Hero Forge Adds Customizable Wheelchairs For Minis
Hero Forge’s range of options for its customizable tabletop minis just got a little bigger, with the addition of a set of wheelchairs for adventure-ready wheelchair-using characters. The new options include three different styles of wheelchair, which have been added in time for International Wheelchair Day.
In honor of #InternationalWheelchairDay, we are excited to announce the addition of Wheelchairs to Hero Forge!
Now your heroes can now choose from three Wheelchair styles in the Mount menu: The Modern Wheelchair, Fantasy Town Wheelchair, and Fantasy Battle Wheelchair. (1/2) pic.twitter.com/uVJ20NdUBv— Hero Forge (@HeroForgeMinis) March 1, 2021
Hero Forge is a service that allows you to design a customized TTRPG miniature, complete with weapons, mounts, and even animal companions. The finished designs can then be bought as a pre-made figure, or downloaded as a 3D-printable STL file.
The new wheelchairs have been added in the “Mounts” category, and include a basic “Modern Wheelchair,” a decorative “Fantasy Town Wheelchair,” and a “Fantasy Battle Wheelchair” that’s exactly what it sounds like. The parts can also be mixed and matched between styles, with customizable wheels and handles.
Hero Forge also shared a tweet by Sara Thompson, a TTRPG designer who designed the homebrew Combat Wheelchair ruleset for Dungeons and Dragons 5E. The Combat Wheelchair got a big boost last year when it appeared in Critical Role, with NPC Dagen Underthorn proudly sporting the chair.
The three wheelchair variants are live in the Hero Forge creator now, whether you want to order a mini or just mess around in the character creator.
Details About Ryan Reynolds’ Netflix Time Travel Movie The Adam Project Revealed
Ryan Reynolds will be starring in an upcoming Netflix original feature called The Adam Project and its all about time travel–but if you’re expecting a Christopher Nolan-style puzzle box, you might be in for a surprise. Collider recently posted an interview with screenwriter Jonathan Tropper (Banshee), where he revealed new details about the movie’s plot.
“To me, the time travel was just a device,” Tropper said. “The movie is not a hardcore sci-fi time travel movie. It’s a movie about people. For me, it was more about the characters and the story of this boy who’s lost his father and is trying to come to terms with what that means, through a really interesting adventure. I’m never gonna write a Christopher Nolan-type movie about time travel. That wouldn’t interest me. For me, it’s more about finding that story that appeals to the little kid in all of us.”
The movie centers around Reynolds, a time traveler, who returns to meet his 13-year-old self (Walker Scobell) to track down their father (Mark Ruffalo), in order to course correct the future.
Tropper has been working on The Adam Project for 8 years. He explained that he wrote the script 8 years ago and has “fought hard to keep it alive at the studio and to keep them looking for the right way to make it.”
But Tropper isn’t the only hand on the script. He also explained that Reynolds himself, who is a co-producer on the film along with director Shawn Levy, has spent time honing the script and his own character. “He’s very sharp-witted and his wit is very specific,” Trooper said. “It’s not just his wit, his sense of character is very sharp. We spent a lot of time honing the script together once he came on board.”
The Adam Project currently has no release date.
Wholesome Direct Will Return In 2021
The Wholesome Direct will be back for another year, scheduled to air sometime later in 2021. If you have a game to show off, submissions to be featured in the direct are now open until March 15.
Like last year, Wholesome Direct will be a livestream all about indie games that can be described as cute and/or cozy in terms of their visuals, tone, or story. The stream will feature exclusive trailers and gameplay demonstrations and interviews with developers.
Wholesome Direct will return this year! A full-length showcase packed with exclusive footage, developer interviews, and announcements from cute and cozy indie games. Just like last year, anyone can submit their game for consideration! RTs ❤️ pic.twitter.com/P7Eam7Fgqu

Wholesome Direct 2020 occurred in May so its stands to reason this year’s event will as well, but the organizers have not yet confirmed a date.
Over 50 games were shown off during Wholesome Direct 2020, including titles like Kind Words (a relaxing game where an online community supports each other through hard times), Spiritfarer (one of GameSpot’s Best Games of 2020), Ooblets (read GameSpot’s early access review), and Haven (one of the best games to play with your partner).
Wholesome Direct was a welcome distraction in 2020, and it’s wonderful to see the show return again in 2021. Perhaps we’ll hear release dates for some of the games listed in the 50 indies we’re most excited to see in 2021.
Deep Rock Galactic 2021 Roadmap Outlined, Huge Update Releasing In Q3
Developer Ghost Ship Games has revealed the 2021 roadmap for Deep Rock Galactic, including a major update scheduled to go live in April. This will be followed by another update in Q3 2021 (July to October), which, in a blog post, Ghost Ship Games says “will be huge–maybe our biggest update ever.”
The update coming in April, called Update 34: Bits n’ Pieces, is primarily geared towards adding modding support to Deep Rock Galactic. Update 34 will also add a controller rebinding feature and rebalance the game’s weapons and overclocks.
Then in Q3 2021, Update 35 will add a ton of content, including a new mission type, weapons, overclocks, cosmetics, and user interface improvements. “Deep Rock Galactic is here to stay for a long time–there are no signs of fading, quite the opposite–so we need to think further ahead,” Ghost Ship Games writes. “Normally, we don’t even plan that far, but we must also admit that getting a bit of breathing room and time to dream feels and sounds really good.”
Releasing on PC in early access in 2018, Deep Rock Galactic officially launched for Xbox One and PC in May 2020. The game sees you and up to three friends work together as a group of dwarven miners, tasked with exploring procedurally generated caves that are full of valuables to obtain and hostile aliens to defeat.

Evolution Of The MP5 In Call of Duty
The MP5 is one of Call of Duty’s most well-known submachine guns. It’s been featured in more than a dozen games and modes and has seen quite a few changes. In this video, we check out it’s evolution within the entire series. Everything from its introduction in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, to its futuristic stylings of Infinite Warfare and beyond.
The reliable MP5 is a fan favorite. It usually delivers a fast fire rate with low recoil. In most Call of Duty games, it’s the strongest submachine gun in terms of damage. Unfortunately, the same can’t always can’t always be said when it comes to Treyarch’s Zombies modes. Submachine guns and zombies don’t mix very well and can leave you wanting a stronger weapon in later rounds.
Even every iteration, there are a few staples that make up that classic MP5 look. This includes its iron sights and familiar body shape. In futuristic titles like Infinite Warfare, the MP5 goes by other names like the VPR, but after getting your hands on them, the feel and performance of this submachine gun stands out and feels familiar. While the look and style has changed over the years, there’s no denying it’s smooth handling and solid time to kill. It’s a gun we COD fans can’t live without.

New On Netflix This Week: Biggie: I Got A Story To Tell, Pokemon, And Nolan’s Batman
A new week means a new batch of content served up on Netflix. With winter starting to recede into the rear-view mirror, that also means the slow but steady dawn of marquee, exciting and also classic titles onto popular streaming services. This week sees a long list of new additions, from Batman and Friday the 13th movies to a Notorious BIG documentary
The first of the month is typically when most additions to streaming services take place, and March is no exception with a whopping 21 newcomers on Netflix. If you’re a fan of hip-hop, you’re in luck, because the first of the month sees the debut of the new documentary Biggie: I Got a Story to Tell. The film is about the life and career of one of the most influential rappers of all time, the Notorious B.I.G. The documentary “celebrates [Biggie’s] life via rare behind-the-scenes footage and the testimonies of his closest friends and family.”
The first of the month also brings two-thirds of the Christopher Nolan-directed rebooted Batman trilogy: 2005’s Batman Begins and 2008’s The Dark Knight. Long before the phrase “Marvel Cinematic Universe” was a thing, these movies represented an important foothold for comic-book movies. These were the films that helped popularize, for better or worse, the phrase “gritty reboot,” but beyond all that–these are both very good films, whether you’re a Batman comics fan or not. Christian Bale does an impressive double-duty as tortured billionaire Bruce Wayne and the reclusive superhero, and it is legitimately plausible to enjoy these films as legitimate films.
On March 5, Pokémon Journeys continues with Part 4. The series takes Ash and Pikachu as “they embark on adventures across multiple regions in the Pokémon world, meeting new characters and discovering more Pokémon along the way.”
Below, you’ll find everything coming to Netflix this week, and if you’re interested in more streaming news, check out the biggest shows that are just over the horizon in 2021. You can also check out what Disney+, Hulu, and Shudder have in store this month.

Star Wars’ Obi-Wan Series Casts Game Of Thrones’ Indira Varma – Report
Game of Thrones and Carnival Row actor Indira Varma is joining the cast of Disney+’s Obi-Wan Star Wars series, according to a report from Deadline.
Varma’s character details remain under wraps, and production is reportedly beginning this spring. She will be joining Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen on the new show, with both actors reprising their roles. McGregor returns as the titular Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Christensen will be playing Darth Vader.
The series will take place between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. Deborah Chow will be directing Obi-Wan. Chow has already been involved in Disney+’s Star Wars universe, directing a couple episodes of The Mandalorian.
“I’m more excited about doing this one than I was doing the second and third one that we did before,” McGregor told the Empire Podcast. “I’m just excited about working with Deborah Chow, and the storylines are going to be really good I think. I’m just excited to play him again. It’s been long enough since I played him before.”
This isn’t the only Star Wars project that’s planned on the streaming service. Shows featuring Boba Fett, Cassian Andor, Lando Calrissian, High Republic’s The Acolyte, Ahsoka Tano, and Rangers of the New Republic. And yes, there are still more movies coming as well. The next Star Wars release is the Clone Wars spin-off animated series The Bad Batch, which arrives on May 4.
New Rainbow Six Siege Update Re-Enables Fuze On Test Server, Implements Bug Fix For Flores
Ubisoft has released a new patch for Rainbow Six Siege, which adds Fuze back to the game, though only on the PC test server. The patch also implements several bug fixes.
Fuze was removed from all Siege playlists (except for Custom) via an update on February 26. Picking the operator was causing an issue that would make Siege crash. The bug attached to the operator is now supposedly fixed, though Ubisoft is keeping him on the test server for now.
As mentioned before, the patch also fixes several in-game bugs. Among them is a bug that was affecting Flores, Siege’s latest operator, who was added in Year 6, Season 1: Crimson Heist. The patch fixes a bug that prevented players from hearing Flores’ RCE-Ratero Charges going off on the other side of a wall.
The full patch notes are listed below.
Rainbow Six: Siege March 1 Update Patch Notes
Updates On Crashes
- Fuze has been re-enabled on the Test Server following a crash-related bug fix.
