Hearthstone Patch Introduces New Tavern Brawl Mode
The new Hearthstone 2.7 patch is coming soon, and it will bring a series of changes with it.
Most notably Tavern Brawl, an all-new gameplay mode in which players compete in matches with unique rules governing the play. Blizzard notes in a blog post this could mean minions get specific buffs, players are given preset decks, and decks are crafted based on specific rules, among others. This mode was recently teased on Twitter.
Tavern Brawls can be played with friends or random online opponents. It's recommended that anyone interested in doing a Tavern Brawl make sure they go in prepared for challenging matches, as the mode unlocks once a player gets a hero to level 20.
Meet The XCOM 2 Specialist
In two decades of alien occupation, Earth has become a much different war zone. The soldiers of XCOM are no longer defending – they've gone underground and on the offensive. Outnumbered and outgunned, they strategically attack vital enemy positions and break into enemy intelligence nodes.

16 Things We Learned on the Set of The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
TV show The Man From U.N.C.L.E screened from 1964 to 1968, at the height of the Cold War, and played like a small screen counterpart to James Bond’s cinema outings. The series’ smart conceit – concocted by 007 creator Ian Fleming – was to have spies from both sides of the conflict collaborate. So the West had Robert Vaughn as CIA agent Napoleon Solo, and the East had David McCallum as KGB agent Illya Kuryakin.
The show was cool and hip and lasted more than 100 episodes, but it hasn't stood the test of time as well as the aforementioned Sean Connery flicks, with the series something of a foot-note in TV history. Now however, the mismatched spies might be ready to give Bond, Bourne and the like a run for their money on the silver screen, with Guy Richie directing a big-budget version that stars Henry Cavill as Solo and Armie Hammer as Kuryakin.
Oculus Rift Press Conference Live Blog
Oculus's "Step Into the Rift" event is just a day away—starting at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 5pm GMT on Thursday, June 11th
, we'll presumably get details on the final consumer version of the Rift. We'll be bringing you all the updates live from the press conference, so stay locked right here for all the news as it breaks.
Plenty of information remains unknown currently, with pricing, headset specs, partners, the final design, the full list of games available at launch, and even a more precise date for pre-orders yet to be announced. Speculation runs abound, though: earlier today, a set of images found buried in Oculus's website sparked discussion about the Rift's final look.
Arrow, Flash, Supergirl and 15 More Warner Bros. Shows Set for Comic-Con
A ton of TV shows come to San Diego Comic-Con every year, and usually, the studio bringing the most is Warner Bros. Television. That looks to continue this year, as WBTV have announced their lineup of shows for the con – totaling 18 in total! Returning series once again coming to SDCC include The Flash, Arrow, Gotham, The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, iZombie, Person of Interest, The 100 and The Big Bang Theory. WBTV also have several new series coming, including Supergirl, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Blindspot, Lucifer and Containment.
For the second year in a row, WBTV are having a special Saturday night mega-event devoted to their DC Comics-based live-action series – Supergirl (which will screen its pilot at the event), The Flash, Arrow, Gotham and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. Also included in this event is a presentation for the upcoming animated series Vixen, which takes place in the Arrow/The Flash universe. Last year, neither The Flash or Gotham had their own individual panels, though Arrow and Constantine did. This time out, none of the shows coming to "Super Hero Saturday Night" will have their own panels, instead keeping their presence focused on this event. No specific guests are listed yet for Saturday night, but given the precedent set last year, when nearly the entire casts of all the shows represented took part, it's safe to expect something similar.
