Expect Better Loot and Harder Enemies in The Division
Ubisoft will add a new Dark Zone bracket to The Division.
In its latest State of the Game stream, Ubisoft announced the latest patch will bring a new Dark Zone tier pitched for players with a DZ rank of 201+, where you can expect loot with of a score of 204-240 to drop. Of course, it won't be without its challenges, so expect new enemy NPCs of ranks 32-34 to be getting in your way.
Players can also expect more generous loot across all missions and activities, with high-end weaponry and gear dropping more often in the Dark Zone. Although the previous patch has sought to fix the quanitity of high end drops, it certainly hasn't addressed the quality - and it's this that the studio wants to tackle now.

5 Great Star Wars Friendships
Light sabers, space stations, mystical space wizards, and bizarre alien species. There are many elements that “make” a film feel uniquely Star Wars.
But for all the iconography of droids and spaceships, the most important element at Star Wars’ core is friendship.
It sounds really cheesy, but it’s true. Friendship and working together are a huge part of Star Wars, both on the light and dark sides of the Force. So many important duos in the lore not only added a new character layer, they helped key parts of the film be all the more important.
In celebration of Star Wars day, let’s take a look back at some of the most important friendships in Star Wars history.
Why Olivia Munn Turned Down Deadpool
Olivia Munn turned down the opportunity to play the role of Vanessa in Deadpool because she didn't want to play a "girlfriend" role.
Speaking to American Way Magazine, the actress said she refused the role because of a lack of action opportunities - something her new role as Psylocke in the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse offered.
"I thought Psylocke was always one of the most lethal characters," Munn explained, "and I said, ‘Yes
, as long as you’re not using her to be the eye candy. She has really powerful abilities.’ And they said, ‘Yes, that’s an important part.’"
Vanessa was eventually played by Firefly regular, Morena Baccarin.

Nintendo and Vans Team Up for Sweet Kicks
Nintendo and Vans are collaborating on a line of video game–inspired sneakers. The shoes, which are influenced by the game company's 8-bit creations, will reportedly be available in June.
This is according to European sneaker retailer 43 Einhalb, which has the line listed with a June release. And it's not only sneakers—Vans will release Nintendo-inspired sandals and T-shirts as well.

We just hope Vans Nintendo line doesn't sell out as fast as Reebok's limited-edition Aliens sneakers.
