Baldur’s Gate is Finally Coming to Consoles and You Can See Gameplay Now
There are a handful of classic RPGs built on the Infinity engine and based on the vintage Dungeons & Dragons experience that turned out not only to be some of the best D&D roleplaying games ever made but some of the best roleplaying games of all time. Games like Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate 2, Planescape: Torment, and Icewind Dale, still pull on those nostalgia heartstrings 20 years later, and they're making another comeback.
While developer Beamdog has been quietly releasing enhanced editions of these great roleplaying games over the last few years on PC, the news that the developer is partnering with Skybound Entertainment to release the enhanced versions to consoles for the first time should be anything but quiet. Think about it: Baldur's Gate on your Nintendo Switch. That's awesome. Fortunately, we got our hands on a few early builds of the ports, and you can check out gameplay of Baldur's Gate 1, 2, and Icewind Dale enhanced editions running on the PlayStation 4 in the video above before they're released later this year.
Netflix: Everything Leaving in October
Netflix's official "Last Call" list for October is out, detailing all the movies and TV shows that will be leaving the site next month.
Critically acclaimed/award-winning movies like All the President's Men, Bonnie and Clyde, Platoon, Deliverance, and Quiz Show will be taking a powder, along with magnificent monster flicks like Gremlins and Cloverfield.
It's also worth noting that The Fall's first season is leaving since it will leave behind Seasons 2 and 3, which are technically Netflix Originals here in the U.S. But Netflix only picked it up here post-Season 1. So if you've been wanting to catch that Gillian Anderson/Jamie Dornan series, you've only got a few weeks left until the first five episodes vanish.

We interviewed Dennis Liu, who created the eponymous comic book and serves as executive producer on Raising Dion (in addition to directing the sixth episode) to learn more about his inspiration for this unique series, which tells a superhero origin story from the perspective of both an optimistic - if awkward - kid, and his mother.

The leaks have uncovered a new Explosive Batarang that is said to home in on enemies, or stick to walls and explode when other players wander too close. Also found in the Batman kit is the Dark Knight's trusty Grapnel Gun, which will provide new opportunities to quickly gain height.

Toxic Dota 2 Players Are Being Hit With 19 Year Bans
Dota 2 players who cheat, buy and sell accounts, or are abusive are now being banned from the game for up to two decades.
The bans are the result of an update to Dota 2's ranked matchmaking, which made clear that the game will now punish smurfing, role queue abuse, and those with low behaviour scores.
"In terms of our development focus moving forward, we are spending more of our time than usual focusing on matchmaking quality," reads a blog post introducing the update. "We believe that is the right call given how much opportunity there is to make the day-to-day experience better for all players."
