Season 7 of Fortnite is quickly approaching the end, giving players only three more weeks to complete any outstanding challenges until the expected next season kicks off. With a new week here, new challenges, both free and as part of the seasonal Battle Pass, are available to Battle Royale players to earn additional XP and stars. For those who have the Battle Pass, here’s how to locate all Expedition Outposts....
A fan-favorite season 5 challenge is returning for Fortnite’s season 6 week 8 challenges: the clay pigeon shooter. Much like last time, players will need to find three different clay pigeon shooters and shoot the pigeon (and occasional rubber duck) out of the sky three separate times. Other challenges include visiting named locations, which players may want to pursue at the same time as finding these shooters, and dancing in front of seven different fish trophies....
Without a doubt, some of Epic Games’ major methods in ensuring retention of its player base in the wildly popular multiplayer sandbox survival title Fortnite is in the addition of new Limited Time Modes and fresh items to keep fans coming back for more. Speaking of items, the developer is set to incorporate yet another object for use in the free-to-play Battle Royale portion of the game by including Shopping Carts at some point down the line....
Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5 is set to begin very shortly. In fact, it’s starting in just over a week’s time on December 2nd. And after it was previously leaked earlier this month, Epic Games itself has confirmed that Season 5 will introduce a brand-new subscription service called Fortnite Crew. Fortnite’s new service will be available to all players and charge $11.99 every month.

A recent Fortnite leak reveals a car with a mounted gun turret is in the works. Having previously mounted weapons on water and air vehicles, Fortnite’s new car would be a first-of-its-kind for the game. Epic Games’ popular battle royale is now well into its fifth season of Chapter 2. Fortnite recently kicked off their annual winter holiday-themed event in the form of Operation Snowdown, which gives players the chance to earn some festive cosmetics....
Following the in-game debut of the latest trailer for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming movie Tenet, Fortnite plans to screen one of the director’s earlier films some time this summer as well. Grab a bag of popcorn, put on your favorite Fortnite skin, and sit around watching one of the director’s classic movies with your friends some time soon. The movie will likely be screened within Fortnite’s new Party Royale mode, which has been helping the game evolve from a simple battle royale shooter into a full blown social platform....
October is arguably the biggest month for Friday the 13th: The Game since it initially launched this past May. The asymmetric multiplayer horror title is receiving a number of free and paid content updates this month, as revealed by the game’s DLC road map. Next Friday the 13th will see the addition of the Jarvis House map and Jason skin from Friday the 13th Part 4: The Final Chapter, as well as a brand new camp counselor....
Our quick take Fujifilm XF1 - 4.0 / 5 Design Performance Image Quality To recap We have handfuls of love for the XF1 thanks to its decent image quality, collapsible manual zoom lens, competitive price and retro, pocketable design. But that’s met with a few pinches of disappointment too: the maximum f/4.9 aperture at the full extent of the zoom, lack of optional viewfinder, ongoing “white orb” issues due to the sensor and that not-so-nice faux-leather finish....
Earlier this year at Comic Con, G4TV announced a triumphant return coming in 2021, although the network has been fairly silent about exactly what this could mean. Well, the first look at the new era of the network came recently as G4TV announced a Reunion Special that will air on YouTube on November 24th, with popular streamers and online personalities collaborating with their own streams as well in what is being referred to as Gravython....
Fans of Civilization 6 are looking forward to all the updates coming in the next few months with the New Frontier Pass. One of the many updates includes a narrator for Season 2 of Red Death skirmishes that brings some serious star power with him.

From beginning to end, 2013 was an exciting year for the video game industry. Unlike past years, 2013 was highlighted by the launch of two highly anticipated next-gen consoles, the PS4 and the Xbox One. However, although Sony and Microsoft’s latest home entertainment devices dominated the conversation, their lack of quality launch titles left us a little disappointed. Moreover, the transition between console generations resulted in a year with few first party exclusives, especially from Microsoft....
It’s a sad fact that for every game creators have spent hours designing, creating, and perfecting, there will be at least a small group of gamers who will wish to balance the odds in their favour by cheating their way to the top. It’s by no means a new concept, with card counting a common occurrence in games of blackjack and violations of the touch-move rule bringing chess masters to their knees in competitive circles....
Well behind the curve and after showing its true colors by putting profits over the health and safety of consumers, employees, and the general public, GameStop has closed its U.S. stores to customers and will now process orders on a digital basis only. Curbside or store pick-up and eCommerce delivery will be the only options from now on. In an additional move uncharacteristic of the failing company, employees whose hours have been eliminated will be paid for an additional two weeks and will be reimbursed one month of employee benefit contributions....
Cecilias are a rare resource in Genshin Impact, used primarily for ascending characters such as Venti and Albedo. It’s unlikely you’ll find the flower if you’re simply roaming around Teyvat – you need to know exactly where to look, as its spawn locations are incredibly limited. Here’s where you can find Cecilia in Genshin Impact, along with an efficient way to quickly farm the material. Where To Find Cecilia There are several different ways to acquire Cecilia in Genshin Impact....

The game will be published and developed by MiHoYo, which also created Honkai Impact 3 in 2016. MiHoYo is a Chinese studio that is widely known for mobile game development, with anime-inspired stories and characters featured in its titles. Genshin Impact is set in a deep fantasy world called Teyvat. Players will take control of “The Traveler” who has lost not only their power, but family as well....
Genshin Impact fans have had a great fall thanks to the arrival of the game’s first substantial patch: Version 1.1. This update introduced new characters, quests, enemies, and events to the game, but devoted players have already started seeing past the new features and following potential future updates, including cosmetic items. Though Genshin Impact Version 1.1 was originally leaked, along with another slate of content that has yet to be released, it seems that miHoYo may have even more imminent content in the back burner than was originally believed....
Genshin Impact has been sending off winter with the recent Lantern Rite Festival, featuring the game’s latest playable character, Xiao. This spring-themed event has given players plenty of chances at great prizes, but as it winds down, many are wondering what’s in store after Version 1.3 of the game. Of course, Travelers still have a bit more to look forward to in Version 1.3 of Genshin Impact, as there’s at least one more playable character likely to be introduced before the next major update....
February 2 is an important date on the United States calendar. That’s the day when a beleaguered, snow-stricken nation casts its eyes to a Midwestern meteorological rodent, who then communicates to us whether spring is on the horizon or winter will last for six more weeks. Funnily enough, this year’s Groundhog Day also indulged another increasingly frequent tradition. For, just like Punxsutawney Phil, beloved Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin emerged from his den to let us know if Winter was on the way…The Winds of Winter that is....
Although the console didn’t particularly excel when it came to sales, the Wii U did have a wide selection of incredible games over its long life span. From the likes of Mario Kart 8 and Pikmin 3 to Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze and Bayonetta 2, while the console itself might not be remembered, the titles released on it most definitely will. Players who happen to own a Wii U will also be happy to know that a brand new deal over at GameStop means they can grab four of the console’s best games for an absolute bargain of a price....
