Daily Challenge Mode Missing from The Division
The Daily Challenge mode in The Division is missing, and it won't be back until tomorrow.
The official Division Twitter account gave the following statement: "We are aware of the missing Daily Challenge mode. While we won’t be able to fix it today, we can confirm that it will be back tomorrow."

However, it seems this fix is still not working for some users.
Flappy Bird’s Newest Platform Is an E-Cigarette
The true measure of a game's success is how its fanbase adopts it. People have played Pac-Man on the side of a building, replaced the entire World 1-1 soundtrack on violin, and introduced Minecraft to advanced AI. Now, Dong Nguyen's unlikely mobile hit joins the club, by becoming playable on something you'd ordinarily use to vape.
As spotted by Kotaku, enterprising future-person Balázs Bánk made a fully playable version of Flappy Bird for the screen of his VTC Mini E-Cigarette. You can see it in action below:

According to an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Jones, who is best known as Loras Tyrell in Game of Thrones, has been doing a lot of working out "every day for the last month."

It would be a brutal, fast-paced single player game against overwhelming odds, while the multiplayer would build on everything that made the Quake series such a force to be reckoned with.

This, despite being presented as an arena shooter in terms of its map design and presentation, its developer descriptions at QuakeCon, and in promotional videos.

"We're going to be working with every single studio, every single panel host to be able to take the content and put it on our platform," Seth Laderman, executive vice president and general manager of Comic-Con HQ, told SlashFilm.
