family with an alcoholic father and an unreliable older brother, Daryl developed a keen sense of self-reliance and adaptability. His difficult upbringing left him with excellent survival skills, but poor social skills and a deep-seated mistrust of others. Before the outbreak, Daryl lived a solitary life in the woods of Georgia with his brother Merle. He had no steady job and often followed his brother’s lead engaging in illicit activities. After the fall, Daryl and Merle were separated when Merle was left handcuffed on a rooftop. Daryl joined Rick on an unsuccessful mission to rescue Merle, and later formed strong bonds within the group, particularly with Carol Peletier and Rick himself. Now, as chaos engulfs the world, Daryl stands ready to use his unique skillset to navigate the dangers that lurk around every corner. Whether stalking targets through dense forests or defending strategic positions in urban warfare, Daryl remains an unpredictable and formidable force. Slamfire (SpecGru) Felix peaked in high school. When he wasn’t playing football, he also wasn’t studying – instead you could find him glued to his collection of horror films, from the suspenseful to the grotesque. As the Captain of the football team and a certified straight A student (despite all the horror flicks), he was winning games and grades all the way through graduation. With a college scholarship in hand, he was so excited to start studying, he forgot to stop partying, and flunked out of college. Without classes or football to guide him, the real horror set in… adulthood. Unsure of his future, Felix returned to his high school as a summer camp counselor and pondered what he wanted to be now that he was all grown up. But then… One eerie twilit evening, a strange man in a football helmet rampaged through the camp! He terrorized the teens and revved more than a few chainsaws, but it was none other than Felix himself who tackled him to the ground, effectively catching the killer, and saving the day. To continue honing his skills in survival, and saving civilians, Felix enlisted in the military with the goal of one day returning to college and finishing his degree in film studies. He hopes to one day direct a film inspired by his own experiences as a camp counselor, and the infamous football helmet killer. Art the Clown (KorTac) First appearing in Miles County on Halloween night, this demonic entity quickly established himself as a force of pure evil, leaving behind a path of bloody murders. Art is marked by an unmistakable look – a black and white clown outfit, featuring a white and black painted demonic/devilish face and his expressions alternating between wide grins and menacing sneers. He employs extreme violence often through diverse weapons and instruments to creatively kill his victims using more gruesome methods as his crimes continue. He has supernatural powers including apparent immortality. Even when seemingly fatally wounded, he survives such injuries coming back always again to reign terror. Art does not speak but uses exaggerated expressions and gestures instead. This makes him even more creepy since he silently moves around like a predator stalking its prey while having that sick sense of humor present in clowns. His targets seem random, but he seems particularly captivated by young women whom he often torments for extensive periods before killing them. His acts are not just murder; they are meticulously staged performances of cruelty that mirror his deranged clown character way of life. Michael Myers (KorTac) Born in the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois, the life of Michael Myers took a dark turn at the age of six when he inexplicably murdered his older sister on Halloween in 1963. Following this tragedy, Michael was institutionalized at Smith's Grove Sanitarium, where he remained for 15 years under the care of child psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis. During this time, Michael never spoke a word. Dr. Loomis, initially optimistic about Michael's

Season 6 multiplayer buffs unpopular Modern Warfare 2 weaponsThe patch notes also detail buffs to make assault rifles from Modern Warfare 2 more viable, with higher damage and better range, so players may want to try these weapons as an alternative to the STG-44. The list includes the M4, Chimera, Tempus Razorback, M13C, and TR-76 Geist assault rifles.While popular MW3 submachine guns like the Superi 46 and Static-HV are no longer overpowered options, the Season 6 update buffs a selection of Modern Warfare 2's submachines. This includes the ISO 45, ISO 9mm, PDSW 528, and Fennec 45 submachine guns.Of these, the Fennec 45 has one of the most notable adjustments with an 8% increase to maximum damage, a 30% increase to the gun's near-medium damage, and additional 28% to medium damage.

Season 6 multiplayer game mode adjustmentsThe Season 6 patch notes include several changes for the Cyber Attack and Infected multiplayer game modes.For Cyber Attack, the update corrects issues causing enemy pings to not transition to an inactive state upon death, and it fixes the game icons to correctly indicate the bomb carrier on the scoreboard in Hardcore mode. Previously, Enhanced Vision Goggles would incorrectly draw red outlines on dead enemies, but the developer has addressed this as well.Major changes are made for the Infected game mode. Likely the most impactful change is that UAV sweeps are now disabled, which the developer says was turned off to allow the survivors a chance to hide. Additionally, players will no longer forcibly activate the Dead Silence field upgrade upon becoming the first one infected, and additional match time is now only added for the first five survivor deaths, effectively capping the maximum match duration at five minutes. The update also reintroduces a majority of available maps to the Infected playlist.

Beast Games Contestants File Lawsuit Against MrBeast's Production Company
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/beast-games-contestants-file-lawsuit-against-mrbeasts-production-company/1100-6526558/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
Earlier this year, Jimmy "MrBeast" Donaldson signed a deal with Prime Video (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/youtube-star-mrbeast-nears-100-million-prime-video-deal-for-competition-series-report/1100-6520504/) to create Beast Games, a competition show that was reportedly worth Amazon shelling out $100 million for. But before the first episode of Beast Games has even premiered, a lawsuit has been filed in Los Angeles alleging that MrBeast's production company created a "toxic environment" that included sexual harassment, failure to pay minimum and overtime wages, and unfair business practices.There were previous reports about Beast Games not providing enough food or medical care (https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/mrbeast-amazon-show-accused-unsafe-204842455.html) for the contestants. But according to The Hollywood Reporter (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/mrbeast-amazon-reality-tv-series-lawsuit-toxic-work-environment-1236005593/), the proposed class-action lawsuit goes even further by accusing the production company of coercing contestants into agreeing to "unconscionable contracts with illegal terms and illusory obligations" that not only misclassified their employment status, it also allowed the show "to avoid protections related to minimum and overtime wages, mandatory meal breaks, and worker compensation benefits."The complaint states that the production company created a "culture of misogyny and sexism" that led to a "hostile and toxic work environment" for female contestants who were subjected to "severe embarrassment and unfair disadvantage." The lawsuit quotes a MrBeast Production employee handbook as a top-down example of the sexism involved: "It's okay for the boys to be childish... If talent wants to draw a dick on the white board in the video or do something stupid, let them. Really do everything you can to empower the boys when filming and help them make content. Help them be idiots."Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/beast-games-contestants-file-lawsuit-against-mrbeasts-production-company/1100-6526558/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
Respawn To Develop Final Game In Star Wars "Jedi" Trilogy, Says EA
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/respawn-to-develop-final-game-in-star-wars-jedi-trilogy-says-ea/1100-6526559/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
The final chapter in Cal Kestis' story will be told by Respawn Entertainment, according to EA. The information was shared during EA's Investor Day 2024 presentation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsvX8NMGUxI).Respawn developed both 2019's Jedi: Fallen Order (https://www.gamespot.com/games/star-wars-jedi-fallen-order/) and its sequel, 2023's Jedi: Survivor (https://www.gamespot.com/games/star-wars-jedi-survivor/), so the studio is a natural pick for the third and final chapter in the trilogy, but EA's comments during the presentation confirm that the third entry in the series is actively being developed."We have delivered some of the highest quality and best-selling Star Wars games of all-time, with over $5 billion in net bookings," EA president of entertainment and technology Laura Miele told investors during the presentation. "This impressive track record includes of course the Star Wars 'Jedi' games, where over 40 million Star Wars fans have connected with Cal Kestis and his arc of becoming a powerful Jedi. Respawn is working hard to bring the final chapter of this thrilling story to players."Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/respawn-to-develop-final-game-in-star-wars-jedi-trilogy-says-ea/1100-6526559/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

GameSpot parent company Fandom has released its sixth annual Inside Fandom study, and this one reveals insights into how people play and feel about games and general entertainment.One of the key findings of the study, called The Power of Me Time, is that 54% of consumers spend their free time on gaming and entertainment each week. The study found that 80% of consumers said they considered playing games or watching TV/movies as a passion, beating out other popular interests like music (75%), food and cooking (52%), sports (44%), and travel (38%).Further, the study found that gaming can provide an emotional outlet--and a positive one. Respondents reported feeling more stimulated, accomplished, and focused after playing games. People reported feeling relaxed, happy, and zen primarily when watching TV or movies. This compares to other leisure activities like sports, which the study found elicited feelings of frustration and anxiety.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/new-study-reveals-how-playing-video-games-makes-people-feel/1100-6526527/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

Season 6 Warzone weapon-balancing buffs MW2 gunsFor Warzone, Season 6 doesn't make as many nerfs as the multiplayer side. The STG-44 did receive a nerf to reduce the gun's damage range and lower the damage modifiers for the lower torso, lower arm, and hands. But most notably, the update buffs some of the guns from MW2's arsenal.This includes small adjustments to MW2's M13c, M16, and TR-Geist assault rifles. The most impactful change being for the M16, which now has major buffs to the AK Patriot conversion kit. This attachment now offers an increased maximum damage range with a change from 30.48 to now 36.83 meters, the near-mid damage range increased from 37.33 to 43.18 meters, and the mid-damage range increased from 53.34 to 60.96 meters.Some of MW2's battle rifles received changes to recoil and handling. The damage profiles aren't adjusted, but these weapons could become more viable now that they will be easier to handle. The list includes the Cronen Squall, FTAC Recon, Lachman-762, and the TAQ-V battle rifles.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Looks Sharper And More Detailed On PS5 Pro - Report
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/final-fantasy-7-rebirth-looks-sharper-and-more-detailed-on-ps5-pro-report/1100-6526560/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
Maybe hold off on picking up Final Fantasy VII Rebirth at this point if you haven't played it yet on PS5. That's because a new report points to the RPG looking notably better on the PS5 Pro, scheduled to launch this fall for $700 (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ps5-pro-revealed-aims-to-double-the-power/1100-6526357/).Digital Foundry (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJZ6ndDACG8) decided to compare footage Sony shared of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PS5 Pro against its own PS5 gameplay. What they found with the PS5 Pro version was "a 60fps presentation that's a huge improvement over the standard PS5 and irons out its performance drops. And in some respects, the footage suggests that [PS5] Pro at 60fps even has advantages over the base machine in its 30fps quality mode." The video comparison--seen above--points out how blurry Final Fantasy VII Rebirth can look on PS5 with the Performance Smooth mode. Then, on PS5 Pro, the Square Enix RPG features much better image quality, whether it's characters or trees in the far-off background. Additionally, skin textures appear much better. Digital Foundry showcases how Barret's face features more details that are almost smeared currently on PS5.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/final-fantasy-7-rebirth-looks-sharper-and-more-detailed-on-ps5-pro-report/1100-6526560/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
Bungie's Marathon Will Be $40 - Report
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/bungies-marathon-will-be-40-report/1100-6526561/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
Bungie's upcoming extraction shooter, Marathon, reportedly will cost $40 and the game is too far along in development to pivot to a free-to-play model.According to Forbes (https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2024/09/18/new-marathon-details-on-heroes-price-and-radio-silence/) and The Game Post (https://thegamepost.com/bungie-marathon-targeting-40-launch-price/), Helldivers 2's $40 price point and monumental success (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/helldivers-2-is-fastest-selling-playstation-game-ever/1100-6523423/) cemented the premium-cost idea for Marathon. However, despite Concord's $40 price tag, its failure (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/sonys-new-game-concord-going-offline-after-just-over-a-week/1100-6526235/)reportedly didn't deter Sony from doing the same for Marathon. Barring any sort of catastrophe, Marathon won't be launching with a free-to-play model. The game will also reportedly have a standard cosmetic and battle-pass system in addition to the upfront $40 cost.There will also reportedly be no substantial updates about Marathon until Spring 2025, although game director Joe Ziegler might reveal some information to clear up leaks and rumors, such as a potential class or hero system. When Ziegler replaced former director Christopher Barrett (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-08-28/-marathon-video-game-director-barrett-was-ousted-over-inappropriate-behavior), the hero concept reportedly was brought more to the forefront. The heroes are reportedly similar to Apex Legends' characters, but with more customization. This includes giving heroes personalities with unique abilities like double jump, fast revive, and invisibility.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/bungies-marathon-will-be-40-report/1100-6526561/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
