Borderlands 3 contains plenty of Easter eggs, some of which even extend to references to the game’s predecessors. One such example is a callback to a fairly notable side mission in Borderlands 2, where the main antagonist Handsome Jack offers you money to leap off a cliff. It’s a relatively simple quest to do–especially since you’ll just be immediately revived afterward–but you’ll have to live with the shame that you’ll do anything for money. In Borderlands 3, main antagonist Tyreen offers you a similar deal and for an even more tempting reward.

You can find the quest on Eden-6, and you’ll most likely run into it while hunting down Clay’s former team members during a story mission. You’ll hear about the quest way before you see it, as Tyreen will call you when you’re in the vicinity and offer to give you a reward if you let her kill you on stream. From there, she’ll direct you toward a very loud, violent-looking machine and present you with a choice: throw away your pride and step into a massive crusher or shoot out the cameras and walk away with your self-respect intact.

I agreed to Tyreen’s terms so you don’t have to give her the satisfaction. That said, you may still want to do it as you get a pretty good gun for doing what Tyreen tells you, and the weapon has a fairly funny effect too. For submitting to Tyreen’s demands, you get nearly a full minute of her teasing you for your insatiable hunger for more loot as well as a legendary Maliwan pistol called the Hazardous Sellout. You can see the gun in action in the video embedded above.

As a Maliwan gun, the Hazardous Sellout switches between two elemental ammo types–in this case incendiary and corrosive. Ironically, Tyreen gifts you with one of the best guns in the game for burning through the defenses used by the most powerful bandits within her group of followers, as all Children of Vault are weak to fire and some carry turrets that erode with poison. But that’s not all the Hazardous Sellout does.

The gun talks. Tyreen, the self-proclaimed God-Queen, will continue to speak with you through the gun for as long as you’re holding it. Most of what she says is an insult, like calling you a sellout (or much worse) and teasingly referring to you as one of her followers who will do anything she asks. However, she’ll also aid your opposition, calling out to enemies you might be trying to sneak past or informing her followers when they should push forward because you’re reloading.

One of the Joker’s most iconic traits is his maniacal laugh, and it proved to be one of the most challenging aspects of the character for actor Joaquin Phoenix to master in the forthcoming standalone DC movie.

At a recent post-screening Q&A for press in L.A., Phoenix and Joker director Todd Phillips recounted how the actor invited Phillips over to his house so he could try out the laugh for him. “Because I didn’t think I could do it,” Phoenix revealed.

Phillips detailed how there are actually three different, distinct Joker laughs in the film, but the one he said was the most difficult for Phoenix to find was the one Phillips came to call “the affliction laugh.” Phillips showed Phoenix videos of people who suffered from pathological laughter as a result of medical conditions like head trauma.

Stop me if you’ve heard this before: a major tech company launches a gaming service that hand-curates new, intriguing games on a regular, scheduled basis. The games aren’t AAA, big-budget blockbusters, but are instead charming original works from small teams of creatives.

If you were thinking, “Xbox Live Arcade,” you’re absolutely right. During my time at the Apple Park campus to check out a handful of the 100+ games (see more in the trailer below) launching with the new Apple Arcade subscription service, which itself goes live this Thursday, September 19, I couldn’t help but feel like I was back in the good ol’ Xbox Live Arcade days. Except instead of games costing $5-$10 each, it’s $5 per month for unlimited access to everything on Apple Arcade.

Around a decade after its original release, Minecraft continues to grow and reach astonishing new player records. According to Business Insider, the game reached a new monthly player milestone.

As of this week, the open-ended sandbox game has more than 112 million monthly players. This is up substantially from the 91 million monthly players that Microsoft announced in October 2018. The numbers count players on all platforms: console, PC, mobile, and others.

To put Minecraft’s popularity in context, Epic announced in August 2018 that Fortnite had 78.3 million monthly players. Meanwhile, the MMO creation game Roblox reached 100 million monthly active users in August 2019.

Minecraft still receives regular updates, while the game was added to Xbox Game Pass in April 2019; this no doubt helped expand the footprint of the popular game even further.

Minecraft boss Helen Chiang told Business Insider that Minecraft is a game that people enjoy coming back to again and again. “It may not always be the one that’s in the forefront, because there are a lot of great games that continue to come out, but it’s one that they love to return to,” Chiang said.

Microsoft acquired the Minecraft franchise and developer Mojang in 2014 for $2.5 billion. Series creator Markus “Notch” Persson is no longer involved with the franchise. He spent $70 million on a Beverly Hills mansion, outbidding Beyonce and Jay-Z for the home.

Looking ahead, a Minecraft movie is on the way. Writer Allison Schroeder (Hidden Figures, Frozen 2) was hired to pen the latest draft of the screenplay The Minecraft movie is scheduled for release in theatres on March 4, 2022. There is no word yet on if it will be animation or live action, or a hybrid, nor do we know who may star in it. At one point, Steve Carell was apparently connected to the project, though it’s unclear if that’s still the case.

The next new Minecraft game is the AR title Minecraft Earth, which is scheduled to release later this year.
