Conan Exiles: NA Version Adds Underwear to Nude Characters
Upcoming multiplayer barbarian survival game Conan Exiles launches on the Xbox One Game Preview programme this Wednesday, August 16 - but gamers in Europe and America are going to see a slight difference in gameplay, and that difference involves genitals.
Specifically, as reported over at Eurogamer, European gamers will be able to play with as much or as little clothing as they like, right down to parading round in birthday suits; the game even embraces the spirit of customisation by including a slider to increase or decrease the size of your - ahem - weapon.
Pokemon Go: Mewtwo Appears, New Raids Incoming
Pokemon Go players are one step closer to catching 'em all, with legendary of legendaries, Mewtwo on its way.
Developer Niantic's official site has confirmed that the genetically-modified Pokemon will be available in the coming months in new 'Exclusive Raids'.
Exclusive Raids are, according to the Pokemon Go team, similar to existing raid battles - the major difference being that Trainers have to be invited to join an Exclusive Raid. To earn yourself an invitation, you need to have already defeated a Raid Boss at a Gym where the Exclusive Raid is due to take place. The invitation will include details of when the Exclusive Raid will take place, allowing teams to prepare ahead of time.
When RiffTrax and Doctor Who Collide!
For fans of Doctor Who, Mystery Science Theater 3000, and RiffTrax, there will be no bigger day than August 17, 2017, when the RiffTrax team – Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett – take on the classic 20th anniversary Doctor Who story “The Five Doctors” for a live event carried to theaters across the country via Fathom Events.
The show will also be rebroadcast to theaters on August 24. And while the story has been riffed a few times by the Doctor Who-specific convention-based Mysterious Theatre 337 (now where could they have gotten that name), it’s time for five incarnations of the Doctor, as well as assorted Daleks, Cybermen, Yeti, companions, and a somewhat embarrassing leotard-wearing robot, to get the full RiffTrax treatment! (The team previously riffed the two ’60s Peter Cushing Dr. Who films.) But rest assured, fans, it’s not going to get too nasty; that’s not the RiffTrax way, as we certainly clarified in this fun chat with two-thirds of the team, Mike Nelson and Bill Corbett...

The game - which was released in western territories as a PS3 download-only HD remaster in 2012 - will apparently be released physically this time around. And no, there's apparently no Switch port.

The Force Unleashed’s Protagonist Could Have Become Canon
The protagonist Starkiller from the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed game series was almost brought into the mainline Star Wars fold as a canon character.
Sam Witwer, the voice of Starkiller (via Polygon) revealed during a Twitch stream that his character was considered to appear in the CGI animated television series Star Wars Rebels.
Starkiller was potentially going to feature as one of Vader's inquisitors who would personally hunt down enemy Jedi. This, however, fell apart due to the overpowered nature of the video game hero.
