Yesterday, Blizzard shared some backstory for everyone’s favorite flying doctor from Overwatch. Now, players will have an opportunity to unlock Mercy’s Dr. Ziegler legendary skin just by playing games of Overwatch.
From November 12 to December 2 Blizzard is hosting a new Mercy’s Recall Challenge. The limited-time event gives players a chance to earn eight sprays, a player, icon, and the legendary Dr. Ziegler skin that was previewed yesterday in the short story “Valkyrie.”
Earning the rewards won’t require any purchases as the rewards can all be earned by either playing matches in Overwatch or watching Twitch streams.
The Star Wars movies and TV series have spent decades building a world and developing concepts like the Force and alien species and whatever Yoda is, but there’s one thing that’s never been covered, until now: Where do people poop? And is there one receptacle that can accommodate all the different anatomies? The original Disney+ series The Mandalorian finally has an answer to these burning questions.
In the first episode of the new series, the Mandalorian captures his bounty in the bar, the two are aboard his ship. His bounty is a Fledgling Mythrol–played by comedian Horatio Sanz–has to “evacuate” his thorax, so he heads down to the space toilet on the ship, called the Vacc Tube.
You can check it out below, and there is a whole lot going on in this fancy space toilet. However, this Vacc Tube is for a ship. How do toilets on planets differ?
And in the photo above is the space toilet in all its glory. There’s actually a lot going on with this device. There looks to be a shower head that hangs down, a toilet-like device, and two tubes facing it. There are even two bars to hold on to while you “exorcise your demons.”
As for where bodily fluids go after that, some ship captains just like to dump them on planets. After The Mandalorian captures the Fledgling Mythrol, their landspeeder driver–played by comedian Brian Posehn–says, “Be careful around the port. Everyone dumps their Gray Holds out. They think the whole entire planet is their own personal stink pit.” Vacc Tubes and Gray Holds. We sure did learn a lot about pooping in space.
Well, there it is. The most important Star Wars news of the week. We can all go home now. If you’re interested in more, but you haven’t picked up Disney+ yet, check out GameSpot’s The Mandalorian review where Chris E. Hayner said, “With its first episode, The Mandalorian has made a statement about what a live-action Star Wars TV show looks like. Now, with the remaining seven episodes in Season 1, it needs to make a statement about how a Star Wars plot should unfold over a longer form of storytelling.”
Episode 1 of The Mandalorian is now available on Disney+.

A new limited-time event for Overwatch lets you earn your doctorate. The Mercy’s Recall Challenge event runs from November 12 through December 2 and ties in with the short story Valkyrie, which Blizzard released this week. Participating in the event can earn you some cosmetic rewards, including a legendary “Dr. Ziegler” skin for Mercy.
This isn’t a surprise, as the Dr. Ziegler skin was showcased at the end of the short story itself. It features the familiar support character with a lab coat and stethoscope, but still sporting her futuristic Valkyrie boots.
To earn the new skin, you just have to win a set number of games during the event period, which will also earn you sprays. For even more rewards, you can also watch Twitch streamers during the event period to get more sprays. Check out the rewards breakdown below.
Notably, this story is about Mercy struggling with the decision of whether or not to answer Winston’s call and rejoin the fight. We know from the Overwatch 2 trailer that debuted at BlizzCon that the group joining forces again is a major part of the story, so we may see more events laying the groundwork for that in the coming months. We’ll also see redesigned heroes and some new faces in Overwatch 2.
Overwatch Mercy’s Recall Challenge Rewards
Win 3 Games | 1 Player Icon
Win 6 Games | 2 New Sprays
Win 9 Games | New legendary skin: Dr. Ziegler skin
Watch 2 Hours | 1 New Spray
Watch 4 Hours | 2 New Sprays

It’s Disney+ day, which means subscribers get access to an almost absurd amount of content right off the bat. Subscribing is easy, and you even get a 7-day free trial before you have to pay a dime. But once you get into Disney+, you might find yourself overwhelmed with options. What should you watch first? If you’re a Star Wars fan, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve picked through the Disney+ offerings and found all the Star Wars content that’s available. Read on for the goods.
According to a Reddit post, this new Modern Warfare patch is now live for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. While the headlining feature is a slight change to the 725 shotgun, the patch takes aim at preventing crashes across all modes and platforms, modifying the directional sound and speed of footsteps, fixing Mission Challenge descriptions, and more.
A variety of weapons have been altered in this newly-released Modern Warfare patch. The 725 shotgun, capable of shooting and killing from across the map, has had its range reduced. Alongside the 725, the hip spread of assault rifles has been adjusted, the M4 has had its head damage decreased, and both the EB-14 and FAL saw an increase in their aiming down sights (ADS) speed.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has seen a few patches since its October 25 launch on consoles and PC. Apart from this new patch, Infinity Ward released its biggest update to the Modern Warfare reboot to date. The free 1.07 update added new content in the form of maps and an additional game mode, addressed some of the community’s most-pressing complaints, and more.

After the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog movie’s first trailer debuted back in April, fans were not exactly thrilled with the iconic video game character’s design. But it was still shocking when–in what was no doubt a very expensive move–Paramount decided to delay the film and redesign the titular hedgehog to be more in line with fans’ expectations.
That pushed the Sonic movie to a February 2020 release, but it also gave it a much better chance of not totally pissing off everyone who’s ever played a Sonic game. To illustrate the differences, we grabbed screenshots from the old and new trailers and put them side-by-side below.
Is the transformation major enough to warrant a second chance for the Sonic movie? You decide–then let us know what you think in the comments below.
Alright, time to get your butt ready–we’re about to hike all over these damn mountains and connect a bunch of preppers to the chiral network.
If you remember the last time you were asked to do this, you’ll recall that it was never as simple as just heading straight to them, and that’s definitely the case again. You don’t have access to BB during this entire chapter, for reasons that you probably already know by now, so we’ll have to be careful when travelling through BT areas.
What’s more, you’re about to hit some of the toughest terrains in the game. But, I’ll help you out as best as I can. Grab the two critical quests, and let’s head out–we’ll go to the Doctor first.
I suggest grabbing a couple of ladders, or bringing a PCC and materials to build a bridge and/or zipline. We won’t have far to go, but it’s absolutely worth going out of your way to set up some helpful infrastructure or future runs here–you’ll thank yourself later.
No seriously, listen to me: BRING PCCs TO SET UP ZIP LINES.
The new trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog is here. This isn’t technically the first trailer–that appeared back in April–but it does give us the first look at the redesigned Sonic. That initial promo was met with much criticism for the way Sonic looked, so the filmmakers took the unusual step of delaying the film to give its Hedgehog star a complete makeover.
It’s quite clear from the very start that the redesign has essentially made Sonic look way more like the familiar video game character, and less “realistic.” While the initial design made Sonic seem more human, presumably to fit in better with the movie’s real actors, this one has a pure comic book look, with much bigger eyes and mouth, and cartoonish limbs. As for the movie itself, it still looks like huge fun, and there’s lots of footage that wasn’t in the first trailer. Check it out below.
Sonic the Hedgehog hits theaters on February 14, 2020, having been pushed back from this November. Sonic is voiced by Ben Schwartz (Parks and Recreation), with Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik. Westworld’s James Marsden will feature as a state trooper who catches onto Sonic’s super speed.
Director Jeff Fowler was very quick to address the criticism of Sonic’s appearance after the first trailer. Within a day, he had tweeted that the character would be redesigned, with the date change announced soon after to allow for the extensive extra VFX work.
Black Friday this year is going to be here before you know it and there will be plenty of deals to consider, some of which may convince you to make a purchase.
With the prospect of so many deals appearing close to Black Friday, finding a legitimately good deal can be a little stressful. To ease that stress, we’ve put together this guide for those looking to pick up a new TV during the upcoming sales.
The cost of buying a 4K TV continues to drop, and Black Friday presents a brilliant opportunity to upgrade your current set up. TVs get discounted during Black Friday every year, and there’s normally a deal for everyone. If you’re after pure affordability, it will be easy to pick up a cheap 4K TV for less than £350 during the sale. If you’re looking for a more expensive TV, you can often find even more significant discounts across a number of retailers.
