Casey Viner, an Ohio gamer who fatally “swatted” another player, was sentenced to 15 months in prison for hiring someone to make a prank emergency call to the police that led to the fatal shooting. Viner is also banned from gaming for two years.
Swatting is where the perpetrator makes a false emergency call on someone in the hopes of getting the police or other law enforcement to show up unexpectedly at the victim’s house. Viner, 19, was upset after losing a $1.50 bet in a game of Call of Duty: WW2 and hired someone else to make a prank call to the police.
As disappointing as Titans’ Season 2 premiere was, at least there was little reason to assume “Trigon” was indicative of the season as a whole. That episode was torn between the need to wrap up Season 1’s unfinished threads and begin establishing Season 2’s new direction. With that thankless task out of the way, the series is now free to start charting a new course for itself. “Rose” makes it clear that Titans is becoming a much different series in its second year.
When you first arrive at Sanctuary in Borderlands 3, you’ll notice a locked Golden Chest. You might wonder how to open it for a moment but inevitably settle on the hope that the answer to that question will be revealed to you later on. No such luck! You can only open this mysterious Golden Chest with a Golden Key, and can only get these through a few specific methods.
The first method is by getting it through pre-ordering Borderlands 3, which earns you five Golden Keys. The second method involves obtaining Shift Codes that you can redeem for a chance to receive some Golden Keys. These have historically been distributed by Gearbox via newsletters and social media channels. You can plug Shift Codes into the Shift Code section in the main menu or the Borderlands VIP site. Speaking of which, you can also get Golden Keys by using Borderlands VIP points.
The other course of action you can take for Golden Keys is to bank on the third method, which is to wait for any of the upcoming free content updates, such as the Halloween-themed Bloody Harvest event in October. For a full breakdown of that content, be sure to read our article explaining all the post-release DLC.
In our Borderlands 3 review, author Jordan Ramee gave the game an 8/10 and said, “Borderlands 3 has a few stumbling blocks when it comes to bosses, but these fights are overshadowed by the game’s rewarding gunplay and over-the-top humor. The game’s character-driven narrative acts as a satisfying finale for the loot-shooter franchise, and the new mechanics and features–especially the reworked skill trees and weapon manufacturer effects–give you plenty of agency in how you want to play through it. If you’ve never been a fan of the franchise, it’s unlikely Borderlands 3 does enough things differently to change your mind, as the game best excels at continuing what the series has always done: deliver a humorous tall tale of misfits looting and shooting their way to heroism.”
Batman is celebrating his 80th anniversary in 2019, which includes a very special auction taking place in London September 30 – October 1, featuring iconic props and costumes from classic Batman films. According to auction hosts Prop Store, Michael Keaton’s Batsuit from Tim Burton’s seminal 1989 film is estimated to sell for upwards of $148,000.
For a closer look at the awesome Caped Crusader props for sale in the auction, check out the gallery below:
“Prop Store is very excited to be offering props and costumes from so many fantastic eras of Batman, from an autographed Batarang from the 1966 series to Michael Keaton’s Batsuit from the 1989 film and Heath Ledger’s Rocket-propelled Grenade Launcher from his role as the Joker in The Dark Knight,” said Prop Store CEO Stephen Lane.
As you progress through Borderlands 3, you might find chests marked with a “T” symbol. These are what the game calls Typhon Dead Drops and they’re linked to one of the major challenges you can complete in the game involving audio logs left behind by the first Vault Hunter, Typhon de Leon. You might’ve encountered a few of these in Pandora during the opening hours of the game and probably spent five minutes flailing about in frustration figuring out how to unlock it.
To open these chests, you need to find all of the logs left behind by Typhon de Leon in the map you’re currently in. While you might be thinking, “Oh no! I have to figure out where all of these tedious collectibles are?” Don’t worry, the log locations are clearly marked on the map, sparing you the difficulty of having to find them completely blind. And once you’ve acquired all three, the location of the Typhon Dead Drop will be revealed to you on the map.
There’s typically one Typhon Dead Drop per open area map, so try taking the time to seek out the logs to nab yourself some solid loot. It’s also worth finding and listening to these logs because they actually include details that have ramifications on what you discover later on in the story. Definitely take the time to do it to better enjoy the twists and turns of the game’s more potent revelations.

There are a lot of chests in Borderlands 3. You’ll want to open as many as you can as each typically contains an assortment of loot, ammo, and health. There are, however, a few chests in Borderlands 3 that just cannot be opened from the start of the campaign. Many of them are tied to certain quests–the T-marked chests can only be opened by finding Typhon de Leon’s audio recordings, for example–but there are some Eridium-encrusted ones that don’t seem tied to anything. You can actually open these chests though. You just have to be patient.
Borderlands 3 doesn’t explain this, but you actually unlock the ability to do certain actions by completing story missions. The Eridium-encrusted chests are one such example, as you can’t chip away at the Eridium keeping them closed (or mine Eridium deposits you find in the world) until the campaign gives you the tool that allows you to break Eridium. You’ll acquire this tool at the end of the campaign’s first act, so you’ll have to beat all of the story missions on Pandora, Promethea, and Athenas before you earn it.

Another action you’ll unlock just from doing story missions is the ability to equip grenade mods (which you acquire in the tutorial so the wait on that one is short). Further along in the story, you unlock the ability to equip character mods, and then relics too. You will most likely start discovering a lot of these items before you gain the ability to equip them, much like you run into Eridium-encrusted chests before you acquire the tool to unlock them. If you run into or find something new in Borderlands 3 and the game doesn’t allow you to do anything with it, chances are the answer you’re looking for is to just be patient. Just keep playing through the story and you’ll learn what you want to know.
In 2019, No Man’s Sky is the water fight of games. When your water balloons are stacked high and your water gun is full it’s an absolute blast. But inevitably, you run out of liquid ammunition and have to pause for several minutes, soaking wet and shivering, while you operate a hose and refill your stores for the next round of fun. While the recent Beyond represents another significant step in the right direction for No Man’s Sky that improves itself in almost every area, the uninteresting harvesting and survival mechanics that underlie it all remain incredibly grindy and frequently mind-numbingly tedious. It often feels like it’s been made by two teams with opposing views on game design, who are each tugging at either side of it until eventually agreeing to meet in the middle or tear it in half.
Actress Felicity Huffman was sentenced to 14 days in prison today for her role in a major college admissions scandal.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Huffman’s sentence also includes a $30,000 fine, one year of supervised release, and 250 hours of community service. Huffman was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani and has been ordered to report to prison on October 25.
The Desperate Housewives star was among 13 people who pleaded guilty in April 2019. Huffman specifically was charged with one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud, after she allegedly paid $15,000 to William Singer, who fronted as an admissions consultant, to increase her daughter’s SAT scores.
Pokemon Go‘s September Community Day takes place in only a few days, and shortly after the event, Niantic will roll out the game’s third and final wave of Ultra Bonuses. This last batch of rewards will include the first appearance Gen 5 Pokemon, and the developer has been teasing some of the new monsters that players can expect to encounter.
The latest teaser features a silhouette of Yamask, an unsettling Ghost-type first introduced in Pokemon Black and White. According to Yamask’s Pokedex entry, the Pokemon carries around a mask of the face it had when it was alive, and it would occasionally look at the mask and begin to cry. Yeah.
🕵 Reports show that each of these Pokémon carries a mask that used to be its face when it was human. Sometimes they look at it and cry… 🎭 pic.twitter.com/cod7xl1HA0
Niantic hasn’t confirmed how many Gen 5 Pokemon will initially arrive in Go, although this marks the fourth teaser the developer has dropped in the lead up to the final wave of Ultra Bonuses. Prior teaser images featured the silhouettes of Black and White’s three starter Pokemon: the Grass-type Snivy, the Fire-type Tepig, and the Water-type Oshawott. You can take a look at them below.
🕵️ Reports show that this Pokémon can shoot fireballs from its nose. It also uses this ability to roast Berries before it eats them. 🐽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🍓😋 pic.twitter.com/vqozIuR0dS
🕵️ Reports show that this Pokémon has a scalchop on its stomach to use in battle and to break open hard Berries. For those who don’t know, a scalchop is a shell-type weapon. pic.twitter.com/p7AcAaT4sS
The third wave of Ultra Bonuses will arrive on September 16. In addition to the aforementioned Pokemon, we know that Klink and its Shiny form will appear in Raid Battles, while Shiny Patrat and Shiny Lillipup will be available in the wild. Mewtwo will also return to five-star Raids during the final week of Ultra Bonuses, and this time, it’ll know the Psychic-type attack Psystrike. Players will also have a chance to encounter Shiny Mewtwo.
In the meantime, the second wave of Ultra Bonuses are still available, giving you a few more days to hatch region-exclusive Pokemon from 7 km eggs and encounter all four forms of Deoxys in Raids. This month’s Community Day, meanwhile, takes place this Sunday, September 15, and it features the Gen 4 starter Turtwig.
