Stranger Things Season 3 will debut on Netflix on July 4th, and so we’re counting down to its launch this week with a new story each day about the beloved series. Today, it’s time to jump into that mysterious other realm known as… the Upside Down! And be sure to also check out our Stranger Things: Season 3 spoiler-free premiere review.
Stranger Things 3 is just about to arrive on Netflix and while the Stranger teens may be growing up, hitting the mall, and enjoying their summer break, nefarious things are happening in the outskirts and underbelly of Hawkins, Indiana. Our heroes might be done with the Upside Down, but the Upside Down ain’t done with them.
When Konami revealed PES 2020, many fans noticed the game had a new naming convention. Gone was the full Pro Evolution Soccer title, to be replaced by the new eFootball moniker. Now, Konami has discussed its reasons for changing the series’ name.
“The full product name moving forward will be “eFootball: PES,” the franchise’s European brand manager, Lennart Bobzien, told GameSpot. “For this year we’ve announced eFootball PES 2020. We want to put a bigger focus on esports moving forward. In the past we’ve already shown [this] by having competitions such as PES League and eFootball Pro, the professional club competition. Moving forward, there will be bigger esports competitions coming up. We simply thought that by including it in the product naming, we’re making a statement and showing our community of fans, but also the wider audience, that esports will play a very big part moving forward.
“Talking about Pro Evolution Soccer–in Europe, it was always a tricky one, and when we discussed this repositioning we thought, let’s call it football, it’s a European market [so] we want to have football. We still keep PES in the product name since we feel that’s still part of the heritage and we want to keep it in there. Therefore, the combination will be eFootball: PES.”
Konami announced just recently that Manchester United will be officially licensed in this year’s game, with Scott McTominay a cover star in some regions. The club’s Old Trafford stadium will be fully scanned into the game, along with the entire first team squad.
PES 2020 launches for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on September 10. A demo version, which includes online and offline match types as well as the game’s edit mode, will launch on July 30. Stay tuned to GameSpot for a full PES 2020 gameplay preview.

It’s over. In a closely-kept surprise twist, Robert Kirkman has ended the Walking Dead comic book series with the super-sized issue 193, which hits stands today. That means now is a terrific time to start collecting if you haven’t been already. The news might also rekindle your interest in the AMC show, so we’ve highlighted the best ways to watch and save on that below as well. Plus, we’ve thrown in some bonus Sandman deals at the bottom because it’s getting a TV show now too apparently.
Warning: This article contains major spoilers for Spider-Man: Far From Home!
The latest Spider-Man movie ends on a surprisingly dark note, assuming you stick around to watch the mid-credits sequence. In this scene, J. Jonah Jameson (played by a returning J.K. Simmons!) airs doctored footage of Spider-Man’s final encounter with Mysterio, making it seem as though Spidey himself ordered the London drone attack which took place during the film’s climax. Worse, JJJ reveals to the whole world that Peter Parker is Spider-Man.

If you’re looking to accompany your prized battle-station with a new desk, it has to be a good one. It just won’t do to put the finishing touches to your gaming machine of choice with a shoddy, ugly desk. You need something that fits your space, and something that you’re going to be happy (and comfortable) spending countless hours posted up at, while you work your way through the latest and greatest titles.
Choosing a new desk isn’t just about looks. Ergonomics matter too, and quite a lot. Ensuring that your desktop is the right height for your seat, and that it gives you a comfortable and supportive working/gaming position is critical. Monitor height is also hugely important. Spending a long time staring at a screen that’s poorly positioned can lead to painful musculoskeletal disorders, so choosing the right work/gaming space is paramount. Remember, a poor setup can, quite literally, end up being a pain in the neck.

Gigabyte’s Aorus M2 is an affordable gaming mouse with just a hint of flair care of an RGB Aorus logo. At just $29 (See it on Amazon), it’s an easy buy for gamers that want a low-profile, high-accuracy gaming mouse that can work for both left-handed and right-handed grips. That ambidextrous design also sets it apart from the best cheap gaming mice it competes with.
EA’s vice president of strategic growth has revealed how he still struggles with a public perception that EA is “just a bunch of bad guys”, and how he hopes that EA Originals – the publisher’s label for smaller, indie-like games – will help the company reconnect with new talent.
Talking to GamesIndustry.biz, EA’s Matt Bilbey said “25 years at EA and I still struggle with the external perception that we’re just a bunch of bad guys. We love making and playing games. Unfortunately, when we make mistakes on games, the world knows about it because it’s of a size and scale.”
So going over the Stranger Things D&D Starter Set, this is a pretty great way to get involved in Dungeons & Dragons to see if it’s right for you. The connection to Stranger Things isn’t has prevalent as I hoped for, but I would gladly rather have the TV series’ version of the Demogorgan than D&D’s version, as I find the Netflix series monster looks a bit cooler.
Tabletop RPGs are overwhelming, as there is so much new information coming your way, but what this starter set does exceptionally well is guiding you through the game, introducing you to the elements, and letting you decide as to whether or not D&D is for you. Instead of heading out to pick up a Player’s Handbook ($50), a dice set (~$10), and printing out character sheets–the bare minimum to play, you can pick up this starter set for $25, and you can go adventuring with your buds. This is a very smart way to introduce people to this game.
Note: We live in the 21st century, so you can actually make characters and keep track of health, items in your inventory, spell slots, etc on DnDBeyond. I recommend giving the character sheet and pencil method of playing for your first time though because there’s something special about that method.
