Some of them are cheaper than Black Friday and Cyber Monday prices, others were never discounted to begin with. These would make great holiday gift ideas and all of them will still arrive before Christmas even with free shipping. You better hurry, though, since the deadline is coming up rather quickly.

The League Of Legends Louis Vuitton Collection Is Outside Our Price Range
Louis Vuitton has unveiled the LVxLoL Collection, made up of 34 items inspired by League of Legends. These clothing items, which pulls elements of the game’s aesthetic into the world of high fashion, retail at extremely high prices–not unusual for Louis Vuitton, but higher than you might be used to for gaming apparel.
Some are quite subtle in their gaming links–this $345 diamond bracelet will only be identifiable as a game tribute by people in the know–while others, like this $670 t-shirt, are more transparently based on the game. On the cheaper end of the scale, a monogram bandeau will set you back $170; on the other hand, you could spend $5650 on a biker jacket. The bumbag pictured below costs $2400.
The page also features several models showing what different outfits you could potentially put together from this range might look like; a few examples are collected below. Obviously, these full ensembles are going to set you back a bit.
December has been a big month for League of Legends developer Riot Games, with the announcement of Riot Forge and a move into publishing. We also found out now long ago that they’re working on a fighting game and shooter. It hasn’t all been good news, though, with the studio also recently settling a sexual discrimination lawsuit, following a 2018 report by Kotaku on the studio’s culture of sexism.

Arrow’s Crisis On Infinite Earths Crossover: 42 Easter Eggs And References You May Have Missed

There are so many, it would be easy to miss a handful of them. Luckily, you don’t have to worry about that.

The Biggest Horror To Look Forward To In 2020
While horror has produced big hits every year for decades, there’s little question that we’re in the middle of a particularly strong era for the genre. Horror is no longer the underground, disreputable cousin to more acceptable mainstream cinema–it IS mainstream cinema. And it’s not just one subgenre of horror that’s popular either–the last couple of years have delivered scary movies of every type, from zombies and ghosts to masked killers and scary clowns.
2019 continued the current resurgence of Stephen King adaptations; It: Chapter 2 was another box office monster while Pet Semetary got a new adaptation. And though Doctor Sleep was a commercial disappointment, it was still a very worthy adaptation of King’s Shining sequel novel. There were new movies in current franchises such as Conjuring and Happy Death Day, the fun Child’s play remake, the crocodile horror of Crawl, and Rob Zombie’s Devils Rejects sequel 3 From Hell. And most excitingly for fans looking to the future of the genre, impressive second films from three of its most exciting rising talents–Jordan Peele (Us), Robert Eggers (The Lighthouse), and Ari Aster (Midsommar).
There’s no shortage of horror to get excited about in 2020. There’s plenty of franchise entries, including new Halloween, Purge, and Saw films, and the much-anticipated sequel to A Quiet Place. There’s the inevitable reboots, including Candyman and The Grudge, new versions of classic stories such as The Invisible Man and Hansel and Gretel, and could this finally be the year we get to see the long-delayed horror-themed X-Men movie The New Mutants?
But there’s also plenty of intriguing new horror on the way too, including new movies from Edgar Wright and Zack Snyder, and the latest spooky production from Guillermo Del Toro. So with 2020 almost here, here’s our guide to the most anticipated horror movies to be released over the next 12 months…
Two Point Hospital Has A Release Date For Switch, PS4, And Xbox One
Two Point Hospital, which originally released for PC in 2018, will finally release on Switch, PS4, and Xbox One relatively soon. The game, which was originally scheduled to arrive in late 2019 before being delayed, will now arrive on February 25, 2020, letting console players get in on the hospital empire business. The game’s console release was originally announced in July of this year.
In Two Point Hospital, players have to build manage their own hospitals, while working out how to cure patients who present a series of mysterious, fictional ailments. You play the hospital manager, and it’s up to you to develop your hospitals into successful, profitable, effective enterprises. There are also ghosts to deal with, because Two Point Hospital is a comedy game first and foremost. The console version features a completely rebuilt control scheme.
Two Point Hospital is a spiritual successor to the classic Bullfrog title Theme Hospital, and was designed by some of the creators who worked on that game. It’s designed to evoke that title, while also introducing plenty of new ideas. The game features 119 unusual illnesses, and the console version will come with both expansions released for the PC game: “Bigfoot” and “Pebberley Island.” Console players will be able to explore 21 regions, and build hospitals for them.
The original PC version of Two Point Hospital received an 8/10 in our review. Reviewer James Swinbanks praised the game as an effective follow-up to an older classic. “The exaggerated, cartoon look and relaxed approach to management make it inviting enough for most players, while the deeper aspects of its economy are enough to keep seasoned players engaged. Two Point Hospital not only re-works an old formula into something modern and enjoyable, it also iterates on the classic brand of irresistible charm and wit, making something that’s truly wonderful.”
