Borderlands 3 10-Year Anniversary Week Three Events Is All About Eridium
Update 2:
Borderlands 3's 10-year anniversary event is on week 3. This week's theme: "Show Me the Eridium!"
During this week, standard enemies will now drop Eridium, Eridium drops from Mayhem Mode will increase, and Moxxi's Vault Line slot machine will cost less Eridium to play. Furthermore, cosmetic items and Anointed weapons at Crazy Earl's hideout will be discounted.
Players will need an Eridium Resonator to break Eridium deposits and collect shards, but luckily the Resonator is an item players will naturally pick up over the course of the main story campaign. The Resonator is obtained during the Eden-6 questline.
The "Show Me the Eridium" event will be available starting at 3 pm PT/6 pm ET tomorrow, Tuesday, October 15. The event will last until October 22, at which point Borderlands 3 will begin spinning up next week's event, "Mayhem on Twitch!"
Fortnite Players Think They’ve Decoded The Black Hole Numbers
Fortnite players believe that they've cracked the code posed by the mysterious numbers displayed by the black hole. The hole and the numbers are now the only elements available following the destruction of the game's island map.
In the hours since Fortnite's map exploded at the end of Season 10, the sole remaining aspect of the game - a black hole - has been displaying a series of numbers. That series has now begun to repeat itself, and fans on Reddit have determined that the full sequence is 11 146 15 62 / 87 14 106 2 150 / 69 146 15 36 / 2 176 8 160 65. But what do those numbers mean?
Taron Egerton Confirms a Script Exists for Kingsman 3
Taron Egerton, who plays Eggsy in the Kingsman films, has confirmed that a script has been written for a third movie.
Talking at ACE Comic Con Midwest, Comicbook reports that Egerton said “I'm really not allowed to say anything, but there is a script”.
"It's a really neat idea. That plan, at the moment, is that we'd like to do another one, one more time," he added.
Director Matthew Vaughn will release a third film in the series, The King’s Man, next February. However, The King’s Man is a prequel to Egerton’s films, and so is not the third film in the contemporary Kingsman timeline. That section of the series - made up so far of The Secret Service and The Golden Circle films - was envisioned as a trilogy, and Egerton hopes to see it through to the end.
WWE 2K20 is a Sublime Mix of Stellar Stories and Slasher Movies
IGN attended the WWE 2K20 hands-in event in Las Vegas on Friday, October 11.
For the first time in nearly 20 years, Japanese developer Yuke’s is no longer developing WWE wrestling games for 2K. Visual Concepts, which has served as a co-developer since WWE 2K14, has fully taken the reins with WWE 2K20, and in a staggeringly brief window of time it's put its stalwart and surreal stamp on the series.
With every passing year, these games get closer to incorporating everything that makes a wrestling match special. The intangibles that make the business all-but inexplainable to non-fans. The bizarre, amazing artistry that goes into telling a story between those ropes (and sometimes backstage, whilst brawling). And yes, WWE 2K20 marks a significant evolution with regards to the action.
Martin Scorsese Says ‘Cinemas Need to Step Up’ in On-Going MCU Debate
Martin Scorsese has reaffirmed his position on Marvel movies, offering an update that shifts responsibility onto cinemas.
During a press conference for The Irishman at the BFI London Film Festival on Sunday, the veteran filmmaker reiterated his original remarks about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, stating once more that these types of films are "not cinema."
"The value of a film that's like a theme park film, for example, the Marvel-type pictures where the theaters become amusement parks, that's a different experience," he argued in a clip shared on the official BFI Twitter account. "As I was saying earlier, it's not cinema, it's something else. Whether you go for that or not, it is something else and we shouldn't be invaded by it. And so that's a big issue, and we need the theater owners to step up for that to allow theaters to show films that are narrative films."

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Will Be Evo Japan 2020’s Main Title
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will be the main title at Evo Japan 2020 next January.
Announced at the Nintendo Live Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Challenge Cup grand finals, the gaming calendar’s flagship fighting tournament will host Ultimate as its headline game at next year’s Japan championship, January 24-26.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will sit alongside many other games, such as Tekken 7, Soul Calibur VI, Samurai Shodown, and BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle.
While it’s great news for Smash fans to see Ultimate headline Evo Japan, the event does come on the exact same weekend as Genesis 7; the dedicated Super Smash Bros. tournament held in Oakland, California. Genesis is the world’s largest “grassroots” Smash event, so it will be interesting to see which event fans show more interest in that weekend.

Call of Duty Dev Says There Will Be No Loot Boxes in Modern Warfare
Infinity Ward's art director has made clear that the development team has no current plans to include a loot box or "Supply Drop" system.
Joel Emslie took to Reddit to clarify matters after a YouTuber and leaker claimed that Modern Warfare would include a micro-transaction system where some weapons would be hidden behind a paywall. This news came just weeks after the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare beta appeared to have references to loot boxes. This angered some fans, since the Call of Duty games that have included loot boxes in the past did so only on a cosmetic basis.
