20 Images From the Awesome New Doom Board Game
Tabletop gaming is about to get a little more hellish thanks to Fantasy Flight Games' new board game adaptation of Doom.
The game has "two operations of six missions" to battle through, according to its creators. It also has some really sweet miniatures (unpainted!) that look like they took Bethesda's game and plugged it directly into a 3D printer.
Doom: The Board Game is $80 from Fantasy Flight Games and is expected to come out in the fourth-quarter of this year, just in time for the holidays.
QuakeCon has been full of really excellent sights, including some absolutely amazing PC casemods, one of which is a life-sized recreation of Fallout 4's Nick Valentine. It's incredible.
5 Crazy Pokemon Go Stories
Pokemon Go has been out for over a month now, and still the Niantic Labs-developed app continues to impact not just the mobile gaming market but the culture at large. The game's first few weeks of release have led to boosted sales performances for some businesses, the accidental discovery of multiple dead bodies, and a continued search for how and when legendary Pokemon will actually appear in the game.
And though Niantic's updates to the app, removing some features while promising the return of others, as well as the alleged appearance of previously unseen Pokemon like Articuno have dominated the conversation around the game this week, the app has had continued effects outside of the game itself. (And for more on all things Pokemon, check out the latest episode of IGN's new Pokemon show, Secret Base.)

X-Men Producer on Finding ‘Unique Tone’ for Gambit
X-Men producer Simon Kinberg shared a few new details on several of 20th Century Fox's upcoming mutant-focused films, including the studio's upcoming Deadpool sequel and Gambit.
In an interview with /Film at the Television Critics Association, Kinberg said fans can expect Deadpool 2 to feature commentary on "anything that's happening in movies today especially in superhero movies." He also said the the sheer quantity of comic book films and their sequels "is definitely something we'll play around with."
With regard to who will star as Cable, Kinberg dashed hopes of Stephen Lang assuming the role, saying the part has yet to be cast. While Lang has made it clear he'd like to play Cable, his commitment to the Avatar sequels may conflict with him taking on the role.
Mr. Robot: What Lines Won’t Joanna Cross?
Warning: Full spoilers for the most recent episode of Mr. Robot follow.
Introduced as a recurring character in Season 1, Mr. Robot’s Joanna Wellick (Stephanie Corneliussen) quickly became a standout element of the USA series, proving she was just as calculated and motivated as her husband, Tyrell (Martin Wallström) – but perhaps even more dangerous, given she wasn’t as prone to flying off the handle and losing control as Tyrell.
Season 2 has seen Corneliussen promoted to a series regular and Joanna given more focus, as she searches for the missing Tyrell and attempts to keep a lid on the escalating scenarios in her life. All of which led to this week’s episode, where we saw her sanction a kill for the first time, silencing a less than trustworthy informant.
Star Wars Actor Confirms Rogue One Cameo
While we recently learned that a certain classic Star Wars character won't have a cameo in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, word has come today that another character will pop up briefly in the upcoming prequel.
Spoilers obviously follow!

No Man’s Sky Servers Will Be Wiped Before Release
No Man's Sky has made it out into the wild a bit early — from an early copy sold on eBay to retailers breaking street dates — but those who've gained access to the game's endless universe won't see their discoveries saved when the official release comes.
Harry Denholm, a programmer at Hello Games, posted on Twitter that No Man's Sky's severs would be wiped on Sunday, before the game launches on August 9 on PlayStation 4, and August 12 on PC. Denholm added that it's not game saves, though. Just discovery online storage will be wiped.
33 Images of Jaw-Dropping Custom PC Casemods at QuakeCon
Running games at their highest framerate on Ultra settings is a really great feeling, but it's even better when you get the chance to show off your rig to the envious masses. QuakeCon is a perfect place to show-off, and the event dripping with unbelievable PCs.
One of the most impressive we came across is a life-sized model of Nick Valentine from Fallout 4. Not only is the case a painstaking recreation, the components inside make it an absolute powerhouse PC.
Building a truly impressive PC casemod takes the already awesome task of building a computer and adds the extra element of artistic expression. Equal parts technical know-how and creativity, eye-catching casemods are the gull-wing doors and sleek lines of a supercar with the power inside to back up those good looks.
