Tetris 99 is the “This is Fine” meme in video game form – only instead of ignoring encroaching flames, you have to keep your cool during an onslaught of gray garbage blocks piling onto the screen from any of 98 other players in the match, making each moment more panicked than the last. Sometimes it really is fine, and the right sequence of movements mixed with a little luck returns my grid to a nice, orderly structure. Other times the garbage is too much, and all that remains of my screen is a gray dumpster that signals an early exit from this frantic, pulse-racing spin on one of the most beloved puzzle games of all time.

I get irrationally nervous during a seemingly solid run; a palms sweaty, heart beating out of my chest, jittery kind of nervous. If I had a blood pressure cuff on during a top-10 run, my doctor would probably tell me I need to be on medication. When I make it into the top five, I feel like I can run through a brick wall. I also feel like I’m going to pass out. I’m 99 percent sure Tetris 99 is bad for my health. It’s a vice I will gladly live with, though, because the overbearing tension is also what makes it such a thrilling and ultimately fulfilling multiplayer experience.

Battlerite Royale Going Free to Play

The MOBA brawler Battlerite Royale has officially gone free to play.

As of today, Battlerite Royale has moved out of Steam Early Access and into a free to play structure. Stunlock Studios is also releasing the “BIG PATCH” today, which introduces three new Champions, two new areas, and new regional objects added to certain parts of the map.

The new Champions are Oldur who can bend space and time, Taya the tornado summoner, and Pearl who can unleash the ocean’s fury. The two new areas are the Frozen Plateau and Trade’s Islet. On top of this, players will be able to purchase the Legendary Adventure Pack 2, which features a new mount.

The BIG PATCH also introduces the Battle Pass system, which gives players a Free Pass and the option to upgrade to a Premium Pass, which can unlock exclusive cosmetics. The All Champions Packs for Battlerite and Battlerite Royale are priced at $20.

Umbrella Academy: What Happened to Ben?

This story contains spoilers for The Umbrella Academy comics and Netflix series.

Whether you’re watching the Netflix show or reading the comics, Umbrella Academy fans are dying to know the answer to one burning question: what happened to Ben Hargreeves AKA Number 6 AKA The Horror. We know he’s dead, but how?

An Unhappy Child

In the comics, the flashback scenes we do see of Ben show whipping tentacles emerging from his stomach, and we get a sense that he’s insanely powerful, but we really get no insight into what kind of personality he had as a young child.

Sir Reginald Hargreeves does mention in a personal note in the comics that #6 is “easily manipulated due to enthusiastic if naive nature.” And in Vanya’s book, she writes about The Horror, calling him “the kindest of my siblings, but he was so eager to please Father. He was easily manipulated, dragged into Father and Luther’s little games — and those two simply let him die.”

New Pokemon Go Limited Research Event Features First Chance To Catch Clamperl

Niantic has announced a new Limited Research event for Pokemon Go. Much like a Community Day, the event will run for three hours this coming Saturday, February 23, and it’ll give players their first opportunity to catch a never-before-available Pokemon: Clamperl.

During the Limited Research event, players will be able to receive special Field Research tasks by spinning the Photo Disc at PokeStops. Other Water Pokemon, such as Krabby and Wailmer, will also appear more frequently throughout the event, and players will be rewarded with twice the normal amount of Stardust for every Water-type they catch.

Just as during the first Limited Research event, you’ll be able to complete the special Field Research tasks you collect any time, even after the event ends, but they’ll only be distributed during the designated hours. Completing these tasks will end in an encounter with Clamperl, one of the last remaining Gen 3 Pokemon yet to appear in Go.

Clamperl has two possible evolutions: Huntail and Gorebyss. In the mainline games, the Pokemon will evolve into one of the two forms depending on what item it is holding when traded; in Go, however, Niantic says you won’t know which form it’ll turn into until it evolves, so you’ll want to capture as many as possible during the event to ensure you get both evolutions. You can find the event hours for each region below.

A special Meltan event is also currently underway in Pokemon Go. Until March 4, you’ll have a chance of encountering a Shiny Meltan when you open the Mystery Box. On top of that, the time you need to wait to re-open the box has been shortened by three days.

Netflix’s Umbrella Academy: Every Change Between The Show And The Comics

8. Apocalypse Suite vs Dallas

From the minor to the major, one of the biggest and most obvious things Umbrella Academy comics fans will notice about the show’s treatment of the source material is the way it fuses the first two story arcs into one. The first two comics arcs, Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite and Umbrella Academy: Dallas, focus on Vanya and her transformation and Number Five and his mysterious past, respectively–but, it turns out, they’re two great tastes that go great together, at least for Netflix’s purposes.

New Apex Legends Weapon Announced, Havoc Arrives Tomorrow

Respawn Entertainment has revealed that a new gun is on the way to its popular battle royale title, Apex Legends. The announcement was short and sweet, with a video of the rifle in question being posted to the official Apex Legends Twitter account. The video has a glitching effect going on, so it’s difficult to get a good look at it, but it seems like the weapon can be fired like an automatic rifle and will have an alternate fire that lets the player charge a shot. Take a look for yourself below.

Respawn hasn’t said exactly when the new weapon will be added to Apex Legends, only that it’ll be available tomorrow (February 20). Of course, we’ll be at hand to let you know when it’s available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. We’ll also take it for a bit of a test run and bring you some video of it in action. Depending on how it performs, we may even add it to our list of best Apex Legends guns.

Apex Legends is a free-to-play title that launched on February 4 and has since become incredibly popular. Respawn has revealed that the game hit 25 million players in the first week of availability and had “well over” 2 million peak concurrent players at one point. The game is set in the Titanfall universe, and although it doesn’t have the iconic giant mechs or the ability to parkour around environments, it retains Titanfall’s frenetic, satisfying gameplay style.

Apex Legends also takes a page out of Overwatch’s book and features a diverse cast of characters that each have unique abilities. This is what gives Respawn’s take on the battle royale genre its own unique flavor.

In GameSpot’s Apex Legends review, critic Phil Hornshaw awarded the game 9/10. “Apex Legends is a mix of smart shooter ideas that makes for a competitive, team-based game that gets at all the best parts of battle royale while addressing a lot of the weaknesses,” he said. “Respawn’s intense focus on team play makes Apex more than just a worthy addition to the genre; it’s an indicator of where battle royale should go in the future.”

The Punisher and Jessica Jones React to Their Cancelations

Warning! SPOILERS for Season 2 of Marvel’s The Punisher below.

Netflix and Marvel have canceled the final two shows left on its superhero roster – The Punisher and Jessica Jones. Now, The Defenders TV universe appears to be dead, unless Hulu or the upcoming Disney+ streaming service swoops in and saves the day.

For now, all we can do is speculate as to why these beloved series were canceled in the first place. Perhaps Disney’s streaming service is responsible? And while these cancellations have been hard for the fans, the actors and creators are also saddened by the news and shared their feelings via social media. Jon Bernthal, aka Frank “The Punisher” Castle, took to Instagram after the news dropped.
