaints, Diablo IV’s meant-to-be-hard Abbatoir of Zir event is having its difficulty significantly scaled down.

The Abbatoir of Zir event kicked off on December 5 as part of Diablo IV’s vampire-themed Season 2, and was intended as a way for max-level players with optimal gear to further challenge themselves after having already conquered the game’s level 100 Nightmare dungeons. Even so, players complained about just how much harder the event–which functions similarly to Greater Rifts in Diablo III in that players must kill a certain number of enemies within a time limit–was to the game’s other endgame activities.

Alien- Romulus Will Release On VHS, Something No Major Studio Has Done In 18 Years

· February 5, 2025 · Comments off

It’s apparently been 18 years since a major studio has released a movie on VHS, but that drought will be broken when Alien: Romulus comes out for the outdated platform on December 3. That’s right: An actual tape of the sci-fi horror movie is getting made, though it will be a limited edition.

The official Alien account on X shared that Alien: Romulus writer/director Fede Álvarez revealed the special VHS release at Beyond Fest over the weekend. Artist Matt Ferguson has created the cover for the tape, which will come out at the same time as the Alien: Romulus Blu-ray. The previous major studio release on VHS was reportedly A History of Violence in 2006, according to Inverse. 20th Century Studios–now owned by Disney–is behind the Alien: Romulus VHS launch.

iPhones Might Soon Drop Lightning Cables

· January 18, 2025 · Comments off

It’s looking even more likely iPhones will soon drop lightning cables, as all smartphones sold in the European Union will have to use USB-C ports by fall 2024. This will include Apple’s iPhone and other electronic devices such as portable video game consoles, tablets, laptops, etc.

According to The Verge, this legislation has been in the works for more than a decade, with both parties agreeing to make the change. The legislation will still need to be approved by both the European Union Parliament and Council later this year, though it seems very likely the law will pass.

It was previously reported that the current Apple products that still use lightning chargers are Airpods, Apple TV remote, the MagSafe battery pack, the MagSafe Duo charger, and the iPhone. The iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad Mini, and Macs have already switched to USB-C.

Last year Apple openly criticized the move, telling Reuters that the legislation “stifles innovation rather than encouraging …
