How To Put Awesome Custom Cases On Your Switch
A WARNING BEFORE YOU TRY THIS: Doing this will almost certainly void your warranty. It’s also possible you might break your Switch or Joy-Cons entirely, so proceed with caution and at your own risk!
We got our hands on a variety of custom cases for the back of the Switch and the Joy-Cons, from plain white to shiny gold. It’s a bit tricky to pull off, but with the right tools (and letting us make some mistakes so you don’t have to) it’s not so hard.
Watch the video above to see an in-depth, hands-on tutorial on how to take apart your Switch and Joy-Cons, then put them back together with a fancy new look. You can also read on for written instructions, but I highly recommend you reference the video to see how things are done.
All Hellblade Profits Go Toward Charity Today
In support of World Mental Health Day, which is observed each year on October 10, Ninja Theory is donating all proceeds from today's sales of its most recent release, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, to charity.
As the developer announced on Twitter, all of today's profits will be given to Rethink Mental Illness, an English charity that provides support to those who are affected by mental illness. This applies to global sales on both PlayStation 4 and PC, Ninja Theory clarified, and only includes money the developer receives "from retailers/platforms from the sales."
How to Make Destiny 2 Even Better
Destiny 2 launched in much better shape than the original game. It tells a much better story filled with interesting characters, features a really smart leveling curve, and adds a ton of quality of life improvements. Plus, a pretty dope Raid hit just a week after the game launched.
Still, there are ways that Bungie can make Destiny 2 even better. Here are some of our suggestions.
As of right now, Lost Sectors are little more than bland caves filled with a slew of random enemies and one single high-level boss. It’d be great if Bungie expanded these a bit and made them feel more like small, self-contained dungeons. Maybe some puzzles, a bit of story and lore, and differing atmospheres to incentivize exploring their depths.
Assassin’s Creed Origins Season Pass Content Detailed
Ubisoft has detailed the content included in the Assassin's Creed Origins season pass, as well as a host of free content that will be made available to players post-launch.
In a post on the Ubisoft blog, Ubisoft revealed Assassin's Creed Origins will have two major DLC packs included in the season pass. "The Hidden Ones" will launch in January 2018 and will take place years after the events of the main game. It will feature a growing Brotherhood as they clash with an occupying Roman force, and will raise the level cap for players.
The second DLC pack, "The Curse of the Pharoahs," will launch in March 2018 and will focus on Egyptian mythology. Players will battle undead pharaohs and other monsters with new skills and a further increased level cap.

Watch 12 Minutes of New The Hunt: Showdown Gameplay
Watch 12 minutes of new Hunt: Showdown gameplay in the video up above, as the developers guide you through a match.
Banishing giant spiders and hulking pig men back to their respective circles of hell can be an absolute nightmare, let me tell you.
And it certainly isn’t helped when opposing hunting parties block your exit routes with barbed wire or lob flares in through the windows, making it impossible to see what you’re doing. That’s the thing about Hunt: Showdown. While ostensibly you’re tracking down and slaughtering hideous monsters, in truth, you’re the one that’s being hunted.
Did Kylo Ren Try to Kill Luke?
"I've seen this raw strength only once before. It didn't scare me enough then. It does now."
When Luke Skywalker utters the above line in the new trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, director Rian Johnson trains his camera on two different things -- the "present day" where an aged Luke is clearly frightened by this strength he mentions, and the past where he falls to his knees, no doubt in horror, watching his new Jedi Academy burn. This is, of course, a return to the flashback of carnage glimpsed oh so briefly in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but this time around Johnson appears to be offering us a new clue about that event as well: It seems Kylo Ren also tried to murder Luke during that attack.
Tamagotchi Is Returning With a 20th Anniversary Line
It's time to hatch, feed, and clean-up after your virtual pets yet again — Tamagotchi is back in honor of the toy's 20th anniversary.
Bandai America has officially announced that a new set of Tamagotchi toys — smaller at about 60 percent the size of the toys you may remember playing with in the '90s — will be available in limited qualities on November 5 for $14.99. Check out the device below.
Yes, the new Tamagotchi looks very much like the original, including the device's egg shape, with six different designs pulled from the original Japanese launch. To further evoke nostalgia, the original Tamagtochi's packaging design has been replicated for the new line, and the toys themselves feature the original characters players could care for from the original game.
