The Tattler twins are back at the freak show with the help of Jimmy, and Dot makes up a tale that helps Elsa’s control of the freak show while snagging a gig as the starring attraction.
Speaking of Jimmy, He and a band of freaks (including Amazon Eve, Ma Petite) rehearse an awesome cover to Nirvana’s “Come As You Are” as Elsa looks on.
Meanwhile, Stanley reveals that he saw Dell at the gay bar: High Noon. This leads to Stanley extorting Dell’s help in getting one of the freaks for sale.
This leads to the horrible demise to one of our favorite Freak Show characters.

This weekend kicks off an absolute assault of spring sales, and if you’re looking to save money on some games, then there hasn’t been a better time in quite a while. The Xbox One store just revealed its slate of spring deals, all of which are available to snag now. Hundreds of games are on sale, including this year’s Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot as well as some of the best games of recent years like Red Dead Redemption 2, Resident Evil 2, and Mortal Kombat 11.
Ubisoft also has a number of its titles discounted. The Division 2 just saw the release of its Warlords of New York expansion and can currently be picked up for $10.49. Ghost Recon Breakpoint is also on sale and recently got a huge free update that added a new Immersive mode.
You can see the full sale over at the Xbox One Store, but be sure to check out our selection of the best deals below. If you’re looking to get a huge library of games you can play without any limits, then Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is only $1 for new subscribers’ first month. It grants you access to game libraries for Xbox One and PC as well as all of the benefits from Xbox Live Gold, including the free Games With Gold for April 2020.
A sequel to the 2013 action-platformer Rogue Legacy is now in development, the game’s creator Cellar Door Games announced. The studio didn’t have much else to share beyond confirming that Rogue Legacy 2 is on the way. However, “a lot more info” about the sequel will be dropping “in the coming days.” For now, Cellar Door shared some in-progress screenshots showing Rogue Legacy 2’s more bubble-like art style.
Rogue Legacy originally launched in 2013 for PC. It was then ported to the PlayStation family of systems–PS3, PS4, and PS Vita–in 2014, Xbox One in 2015, and Nintendo Switch in 2018. The game was also ported over to the iOS platform in 2019.
We gave it an 8/10 in our 2014 Rogue Legacy review, saying, “It doesn’t have the secrets of Spelunky and it’s more predictable than The Binding of Isaac, yet at the end of every game comes a desire to hop right back in, spend your gold on some upgrades and rack up more monster kills, something the game encourages with a challenging new-game-plus option that appears after the credits roll.”
Rogue Legacy 2 currently doesn’t have a release date and Cellar Door Games have yet to confirm any launch platforms.
Week 7 of Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 2 is here, and that means a new batch of challenges is now live in the hit battle royale shooter. This week brings the first set of Skye’s Adventure challenges, and in keeping with the season’s spy theme, one of them asks you to hide in Creepin’ Cardboard at the Box Factory. If you’re not sure where that’s located, this map and guide will point you in the right direction.
Where Is The Box Factory Location?
The trickiest part of this challenge is tracking down the Box Factory. Since it isn’t a named point of interest, the factory isn’t displayed prominently on the in-game map, so you may not even know where to begin looking. As it happens, the Box Factory is located in grid square G7, southwest of Retail Row. You can see exactly where on the map below.
Box Factory location
How To Complete The Challenge
Once you make your way to the Box Factory, all that’s left to do is hide inside a Creepin’ Cardboard. You can find these boxes in various places around the island, but there are a number of them right at the factory, so you can head straight there. Just interact with a box to hide inside it while in the area and the challenge will be complete.
Season 2 of Fortnite Chapter 2 is slated to end later this month, so you still have a little time left to complete any weekly challenges you may have missed from earlier in the season. If you need help clearing those, you can find more maps and guides in our Fortnite Season 2 challenges roundup.
With the coronavirus putting upending release plans for new movies, TV, and even video games, HBO will be offering streaming on classic shows like Veep, True Blood, The Wire, and even new favorites like Succession and Ballers for free. Also included will be movies such as Lego Movie 2 and Detective Pikachu.
Starting April 3, HBO will be streaming almost 500 hours of material on both the HBO Now and HBO Go apps free, but only for a limited time. Game of Thrones and Boardwalk Empire are notably absent from the service, but there are seven seasons of The Sopranos alone, so that should keep any cabin fever sufferer busy for a minute.
All of the content will be available to stream for free via participating distribution partners’ platforms in the coming days as well.
It’s not just the movies and TV, but also documentaries like the recent hit McMillions. HBO is known to do free trial weekends every now and then, but this is a historic move by the company.
Below you can find all of the content streaming for free, including the movies that will be offered with the no-subscription plan. Since it is a WarnerMedia-owned operation, they are limited to Warner Bros studio movies, but it’s not a bad selection.

The PlayStation 4 virtual reality exclusive Marvel’s Iron Man VR has been pushed back “until further notice” amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment announced.
Alongside the Iron Man VR delay, Sony also pushed back the launch of its flagship exclusive The Last of Us Part II, which was originally slated to arrive this May. Neither game now has a release date.
Update: SIE has made the difficult decision to delay the launch of The Last of Us Part II and Marvel’s Iron Man VR until further notice. Logistically, the global crisis is preventing us from providing the launch experience our players deserve.
Iron Man VR previously held a February 2020 released date before developer Camouflaj and Sony pushed the game back to May 2020. Both Iron Man VR and TLOU2 were scheduled to launch within two weeks of each other, with the former arriving on May 15 and the latter coming out on May 29. The two PS4 games now share two delays in common.
Camouflaj and Sony revealed Iron Man VR back in March 2019 as a PSVR exclusive. While we still haven’t seen too much of the game since then, director Ryan Payton said the studio aims to tell “a deeply personal, and appropriately funny, narrative” in Iron Man VR that sees Tony confront “ghosts from his past.”

Spring is in full bloom, and with the changing of seasons comes a new wave of digital games sales. The Nintendo Switch Eshop and PlayStation Store have already kicked off their respective sales, and now the Epic Games Store is jumping into the action with over 100 discounts on PC games. The sale will be live all month long, ending May 1. If you still have a $10 coupon from the Epic holiday sale, you can (and should) use that on any games $15 or more this month–the coupons expire May 1.
Epic’s Spring Sale includes Red Dead Redemption II, which released on PC last year. The acclaimed open-world adventure is on sale for $48; you can also find discounts on its Special and Ultimate editions. You can also get one of the best games of 2019, Control, for $39. With the new Foundation DLC out now, there’s no better time to dive into this mind-bending story. Alan Wake, another excellent Remedy game, is on sale for just $4.49.
If you’re feeling a bit lonely while stuck inside these days, the Jackbox Party Packs are an easy, fun way to play party games online with your friends or family, and all six bundles are currently on sale. Jackbox Party Packs each come with a variety of games that anyone with the room code can join in on using any device, including a phone or tablet. From Fibbage to Quiplash, Jackbox games usually involve coming up with wacky answers to questions or drawing something weird to pair with a phrase, and they’re always great to break out at parties. Of course, no one’s having IRL parties right now, but you could easily set up a Jackbox hang out to catch up and let out some tension with friends. Plus, Drawful 2 is one of several free games on Epic right now. (Plus, see our full roundup of all the free games you can claim on PS4, Xbox One, and more.)
Of course, there are plenty of other games on sale as well. The Division 2 is down to $9.89, The Outer Worlds is on sale for $39, and Borderlands 3 is discounted to $30. You can check out more of our picks from the Epic Spring Sale below, and see the full collection of deals at Epic.

The Simpsons was one of the many shows that arrived on Disney+ in November last year, with all 30 seasons to date available to watch. However, there was almost immediate controversy when fans spotted that all the episodes were in the 16:9 aspect ratio, meaning that older seasons were cropped from their original 4:3 ratio. Disney responded by stating that the first 19 seasons of the show will be made available in their original ratio at some point, and now the studio has revealed when this will happen.
In a tweet, Disney stated that it appreciates fans’ patience while they wait for the corrected episodes, and that the studio “expects to accomplish this by the end of May.” Check the tweet out below:
We appreciate our fans’ patience and are working to make the first 19 Seasons (and part of 20) of #TheSimpsons available in 4:3 versions on #DisneyPlus. We expect to accomplish this by the end of May.
The main issue for fans was that that those earlier seasons were made in 4:3. By putting them into widescreen, bits of the top and bottom of the image were cropped out, which affected many of the visual jokes throughout the seasons. In November, a Disney statement read, “we presented The Simpsons in 16:9 aspect ratio at launch in order to guarantee visual quality and consistency across all 30 seasons. Over time, Disney+ will roll out new features and additional viewing options. As part of this, in early 2020, Disney+ will make the first 19 seasons (and some episodes from Season 20) of The Simpsons available in their original 4:3 aspect ratio, giving subscribers a choice of how they prefer to view the popular series.”
In related news, veteran Simpsons actor Hank Azaria recently spoke about his decision to stop voicing Apu on the show. The Indian-American character has appeared in the Simpsons since the very first season in 1990, but in more recent years, the show has become accused of racial stereotyping. “Once I realized that that was the way this character was thought of, I just didn’t want to participate in it anymore,” Azaria said. “It just didn’t feel right.”

Apex Legends is getting a new limited-time event all about Bloodhound, but it’s coinciding with a permanent change that should make fans happy. When the Old Ways Lore Event begins on April 7, players will be able to select from the game’s two maps: Kings Canyon or World’s Edge.
As detailed on the EA Blog, the update will add permanent map rotation to the game, letting you choose which map to play in Trios or the newly-returning Duos. This is a marked change from the previous status quo, as Kings Canyon would only be available through limited-time events after it was replaced by World’s Edge.
The Old Ways Lore Event will run from April 7-21, offering a Town Takeover in World’s Edge and a new exclusive prize track with exclusive cosmetics.
Apex Legends general manager Dusty Welch recently hinted at a pleasant surprise for Titanfall fans coming in Season 5. Though it’s unclear just what he meant, the recent appearance of a creature from the planet Leviathan could be an indication of another third map coming to the battle royale, set on the location from Titanfall 2.

Despite The Last Of Us 2 delay, developer Naughty Dog has dropped a bunch of new The Last of Us Part 2 screenshots to tide eager fans over while we wait for the game’s now-unclear release date.
The screens are all captured on a PS4 Pro, showing off The Last of Us 2’s incredible detail in everything from its lighting to its skin textures and more. We also get a better look at Old Man Joel, both blinded by the sun and strumming around on an acoustic guitar. The TLOU2 screens also show Joel’s younger brother Tommy sitting across from Ellie in a room, Ellie exploring some overgrown forest, and more.
You can check them out below.
Getting some very Red Dead Redemption 2 vibes here.
Some other games are being affected by the coronavirus, including Halo Infinite and Final Fantasy VII Remake. Particularly in the case of FFVII Remake, Square Enix said it’s doing everything it can to ensure that physical copies of the game arrive at or around the April 10 release date. For now, the launch of both games remain unchanged.
