News - Call Of Duty: MW3 Adds Meme Bundle That Pokes Fun At "Update Requires Restart
The newest Call of Duty DLC bundle is available now, and it's a meme, basically. The centerpiece of the "Insert Coin Mastercraft" bundle for Modern Warfare III and Warzone is the Arcade Rhythm submachine gun, which features an animation on it referencing Call of Duty's infamous "update requires restart" prompt. Call of Duty fans know this prompt all too well, and Activision is now leaning into the meme (and making money off it) with this DLC bundle. The animation not only displays the prompt but it also shows your soldier smashing the A button to advance through it and then throwing their hands out and bashing the weapon to express frustration over the issue. This might be too real for some. Here's the animation in action, courtesy of CharlieIntel. The Insert Coin Mastercaft bundle, which costs 2,400 COD Points ($20), is themed around arcade games. The weapon has a green tracer effect and when you kill an enemy, they fall apart in little green blocks meant to represent pixels from games of old. Continue Reading at GameSpot

News - The Number of 2023 Steam Releases Is Too Damn High
2023 has quickly been inserted into the discussion for the year with the best selection of new game releases, with games like Baldur's Gate 3, The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom, and Alan Wake 2 headlining the year. For Steam users in particular, there's a lot to consider, as reports say over 14,000 games launched on the service last year. SteamDB, an independent site dedicated to analyzing Steam activity, states that 14,535 unique games launched on the platform in 2023, which marks a nearly 2,000-game increase from the previous year. VGC, via Circana (formerly NPD), also notes that Steam's 14,000+ launch figure dwarfs the second-place platform--the Nintendo Switch, which saw 2,360 games added to its library. The number of new releases on Steam is staggering when compared to a decade before; 2013 saw only 435 new Steam games for the entire year. It also nearly doubles the service's output in 2018, when 8,900 games were launched. Continue Reading at GameSpot

News - Apex Legends And Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Crossover Event Allows Any Legend To
Apex Legends players just got a closer look at the game's upcoming collaboration with Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth via a new trailer for the event. The Apex Legends & Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Event was initially announced at 2023's The Game Awards on December 7, though the presentation didn't include many details, leaving fans of both games wondering what exactly the event would entail. According to the new trailer, the new event will give players access to a new limited-time mode, tons of Final Fantasy-themed cosmetic skins, and a new Buster Sword Heirloom Weapon that can be equipped by any legend, making it the first of its kind. The event, which begins on January 9, will feature a new LTM that will replace unranked battle royale mode for the three-week duration of the event. Known as Final Fantasy Takeover, the new mode will see the game's maps littered with Cactuar-themed "Cacticks," special Loot Ticks that provide Materia Hop-Ups when destroyed. Materia Hop-Ups give players access to special buffs, including lightning AoE damage, HP absorption, and an AI-controller SOLDIER Nessie who will aid players in battle. The Final Fantasy Takeover mode will also give players the ability to wield Cloud's Buster Sword, which can be used to deflect bullets, dash, and even perform special Limit Breaks. Of course, no Apex Legends event is complete without cosmetics, and the Apex Legends & Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Event will feature a whopping 36 cosmetic items (standard Collection Events usually include only 24 cosmetics). Applying these cosmetics will give the game's playable characters and weapons a Final Fantasy-themed makeover, with an Aerith skin available for Horizon, a Cloud skin for Crypto, a Moogle-esque skin for Wattson, a Vincent Valentine skin for Wraith, and more.

News - Christopher Nolan Movie Roasted By Peloton Instructor While He Was Exercising
Christopher Nolan is having one of the best years of his career and already won awards for Best Director across regional film critics associations for his work on Oppenheimer. This could be the year he finally takes home an Oscar and adds that to an already impressive catalog, but he found himself getting hit by an unsolicited review--while riding in a Peleton class. The Oscar-nominated director told an anecdote while receiving Best Director for Oppenheimer during the New York Film Critics Circle awards. Nolan didn't confirm which film it was, but it was obvious the instructor had no idea who was in his virtual class at the time. "I was on my Peloton. I'm dying. And the instructor started talking about one of my films and said, 'Did anyone see this? That's a couple hours of my life I'll never get back again!'" Nolan said (via Variety). "When [The Observer's film critic] Rex Reed takes a shit on your film he doesn't ask you to work out! In today's world, where opinions are everywhere, there is a sort of idea that film criticism is being democratized, but I for one think the critical appreciation of films shouldn't be an instinct but it should be a profession."
