Get Final Fantasy 15’s Second MP Beta Now if You Want to Play This Weekend
Final Fantasy XV's Comrades multiplayer beta will be available for a second time this weekend.
Just like the inaugural one, to access this closed beta, you'll need to own the game already, its season pass, and have a PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live Gold subscription.
That's not all, though - you'll also need to have downloaded the Closed Online Test application, which Gamespot notes will disappear from the PlayStation and Xbox stores today, August 8.
Square Enix will roll out an update prior to launch in order to try and address the problems and matchmaking issues that plagued the beta this week.

Fantastic 4 Writer Says Marvel Canceled Comic Due to Fox
The Fantastic Four's comics ended because of Marvel's frustrations with 20th Century Fox over film rights, according to a former writer for the series.
Speaking with Newsarama, Jonathan Hickman — who's also written for Marvel's Avengers and Secret Wars — opened up about why the Fantastic Four comics ended back in 2015.
"I think it’s pretty common knowledge at this point that Marvel isn’t publishing Fantastic Four because of their disagreement with Fox," he said. "While it bums me out, I completely understand because, well, it isn’t like they’re not acting out of cause. Fox needs to do a better job there."
The Best Power Supplies for Your Gaming PC

The power supply unit (PSU) is the heart of every PC. It takes AC power from the wall and converts it to low-voltage DC power, which then goes on power to all your components. So if you want reliable, steady power to your motherboard, CPU, RAM, graphics cards, drives, fans, (and of course!) RGB lights, you need to get a good power supply. It’s tempting to simply think “more is better” and go for the highest wattage number you can find. This would be a big mistake. A 1200-watt power supply is not necessarily higher quality than a 650-watt one, and definitely not the right choice for a system that won’t use nearly that much power.
