Call Of Duty: Warzone Reaches 100 Million Players

After 13 months, Call of Duty’s free-to-play battle royale has reached a huge player milestone. Activision announced today that 100 million players have dropped into Verdansk, which is a major feat in the battle royale realm with competition like Fortnite and Apex Legends.

Warzone’s accomplishment comes at an exciting time for players, as the ongoing zombies containment action is likely coming to a close, leading in to the Operation Rapid Sunder event on Wednesday, April 21, starting at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET. This upcoming event remains quite a mystery, but with zombies spreading and nukes inbound, the rumored 1980s-themed map is likely on the horizon.

Call of Duty’s Season 3 will follow on April 22, so there’s a lot of content coming for Black Ops: Cold War and Warzone. Players can also expect a narrative-based “Hunt for Adler” limited-time event coming with the launch of Season 3. Completing challenges for this special event will be rewarded with items like weapon charms, calling cards, and a new operator skin.

If you’re planning on joining the millions of players dropping into Warzone for the events, be prepared for another beefy update, which will be more than 25 GB.

Resident Evil Village’s Lady Dimitrescu Stepping On You Would Be Truly Deadly

Ever since her reveal, Resident Evil Village‘s Lady Dimitrescu has dominated the internet thanks in part to her large stature, standing at 9 feet 6 inches tall. If there’s ever been a question fans might have wanted answered about the vampire misses, it’s just what it would feel like to get stepped on by her. The results? A YouTuber estimated what might happen and let’s just say it ends in instant death.

YouTuber Kyle Hill posted a 14-minute video detailing the possible aftermath of Lady Dimitrescu stepping on someone. Hill did this by assuming her body mass index (BMI) and working backward to get her mass, which is the real determining aspect for what would happen as it factors in force used and pressured exerted.

Hill assumed Lady Dimitrescu’s BMI is between 24 and 26. He plugs this number (it’s unclear what number he uses exactly) into a BMI equation to estimate that she weighs 450 pounds. This weight is increased because it’s assumed she will wear heels. After a few more calculations, Hill approximated that Lady Dimitrescu stepping on someone would emit 48 million psi (pounds per square inch). For reference, the Hadal Zone, the deepest region of the ocean, has a pressure level estimated at 15,000 psi.

But what would that actually feel like?

Hill performed a few more calculations and estimations, revealing that a single stomp from Lady Dimitrescu has more than enough pressure to puncture structural steel. To prove this, Hill improvised a Lady Dimitrescu-esque high heel (roughly 500 pounds attached to a workout rig suspended by a pulley system with a steel bolt slapped onto the bottom of a wood block) to step on a simulated head made of ballistic gel and a coconut.

You can imagine the results. Her heel glides through simulated flesh like butter, resulting in instant death. And even without heels, her weight cracks a coconut wide open, also resulting in instant death. Not a good time.

In other Resident Evil Village news, Capcom art director Tomonori Takano talked more about what went into Lady Dimitrescu’s design. We also had a look at about an hour of gameplay and walked away intrigued by how it melds Resident Evil 7’s first-person intensity with the claustrophobic frantic action of Resident Evil 4.

Resident Evil Village launches on May 7 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. Check out our Resident Evil Village preorder guide to learn about the various bonuses and editions available.

Google Adds Pac-Man, Hello Kitty, And Evangelion Unit To AR Search

Google added AR characters from well-known Japanese pop culture franchises in its search function on mobile. You can now find Hello Kitty, Pac-Man, Gundam, Ultraman, Evangelion, and much more represented in their 3D form. A few of the characters, including Cogimyun, Hello Kitty, and Pompompurin, come with their own audio and can “talk.”

You’ll need to be on mobile to use Google AR and view the 14 new characters. While in Google, search for a character’s name and then tap on View in 3D. Android devices can access the AR search function in Google search and iOS devices need to go through the Google app. Android 7 Plus with ARCore enabled and iOS 11.0+ devices can view 3D and AR content.

Full list of characters added:

  • Ultraman
  • Ultraman Zero
  • Ultraman Belial
  • Gomora
  • Evangelion (EVA Unit 1)
  • Gundam (Odysseus Gundam, Xi Gundam, Penelope)
  • Cogimyun
  • Taiko Master (drums from the rhythm game Taiko no Tatsujin)
  • Pac-Man
  • Hello Kitty
  • Pompompurin
  • Little Twin Stars

According to Google, Pac-Man is the most searched for character on the list. Previously, Google added a menagerie of animals to its AR search function, including cows, cats, and humongous dogs. Google’s been experimenting with AR in other places too, such as adding walking AR directions in Maps. It’s limited to specific malls and airports currently, but the idea is that digital directions are overlaid over the user’s real-word images in the Live View feature.

The latest Pac-Man game, Pac-Man 99, is a battle royale for Switch. Players will compete to be the last Pac-Man standing with a new twist on ghosts: Defeated ghosts will be sent to the other players’ games as a ghost than can slow them down. If you’re a Nintendo Switch Online subscriber, you can download Pac-Man 99 for free. Individual subscriptions cost $4 for one month, $8 for three months, and $20 for one year. An annual family plan costs $35 and covers up to eight different Nintendo Accounts.

MLB The Show 21 Review – Batter Up

MLB The Show 21 has made headlines this year for what it’s done off the field of play. In an unprecedented move, the Sony-developed title is now available on Microsoft consoles, signalling the end of 15 years of PlayStation exclusivity. It’s a monumental shift for a series that’s also making its debut on next-gen consoles, and MLB The Show 21 maintains the series’ high bar of excellence once the ball’s in play. Away from the diamond, however, there are a number of missing features and questionable decisions that take some of the shine off an otherwise fantastic game of baseball.

The card collecting mode, Diamond Dynasty, is the basis for most of these dubious decisions, particularly in regards to Road to the Show (RttS). MLB The Show 21’s career mode still revolves around the core idea of creating a player and taking them from the minor leagues through to the majors, but the structure of the mode has been significantly reworked. Your created Ballplayer is now a single unified entity that functions much like the NBA 2K series’ MyPlayer. This Ballplayer, with all the improvements you make to their attributes, also carries over into Diamond Dynasty, where they can be inserted into the starting lineup alongside current players and legends of the sport. It’s a solid idea on paper, but the execution severely hampers RttS in a few major areas.

For one, having a single Ballplayer limits your options since you’re unable to create more than one distinct character. You can still create multiple saves to make characters who play in different positions, but you’re stuck using the exact same player in each. On top of this, there’s also a new loadout system that allows you to create multiple custom loadouts. Each one features one main archetype and up to two perks that improve certain attributes while slightly decreasing others. This change appears to be geared towards another new addition, which gives you the option to play as a two-way player similar to Shohei Ohtani. For games when you’re hitting and playing the field, you might select a loadout with perks based around improving your contact, power, and arm accuracy; on days when you’re pitching, you might opt for another loadout with pitching-centric perks.

Again, this is a decent idea on paper, but the execution is once again lacking in a number of key areas. Attributes still improve during the process of playing games and completing training drills during your off-days, but natural progression like this is exceedingly slow to the point where it feels like it barely has an impact. By the end of your first season it’s very likely that your Ballplayer’s overall rating will have only risen by two or three points. Loadouts and equipment offset this meager progression by pumping up the numbers, but it’s difficult to feel any attachment to your created player when you have next to no palpable input on how they improve. Completing missions by achieving a specific number of hits, strikeouts, and so on, contributes to a linear upgrade tree for each archetype that gradually unlocks new perks and equipment. At the moment, however, this only adds to the grind, since a glitch is currently preventing the game from properly registering all of your actions.

Of course, you can purchase perks and equipment from the in-game marketplace, too, either by using Stubs earned by playing, or by using real money to bypass this entirely. The series has always been relatively generous when it comes to handing out rewards, and MLB The Show 21 is no different, but introducing microtransactions to a single-player mode is still a cynical maneuver that might also explain part of the reason why year-to-year saves are absent.

When it comes to Diamond Dynasty, there’s an “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” approach this year. The time-consuming mode is still bulging at the seams with various challenges and different ways to play, whether you’re recreating famous moments with legends of the past, stealing fans from other teams in Conquest, or simply competing against other players online. The same can also be said of Franchise mode–only the dearth of updates in this case is disappointing. Trade logic has been improved, and the addition of a yearly depth chart gives you a clear outline of how your team might develop and which areas will eventually need reinforcements. Budgets have also been streamlined so that they’re now readable, making it easier to plan ahead, but Franchise is still missing a number of key features that are mainstays in other sports games, such as online Franchise, expansion teams, and league re-alignments.

Like RttS, year-to-year saves are also absent in Franchise as well, so you won’t be able to carry over your 10-year Orioles rebuild from the previous games. Sounds of the Show is another feature that was lost in the move to newer consoles, meaning there’s no way to import custom music for batter walk-ups and so on. Commentary is also behind the times. There are a couple of new commentary lines in RttS relating to two-way players, but otherwise the three-man booth is overly familiar at this point. As a prime example, new Texas Rangers player David Dahl is still constantly referred to as “the speed outfielder,” despite the fact his speed stat has now regressed to 56. Sideline reporter Heidi Watney also regurgitates the same voice lines as last year.

MLB The Show has always been one of the better-looking sports games, so the increase in graphical fidelity on PlayStation 5 isn’t a significant leap. Lighting has been improved, and managers in particular look more lifelike than before. The addition of hundreds of new animations has a much more discernible impact on the visuals, though, adding to the game’s fluidity and sense of realism. The PS5 controller’s haptic feedback is also utilized to good effect, sending vibrations through your hands that mimic the ball careening off the end of the bat or nestling in a fielder’s glove. The oft-requested Stadium Creator also finally makes its series debut, letting you build ghastly monstrosities from the ground up, recreate famous ballparks, or add your own personal touch to a selection of pre-built stadiums. The only negative right now is you can’t play night games in created stadiums, but this is expected to be introduced in a later patch.

Pinpoint Pitching is the headline new feature once you step out onto the diamond. As the name implies, this is a new pitching interface with an emphasis on precision. Obviously, how precise you are depends on your ability to successfully execute on this new mechanic, and it’s the most challenging pitching interface in the game. Once you’ve picked the pitch type and its placement, you need to use the right analog stick to accurately trace a pattern that’s dictated by your pitch selection. Timing is crucial, as you’re either rewarded or penalized for being too fast or too slow. There’s definitely a steep learning curve to mastering Pinpoint Pitching, but it’s tactile and feels very natural to pull off as though you’re mirroring the player’s pitching motion. It won’t be for everyone, and the series has never forced players into using a particular system, so you can still stick to meter pitching or another interface if need be. It’s a solid new addition, though, and adds another wrinkle to The Show’s on-field quality.

Fielding has also been improved via more fluid animations and better indicators. Check swings are also entirely based on player skill now, removing the element of randomness that was present before, even if the player discipline attribute had an impact. Whether you hold up on a swing or not is predicated on your ability to quickly cancel out of it. This is bound to be a divisive change considering it results in more strikeouts, but favoring skill over an element of luck is a positive change.

Much like its predecessors, MLB The Show 21 is still one of the best sports games available once you step over the foul line. The gameplay has been tightened up and Pinpoint Pitching is a potential game-changer, and all of these elements go some way to dampening the disappointment of its missing features, stale commentary, and changes (or lack thereof) to Road to the Show and Franchise. It’s not the strongest debut the series could’ve had on new hardware, but if you’re in the mood for nine innings of America’s favorite pastime, MLB The Show is still the undisputed king.

World Of Warcraft Now Blocks Messages Containing Slurs From Being Sent Entirely

World Of Warcraft now automatically blocks messages containing “reserved words” such as slurs and other banned or derogatory language. WoW-focused outlet Wowhead discovered the change on live servers recently and published a news post outlining the change.

As with most online games, WoW has used a text filter to automatically censor and filter certain words for years now. However, this new system that Wowhead discovered–which only appears to apply to one particular racial slur at the moment–would appear to indicate that Blizzard is planning to punish derogatory language more harshly in the future. The new system blocks the message from being sent on live servers entirely, though you can still send the message via Battle.net chat.

Given the fact that it only applies to one word, it’s likely that this is just an experimental feature for now, but it could soon expand to include more “reserved words.” In other WoW news, the game’s Chains of Domination update has been out on the game’s Public Test Realm for a few days now. Blizzard also recently released a Lich King Arthas statue as part of its 30th anniversary celebration.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War/Warzone Adds Stoner’s Delight DLC To Celebrate 4/20

Activision’s longstanding tradition of celebrating weed culture’s big holiday–4/20–continues this year with the launch of a “Stoner’s Delight” DLC bundle for Black Ops Cold War and Warzone.

This bundle leaked weeks ago, but it’s now available to buy in both games. The DLC brings a variety of leafy content to the game, including the “Kushwacked” operator skin, as well as the “Homegrown” and “Big Smoke” weapon blueprints. There is also a “Rolling Leaf” charm, a “Kush Keeper” watch, and more. The bundle costs 2400 COD Points (about $20). You can see a preview of some of the content from the bundle in the image below.

Activision has released weed-themed DLC packs for Call of Duty games going back years, so it’s not a surprise to see Activision blaze that trail once again. Recreational marijuana is legal in California, which is where Activision’s main HQ and developer Treyarch are based, not that it necessarily factors into a release like this.

This pot-themed DLC is just the start of what’s new in Black Ops Cold War and Warzone this week. The much-anticipated Season 3 update will begin its rollout this evening, April 20, for Black Ops Cold War and then continue with an update for Warzone on April 21. Big things are planned, including the rumored nuke event that could see Verdansk blown to smithereens.

In other news, a recent leak revealed that 2021’s Call of Duty game is called Call of Duty: Vanguard, and it’s a World War II-set shooter from Sledgehammer Games. Activision has yet to formally announce the game, but that could happen soon if historical trends continue.

Disney Bundle Price 2021: Is The Disney Plus, Hulu, And ESPN Bundle Worth It?

Once upon a time, figuring out which streaming services you needed for certain movies or shows was a fairly simple thing, with only three or four major players out there. Unfortunately, the streaming world has only gotten more crowded and convoluted in recent years. It’s the Wild West, and every streaming service is trying to carve out its own space. But there’s one deal that really stands out among all the noise, and it comes from one of the newer entries into the streaming space: Disney Plus, which you can get packaged with Hulu and ESPN Plus in the Disney Bundle. If you’re on the fence about signing up for the Disney streaming bundle, we’ve rounded up all the info you need to know here, including how much bang you’ll be getting for your buck content-wise. Your wallet will thank you later.

What is the Disney Bundle?

The Disney Bundle includes Disney Plus, ESPN Plus, and Hulu. As the name implies, Disney Plus is the home of all things Disney–which, at this point, encompasses some of the most popular franchises ever made. It’s a powerhouse service where having the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Star Wars, The Muppets, and every Pixar movie in one place is just the tip of the iceberg.

ESPN Plus is the streaming home for sports, including not only live events but also an increasing number of well-crafted studio shows, documentaries, and vintage matches. The subscription also comes with a couple of other perks, like access to ESPN fantasy league tools and exclusive online articles by some of the leading authorities in sports.

And then there’s Hulu, which started as the place to see new episodes of TV as (or shortly after) they air live. That’s still the case, but in recent years, Hulu has expanded into its own little niche of original shows and exclusive films. The Disney Plus Bundle packages all three of these services together, with one login and one joint price for all three platforms.

How much does the Disney Bundle cost?

To give you a sense of what the Disney Bundle is worth, here’s a quick overview of what each service costs separately. The base monthly Disney Plus price is $7.99, while Hulu’s price starts at $5.99 per month. ESPN Plus costs the same as basic Hulu at $5.99 per month. If you do the math, that comes out to $19.97 a month for subscribing to each service separately. The Disney Plus Bundle, on the other hand, costs $13.99, which is an absolute steal for the wealth of content.

However, that’s not the only Disney Bundle plan, which is where things can get a little confusing. The distinction comes with which Hulu plan you want to include in your bundle. The base Disney Bundle plan comes with ad-supported Hulu, which just means you’ll still get some commercials as you watch shows and movies. To get Hulu without ads in the Disney Bundle, you’ll pay $19.99 per month–which is still a better deal than paying for each service separately, as Hulu without ads costs $11.99 per month on its own.

Those interested in Hulu + Live TV can still take advantage of the Disney Bundle as well, though you’ll pay a decent chunk more considering Hulu + Live TV is an alternative to traditional cable, letting you watch cable news, stream award shows, and watch other live TV as it airs. The Disney Bundle with Hulu (with ads) + Live TV costs $72.99 per month, and once you have that plan, you can select the no-ads Hulu add-on to get ad-free Hulu + Live TV with the Disney Bundle–this is the most expensive option at $78.99 per month.

For most, the basic plan will be enough, but having these other options lets you customize the plan a bit to your viewing preferences. For easy reference, you can check out the current Disney Bundle pricing below.

All Disney Bundle plans Price
Disney Bundle (Hulu with ads) $13.99 per month
Disney Bundle (Hulu, no ads) $19.99 per month
Disney Bundle (Hulu with ads + Live TV) $72.99 per month
Disney Bundle (Hulu, no ads + Live TV) $78.99 per month

Disney Plus, ESPN Plus, and Hulu add-ons

There are, of course, additions to consider. A Disney Plus subscription gets you access to everything with the exception of Premier Access titles–such as Raya and the Last Dragon and the upcoming Black Widow–that drop on Disney Plus the same day as they do in theaters. Premier Access titles are meant to give folks who’d rather stay home access to the biggest films Disney has to offer, and at $30 each, they’re priced as such.

ESPN has a similar option with its UFC partnership, which allows ESPN Plus to stream live fights. Those can be purchased like pay-per-view for $69.99 a pop. There are also add-on subscriptions for MLB.TV and NHL.TV, which can be thrown in for $24.99 per month each.

Finally, Hulu offers add-ons for other networks like HBO Max, Showtime, Cinemax, and Starz, which range from $8.99 a month to $14.99 a month each. You can also pay more for features like unlimited screens or expanded DVR recording space. You can see the full breakdown for Hulu add-ons in our Hulu pricing guide.

What to watch with the Disney Bundle

Of course, what you’re really here for is the content, and you’ll have no shortage of that with the Disney Bundle. Disney Plus is extremely strong on family-friendly and children’s programming, thanks to the Disney and Pixar libraries. You also get documentaries from Nat Geo, the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, and every Star Wars movie, plus original programming. That includes exclusive new spin-off TV shows like WandaVision, The Mandalorian, and Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

Just about every film or TV show Disney has made in the last 60 years is on Disney Plus, as is an unfathomably huge treasure trove of Disney animation–shorts and feature length–stretching back to the ’30s. There are also plenty of surprises to be found too, like nature documentaries, concerts, and non-Disney-produced cartoons ranging from the ’90s X-Men and Spider-Man to 30 seasons of The Simpsons.

With ESPN Plus, you get a wide range of live sports, which run the gamut from Major League Baseball and the NHL to rugby and lacrosse. The service even gives you access to out-of-market Major League Soccer games. That’s bolstered by a slew of excellent produced content like the lauded 30 for 30 series, E:60, and documentaries like the Oscar-winning OJ: Made In America.

And then there’s Hulu. For many shows, Hulu will drop brand-new episodes either right after they air or a day after. That’s on top of a huge library of TV from nearly every major broadcast network stretching back decades. Hulu has a nice library of original content such as The Handmaid’s Tale, Solar Opposites, Pen15, and Letterkenny. It’s also amassed a rather impressive collection of movies along the way, which also includes a few wonderful exclusives like The United States vs. Billie Holiday, Derek Delgaudio’s In and Of Itself, and Joe Carnahan’s bonkers Groundhog Day riff, Boss Level.

Those looking for a replacement for traditional cable can also watch live channels and shows as they air without having to wait. Hulu’s Live TV add-on gives you access to 65 basic cable and local channels, though, obviously, watching them live does mean you’re getting the commercials too.

Signing up for the Disney Plus Bundle is fairly straightforward. You can head directly to the Disney Plus website and sign up from any device with a browser. You could just watch directly from there if you’re using a computer, or you can download the individual Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus apps, which are available on a wide range of mobile devices, tablets, Smart TVs, streaming devices, and gaming consoles.

The one asterisk to all that, however, applies to those wanting to add Live TV to their Hulu subscription. In that case, you actually want to sign up at Hulu instead and add the add-on to your Hulu account from there. After that, it’s smooth sailing–you’ll simply download Disney Plus and ESPN to your other devices and log in with the same info, all while managing the subscription through Hulu.

Final thoughts on the Disney Bundle

During a time when just about every studio and channel on the planet has its own streaming service, figuring out which subscription gets you the biggest bang for your buck has become tedious. With the Disney Plus, ESPN Plus, and Hulu bundle, though, you’ve got access to such an enormous collection of content, it actively makes the search for more content easier. You won’t find many competing services offering that volume of content at such an appealing price. There are certainly those that try–HBO Max having HBO, Cartoon Network/Adult Swim, Looney Tunes, and Turner Classic Movies under one roof is undeniably impressive–but getting that kind of value is a rare thing nowadays and worth chasing. The Disney Bundle is also a particularly appealing option for families, not only for being budget-friendly but because its wide variety of content offers something for everyone, from kids to teens and adults.

New Adventure Time Special Promises Finn And Jake’s “Biggest Adventure Yet”

HBO Max has released a new teaser for Together Again, the third hour-long episode in a planned run of four revival specials titled Adventure Time: Distant Lands. The latest entry in the long-running fantasy series is due to hit the streaming service on May 20.

Together Again’s official logline says this adventure “brings Finn and Jake together again, to rediscover their brotherly bond and embark on the most important adventure of their lives.” The special will also reportedly answer the question: “Will Finn and Jake be best bros forever?” More specific plot details have not yet been announced. Check out the clip below.

Adventure Time was created by writer and animator Pendleton Ward (Bravest Warriors), and ran on Cartoon Network from 2010 to 2018. Despite ending only a few years ago, and having also spawned many comic book and video game spinoffs parallel to its original run, these revival specials carry on in the show’s other tradition of regularly having related miniseries. The first of Distant Lands’ specials aired back in June.

Also in 2020, Ward teamed with comedian Duncan Trussell for the Netflix series, The Midnight Gospel. The unusual show sets actual podcast interviews between Trussell and various guests into whimsical and weird animated adventures. Its guests/co-stars have included Stephen Root (Barry), Drew Pinsky (Loveline), author and mortician Caitlin Doughty, Maria Bamford (Arrested Development), comedian Joey Diaz, and songwriter David Nichtern.
