Yesterday, Call Of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare got a big update that levelled up Season 5 to Season 5 Reloaded. It’s still the same Season as far as battle passes and things are concerned, but it’s added a new game mode for the battle royale called King Slayer, which is basically a big team deathmatch inside the battle royale arena. The update also prepped the games for the upcoming summer event kicking off on Friday, which will bring even more modes. What a treat.

Recently Alice0 has been telling us all about Blaseball, which is a free browser game simulation of a baseball league. Except it is called Blaseball and everything is weird. I started playing this week with the start of the 4th season on Monday (a new season starts every Monday and concludes on Fridays) and have found two things to be true.

1) I have no idea what is happening, but it seems to be mostly happening on Twitter. I have no idea what anything is. This is a game and unique cultural phenomenon that is beyond my understanding on almost every level. And 2) the Baltimore Crabs are the best team. Crabs all the way! Claws up! SNIPPLE SNAPPLE SNIPPLE SNAPPLE!

Amazon Prime Day normally takes place every July, but this year the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has pushed back Amazon’s big day of deals until a later date in 2020. Right now, that date looks like to be sometime in the week starting October 5th, potentially pushing it dangerously close to this year’s Black Friday deals.

Don’t Give Up: A Cynical Tale is 80p on Steam, and> has a free demo, so even if you haven’t played it there’s really no excuse. I meant to write about it when it came out in September last year, but something happened where too many of us were on holiday or off sick, and I regret only telling you about it now because it is excellent>. It’s an RPG about personal growth and life and living and mental health and also going to get pizza. And it is very funny.

Does the Bergson house feel a little lonely in Children Of Morta? Don’t you wish there was a whimsical owl waiting for you each and every morning? Dream no more, friend.

Right now, a lotta folks are getting their travel fix from Microsoft Flight Simulator. But for most of us, travel isn’t about getting behind the controls of an elegant, gravity-defying machine – rather, we’re squeezing what little comfort we can from a metal tube packed with noisy strangers and posture-wrecking chairs. Enter Airplane Mode, developer Hosni Auji’s upcoming attempt to trap you in economy class for a full six hours.

Dragons? Had enough of ’em. Time to bring this whole flying lizard farce to an end. Guild Wars 2 seems to agree, with the announcement of next year’s End Of Dragons expansion. Putting immortals in the ground is a tall ask, mind, so ArenaNet are taking their game to Steam this November to train up a new generation of champions before the next big adventure begins.

Digital Extremes’ MMO shoot-em-up Warframe gets a meaty and, well, pretty gross-looking expansion today. It’s called The Heart Of Deimos, and it plops you Tennos onto the titular Martian moon to kill some Infested aliens and figure out what they’re up to (you know, aside from making everything look plague-ridden).

This expansion is introducing a big new open world area, as well as Warframe power customisation, new K-Drives (which you’ll be able to shoot from!), new story missions, and loads more good stuff.
