A New Pokemon Go Clone Is About Collecting Catholic Saints
With the Vatican-supported new augmented reality game Follow JC Go, you can catch all of your favorite saints and learn a little bit about Catholicism at the same time.
According to the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, Follow JC Go, uses similar AR technology to Niantic's Pokemon Go, but in place of the Pokemon you're familiar with, you'll be "capturing" saints and other famous religious figures. The app was reportedly developed by the Fundación Ramón Pané, a Floridian evangelical group.

Eternal Darkness, Legacy of Kain Creator Announces Deadhaus Sonata
Denis Dyack – creator of Legacy of Kain, Eternal Darkness, and Too Human – has announced a new game, called Deadhaus Sonata, from his new development studio, Apocalypse. It’ll be a free-to-play action-RPG for PC and “targeting all platforms.” And according to Dyack, it will blend the best of what he’s done before.
“We are combining elements of many of my past games into Deadhaus Sonata,” Dyack told IGN. “Deadhaus Sonata is a cooperative multiplayer, free-to-play RPG where you are an unstoppable force of the dead. There are Lovecraftian overtones from Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem, the gothic role-playing elements of Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, where you are undead, and finally, some the action RPG elements of Too Human.” Apocalypse described Deadhaus as “a combination of fast action, loot collection, and deep gothic lore

Melmetal Is the Evolution of Meltan, The Mythical Pokemon First Revealed in Pokemon GO
Melmetal, the evolution of the Mythical Pokémon Meltan who first appeared in Pokémon GO, has been revealed.
Revealed on Pokémon's website, Melmetal is also a Steel Hex Nut Pokémon who is much bigger than Meltan, weighing in at 1,763.7 lbs. and standing 8'02" tall.
Melmetal, who hasn't been seen in 3,000 years and used to be worshiped for its power to create metal, possesses a "unique Steel-type physical move called Double Iron Bash." Using the hex nut in its chest "like an axle to spin its power arms around," it deals a double strike to its unfortunate opponent.
Leaving Netflix in November
Netflix's monthly "Last Call" list, featuring all the movies and TV shows expiring from the site, is actually pretty short for November. Most notably, the Jurassic Park trilogy, Hellboy II, Paddington, The Land Before Time (plus its two sequels), and Cruel Intentions are leaving.
Since there's not a lot to prattle on about here, we're going to give a shout out to a great underrated horror flick that's leaving - Mike Flanagan's Oculus, starring Karen Gillan and Katee Sackhoff. If you're a fan of Flanagan's The Haunting of Hill House, which we clearly are, then you should check out his first "haunted family"-style horror film before it vanishes in a few weeks.
Dan Houser ‘Thankful’ Not to Be Releasing Grand Theft Auto 6 Right Now
Dan Houser has said he’s "thankful" to be releasing Red Dead Redemption 2 and not GTA 6 this week, because the latter would be "out of date within two minutes".
In an extensive interview with GQ, the Rockstar co-founder discussed how his flagship franchise's tone doesn't quite mesh with the current cultural climate:
"It’s really unclear what we would even do with
, let alone how upset people would get with whatever we did. Both intense liberal progression and intense conservatism are both very militant, and very angry. It is scary but it’s also strange, and yet both of them seem occasionally to veer towards the absurd.

Fortnitemares Event Begins, Crossbow Returns, and Glider Changes in Latest Fortnite Patch
A brand new Fortnite patch released today is kicking off Fortnitemares, a limited time event where monsters spawn and wreak havoc in the battle royale mode.
The cube has made quite the journey since it first appeared last season and its latest move is releasing Cube Fragments onto the map. Cube Monsters will emerge from these fragments and killing them provides a chance at finding extra shield and loot. The small Cube fragments will spawn randomly on the map while the larger fragments can be found at corrupted zones.
To fight off the hoard of monsters are two new weapons. One is the modified return of the crossbow, now known as the Hunter Crossbow with 40 base damage and unlimited ammo. The Six Shooter allows for increased fire rate when shooting from the hip while aiming down the sight allows for more precision. The Hand Cannon got a few buffs and the Rocket Launcher has a temporary visual upgrade with the Pumpkin Rocket Launcher.
