Yu-Gi-Oh! Tournaments to Penalize Players for Being Smelly
Konami is cracking down on poor hygiene at its official Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG tournaments, with the implementation of a new rule that penalizes players if they or their clothes are "dirty or bad-smelling."
The new rule, posted to the official Yu-Gi-Oh! blog as part of a wider tournament policy update, can be found under a subsection labeled "Hygiene." It reads: "This is a new section, requiring all persons attending a tournament to be clean and wear clean clothing. If you or your clothing is excessively dirty or bad-smelling, you can be penalized."
The new rule appears to be a welcome policy update, judging by players' reactions online. A post linking to the new policy on the Yu-Gi-Oh! subreddit is overwhelmingly, if not entirely, filled with messages of support. "Best timeline," reads the post's top comment.

Fan Predicted Zelda and Mario Labo VR Minutes Before Its Announcement
A clairvoyant Nintendo fan predicted Nintendo Labo VR integration for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey just ten minutes before it was officially announced by the Big N.
Reddit user KillerMau posted a thread in r/NintendoSwitch at roughly 5:50 p.m. PT on Thursday, April 4 titled "Can you imagine how awesom a can
a Nintendo Labo VR integrations with games like BotW and SMO could be?” The post continued, "I mean, maybe not the full game, but some kind of VR Experience. Imagine the greatness of being in the Great Plateau, just watching the nature."
The Surprising Way Game of Thrones Pulled Off This Gory Beheading
In honor of the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones, IGN is taking a look back at some of the iconic characters who've fallen along the way, and the lasting impact they had on the story. These heroes and villains may not have made it to the end of the road, but their lives weren't in vain - they stand as a fitting reminder that when you play the game of thrones, you win, or you die.
From commander of the City Watch to disgraced member of the Night's Watch, Janos Slynt wasn't known for his honor. In fact, he was a character who became a thorn in enough powerful sides over the course of his journey that he frequently found himself booted from the corridors of power he backstabbed and betrayed his way into. Let's just say that if Arya Stark had ever encountered Slynt, he certainly would have ended up on her list.
Signs Point to an Early Loss for the Avengers in Endgame
Given that Avengers: Endgame has a runtime of three hours and one minute, it’s easy to imagine the story would use that time to build up to an epic showdown with Thanos, but some new clues point to a much earlier rematch with ol’ Grimace… and a big loss for our heroes.
Establishing a Timeline
It’s tough to tell when anything takes place in any of the Endgame trailers, but one big clue comes from Black Widow’s hair. We see three distinct styles: her short, blonde Infinity War cut; a mid-length ponytail; and a long-haired red look with blonde tips. For her hair to grow that much, several months need to have passed (at least), which implies Endgame has a couple time jumps.
The Division 2 Easter Egg May Tease a Vikings Assassin’s Creed
Posters found in The Division 2 hint that the next Assassin’s Creed game may revolve around vikings.
Per Kotaku (via Assassin’s Creed Wiki user AlifMorrisonudin), the posters can be found in the game’s Potomac Event Center, and they feature what appears to be a Norse god or viking with the word “Valhalla” written above, holding a staff and an odd orb. Upon closer inspection, the orb is actually an Apple of Eden - important items within the Assassin’s Creed universe that have appeared throughout history, and have been capable of projecting images, mind-control and more.

Borderlands 3 Won’t Have Co-op Players Fighting Over Loot
We still don’t know a ton of hard details about Borderlands 3, but one new piece of info that came alongside its release date reveal was a pretty significant change to the way loot drops while playing co-op.
In Borderlands 3, every player will have their own loot drops that only they can see, a post on the PlayStation blog revealed. Traditionally, everyone can see all the loot in Borderlands, meaning other players could nab a tasty looking gun from you before you had the chance to pick it up, but that will be a thing of the past.
The Best Mesh Wi-Fi Will Make Your Internet Fast Everywhere
Some homes are just too big for one router. If you can’t get a signal to the furthest reaches of your house, condo or apartment, you should consider a mesh Wi-Fi system, which blankets your house in one giant, easy-to-manage network. Traditionally, Wi-Fi range extenders have been the easiest way to broaden coverage across your home, but the quality of range extenders can vary wildly.
Wi-Fi Mesh Systems are a much better solution as they utilize several nodes to repeat and extend the range of your network. Since Wi-Fi Mesh Systems are designed to work this way from the get-go, they're far easier to set up, can be managed from one user-friendly interface, and can often provide better performance than multiple range extenders. There are a ton of mesh kits out there, but these are the few that stand out from the pack.
