Something weird is happening with GameStop stock in that it’s currently trading at an all-time high. But this isn’t a sign that GameStop has miraculously turned its fortunes around overnight. Instead, the stock surge is a result of a very strange confluence of opposing stock traders and dare I say, stock trolling.
The video game retail chain saw its stocks jump to an all-time high of $76.76 per share today. Compared to last year when shares were trending as low as $3 a share. The 80% surge today from its already upward trending $43 per share opening price forced GameStop to temporarily halt trading according to Bloomberg.
How did this happen? GameStop’s stock (traded as GME) has been trending upward all January. But behind the scenes, the reasoning for the jump has less to do with GameStop’s actual business performances and more to do with a fight between short-sellers like Citron Research and the subreddit r/WallStreetBets.
Short selling is a strategy where an investor will borrow stock in exchange for an IOU. They can then sell the stock for a set price, let’s say 20 shares for $400. That stock could then lose value, and the investor can buy back 20 shares for $300. They’ll then return the 20 shares back to the original stock owner and pocket the extra $100.
Several firms have shorted GameStop, including Citron Research, a short-seller specializing in bets that companies will fail. The idea wasn’t far-fetched given the spate of GameStop’s bad news ranging from store closures to the general health of stores during the COVID-19 pandemic.
On the opposing “side” so to speak are users of the subreddit WallStreetBets and finance influencers on TikTok (or FinTok) who, through a combination of chaotic investing and savvy, predicted investors would try and short GameStop stock and made moves to profit from it.
There were also signs the market became somewhat more optimistic for GameStop after it promoted Ryan Cohen, co-founder of pet retail empire Chewy, as a board member. Cohen has spoken publicly about plans to turn GameStop into some kind of digital retail leader.
Redditors and others moved ahead of short-sellers by buying GameStop stock early when it was incredibly cheap. As short sellers moved to “cover” their short by buying back the stock they needed to return to their lenders, prices began to climb, forcing the short sellers to accelerate their buying, which in turn continued to drive up stock prices, creating a short squeeze.
Basically, it set off a chain reaction of short-sellers trying to cut any of their losses by purchasing more GameStop stock, which drove prices up even further.
There are testimonials on Reddit and elsewhere of people profiting from this sudden surge. Some have shared their GME portfolios hitting as high as $5 million USD in value.
Vice and Ars Technica have excellent explainers on the full “war” between WallStreetBets and short-sellers, but ultimately GameStop’s stock success is a strange case of the wild world of speculative investing.
GameStop has declined to comment on its stock performance.
Microsoft knew that announcing a significant price hike to Xbox Live Gold wasn’t going to go over well. That’s why it dumped the news on a Friday. So what’s the deal – or lack thereof, in this case? In short, $60 will now get you just six months of Gold instead of 12. Three months is $30, and one month is $11. The new pricing isn’t quite as bad as it looks on the surface, but to be clear, it isn’t good either, for a number of reasons.
First, it’s a straight-up surprise considering how Microsoft has spent the past few years not just saying but doing the right thing by gamers. Backwards compatibility, Xbox Game Pass, Smart Delivery, etc. – Microsoft has been focused on doing the right thing by its consumers, earning goodwill from the gaming community for a while now. This sharp price increase on the service, which is required to play even free-to-play multiplayer games, is both unexpected and unfortunate.
Similarly, while Microsoft would probably say it worries about its own business and not its competition, the reality is that for a company trying to woo back gamers who fled to PS4 after the Xbox 360 and lure in new gamers making a critical choice of which video game platform to buy for the very first time, Xbox Live Gold now costs twice as much as PlayStation Plus does. But OK, let’s look at PC. Microsoft has repeatedly insisted that they don’t care if you buy an Xbox console or not, as long as you’re in the Xbox ecosystem, and this move seems to rather darkly back up its own statement. Xbox Live Gold services are still, for the time being, free on PC! For instance: if you’ve got the rig to run it, Halo Infinite multiplayer will be completely free to play for you this Fall. On Xbox, that privilege will cost $120 per year.
In theory, the Xbox community might be more accepting of this price change had it been executed gradually. After all, Microsoft isn’t running a charity. Costs go up. Revenue and profits must be had. Netflix raised its prices not too long ago. And to its credit, Microsoft hadn’t upped the price of Xbox Live Gold in a decade. The company obviously made a deliberate choice to rip the Band-Aid off all at once. OK, that’s the team’s choice, but making that choice in the middle of a pandemic, when times are tough for many people and video games are one of the few forms of entertainment still completely accessible from home…well, again, it’s not a good look, and for consumers on a budget, it downright sucks.
Xbox Live Gold → Xbox Game Pass Ultimate? Microsoft Hopes So
What’s clear to most people reacting to this news is that it seems like an obvious push to drive more Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions. The top-tier Game Pass service runs $15 per month or $180 per year compared to $10 per month or $120 per year for the standard Game Pass. Either remains a heck of a great deal for the Netflix-like bounty of games on offer each month. The difference, though, is that Ultimate not only adds Game Pass on PC, but it also includes Xbox Live Gold, whereas regular Game Pass does not. And so, should you opt to choose Game Pass Ultimate, one way you could look at this is that you’re paying the same $120 per year for Game Pass and the same annual $60 for Xbox Live gold, but getting the PC benefit for free. The choice feels like a no-brainer, but for the wrong reasons.
The bottom line is that Xbox Live Gold is a worse deal today than it was yesterday – particularly for players who are heavily invested primarily in one multiplayer game, be it Destiny, Apex Legends, PUBG, etc. The silver lining – if you can call it that – is that it’s only a worse deal for new players. Existing Gold subscribers on a 6- or 12-month membership will continue to have their memberships renewed at the old rates. I suspect that’s most of the people reading this, but again, punishing new players at the start of a generation in which Microsoft is looking to regain some of the marketshare it lost to Sony last generation is (say it with me) not a good look.

Mass Effect 2‘s Jack was originally supposed to be pansexual, but her romance arc was changed after BioWare looked at the media reception to romances in the original game, as reported by The Gamer.
Since Mass Effect 2’s release 11 years ago, fans have wondered why Jack was could only be romanced by a male Commander Shepard, since she makes references to being with partners of different genders in some of her voice lines. After the original game’s launch in 2007, Fox News held a panel about the game’s depictions of sex and sexuality. The panel criticized both Mass Effect 1’s sex scenes and the ability to romance Liara T’Soni as either a male or female Shepard.
Talking about the development of Jack’s romance in an interview with The Gamer, writer Brian Kindregan said: “She was essentially pansexual for most of the development of that romance.” But the Fox News panel created a domino effect that changed things.
“Mass Effect had been pretty heavily and really unfairly criticized in the US by Fox News, which at the time… maybe more people in the world thought that there was a connection between reality and what gets discussed on Fox News,” Kindregan said. “The development team of Mass Effect 2 was a pretty progressive, open-minded team, but I think there was a concern at pretty high levels that if [the first] Mass Effect, which only had one gay relationship, Liara – which on paper was technically not a gay relationship because she was from a mono-gendered species – I think there was a concern that if that had drawn fire, that Mass Effect 2 had to be a little bit careful.”
Courtenay Taylor, the actress who voiced Jack, also was under the impression that Jack was supposed to be a pansexual character. In an interview with The Gamer, she said: “It’s funny to me because my understanding was always that she was pansexual. So I don’t know if that’s just something I inferred from the character or something that she said that maybe got cut. I was surprised there wasn’t a female romance possible because that was my understanding.”
Despite this understanding from both her original writer and actor, Jack was made a heterosexual romance option, and with Liara only appearing in DLC, the only queer romances available were Kelly Chambers, Samara, and Morinth. No queer men were made available at all, and Samara and Morinth aren’t actual romance options, as Samara will turn Shepard down and Morinth will literally kill them.
With WandaVision on Disney+ now streaming, the Elizabeth Olsen/Paul Bettany series about, of course, Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch and Vision, is raising a lot of questions among fans. And one of the biggest is regarding who exactly Geraldine is, the character played by Teyonah Parris.
So let’s catch up on the history of Geraldine, who according to Marvel Studios is actually known as Monica Rambeau. We’ve seen her before in the MCU, specifically in the Captain Marvel movie where she was still a little girl.
If you don’t know Monica Rambeau and some of the many names she’s had over the years—including Captain Marvel!—let us shine some light on this hero.
Spoilers follow for WandaVision through Episode 3.
Monica got her start in the Marvel universe in 1982’s The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #16. Created by Roger Stern and John Romita Jr., she made her debut as the “all-new, all-different, all-terrific Captain Marvel” when she and Peter Parker crossed paths in their plain clothes. Literally, she walked past him, and his Spider-Sense went off to tell him that she was someone extraordinary. Worried that she might draw unwanted attention in a bad neighborhood, Peter changed into his costume to keep an eye on her. He quickly discovered that she can take care of herself.
Caught by surprise, Monica blasted Spider-Man thinking he was another hoodlum; she hadn’t yet learned to fully control her powers. She was the new Captain Marvel, an unorthodox lieutenant in the New Orleans Police Department before she was granted staggering powers as the result of being blasted by extra-dimensional energy. Turned into pure electromagnetic energy herself, Monica can fly, travel close to the speed of light, convert her body into energy, and fire photon blasts.
Monica went to the Avengers for help controlling her powers, and she became a member of the team. A natural leader thanks to her commanding personality and time in the police force, it wasn’t not long before she was promoted to leader of the Avengers. However, when she was left powerless after expending all of her energy in a battle, Monica returned to patrolling the New Orleans harbor for a brief period. Naturally, her powers returned (because comics), and in time she would choose two new monikers: Photon, and later Pulsar.
By the time of the Infinity storyline in 2013, Monica had taken yet another superhero name, Spectrum. She joined the Mighty Avengers alongside Luke Cage, Power Man, White Tiger, and the Superior Spider-Man to stop Proxima Midnight from destroying New York City. Later, Monica took her place in the Ultimates lineup with Carol Danvers—Captain Marvel—before returning once again to the Avengers.
Photon, Pulsar, and More: Monica Rambeau’s Many Superhero Names
Monica was dubbed Captain Marvel after her first somewhat accidental outing as a superhero. In command of a small boat before donning her costume for the first time, a witness overheard Monica called “Captain” by her companion. When the police arrived, the witness could only say, “Capitan est maravilla!” Captain Marvel was born. There was no hero bearing the name at the time as Mar-Vell, the original Captain Marvel, had succumbed to cancer, so the name stuck.
After some time passed, the son of Mar-Vell, named Genis-Vell, met Monica and offered to let her keep the title after his initial misgivings. She declined, saying she had picked a new name to “stop living in other people’s shadows.” She chose Photon. (In the film version of Captain Marvel, Photon is Maria Rambeau’s call sign, a nice nod to the comics.)
Genis-Vell later decided he wanted the name Photon when his body was transformed into photonic energy after being grievously injured. “I can’t be my father–I have to be something different,” he told Monica as they brainstormed superhero names over drinks. She finally settled on Pulsar, saying simply, “I like that one.”
After a while, Monica just went by, well, Monica. This is likely the name most people think of when they think of the character, for clarity’s sake. But once again, Monica changed her superhero name to Spectrum after taking the lead on the team known as the Mighty Avengers. She was most recently part of this year’s “No Road Home” storyline with her fellow Avengers, still bearing the name Spectrum, so that might be the one that finally sticks.
Who is Geraldine in WandaVision?
2019’s Captain Marvel movie introduces us to a young Monica, daughter of Maria and friend of Carol, who’s a lieutenant herself—Lieutenant Trouble, that is. (Carol’s nickname for her is another perfect tongue-in-cheek homage to the original character.) The 11-year-old (played by Akira Akbaris) is instrumental in choosing Carol’s costume as Captain Marvel. Years will pass before we will see her again as an adult, this time in WandaVision, and perhaps that series will see her gain powers and become a superhero like in the comics. She could even take her mother’s callsign, Photon, for her superhero name.
For now, however, it seems as though Geraldine/Monica is an agent working for SWORD, which makes sense since Nick Fury now runs that secret organization, and a younger Fury was palling around with Monica’s mom and Captain Marvel back when Monica was a kid.
It does seem that Monica is infiltrating the false reality that Wanda is living in, and probably has created, in WandaVision. Somehow she takes the name Geraldine along the way, and it’s not clear whether or not she’s fully aware of her true identity while she is in that sitcom-like world (called Westview). But when she starts to realize something is wrong and questions Wanda about Wanda’s dead brother Pietro, who was killed by Ultron in the MCU’s “real world,” Wanda expels Monica from Westview.
In the comics, Monica’s origin story is tied to the nefarious Roxxon Corporation in New Orleans—which viewers of Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger are very familiar with. If she is a superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, will her powers be tied to Roxxon? Or directly to Wanda Maximoff herself due to the events of WandaVision? It’s almost impossible to predict what kind of role Monica Rambeau will ultimately take in the MCU. No matter what it is, we can’t wait to see her light up the screen.

Phoenotopia: Awakening–previously a Switch exclusive–is now available on PC via Steam. This action-adventure puzzle platformer is a full-blown remake of 2014’s Phoenotopia, a popular Flash game.
In Phoenotopia: Awakening, you play as Gale, a simple villager. When mysterious invaders appear from the sky and abduct all the adults, you suddenly become the oldest person in the village. Despite your lack of combat training and knowledge about the outside world, you take responsibility for the situation and set out on an adventure to save the grown-ups.
Gameplay-wise, Phoenotopia: Awakening features top-down, open-world exploration when you’re wandering through the landscape and transitions into a side-scrolling action-platformer when you enter towns, dungeons, and other key areas. Combat is difficult, relying on stamina.
But enemies and powerful bosses aren’t the only challenge you’ll encounter–the game’s many dungeons are commonly compared to the difficult puzzle-filled labyrinths seen in 2D The Legend of Zelda games. But at least you’ll be grooving while you’re scratching your head, as the game features over 60 original tracks, many of which are really good.
The game is quite hefty with content for those looking for a game to fill up a few weekends. Developer Cape Cosmic estimates the full campaign will take you 30 hours–for completionists, it will take you about 50 total hours to beat the main story and then also find the 33 energy gems, 55 heart pieces, and 111 moonstones, as well as unlock the 33 achievement badges.
With the ICA exposed, Hitman 3‘s next stop is the vineyards of a known Providence member who may be brewing more than just a fine wine behind the scenes.
Here are all of Mendoza’s assassination challenges and everything you need to do to complete them. For more tips and secrets, be sure to read our Hitman 3 walkthrough and guide hub. Otherwise, check out our other assassination guides below.
Tamara Vidal only has one type of wine that she cares for, and it happens to be a rare bottle of Pinot. While she’s on her rounds with Burnwood, disguise yourself as a waiter and make your way down to the bar area on the ground floor. A bottle of Pinotcan be found in the storeroom to the right side of the bar, and once you have it, you can wait for Vidal to appear.
Poison her glass with a lethal toxin to complete the Notes of Hemlock and Tasteless, Traceless challenges when you serve her favorite drink to her. Or, to complete the Hold My Hair challenge, you can use an emetic poison instead and follow Vidal when she retreats to the bathroom.
Pulp Friction
Vidal, Burnwood, and Yates’ fixer Corvo Black are scheduled to take a tour of the vineyard, which leads to a perfect opportunity for some mayhem. You’re able to disguise yourself as either Black or the chief winemaker, with the head of the vineyard’s disguise being particularly useful in this mission story. When he sends his assistant off to pluck three grapes from the harvest, distract him over to a secluded spot by running a nearby water pump machine.
Once disguised, you’ll be able to lead the group on an informative tour. You’ll have several opportunities to take care of Vidal, which includes using an industrial grape-pressing machine that ends with a gruesome demise. Lead the group over to the grape crushers, and Vidal will lean over to take a look. One quick shove is all it takes, and she’ll join the Yates estate as a grisly new wine vintage, completing the Pulp Friction challenge.
Coldhearted
For a colder approach, carry out the tour as normal but make a stop by the freezer on your way. Make certain that you have a screwdriver equipped, and when Vidal stands inside the freezing unit you can trap her, thereby tampering with the locking mechanism outside of it. Black will also be caught in the assassination, which results in two potential problems being eliminated as part of the Coldhearted challenge.
Firebrand
The last stop on 47’s vineyard tour is a chance to assassinate Vidal via electrocution. This works best if Black is not in your party, and involves some preparation before you start the tour. In the wine factory, grab a screwdriver, a wrench, and a fuse cell. Distract the worker near the grape pressing machine so that you can tamper with the wiring on the floor, then sabotage the pumps with the wrench so that the room is flooded with wine.
Insert the fuse cell in a nearby junction box and then subdue the chief winemaker so that you can disguise yourself as him. Start the tour, and give Vidal a look at the grape crushing machine. Quickly run out, make certain that Burnwood has followed you out, and activate the power to that room. Vidal will be eliminated through an electrified harvest, earning you more career points for completing the Firebrand challenge.
Pencil Pusher / Straight Shot / Piano Man
While Yates has numerous plans in motion to deal with Diana Burnwood, he’s not averse to trying more legal methods in his quest to discredit his competition. He recently hired a lawyer to dig up dirt on Burnwood, and the legal expert can be found wandering the car park when the Mendoza level begins.
When the lawyer walks into a nearby alcove so that he can admire the setup, you can easily knock him out with the people around you being none the wiser. Ditch any illegal items 47 has on him, make certain that you grab the legal papers, and then head to the mansion. You’ll need to pass a frisk test first, and then announce yourself to the guard at the gate.
Once you’ve been escorted inside, eliminate the guard and hide his body in the cupboard. Set up the legal papers on the desk, and approach Yates in his villa. The two of you will be left alone once you’re in the office, and when Yates decides to inspect your papers, you can make good use of the nearby pen on the desk to assassinate him, completing the Pencil Pusher challenge. You’ll also have a chance to kill Yates with 47’s carbon wire tool or with a bullet to the head, which in turn completes the PianoMan and Straight Shotchallenges.
Get Rid Of The Body
If you’d prefer to get rid of Yates while also watering his garden with his liquidized remains, you can subdue Yates in the office. You’ll have to be wary of the two guards outside the office, but you can toss Yates out the window, climb through, and then drag his body to the plant mulcher. A quick press of the button, and there won’t be any evidence of Yates left to identify when you complete the Get Rid Of The Body challenge.
The Orator / Someone Could Hurt Themselves
Yates is due to give a speech to his assembled guests soon, but 47 will need to set the scene before the potential Constant of Providence leaves his manor. With a suitable disguise acquired, preferably that of a waiter, make your way to the cinema on the ground floor and pick up the Branson MD-2 microphone.
Head outside and back upstairs to the area where Yates will give his speech, swapping the microphone out and then increasing the voltage being fed to it. Run up to the manor, pass a frisk test, and then grab one of the torches near the catering truck. Return to the venue where people have gathered for Yates’ speech, and ignite the barbeque so that Yates will appear.
Stick around to complete The Orator challenge and Someone Could Hurt Themselves challenges, and Yates will give a speech that is shocking, to say the least.
Domestic Disturbance
47 may not be the best agent to play matchmaker, but he can destroy a marriage with a mere folder of incriminating evidence. Infiltrate the Yates wine cellar through either the mansion or the secret passage behind the wine production factory’s barrel room, and you’ll spot a safe that is guarded by two of the elite security agents. To open the safe, you’ll need the code 2006, which will then reveal a secret dossier.
Take this dossier to Yates’ wife Valentina, and she’ll learn how her husband sabotaged her career so that he could win a case. She’ll eventually confront him on the balcony of the manor, and in a fit of rage, she’ll push him over the edge. With your hands still relatively clean, this will complete the DomesticDisturbance challenge.
Murder By Proxy
This double assassination requires a lot of work, but the pay-off is worth it. Infiltrate the barrel room, and Yates will signal that he wants his incredibly rare bottle of Paladin 1945 brought up to his meeting room. ou’ll find an entrance on the right side of the barrels that you can jump down into. Use a screwdriver to open the grate, and you’ll be able to sneak into the room that contains the rare wine. Make certain that the windows have been frosted, and you can take out the Sommelier and his assistant.
Once you’ve assumed the Sommelier disguise, open the vault with the code 1945. Grab the wine bottle, ditch your illegal items, and meet up with the head of security. You’ll then be led to the meeting that Yates is hosting and a showdown will begin between him and Burnwood. You won’t get a chance to poison any of the wine during this sequence as security takes over the wine-pouring duties, but you will see Vidal murdered when she refuses to join the conspiracy to kill Burnwood.
At this point, you’ll have ten minutes to save Burnwood. Infiltrate the mansion and take out the security on the top floor where she’s being held, and the final sequence will begin. Burnwood will fatally wound Yates while 47 takes out his remaining security detail, leaving 47 to finish the job. With both targets down, you’ll have completed the Murder By Proxy challenge.
To Loyalty
An alternative way to complete the Closing Statement mission is to prepare the scene before Yates and his crew arrives. With a lethal poison in your inventory, infiltrate the wine cellar either through the mansion or through the wine production facility. An elite guard outfit works best here, and once you’re in the room, you can taint Yates’ glass with a lethal dose of poison. Allow the rest of the story to play out as intended, and after Burnwood is escorted upstairs, Yates will take his final sip of wine.
With Yates now dead on the floor thanks to the poisoned glass of wine, this will complete the To Loyalty challenge.
