Latest Zelda Patch Lets You Choose Your Language
The new 1.20 patch for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild allows users to change the language used in the game.
Revealed by Nintendo, the latest patch will allow players to choose between any of the 9 languages that are built into the switch version of game. Wii U players will have to download a 'Voice Pack' from the Nintendo eShop to utilise the new feature.
The included languages are English, French (French and Canada), German, Italian, Spanish (Spain and Latin America), Russian and of course Japanese.
Before this patch, users were locked into the audio language designated by their consoles, meaning that many of us were stuck with the English voice acting that made it to the top of our list of things we love and hate about the game (and it wasn't on the love side).
Half-Life 2, Portal, Left 4 Dead Writer Leaves Valve
Valve writer Chet Faliszek has left the company amicably.

Nothing exciting or drama filled. I worked there 12 years, shipped a bunch of great games and some amazing hardware and wanted to change things up."
Over his 12-year Valve career, Faliszek was involved in writing both of Half-Life 2's Episode DLC packs, both Portal games, and both Left 4 Dead games, and became a public face for the notably secretive company.
Every Song on Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Turned Into a Star Wars Parody
Two-man parody band Palette-Swap Ninja have released an entire album of Star Wars parody songs based on The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, one of the most influential and important rock albums in history.
“This year marks two important pop-culture milestones: The 40th anniversary of Star Wars on May 25, and the 50th anniversary of The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band a week later, June 1,” explained singer and guitarist Dan Amrich on the band’s website. “Our new album merges both into one full-length concept album titled Princess Leia’s Stolen Death Star Plans. It’s the entire Beatles album as accurately as we could record it, only now it tells the story of Star Wars: A New Hope — in order.”

THE ORIGINAL DANCING GROOT
The Flash: Danielle Panabaker on the Rise of Killer Frost
Since The Flash began, fans have wondered if and when we’d see Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker) transform into her villainous comic book alter ego, Killer Frost. Now, after meeting the Earth-2 Killer Frost last season, and seeing Caitlin try and control her growing powers – and simultaneous dark tendencies – all season, that time has come, as Killer Frost has become fully unleashed.
With the most recent episode finding Killer Frost not only on the loose, but teaming with The Flash’s arch enemy, Savitar, I spoke to Danielle Panabaker about the fun of finally getting to play out this storyline, Savitar's secret identity and more.
IGN: This is a dark time for Team Flash, but is this a fun time for you getting to explore such a completely different side to your character right now, especially after you got to sort of do a test run with the Earth-2 version in Season 2?
McDonald’s Introduces the Frork, a Fork With Fries For Prongs
Biting down on your fork never tasted so good. Or good at all. Generally speaking, it's mildly to moderately uncomfortable to bite down on your fork, but fast food restaurant McDonald's has found a solution.
Instead of cold, hard metal, or cold, somewhat less-hard, plastic, McDonald's has replaced the prongs of the traditional fork with hot, salty french fries, and called the mash-up a Frork.
Its new Frork is the sort of disruptive technology normally reserved for bloated Silicon Valley tech start-ups. Instead of seeking seed capital from angel investors, McDonald's new Frork instead seeks flavor drippings from the fast food maker's new line of Signature Crafted Recipes.
The Rock Offers Rampage Movie Plot Description
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has revealed the plot for his Rampage movie, revealing some alterations to the original game's setup.
In an Instagram post, the Fate of the Furious star revealed he's in Atlanta to begin production on the film, which is based on the video game of the same name.
Johnson also let slip that the film would focus on his character hunting down the people causing animals transforming into giant versions of themselves, whereas the game largely focused on three playable massive animals who had once been humans.
"I head up an anti poaching unit out of Rwanda," Johnson wrote of his character. "My best friend is a rare albino gorilla named, George. Very bad people infect George, an alligator and a wolf with a serum. All three animals grow at an unprecedented rate. Their size, speed, agility and violent aggression is off the charts. They go on a deadly rampage and want to destroy the world. George not happy. Me not happy. When animals like you, they lick you. When they don't like you, they kill you. I will hunt down the bad people who did this to my best friend."
Hearthstone Passes 70 Million Players
Over 70 million people have played Hearthstone now, and that's not the only milestone for the collectible card game.
Blizzard also announced that Hearthstone broke a record for most simultaneous players at one time, thanks to the Journey to Un'Goro expansion. To celebrate, the company is rewarding players — old and new — with card packs.
"We’re humbled and grateful that so many players have chosen to join us for some Hearthstone fun," Blizzard said. "As our way of saying thanks, starting today through the end of May, everyone who logs in will receive three free Journey to Un’Goro card packs."
