Actor Chris Pratt has shared a wild story about the time he blacked out on sleeping pills and texted his Guardians of the Galaxy co-star Dave Bautista to ask him to wrestle.

Appearing on James Corden’s late night show to promote The Tomorrow War, Pratt said there was a time in his life when he took Ambien to help him sleep. Sometimes he would completely black out and text people, having no recollection of what he said. One of these times, he messaged Bautista looking to set up a wrestling match.

Here’s how it all went down:

“There was a moment in my life where I could take sleep aids to help me sleep–I don’t any more–I would text people and… I would black out. No idea what I’m texting people. I took Ambien and the next day he says, ‘Hey man, that text you sent last night.’ I go, ‘What text?’ He goes, ‘You don’t remember hahahaha.’ He walks out and I was like, ‘What did I text him?’ So I look at my phone and it’s a text like this long [gestures with hands to describe the length of his text], and it was like, ‘Dave, I want to wrestle. I want to wrestle you. No one needs to know, but I just want to know, I think I could take you. I think I could wrestle you, bro, like collegiate rules, no elbows, no knees, I just want to feel the power.'”

Pratt said he was mortified when he realized what he said to Bautista, who is, for Pratt’s money, “by far the toughest dude in all of Hollywood.”

Pratt’s new movie, The Tomorrow War, is streaming now on Amazon. It’s directed by Chris McKay, who previously worked on The Lego Movie, which also starred Pratt.

Toys for the upcoming movie Spider-Man: No Way Home are now available for preorder, and if we know anything, it’s that these toys will give us some idea of what to expect in the movie. Back in 2017, a Lego set for Spider-Man: Homecoming let us know The Shocker and Damage Control would be a part of the film. Here’s what we can figure out from the newly revealed No Way Home toys.

First, there are numerous figures for Spider-Man in a black and gold suit. We’ve seen this used a couple times in the past. The most recent was the Spider-Man video game for PS4, where Peter Parker made a suit made from the same material as Doctor Octavius’s tentacles, in order to fight him. The other time we’ve seen a black and gold suit in the comics was when Spider-Man wore the Spider-Armor MK II costume. Parker designed this suit after he lost his Spidey-Sense in order to give him a leg up in battle. Neither of these suits look identical to the one on the new toy, which you can see below. Also, it doesn’t look anything like the Symbiote Spider-Man Suit, in case you saw a black-suited Spidey and thought we were getting Venom in the MCU. It will be available exclusively at Target, but is not available for preorder yet.

There is another new Spidey-suit on display for the Funko Pops, and that’s the Spider-Man Integrated Suit. It’s the red, blue, and gold suit with some sort Doctor Strange mysticism incorporated into it. Why does Spider-Man need mysticism in his suit? We’re guessing to jump into the multiverse. This movie has the multiverse, right? Additionally, there’s a Doctor Strange Funko Pop as well, and he’s holding a shovel. Why is he holding a shovel? We have no clue. You can check those out above as well.

There’s also the return of J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson–who popped up as a big surprise at the end of Spider-Man: Far From Home. There’s a Marvel Legends figure on the way of him with his signature angry face and point, which is probably letting viewers at home know that Spider-Man is a menace–and a murderer.

Lego has an interesting set coming up as well. Spider-Man will be teaming up with Doctor Strange in the Spider-Man at the Sanctum Workshop playset, which will retail for $40. The upcoming 355 piece set has four mini figures: Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, MJ, and Wong. It looks like they’re fighting a giant Scorpion.

In addition two other Lego sets were revealed: Spider-Man’s Drone Duel (from Homecoming) and Spider-Man vs. Mysterio’s Drone Attack (from Far From Home). While the Drone Attack set looks pretty typical, the Drone Duel is a bit interesting because the Spider-Man minifig contained in the set is in the black and gold suit, which is from No Way Home. Could Spider-Man be traveling to his past adventures? Is the Vulture back for the new movie? Or is it all just coincidence? No way to tell until we get an actual trailer for the movie, and there’s no word yet on when that’s arriving.

Doom Eternal is celebrating America’s birthday with a special event called “O Slay Can You See.” As part of this, players can earn all manner of new items and outfits for racking up XP across the game’s various modes now through July 29.

Beating campaign missions and taking part in Battlemode matches are two of the ways you can earn XP in Doom Eternal, while you can also participate in weekly challenges to get the goods. In terms of what’s on offer, the O Slay Can You See event offers up patriotic and jubilation-based items, perhaps the most striking of which is what appears to be a new red, white, and blue skin for your character featuring “USA” printed on the front. Your doomblade appears to have been turned into a sparkler, too. You can see all the wares in the image below, which developer id Software shared on its website.

In other Doom Eternal news, id Software just announced that the game’s Invasion mode has been canceled and will be replaced by a horde-style mode. Citing unforeseen consequences from the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the studio shifting to a remote work environment, Id Software has instead focused its efforts on the new horde mode and an upcoming rework of the multiplayer Battlemode.

Doom Eternal isn’t the only popular game celebrating 4th of July, as Grand Theft Auto Online is once again ringing in the American holiday with a number of patriotic goodies.

Additionally, there are a number of 4th of July sales going on now, covering gaming laptops and monitors to games and more. You can read GameSpot’s rundown of the best 4th of July deals to learn more.

Sony will continue to sell PSP games via the PS3 and Vita stores despite the closure of the PSP store.

PlayStation has updated the messaging on its support page for “discontinued apps, features and services” to reflect the change amid the shutdown of the PSP store. “You’ll still be able to purchase and play PSP content that is available on the PS3 and PS Vita stores,” the site says. “However, you’ll no longer be able to make purchases via the in-game store for PSP content.”

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/why-ps3-psp-and-vita-stores-closing-would-be-such-a-big-deal-beyond-episode-693″]

The newly-released notice on the site also makes clear that users will still be able to download previously purchases PSP content, though, from July 6, users will no longer be able to perform searches or make in-game purchases. It was previously stated that “PSP commerce functionality” would end on July 2 but, up until now, it was unclear what Sony had planned.

Sony originally announced in March that it would be shutting down the PlayStation Store for PlayStation 3 and PSP on July 2, 2021, and the PSN Store for the Vita on August 27, 2021. The company addressed the store closure in an email sent out to customers, confirming that they would still be able to re-download and play previously purchased games and videos.

The news was met with dismay from video game preservation advocates after knowing many legacy games from the PS1 and PSP era would no longer be available after a certain date. The public outcry seemingly prompted Sony to reverse that decision, as Sony released a fresh statement in April to reveal that the stores for PS3 and PS Vita would continue to live on.

While Sony was keeping the PlayStation Store operational for PS3 and PS Vita devices, it was never made entirely clear whether PSP content would be available for sale on those platforms. The clarity gained from the latest update will be great news for those who still use these systems and for the preservation of video game history as a whole.

Mignola is also hard at work expanding his *other* shared horror universe in 2021. Tales From the Outerverse is a new trio of miniseries set in Mignola and Christopher Golden’s Baltimore/Joe Golem universe.
Find out why we think the Hellboy saga is an unprecedented accomplishment for Mignola and his collaborators.

Doom Eternal developer Id Software has announced that its planned free Invasion Mode update for the game has been canceled and will be replaced with a single-player horde mode. Invasion Mode was originally envisioned as a Dark Souls-inspired feature, which would allow players to drop into the campaign of other players and hunt them down as a demon.

Citing unforeseen consequences from the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the studio shifting to a remote work environment, Id Software has instead focused its efforts on the new horde mode and an upcoming rework of the multiplayer Battlemode.

“With these factors in mind, we have decided to redirect our focus from Invasion Mode to creating a totally new single-player horde mode,” Id Software explained in a blog post. “We’re confident this horde mode will offer you more of the diversity and challenge you’re looking for in the game. In addition, the team continues to work on a refresh of Battlemode that includes a more competitive, rank-based structure, a number of gameplay and balance updates and another new map.”

Id said that it expects to share more information at QuakeCon in August on what’s next for the game. Doom Eternal has seen plenty of activity since it launched last year in March, with the game bringing the current saga of the Doomslayer to an end in the two-part Ancient Gods expansion.

With Bethesda having joined the Microsoft family, Doom Eternal was added to the Xbox Game Pass service as well and Id Software mentioned earlier this year that it still had plenty of stories to tell in that universe. In more recent news, the game’s next-generation patch for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC was released this week, adding enhanced performance and ray tracing features to the game.

Microsoft is celebrating 20 years of Xbox and will be holding a digital Halo 3 tournament in July as part of the celebration. The 2v2 tournament will be held through a smash.gg ladder and is open to Xbox Fanfest members in North America. Xbox players can become Fanfest members on the official website and opt-in to the tournament there. After opting in, people will receive an email with their registration code for the smash.gg tournament. There will also be a playlist added into Halo: The Master Chief Collection so players can practice for the tournament.

The tournament will have open matchmaking ladders on each Friday and Saturday of the month starting on July 9. The top eight teams from Friday and Saturday will play in a double-elimination bracket on Sunday. The series finale will take place on Sunday, July 31, with the top 16 teams from the month. There is $25,000 up for grabs, although Microsoft did not specify how the prize money will be split up. The Sunday brackets and the series finale will be streamed on the official Xbox Twitch channel.

Also as part of the 20th anniversary celebration, beginning on July 6. Xbox Game Pass members will be able to earn double points completing specific quests, centered around playing select games as part of the celebration. In other Halo: MCC news, a 343 Industries producer said that the team is investigating if the player count of older Halo titles could be increased, up to 60 players.
