PUBG Corp. Launches ‘Fix PUBG’ Campaign
PUBG Corp. has announced a new campaign to make PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds a "better, more stable, and fairer game."
In response to the community's criticisms that the developers haven't devoted enough time and resources to improving the game, instead focusing on rolling out features like the Event Pass that was met with a huge player backlash, PUBG Corp. has announced its Fix PUBG campaign and unveiled a new developer roadmap.
"'Fix the game.' This is a phrase that we’ve been hearing a lot lately. Bugs, performance problems, and quality-of-life issues have been limiting PUBG's true potential, and you want it fixed. So we think it's time to do something about it," read the update. "'FIX PUBG' is a months-long campaign to deliver the changes and improvements that you've been asking for."
Deadpool 2 Deleted and Extended Scenes Breakdown
After a successful theatrical run ($318.1 million domestic, $732.6 million worldwide), Deadpool 2 has now debuted on Digital HD, a release which includes a number of bonus features including some Deleted and Extended Scenes.
There are just two Deleted/Extended Scenes that are pulled out on their own, that span just two minutes and 39 seconds, but there are 15 minutes of new footage in the Super Duper $@%!#& Cut. We’re breaking down all of these scenes, starting with the two that were separated in the bonus features of the Digital HD release.
What’s somewhat confusing about all of this is they went through this trouble to add 15 minutes of new footage, but then added these two additional scenes that weren’t in either the theatrical cut, or the Super Duper Cut. Regardless, these two scenes come in at just over two and a half minutes, combined, and they were likely cut for time, even though they’re quite entertaining.
The 100 Will Look Very Different in Season 6 After That Twist Ending
Warning: Full spoilers for The 100 Season 5 finale below.
How many apocalypses does it take to end the world for good? On The 100, the third time was the charm.
After fighting all season long for control of Shadow Valley, aka the last survivable land on Earth after the second apocalypse, McCreary dropped a nuclear bomb on the area when he realized he was about to lose the war. Guess he abides by the scorched Earth policy? Clarke immediately curb-stomped his face until he died (RIP you crazy dude), but the damage was already done, and she only had 15 minutes to load up every member of Skaikru, the Grounders, Wonkru and even the criminals onto Diyoza's ship and up into space, safely away from the blast.

Topher Grace ‘Thrilled’ for Tom Hardy’s Version of Venom
Topher Grace, who played Eddie Brock/Venom in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3, has gone on record stating his excitement for Tom Hardy's upcoming portrayal of the character.
In an interview with Inverse, Grace expressed his view that Hardy is a better fit for Todd McFarlane's original designs of the character from the 1980s. Grace also feels the actor is well-acquainted with playing villains in superhero movies after portraying Bane in The Dark Knight Rises.
“To me — I truly mean this — I think Tom is the guy to play that role,” said Grace. “I’m thrilled to watch it as a fan. I really mean that. I think he’s just the best dude. He’s proven he can do comic book villains amazing.”
These are the Best Battery Cases for the Nintendo Switch
Although Nintendo recently released a Switch model with markedly improved battery life, longevity in handheld mode still isn't great. Even with the new longer-lasting Switch you only get four and a half to nine hours of battery life. Those, of course, are the projected numbers and in our experience, we're only able to play for a little bit longer than the minimum rated run time.
That's hardly enough time to get through a good chunk of Astral Chain and you can forget about marathon sessions while on the go. If you want to boost your battery life and add a bit of protection to your handheld, a battery case is the way to go. In this list you'll find the best Nintendo Switch battery cases, each offers a mix of tech you'll need to ensure your handheld is always charged and ready to go.
