Here’s Where You Can Watch the UK’s Highest-Rated Drama of 2019

If you take a trip across the pond (or simply browse through one of your streaming providers), you’ll find that the UK has no shortage of marvelous cop thrillers: Luther, Sherlock, Happy Valley, Broadchurch, Marcella, Endeavour, etc. And if you’ve never heard or seen any of the aforementioned series, we highly recommend checking them out.

Line of Duty is another critically-acclaimed UK cop-drama that will make its Season 5 US debut on AcornTV on Monday, May 13. Per AcornTV, “In Season 5, Stephen Graham stars as John Corbett, the ruthless leader of an Organized Crime Group (OCG) who hijack a seized drugs transport. AC-12 investigators Superintendent Ted Hastings (Adrian Dunbar), Detective Inspector Kate Fleming (Vicky McClure) and Detective Sergeant Steve Arnott (Martin Compston) suspect corrupt police officers of leaking information. As the body count rises, AC-12 realize they’re facing their most vicious adversary yet.”

Fallout Miami and Cascadia – What It Takes To Make A Large-Scale Mod

It’s quite an undertaking to put together a mod, especially when it’s big enough to constitute a completely different game. In the video above, Jake Dekker dives into the development process behind two notoriously big Fallout mods: Miami and Cascadia.

Taking place within the same time period of Fallout 4, Fallout Miami delivers a story set in a city that wasn’t hit by a nuke during the apocalypse. When Jake spoke with two of the project leads of Fallout Miami, they explained the game started as a simple idea in 2016. However, after starting to work on that idea, it quickly became apparent it was more than what a few modders could handle, and so a full team was pulled together. Putting over 50 people on a team raised its own share of problems though, which everyone had to work together on to overcome.

Unlike Miami, the Seattle-focused Fallout Cascadia has almost nothing to do with Fallout 4’s story, taking place years later. The mod has changed leadership a few times, but the team behind it has a clear vision of what they want it to be. Existing within a map that’s roughly twice the size of Fallout 4’s, Cascadia is an ambitious project. The team behind it is scattered across several countries around the world, but the project is–slowly but surely–coming together.

Jake expands on the hidden hardships behind creating both of these mods in his video, and uses the stories behind both Fallout Miami and Fallout Cascadia to paint a clearer picture about what it means to create a large story-driven mod. As you’ll see, the process involves a lot more moving parts than people think. That said, if you want to help out, both teams are accepting volunteers. Head to the Fallout Miami website or Fallout Cascadia website and sign-up.

There’s plenty about game development that’s never really brought up in the public eye, but we’re trying to do a better job of showcasing those parts of the process. If you like Jake’s video, you might also enjoy our new Audio Logs series, which brings in game designers to talk about the hidden details, mechanics, and features that make some of the game industry’s most popular titles play as well as they do. For example, Episode 1 sees God of War creative director Cory Barlog talk about the PS4 exclusive’s most impactful scene and how it almost didn’t happen.

How To Get Free Shiny Pikachu / Eevee For Pokemon: Let’s Go

For a limited time, Pokemon fans in the US will be able to add a special Pokemon to their collections in Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee. The Pokemon Company is giving away a free Shiny Pikachu or Shiny Eevee for the Switch games from May 11 to June 23 at participating Target stores around the country, but this time around, the process to claim one is a little different than usual.

Rather than just walking into the store and picking up a download code, you’ll first need to download a new phone app called Pokemon Pass, then use that to receive a code for the free Pokemon. This process may sound a little confusing, so we’ve outlined exactly how to get your free Shiny Pikachu or Eevee below.

What Is Pokemon Pass?

Pokemon Pass is a new mobile app that allows users to take advantage of special promotions and rewards. The app can be downloaded for free from Google Play or the App Store and is compatible with most Android and iOS phones. In order to use it, you’ll need to log in with a Pokemon Trainer Club account. If you don’t have one, you can create an account for free on the official Pokemon website.

How Do I Get My Free Pokemon?

Once you’ve installed the Pokemon Pass app and signed into your Pokemon Trainer Club account, head to a participating Target store and look for signs with QR codes on them in the toy and video game aisles where Pokemon merchandise can be found. Use the app to scan the QR code and you’ll receive a serial code, which you’ll then need to input into your copy of Let’s Go Pikachu or Eevee to complete the process.

Shiny Pikachu And Eevee

The Pokemon you receive will be the opposite of the version you own, so players with a copy of Let’s Go Pikachu will get a Shiny Eevee, while those with Let’s Go Eevee will get a Shiny Pikachu. Each Pokemon comes at level 10 and already has four moves in its arsenal. You can see their movesets below.

Pikachu

  • Thunderbolt
  • Double Kick
  • Double Team
  • Thunder

Eevee

  • Double-Edge
  • Iron Tail
  • Helping Hand
  • Facade

How Do I Redeem My Download Code?

After you’ve received your serial code from Target, fire up your copy of Let’s Go Pikachu or Eevee and choose Mystery Gift from the game’s main menu. Select the option to receive a gift with a code/password, then input your serial code to download the free Pokemon. Finally, open your save file and pick the Pokemon up from the deliveryman waiting inside any Pokemon Center.

Are There Any Other Freebies?

In addition to the free Shiny Pikachu and Eevee, you can use the Pokemon Pass to claim a couple of free photo stickers based on the Detective Pikachu movie. The Pokemon Company is also giving away a Detective Pikachu Psyduck promo card and movie poster between 10 AM-1 PM local time on May 11. Supplies will be limited, however, so you should show up early if you’re hoping to snag one.

Does Detective Pikachu Have A Post-Credits Scene?

Detective Pikachu introduces fans to Ryme City, a place where humans and Pokemon live side-by-side, rather than as trainer and trainee as in the games and other stories. But though it seems like a standalone story of its own, Detective Pikachu actually connects to Pokemon: The First Movie, making it part of the larger Pokemon franchise. (It might also be part of the Home Alone universe.)

With Detective Pikachu coming on the heels of the release of Avengers: Endgame, the culmination of 11 years of Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, one can’t help but wonder: Is Detective Pikachu part of a burgeoning cinematic universe as well? After all, the movie links up to one released 20 years ago, and we already know that a Detective Pikachu sequel has a writer. There could easily be a teaser for another sequel included with Detective Pikachu.

So does Detective Pikachu take a page from the MCU and throw in a post-credits coda scene, or are you free to leave your seat as soon as the credits roll?

The good news (or bad news, depending on your point of view) is that you don’t need to stay in your seat once Pikachu inevitably cracks the case–there’s no post-credits scene at the end of Detective Pikachu, and you won’t miss anything if you cut out before the end of the credits.

Of course, that doesn’t mean there aren’t possible hooks for a sequel in the movie. Check out our Detective Pikachu ending explainer for a rundown of what happens at the conclusion, and what hanging threads could potentially need solving in a future movie. You might also want to read our full Detective Pikachu review and check out how Ryan Reynolds originally wanted to play Pikachu–it could have turned out very differently. We’ve also catalogued all the Pokemon Easter eggs, references, and inside jokes we spotted, and every Pokemon that made it into the movie. You can watch our video breakdown of the movie, read a report from Detective Pikachu’s movie set, and find out about the Pokemon Go tie-in event that’s happening this week.
