Nintendo Wants Discord To Reveal Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Art Book Leaker

  Nintendo of America has filed an application for a DMCA subpoena at a district court in California which, if granted, would order Discord to reveal the identity of the person who leaked The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's art book back in February. TorrentFreak reported earlier today that the company's attorneys applied for the DMCA subpoena on 7th April 2023, and it specifically mentions the name of the user who Nintendo believes is responsible for the leak, along with the name of the Discord server where the images reportedly leaked first. As laid out under US copyright law in Section 512(h), a DMCA subpoena requires that a provider — for example, a sales website or a social media platform — must disclose the details of the infringer. Nintendo has been aware of the leak for a while, it seems, as the company initially sent a DMCA notice on 21st February. Discord responded to the request, which contained multiple links, confirming that it would be removing ...

Overwatch 2’s next balance patch will make some supports scarier

  Overwatch 2  season 4   kicks off April 11, bringing a   new support hero to Blizzard’s free-to-play hero shooter . The existing roster is getting a fresh set of balance changes as well, with some of the bigger ones affecting tanks and support heroes. Blizzard previously covered a rework to Brigitte that will update her ultimate ability, Rally, that gives her shield some upgrades: Her ult will make the shield stronger and wider, and will give her the ability to (once again) stun enemies with her Shield Bash. Offsetting that buff are changes to her movement speed during Rally, and a reduced range for her Repair Pack healing ability. According to Blizzard’s season 4 patch notes for  Overwatch 2 , Moira is also getting a big upgrade. Not only will her Biotic Grasp offer better healing, she will now have the option to use her Fade ability while she’s firing her ultimate, Coalescence. That will be a huge boon for Moira players who are able to predict an ult-di...

CoD: Warzone 2 Season 3 Roadmap Details New Features, DMZ Overhaul, And More

  A new season of Call of Duty arrives on April 12, and Activision has revealed the roadmap for Season 3. Warzone 2's new content will include a brand-new battle pass, more operators, Ranked mode, and more. Here we highlight all the major announcements for Season 3 of Warzone 2. New weapons and operator Season 3 of Modern Warfare 2 will add four weapons to the game.

Overwatch 2 Trolls Are Using Lifeweaver To Pull Teammates To Their Death

  Overwatch 2 ’s new support hero   Lifeweaver   isn’t even in the game for most people yet, and he’s already causing a stir within the community for his potential to be a troll character. One of Lifeweaver’s abilities is called Life Grip. It allows the user to shield and pull a teammate to their position. Blizzard frames this as a heroic ability that can let you pull a friend out of danger when they’re surrounded or save them from being booped off the map. However, as early players using him on the game’s test server have realized, Life Grip can be used for evil, and Lifeweaver players are using it to pull their teammates into precarious situations, as seen in the TikTok embedded below.

One off-meta LoL champ pick is dominating Bronze in Patch 13.6

  Lower ranks in  League of Legends  are known for sometimes having unusual champions dominate certain roles. And in Patch 13.6, mid lane has been dominated by an uncommon champ for the role. As of now, Mordekaiser has the highest win rate in the mid lane in Bronze ranks with 54.20 percent, according to a  League  stat site U.GG. The Iron Revenant outpaces three powerful mages in Patch 13.6—Aurelion Sol, Malzahar, and Veigar—who have all found themselves in the top five in terms of win rate. Still, seeing Mordekaiser dominating the scoreboard is quite surprising, to say the least. The champion is traditionally a top laner, with his kit allowing for a tanky yet resourceful build. Mordekaiser’s main strength lies in his ultimate, with which he can single out a certain enemy and eliminate them in a solo duel in the Death Realm. Mid laners are usually required to bring more to the table besides single-elimination damage. But, on the other hand, it’s the Bronze ...

Apple’s VR Headset Is Likely Delayed

Apple Play Later First, Apple has announced that its next WWDC event is set for June 5. The annual developer conference is a place for nerdy tech types to mingle, but also the setting for some of Apple's biggest announcements of the year. While it's never a guarantee exactly what Apple will announce, there's a healthy rumor mill that gives a pretty good idea of what's to come. If this WWDC is anything like the last dozen or so, expect to hear primarily about new software updates to Apple’s mobile and desktop devices. Apple sometimes announces a hardware device or two at WWDC. The big rumor that's been blowing around for years now concerns Apple's upcoming mixed-reality headset. A steady trickle of leaks have suggested that Apple may announce the augmented reality device at WWDC, but that timetable seems to be getting pushed back. According to technology analyst and Apple soothsayer Ming-Chi Kuo, the company is likely to push back its reveal of the headset until ...

Don’t skip Resident Evil 4 remake’s shooting range

  Capcom’s   Resident Evil 4  remake   brings back an entertaining diversion from the original game: the shooting range. It’s here where Leon can practice firing the   hefty arsenal of guns   in   Resident Evil  4   (without worrying about ammo, which is infinite here), and also where players can earn charms for their   attaché case . Charms in  Resident Evil 4  confer special perks, like health boosts when consuming items and ammo-crafting bonuses that grant extra bullets or use less gunpowder. For that reason alone, you shouldn’t miss the remake’s new and improved shooting ranges, which are scattered throughout the game. Resident Evil 4 ’s shooting range tasks Leon with accurately targeting a series of pirate-themed targets. Players are scored for their performance, and are rewarded with silver and gold tokens, which they can trade in a token machine to earn random charms. In short, the better your score, the more tokens you ...
