Capcom Offering £50,000 for Evidence of Real-Life Monsters
To celebrate the release of Monster Hunter: World, Capcom is offering £50,000 ($70,000 USD) to anyone who can provide conclusive evidence of one of 10 real-life monsters.
Partnering with Jon Downes of The Centre of Fortean Zoology, Capcom is giving hunters until June 30 to provide verifiable evidence of everything from Bigfoot to The Cornish Owlman.
You can see all 10 possible catches in the gallery below, along with Downes' description of each one:
Downes and his team will analyse the evidence sent in, with any conclusive submissions awarded the prize (with the full amount shared if there are multiple winners).
"I’ve spent the majority of my life travelling across the globe to hunt for evidence of these creatures," said Downes. "Although I have had some successes, I have yet to find that elusive proof and it is time for me to offer my help as I throw down the gauntlet to the next generation.”

Elon Musk’s ‘Sentient’ Flamethrower Could Be in Borderlands 3
Elon Musk's flamethrower could be making an appearance in the next Borderlands game.
Musk tweeted about the new $500 consumer tool from his Boring Company brand, jokingly adding that it was sentient, had a safe word ("cryptocurrency") and came with a free blockchain.
Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford reached out to Musk to ask him if he could implement his creation in Borderlands 3:
Sure
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 29, 2018
Borderlands is known for its novelty sentient weaponry so this seems like a perfect fit. Pitchford offered to lift the flavour text from one of Musk's tweets if he didn't have any suggestions himself.

IGN’s Royal Rumble Live Blog! Who’s Going to WrestleMania?
Let's get ready to
!
It's Royal Rumble time! This year, the women, for the first time ever, get in on all the Rumbling! Will Undertaker show up? Will Ronda Rousey make her WWE debut? Will ECW icons pop the Philly crowd? Will the Women's Rumble match close the show? Will anything be able to top Gargano vs. Almas from NXT: TakeOver last night? There are so many questions!
Oh, and don't you worry. On Friday, ex-IC Champ Roman Reigns officially entered himself into the Rumble (you just have to say, out loud, that you're in it) so there's a strong possibility we might re-live the last time Reigns won the Rumble. In Philly.
