Entire Digimon Universe Disappears After Lapsed Domain Payment

Posted on by Jacob Colliver

SILICON VALLEY, Cali. — The Digital World and its lovable, all-powerful inhabitants ceased to exist early this morning due to an ISP’s bounced automatic bank withdrawal, according to those familiar with the situation.

“I just wanted to get away for a weekend,” tamer Taichi Kamiya explained. “Go for a hike, swim at the beach… you wouldn’t believe the screen time a DigiDestined teenager racks up. Coming back to that blank-white 404 page, though… Jesus. I’m freaking out. My friend Agumon literally evaporated from existence. We met entire nations of creatures, with personalities, and hopes, and dreams. We fought wars together. Wars. Plural. The fate of the universe hung in the balance. Oh god, I’ve let so many creatures die!”

The horror is attributed to the draconian business model of BargainIP.biz, a cheap provider all Digimon have lived on since 1999. BargainIP’s complaints hotline initially offered DigiDestined an automatic amends of two free months hosting and maintenance before quickly realizing that their accounting practices were “technically responsible” for genocide.

“Many are understandably upset,” a customer service representative admitted. “We appreciate your patience while we attempt to reverse the erasure of an entire civilization. It’s an inexact science. Trees currently load upside-down, water catches fire and several testers have spontaneously glitched into the ground in a never-ending plummet. The sky bleeds oil and there’s one T-posing Angemon that slowly glides towards us, screaming. Regardless, we’ve been working around the clock to resolve the issue. Hopefully, we can restore everyone’s digital friends with the same personalities and memories as before. Otherwise, they are all dead for nothing.”

Repairing the damage has been slow. While some Digimon have been restored by backup zip-disks found in programmers’ garages, others may be lost forever.

Don’t look at me,” human protector Gennai exclaimed. “I helped build the Digital World, for God’s sake! Everything ran perfectly pre-Y2K — that’s solid, incorruptible HTML 2 for you. Still, I’ll get blamed. The internet’s too complex these days. You don’t need fancy ‘cloud-based’ crap to fix backup issues — just a solid dial-up connection and 15 minutes on the right IRC server. Digivolve into someone who takes initiative. Ask Jeeves and sort it out!”

At press time, officials reminded users of the importance of occasionally printing out a photo of your Digimon so that you can appreciate it in the physical world.

CoD MW2 & Warzone 2 Season 2: Release Date & Leaks

Posted on by Rabia Sayal

After an exciting Season 1 update, players are eagerly waiting for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 & Warzone 2 Season 2 to drop. It will be the first patch of 2023 and is expected to bring back a popular CoD map along with new weapons, operators, and more. In addition to this, we can also get an announcement regarding the Ranked mode in the game, which was confirmed earlier by Activision. 

Apart from this, a brand new battle pass will also be available that will let you earn a variety of rewards, including weapon blueprints, perks, and more. CoD: Modern Warfare 2 Season 2 will be a significant update, and here is everything you need to know about it, including its release date and time, along with the details of what content it will bring.

CoD MW2 & Warzone 2 Season 2 Release Date and Time

While Activision is yet to reveal the launch date of CoD Modern Warfare 2 Season 2, it is expected to release on February 1 at 10 AM PT. This date comes from the countdown mentioned in the battle pass section of the game, and the update will be available to download soon after the Season 1 battle pass ends.

Just like the past updates, there will be no server maintenance, so you will not have to stop grinding. While there is no information about the Season 2 download size, it is expected to range from 10 to 15 GB for all platforms.

Modern Warfare 2 Season 2 Roadmap and Leaks

While the Season 2 update is still a few weeks away, we have already started getting leaks of the content coming to the game. 

Castle Map and Ronin Operator

A few days ago, the key art for Modern Warfare 2 Season 2 was leaked, and it featured the Ronin operator and, in the background, a Japanese-themed map which apparently is the multiplayer map, Castle. 

 

Castle was first released in Call of Duty: World at War, and its revamped version was later available in Call of Duty: Vanguard. On the other hand, Ronin, aka Daniel Shinoda, was available in Modern Warfare and is a part of the Coalition faction. 

CoD MW2 Season 2 New Weapons: Crossbow and Vepr-12

Every new season brings new weapons in Modern Warfare 2, and Season 2 is no different. Two new weapons, Crossbow and Vepr-12, have been leaked by the dataminer, CODSploitz, that will be making their way into the game. The crossbow’s leaked image was, however, taken down by Activision later on.

 

As we move closer to the release date of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, we will receive more leaks and announcements regarding the Season 2 update, and we will update this page as we get our hands on them.

A Harrowing Day in History: Looking Back at Mario & Sonic at the Munich 1972 Olympic Games

Posted on by Hard Drive Staff

Originally known as the “Games of Peace and Joy,” the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany, tragically turned into a high-stakes game of terror when 11 Mushroom Kingdom athletes were taken hostage by terrorists from Planet Mobius. 50 years later, we look back at how the most shocking two-day event in international sports competition history transpired. 

Mushroom Broadcasting Company provided the coverage for 1972 Games. Lakitu of MBC Sports interrupted the Dream Racing broadcast to report that terrorists had climbed the 6-foot wire fence protecting the Olympic Village and entered the headquarters of Team Sonic.

“One athlete was shot immediately, Silver the Hedgehog,” Lakitu announced on air. “They’re holding 14 other hostages. The latest word is that another man has been killed.”

Two more members of Team Sonic were executed by members of the Black September Toad Liberation Organization, a militant group that claimed responsibility for previously assassinating Jordanian Prime Minister Wasfi Tal. The assailants then announced their demands.

“We demand the swift and immediate release of 200 Toads held hostage in various Mushroom Kingdom prisons. We also demand the removal of Princess Peach as the Head of State before she participates in 100m Hurdles later this afternoon.”

The failure of a rescue attempt by West German officials resulted in the death of all hostages, although 5 of the 8 terrorists were also killed. The incident stained the legacy of the Olympic Games for decades to come, with many officials and athletes lamenting the impact of the harrowing events to this day.

“Mama Mia,” said an anonymous member of the International Olympic Committee and former athlete who participated in the Games that year. “This is-a not what the Games are about. I a-understand the historical relations between-a the Mushroom Kingdom and Planet Mobius are-a complex and difficult, but there has-a never been a need for such bloodshed. Wahoo! At the end of the day, The International Olympic Committee just-a wants to celebrate the world’s greatest runners, swimmers, and Dream Table Tennis players. Let’s-a-go!”

The sporting world will never forget the summer events of 1972, hoping to minimize political injustice on the global sporting stage for years to come. At the time of writing, we conclude our coverage of the 2022 Mario Strikers World Cup in Qatar.

New Gritty Action Movie Reimagines Genre by Not Casting Michelle Rodriguez

Posted on by Jeremy Kaplowitz

LOS ANGELES — A new movie about a group of marines in space battling aliens has reinvented the genre by not casting actress Michelle Rodriguez.

“We really wanted to do something different with Aperture Rising, and the way we came up with was to remove the key feature that all movies in this genre are centered around: casting Michelle Rodriguez as a gruff space marine who dies 50 minutes into the movie,” said director Jimmy Conner. “It was scary even trying to write the script with that in mind — what does that kind of movie even look like? Would it be too avant-garde for audiences? What would Michelle Rodriguez do with the free time? These are questions we’ve hopefully answered with our film, but even now, I can’t say for sure.”

“And don’t get me wrong,” he added. “We’re still gonna have a tough, white-tanktop-wearing woman space marine in the movie. She’s just played by someone other than Michelle Rodriguez. Let’s not get crazy here! Viewers still need to have a somewhat more masculine woman character who is less important than a somewhat more feminine woman character, so they know who the love interest is. Or else, what are we even doing?”

Despite the exciting new venture, viewers at early test screenings of the film reportedly found it confusing.

“I don’t understand,” said one viewer. “Where was Michelle Rodriguez?”

I found it difficult to follow the plot. There were a lot of aliens and shooting and stuff like that,” said another viewer. “Maybe if there was a cool, tough character in the film — a woman, maybe — who kind of talked in a New York accent, and said not really jokes, but like, funny little complaints about what was going on, I’d have something to latch onto.”

“I thought Michelle Rodriguez was good in the film. I like her,” said a third viewer. “She wasn’t in it? Oh. Well I fell asleep for a little bit, so maybe that was part of my dream.”

At press time, panicked producers who financed Aperture Rising had hired a VFX team to hastily CGI Michelle Rodriguez into the film before its release date in three weeks.

NBA 2K23 MyTeam Guide: How to Get Moments Donovan Mitchell

Posted on by Michael Czar

After one of the highest-scoring games in recent NBA history, the 2K team has released a Moments Galaxy Opal 97-rated Donovan Mitchell card for free in MyTeam. He does require some work to get, so here are the requirements to get a free Galaxy Opal Donovan Mitchell and some tips to get him quickly. The quick rundown is that players need to recreate the stats he put up in that overtime win over the Chicago Bulls on January 2nd, 2023 with an NBA 2K23 Donovan Mitchell card of their own.

NBA 2K23: How to get a free 97 Overall Donovan Mitchell

To start, like any Moments card in MyTeam, there are some accomplishments you need to do in-game to get this special card. Like other Moments cards in the game, not only do you need to hit all accomplishments but with a version of the star. For example, with the Moments 96-rated Pink Diamond Joel Embiid card, you needed to hit all his accomplishments with a version of Embiid to complete them.

Here are the challenges you need to complete to earn a 97-rated Donovan Mitchell card in MyTeam.

  • Score 71 points in a single game with Donovan Mitchell
  • Get 11 assists in a single game with Donovan Mitchell
  • Get 8 rebounds in a single game with Donovan Mitchell
  • Score 24 points in the paint in a single game with Donovan Mitchell
  • Score 7 three-pointers and shoot 46% or better with three-pointers in a single game with Donovan Mitchell
  • Score 6 free throws and shoot 80% or better for free throw percentage in a single game with Donovan Mitchell
  • Play 49 minutes with any Donovan Mitchell over multiple games
The MyTeam agenda for Moments Galaxy Opal Donovan Mitchell.

Each one of these challenges has a small reward, from trophies for the Trophy Case reward collection to in-game badges. But, after completing them all, you will have your free Galaxy Opal card.

How to Get Moments Donovan Mitchell Fast

Out of all the possible ways to complete these requirements for Donovan Mitchell, there is a specific group of challenges in-game to help complete this (as well as any other) set of requirements for cards or other unlockables in MyTeam.

The Basketball Fundamentals section in Challenges for MyTeam.

The ‘Basketball Fundamentals’ section has its challenges on Semi-Pro difficulty, the second-lowest difficulty for offline gameplay. Each subsection has specific requirements to complete the game, from five dunks to five three-pointers as a team. Plus, the opposition consists of the base cards of teams from across the league. So, it isn’t hard to fit Mitchell in your team and just rain fire on your opponents to hit and soar past the stats he hit in real life.

Now, there are two available Donovan Mitchell cards outside of this 97-rated one to use. The first is a Takeover Reward card from Season 1, a limited-time 93-rated Diamond card. For fans who don’t have that card, the easiest way is to get the base 83-rated version of Mitchell from the Token Rewards section. Simply collect tokens from MyTeam gameplay and redeem 15 of them for a Cavaliers starter card and choose Mitchell.

The Token Market in NBA 2K23 MyTeam.

Then, simply try and get all the requirements completed with Mitchell over multiple games. Once that is done, you have a free Galaxy Opal shooting guard for your roster on 2K23 MyTeam. However, keep in mind, as all Moments cards are, this is a limited-time card. Players only have until January 6th, 2023 at approximately 11 A.M. EST to unlock this free 97-rated card, so start the grind soon!

GTA Online Snow Guide: When Will The Snow End in GTA Online?

Posted on by Tarun Sayal

The addition of Snow was one of the most significant changes in the GTA Online Winter update. Snow appears in the game during winter, typically lasting from December to February. However, it seems that snow may melt a bit early this year. As the winter season comes to an end and the spring season approaches, the snow will begin to melt and eventually disappear from the game world. With that said, here’s everything you need to know about when snow will end in GTA Online.

When Will Snow Stop in GTA Online?

According to the Rockstar Newswire, Snow will leave GTA Online’s world on January 12, 2023. As a result, all the activities, quests, and challenges related to the winter event will conclude once the snow sheet melts.

In an official announcement, Rockstar stated the following:

“The eggnog may have soured, but the rare Los Santos snowfall and holiday-themed festivities are still going strong in Southern San Andreas. Through January 11: take out The Gooch stalking the streets and receive The Gooch Mask; Hear those sleigh bells ring and destroy all 25 Snowmen collectibles to earn an extra GTA$125K and The Snowman outfit; Get in the middle of the action atop Weazel Plaza and neutralize your targets to get your hands on the new WM 29 Pistol; Establishing peace on the rooftop will also earn you the Season’s Greetings skin for the Pistol Mk II.”

So if you haven’t completed winter challenges and activities like Weazel Plaza Shootout, and destroy 25 snowmen, then it’s your last chance to snag plenty of cash and a pretty goofy-looking snowman costume until January 11, when the snow will end in GTA Online.

After that, Rockstar will drop another weekly update, which is definitely going to be a massive one for the GTA Online community. Until then, though, enjoy the snow while it lasts!

Guy With Anime Profile Picture Actually Looks Like That

Posted on by Matt Bieker

WILMINGTON, Del. — A local Twitter user with the username “RyukyuBlade” has received continuous ridicule for the anime character featured in his profile picture, even though the character looks exactly like him in real life.

 “Every time I post, all I get are responses like ‘anime PFP detected’ or people calling me ‘weeaboo trash.’ These people don’t understand,” said RyukyuBlade, after getting roasted in the comments of a post about the best Netflix movies of 2022. “This character was the first time I saw myself represented in pop culture. He has my same spiky, neon-orange hair, the same steel eye patch in the shape of an upside-down cross, and he even carries around an 8-foot-long sword like I do. I mean, sure, his floor-length cloak is black, and mine’s more of like a dark green. But still, it’s pretty close!”

 Another poster under the username “Ultimate_Rizzz69” seemed to take a special interest in ridiculing the young man’s seeming obsession with the Japanese media form.

 “I’ve seen him commenting on shit before and it’s like, grow the fuck up bro. No one cares about your favorite anime,” said Ultimate_Rizzz69. “We all know you want to have, like, magical powers or whatever and you probably run around calling people ‘senpai’ and unleashing your ‘special move.’ It’s just so lame. That’s why having an anime PFP is the fastest way to get your opinion ignored by normal people.”

 RykyuBlade, however, insisted that his appreciation of the anime character wasn’t indicative of his media tastes as a whole.

“Honestly, I’m kind of just a casual anime fan. Some of them are a little too ‘out-there’ for me, you know?” said RyukyuBlade from the mountaintop where he lives and trains. “But when I watched this show in high school and they revealed he also has a pet dragon that houses the soul of his dead girlfriend, I teared up a little. It’s just nice to see characters you can relate to.”

At press time, RyukyuBlade had grown so frustrated with the attacks he was receiving online that he accidentally incinerated his phone with an energy blast from the snake tattoo on the palm of his hand.

Destiny 2 Season of the Seraph Europa Resonance Amp Locations

Posted on by Richard Tammaro

Destiny 2’s Season of the Seraph features plenty of activities for players to grind and collectibles to find. One of those collectible types are Resonance Amps. These collectibles require some extra steps to be completed before players can even interact with them. So, here is how to collect Resonance Amps and the Europa Resonance Amp locations in Destiny 2’s Season of the Seraph.

How to Unlock and Use Resonate Stems

Resonate Stems are a type of currency that are used to access Warmind Nodes. During the Season of the Seraph, Resonate Stems are earned from every activity a player completes. These items will be added into your inventory under a consumable named Resonance Amp. Once a player has collected 4 Resonance Stems they can interact with the Resonance Amp in their inventory to create an Override Code, consuming the Resonate Stems. Each Override Code corresponds to a specific Warmind Node location and is generated randomly. Players can not interact with Warmind Nodes they find unless they have generated the Override Code specific to that node.
