NEW YORK — A Brooklyn apartment was reportedly filled with a pitch-perfect recreation of tear gas yesterday after the highly sophisticated GameScent AI system had no choice but to emulate a world war one grenade thrown by a player.
“I was just trying to play the game and suddenly my eyes started burning and I couldn’t breathe,” said the victim, Mark Thompson, 25. “I stumbled out of my apartment, choking and coughing, only to find my neighbors in the same situation. It was one of the best gaming experiences of my life.”
Thompson’s roommate, Ethan Wilkins, who was also affected by the tear gas, expressed outrage.
“I woke up and thought I was dying. I thought I’d never see my family again,” he said. “I’m so pissed I haven’t been able to afford one yet.”
Local authorities are investigating the incident, and some lawmakers are calling for stricter regulations on gaming technology.
“Almost half of all fires are started by overheating PS4s,” said city councilman Don Barker. “The other half is improperly wired DIY PC gaming builds. RGB lighting takes so many lives every year and the media refuses to cover it.”
GameScent president Casey Bunce defended the company’s commitment to realism.
“Our AI is designed to provide the most immersive gaming experience possible,” he said. “We’ve perfectly recreated the scents of everything from mustard gas to napalm, and we’re just getting started. Imagine the thrill of winning a round and knowing your enemy’s apartment will never be inhabitable again.”
At press time, GameScent had announced plans to release a limited edition version of its device which would allow players to experience the thrill of being waterboarded.
This seemed like a nod to Punk’s past in All Elite Wrestling, where he had altercations backstage with The Elite, Tony Khan and Jack Perry, and it turns out it was just a joke from the 5-time WCW Champion Booker.
Booker T reveals the truth about CM Punk “run-in”
Speaking on the latest episode of his podcast, Booker revealed that he was just playing with his fans: “I’m trying to entertain my fans… Because that story, that 40-second story that people wrote, it was clickbait, guys” he noted (via SEScoops).”
“Did I put it out there? Did I say it? As far as I had a beef, I was gonna run up? Yeah, I said [it] But I’m entertaining you guys. Entertaining. Just playing around” he concluded.
CM Punk is currently out of action after sustaining an injury at the Royal Rumble event in January 2024, although there have been rumors that he could be making an appearance at WrestleMania XL in some capacity, potentially as the Special Guest Referee for the Seth Rollins vs Drew McIntyre match.

WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes went a little non-PG on this week’s episode of WWE RAW, but don’t expect other stars to go the same way.
Speaking on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer claimed that WWE wanted to allow Cody Rhodes to react to The Rock’s recent non-PG jabs on television on social media, otherwise, he would just look weak in comparison.
“I don’t think you’re a heel, I think you’re an a**h*le,” was the first line Cody dropped during his promo that had to get bleeped on the live feed, and he went on to say “b*tch” a few times as well.
Cody Rhodes WWE RAW Promo was non-PG
Stars backstage have reportedly been unhappy recently with The Rock and his use of vulgar language on social media and television to promote his upcoming WrestleMania match…especially as no one else in the company is seemingly allowed to do so.
According to a recent report from Aaron Varble of SEScoops: “I can exclusively report that a recent memo emphasized the need for talent to follow PG guidelines on TV and social media. Despite this, The Rock’s use of profanity, like in a recent promo, has raised questions among talent about double standards. They wonder why he’s allowed to curse while others aren’t.”
With that, Cody’s promo on this week’s episode of RAW is expected to be the exception, not the norm going forward.
However, we might get more of this back-and-forth between The Rock and Cody ahead of WrestleMania 40 in early April.

Warning: This article contains full spoilers for the ending of your parents’ marriage. And if you’re just here to see if they eventually get back together by the end, they don’t.
Whoa. Who could’ve seen your parents calling it quits after twenty years of marriage? Wait. No. Stop. I’m not doing this. I’m not spoon feeding you, you idiot. You would have noticed how unhappy your parents were if you had pulled your face out of your phone from time to time. Any fool with an attention span greater than a goldfish would know that they were just barely getting by and most of their marital woes could be traced back to you, Matthew.
Your dad didn’t even want you, but your mom persistently begged for a family until your dad caved. Out came little Matthew and all the trouble that would follow you. It was doomed from the start. You weren’t an easy baby. Restful nights together became restless and bitter between your parents. Mom went from wanting a big family to wanting to change her name and disappear.
I see you thinking about closing this tab, Matthew. Do not open Tiktok. None of those dancing teenage girls are going to tell you like it is.
Your parents learned to cope once you started sleeping through the night, but then you went and grew into a new type of monster. You shouted at them, threw crap, and broke everything you could get your hands on. Dad’s resentment toward mom grew with every Van Halen record you threw across the room. Mom began to question her decision making skills every time she heard your voice screeching her name.
Wake up and smell the coffee Matthew. This is important. That last paragraph was just 70 words. Can you seriously not focus enough to read 70 words?
Your parents once again persevered, this time thanks to ear-plugs and putting their things in high-places, but you again transformed into a being they were not prepared for. You became the self-centered twat that stands before us today. Take a look in the mirror, Matthew. You’re looking at a person who can’t be bothered to spend a few hours out of their comfort zone. Your mom tried to share her love for gardening with you. You couldn’t even pretend to care about her tomatoes. Dad rebuilt his Van Halen collection and tried to share his music with you. You turned right around and sold his albums for weed money. Your parents’ hate for each other grew. The only thing they could agree on is how much they each despise you.
I see that I’ve lost you again to X (you’re one of those cool people that’s still caught up on the name change, right?) Matthew, I just want you to know, your parents both hate you, your two new step-parents are also going to hate you, we all hate you, and you wouldn’t need me to explain all this if you weren’t a self centered leech on all your loved ones lives.
Also your dad doesn’t like that Van Halen record you bought him for Christmas, he can’t stand the Sammy Hagar era, you’d know that if you took the time to care.
AEW President Tony Khan is reportedly still “really angry” with an AEW star that may have caused CM Punk to be released from the company.
Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed the current status of Jack Perry, who is believed to still be under AEW contract but he is working with New Japan Pro Wrestling for the time being.
“Tony’s really mad at him because he cost him CM Punk. He’s getting the blame” Meltzer claimed on the show (via WrestlingNewsCo).
“He probably should have been suspended for a month or two. Where are we at, seven months now?….. Seven months. It’s ridiculous. The punishment doesn’t fit the crime at this point. I mean, it’s like it’s his fault because the other guy like lost just mind?” Meltzer added.
Is Tony Khan still angry at Jack Perry?
WOR co-host Bryan Alvarez would react to Meltzer’s claim that Perry ‘cost’ AEW CM Punk, saying “I was gonna say, I mean he didn’t cost Tony CM Punk. CM Punk cost Tony. CM Punk by getting into a fight over this. Punk could have just got to Tony and said, ‘Suspend this dude. That was unprofessional’ and that would’ve been it.”
The company has not given any sort of official response to the claim, although it is likely to be brought up at some point with Khan more willing to speak to wrestling media than those in other companies.

In a clip that recently went viral on social media, conservative political activist Charlie Kirk steered the conversation on his online radio show to a perceived lack of traditional values in post-modernist Hentai.
“When this country was great, hentai was between one awkward Japanese high schooler and a harem of 3-5 immortal space princesses,” said the founder of Turning Point USA to a packed auditorium. “Now, thanks to the woke left, we’re seeing orcs banging tentacle monsters, and she-elfs get freaky with cat demons. We are witnessing the fall of the West and it’s like no one cares!”
Kirk’s words were generally well received by the crowd of young conservatives, many of whom cheered in agreement in the chat. To Samuel Radke, a software engineer and life-long Hentai enthusiast, Kirk’s fiery speech echoed some of his own concerns about a genre of online porn that he believes is in danger of losing its deep-rooted connection to his faith.
“I thank Hentai for shaping a lot of my own worldview, and I think it’s disgusting to see what it’s become under Biden and the Democrats,” Radke said. “I’ve noticed a distinct decrease in the average breast size of a lot of the characters I’ve known for years, and I just know that isn’t what God intended. The Bible says, ‘What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder,’ and I genuinely believe that passage is about animated titties.”
Kirk went on to argue for a return to “traditional hentai” that centered on “God, country, and guys getting bloody noses when they see a bra.”
At press time, Turning Point USA announced the development of an overtly conservative Hentai series voiced by Roseanne Barr and contributors from the Daily Wire.
SAN FRANCISCO — Based on his near-nocturnal sleep schedule this week, sleep monitoring app SleepTight has reportedly diagnosed gamer Derek Vaughn with almost certainly owning an incredible new video game.
“Our cutting-edge technology detected an alarming shift in Derek’s sleep schedule,” explained SleepTight’s lead developer, Dr. Amanda Perkins. “Instead of his usual 7-8 hours of sleep per night, he was averaging 2-3 hours, mostly between 6 AM and noon. Plus we could see he was on Steam.”
Vaughn’s roommate, pre-med student Tyler Davis, concurred with the app’s diagnosis.
“Derek’s been holed up in his room since he bought that new game,” Davis said. “I hadn’t seen in a couple weeks so I thought he moved out, but then I heard him shouting at his computer in the middle of the night. I’m just glad he’s not dead. His room kinda smelled like he was.”
When reached for comment, Vaughn seemed confused by the app’s findings.
“A week? No way, I just started playing a couple hours ago,” he said before checking his phone. “Oh my god I missed finals.”
Dr. Perkins said that Vaughn is not the only user on the app struggling with these unhealthy sleeping patterns.
“We call it ‘Gamer Sleep Disorder,’ or GSD. Cases spike every time a big game drops,” she said. “Symptoms include marathon gaming sessions, a general disregard for normal sleep patterns, and becoming highly sensitive about gaming news online. It can be very dangerous.”
According to Perkins, SleepTight is currently developing a “gamer mode” to help users manage their sleep while owning an addicting new game. The mode will include alerts reminding users to take breaks, stretch, and for a small charge automatically shut down their gaming PCs around 2am each morning.
At press time, Vaughn had reportedly fallen asleep at his keyboard as his phone buzzed repeatedly with notifications from SleepTight checking if he was still alive.
Here’s a hefty hotfix for Total War: WARHAMMER III on March 19, 2024 for PC. There’s bug fixes, tweaks, and UI adjustments, as well as the removal of a bad name from the random name generator.
Total War: WARHAMMER III Update Mar 19 Hotfix 4.2.2
Greetings!Today we're bringing you Hotfix 4.2.2 for Total War: WARHAMMER III, which tackles a few bugs, crashes, glitches, and more.Here's what we've got:
We've made some visual adjustments to Saytang to ensure lore authenticity, aligning it with the concept art we previously shared within our blog "Patch 4.2 Shadows of Change Content Additions – Part 1: Cathay".
Fixed a crash that could occur during Sea Encounters.
Various Griffons have grabbed a slice of the Upelkuchen cake and are no longer shrunken on the Campaign map.
Replaced Assault Unit (Deal damage to one unit in the target army) with Assault Units (Deal damage spread across a random portion of units in the target army) for all characters. This affects the following heroes:
River Troll Hags
Skink Oracles
Empire Battle Wizards
Necromancers
Glade Captains
Vlad Von Carstein (As a Hero)
Frost Maidens
Iridescent Horrors
Fixed an issue where the Changeling's Trickster Cults would be revealed when any army (including enemy armies) retreats from a pre-battle involving the Changeling.
Melee units now have a bit of an easier time pinning down Katarin's sled.
Katarin's sled can now be more reliably targeted by missile weapons.
Fixed a specific issue where Legendary Heroes would not spawn if the army they intended to spawn at (usually the faction leader) was in a settlement that was under siege. We have noticed some additional edge cases of Legendary Heroes failing to spawn which we are currently investigating.
Fixed Vlad and Isabella von Carstein not being able to scout ruins when they are Heroes.
Fixed Vlad von Carstein not spreading growth as a Hero.
Celestial Lion is now a High Threat target. (All single entities are High Threat targets and take focused damage when caught in a splash attack.)
Saytang, The Watcher causes Terror, but hasn't been causing Fear as intended. We're not sure the dictionary supports our position on the difference, but Saytang is too scary for us to tell him no, so, he now causes both Fear and Terror.
Fixed the Cathay technology "Yin Hex" displaying melee units in its tooltip despite it only applying to ranged units.
Raknik Spiderclaw can now equip the Spider Banner magic standard, as the spider gods intended.
Beastmen advanced recruitment horde buildings now correctly appear in their own group.
Fixed an issue with Bretonnia Lords where their unit cards did not match their 3D model.
Druzhina now flips a coin during one of his idle animations instead of simply miming the act.
Fixed an issue in the Sisters of Twilight quest battle "Search for Ceithin-Har" where the herdstone buildings could be manually targeted and destroyed by ranged units.
Caravan Master skills that modify encounters (e.g. amount of Cargo paid as a toll or the chance of an Ambush Battle occurring) are now correctly calculated with each skill level.
Fixed Drycha not receiving the "Stolen Power" trait when unlocking Coeddil.
Fixed instances of Heinrich Kemmler's portrait being extremely wide.
Fixed Ulrika Magdova's porthole being too zoomed out.
The 3D porthole for the Chaos Lord of Tzeentch on a Disc of Tzeentch no longer focuses exclusively on his crotch.
Clan Skrat's faction leader Metastorm is now properly generated with both a face and a name.
The Kislev red line skill "Creatures of the Land" now correctly states that it applies to Frost Wyrm units.
The Bretonnian vow "Pledge to Campaign" (win a siege battle in a desert or jungle climate) can now be completed when reinforcing in battle.
Added the missing Chaos Warshrine mount to the Chaos Sorcerer Lord of Tzeentch (Metal).
Renamed the Grand Cathay technology "Nan-Gau Polearms" to "Nan-Gau Weaponry" to better reflect the effects it provides.
The Chaos Sorcerer and Chaos Sorcerer Lord of Tzeentch (Metal) now correctly have the "Prismatic Plurality" skill instead of "Evasion" on their magic line.
The Lizardmen Exotic Animals resource building now also affects Feral Troglodons.
The Lizardmen Exotic Animals resource building has a hidden effect reducing Recruitment costs - this effect is now visible.
The Hexoatl landmark building Blessed Incubator now also affects Feral Troglodon and Dread Saurian units.
When using the MS store version of DaVe, reprocessing the campaign no longer breaks frontend faction selection.
Fixed the camera clipping into the terrain in the intro cutscene to Grombrindal's quest battle "Rune Helm of Zhufbar".
Recently we learned that one of the random names generated from the High Elf pool had connotations that could be tied to an abominable character from 20th Century history. Upon learning this, our teams have taken immediate action to return to WARHAMMER II so that we can release an update removing the name.
As the name is also accessible within WARHAMMER III, we've similarly directed our team to make the very same update here as well.
We apologise that the name has been present in the game for this long, and are grateful to those who brought it to our attention so that we could take action.
Once again, thank you for your continued input and feedback on Patch 4.2.0, Hotfix 4.2.1, and the game as a whole. Please keep sharing your insights with us on our official forums, and we'll see you on the battlefield!
— The Total War Team
