Fortnite Players Find Bugged Instant Death Spots on the Map
Fortnite players recently began finding themselves getting insta-killed at Fatal Fields' Fork Knife, and now another death spot has been discovered.
Epic posted a warning about the lethal area in Fatal Fields after players took to Reddit to let the devs know about it.
"Beware the Fork Knife! We’re aware of an issue with players being eliminated when walking around the Fork Knife near Fatal Fields. We’ll be releasing a fix for this issue shortly," said Epic's community coordinator, Sean Hamilton.
Since then, a second death spot has been found near The Block that apparently only kicks in if the player is crouched in the area, but no one from Epic has commented on the post just yet.

Batman #66 Review
Written by Tom King | Drawn by Jorge Fornes
"It's easy to grow frustrated with some of the publishing and storytelling decisions on this series, whether it's the callous way Nightwing was treated late last year or the fact that the already overlong 'Knightmares' story arc was further delayed by last month's Flash crossover. But when Batman fires on all cylinders, it's easily among the best books on the stands. Issue #65 is one more welcome reminder of that fact." -Jesse

George R.R. Martin Confirms Game of Thrones Final Books Will Have ‘Important Discrepancies’ from Season 8
It seems the ever-popular TV adaption of George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones fantasy series and the remaining books will potentially have some important discrepancies from each other, according to the writer.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Martin explains that he actually doesn't yet know how the show will end.
"I haven't read the
scripts and haven't been able to visit the set because I've been working on Winds," Martin revealed. "I know some of the things. But there's a lot of minor-character
they'll be coming up with on their own. And, of course, they passed me several years ago. There may be important discrepancies."
Anthem ‘Defender’ Bug Causes Level 1 Guns to Be Better Than Higher Level Weapons, BioWare Working on a Fix
An Anthem bug was recently discovered by players which causes basic guns to do more damage than higher level weapons. Developer BioWare has said it is working on a fix for the problem.
The bug was originally discovered by Reddit user YeetLordSupreme who completed tests to find that their default Defender Rifle was more successful at taking out enemies than their level 45 masterwork Ralner's Blaze rifle.
The redditor reported that, despite higher damage numbers showing up for the higher level weapon, fewer bullets were required to take out the same target when using the basic gun.
Update: Nintendo Releases First Gameplay Footage of Nintendo Labo VR
Update (3/21/19): Nintendo has released the first gameplay footage of Nintendo Labo VR in a seven-minute video that looks at everything from assembling the cardboard device to how the games look in action.
The list of games, as detailed by Nintendo, are as follows;

Opinion: EA Is Wrong to Ban Anthem Players for Victimless Crimes
After spending roughly seventy hours in Anthem, I understand the appeal of grinding out a powerful build and taking it into the sandbox for some fun. The community has been quick to discover chest farming routes that allow you to acquire materials quickly, weapon combinations that stack to add nearly infinite damage potential, and other silly glitches that are fun for a laugh, but not really worth going out of your way to mess with for too long. Since all of this takes place in a gigantic sprawling PvE space, it doesn’t really matter if something is broken for a while, since you can’t hurt other players. You can have your fun and the glitch will be patched out shortly - at least that’s what I thought.
Suicide Squad 2: Idris Elba in Talks to Replace Will Smith as Deadshot
Following Will Smith’s departure from Suicide Squad 2, British actor Idris Elba is reportedly in talks to replace him as Deadshot.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, sources say Elba met with director James Gunn on March 1, and things went so well that talks have already begun with Warner Bros. as a whole. Elba was allegedly the first and only choice for Gunn and Warner Bros. The studio is reportedly so excited about Gunn’s script that the film is entering its casting stage sooner than anticipated.
The film, which has reportedly been retitled The Suicide Squad, will act as a relaunch of sorts as opposed to a direct sequel. Reports also claim Gunn will mostly be using DC characters that didn’t appear in the first film - Deadshot and Harley Quinn excluded.
