Sex Education Renewed For Season 3

Netflix has renewed Sex Education for a third season. The British comedy drama, starring Gillian Anderson, Asa Butterfield, Emma Mackey, and Ncuti Gatwa, deals with the intertwined lives of several high school students. The first season saw Butterfield's character, Otis, sneakily set up a sex clinic at school, providing advice he learns via his mother (Anderson) who works as a sex therapist. Season 2 evolved the show into a more character-led story, largely abandoning the 'case of the week' style. Season 3 looks likely to continue that trend. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=sex-education-season-2-gallery&captions=true"] Netflix's short renewal announcement states that the season goes into production this year. No release date has been set, but both season 1 and 2 aired in January in 2019 and 2020 respectively. Our review of Sex Education Season 2 said the show "stands tall with bright characters, fun performances, and an unequaled candidness about sex." Naturally, we're more than happy to see a third season.

Watch Dead Cells’ New DLC Animated Trailer

Dead Cells developer Motion Twin has revealed a new animated trailer for its upcoming DLC update, The Bad Seed, ahead of its February 11 release on Xbox One, PS4, Switch, and PC.

As illustrated in the bittersweet trailer above, Dead Cells’ The Bad Seed DLC introduces a rogue’s gallery of brand-new, gooey monsters that inhabit two new, optional biomes.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/01/04/speedrunner-finishes-dead-cells-in-just-over-6-minutes"]

The Arboretum is a “lush paradise to deceivingly adorable creatures,” and The Swamp, an “overgrown arboreal settlement inhabited by ambushing blow gunners and spear wielders” is the lesser of two evils compared to the “gargantuan purple ticks that reign uncontested on the ground.” Sounds great. Good stuff.

The new Bad Seed biomes add an alternate path to reach the final encounter without changing the existing routes, but the additional new weapons included in the DLC – including the first double-slot weapon – will be useful in any of the nightmarish hellscapes in which you ply your trade.

Lastly, and obviously, most importantly, there’s an adorably loyal mushroom companion – again, check the trailer above for proof of adorableness / Stockholm syndrome.

Priced at $5 USD, The Bad Seed DLC is the seventeenth Dead Cells update to date and the first that will come with a cost since its May 2017 release.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/08/10/dead-cells-review-v2"]

Dead Cells has enjoyed enormous and well-deserved success since it was released to critical acclaim, becoming one of the top 10 best-selling indie games on Nintendo Switch, and firmly planted itself in IGN’s Top 25 Games of Xbox, PS4, Switch, and PC.

Bandai Namco and Champion Team Up for Champion x Pac-Man Line

Champion, makers of sports apparel and casual clothes like sweatshirts, slides and joggers, recently dropped its new collab line with Bandai-Namco: Champion x Pac-Man. Check out the gallery below to see the full collection. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=champion-x-pac-man&captions=true"] Crossover events, once the domain of comic books, are fairly common occurrences in the world of fashion. For example, last year the Adidas x AriZona line mashed together Adidas shoes with the iconic imagery of everyone's favorite 99-cent flavored tea beverages, and in 2015 Moschino teamed up with Nintendo for the Super Moschino line. The Champion x Pac-Man line follows the crossover template extremely well, combining the two disparate properties into one awesome apparel line. The apparel is available to purchase right now on Champion's website. The joggers had briefly gone out of stock over the weekend, but returned and can be picked up now, at least for the time being.
