Overwatch Shop Adds a Fifth New Virtual Currency in Form of Faustian Bargain

Posted on by Trevor Hazell

IRVINE, Calif. — Following controversy surrounding Overwatch 2’s expensive and exclusive coin-only cosmetic bundles, Activision Blizzard sought to revamp the in-game economy by adding a fifth new virtual currency in the form of a Faustian Bargain.

“We’ve heard the fans, and the Overwatch Team are working hard to bring positive changes to the Battle Pass going forward,” said Overwatch 2 Game Director Aaron Keller during a Developer Update video. “The most common request we heard from the fanbase was for more ways to unlock certain cosmetics outside of the shop. That’s why this season we’re bringing the Overwatch community new ways to play and unlock all the wonderful content we’ve been cooking up. And that starts with our brand new currency option, the Faustian Bargain.”

Along with Overwatch 2’s Legacy Credits, Competitive Points, League Tokens, and Overwatch Coins, this marks the game’s fifth virtual currency, which gives players the option of obtaining whatever their heart desires, though such a diabolical pact comes with a cost.

“We aim to provide the Overwatch player base with a greater multitude of methods for unlocking any cosmetics, heroes, gamemodes or devilish favors they see fit,” continued Keller, nervously glancing away to someone off-camera. “More currency options mean more opportunities to suit a greater variety of play styles. We’re not replacing anything, and players will still be able to grind matches for golden weapons if they like. But if for whatever reason you’re unable to invest the money or time for that new Reinhardt skin, you now have the option to sign away your immortal soul to Mephistopheles in exchange for whatever glorious prizes you seek.”

Activision Blizzard revealed more details on the infernal deal in an online ARG experience that saw players working together to decode old Latin invocations and carve abyssal runes into their flesh. While a handful of religious institutions denounced the addition, the ability to sell one’s soul to both demonic and corporate masters proved a natural fit for most Overwatch players. 

“Finally! I’ve been asking for some sort of option like this for a while,” wrote one Battle.net user. “I’ve been playing Overwatch since release so I’ve got just about every cosmetic, but naturally you miss a few things. But now, I was able to trade away my divine autonomy to the great Father of Lies down below to retroactively unlock the Pink Mercy skin. I’ve only got like 6 hours on Mercy, but maybe I’ll actually start playing her more now.”

Another Overwatch player chimed in to share their experience with the new feature.

“Oh, this new ‘deal with the devil’ thing is great. I’m newer to the game, but everyone else is so experienced I was constantly getting outplayed,” wrote user iMerc20. “But with just the click of a button, an unholy succubus appeared. I signed her little ancient scroll and boom, I instantly made it to Top 500! Granted the players are VERY good, so I haven’t been able to rank up past 493, but the dark forces that be take over so I never drop down to Grandmaster. The best part is that it only cost me my firstborn child.” 

In tandem with Blizzard’s announcement, the Minions of Hell’s Domain released a joint statement on the shared venture.

“We are absolutely thrilled to be joining forces once again with our friends at Activision,” wrote Mephistopheles, messenger of Satan. “We’ve had a long, rich history working together, sharing ideas and crafting incredible additions to the gaming industry. From adding microtransactions to Crash Team Racing, to just totally fucking up Bungie for a couple years there, we’ve been proud to have a hand in all your favorite experiences. And now we are thrilled to be able to continue providing our services to Blizzard and the Overwatch Team. You may have previously seen our work in the form of Hanzo’s scatter arrow or Mercy’s five-man rez. While we were sad to see those features removed from the game — and trust us, Jeff Kaplan paid the ultimate price for not fulfilling his end of the bargain — we are positive that Aaron Keller will be instrumental in helping usher in a new era for Overwatch. Assuming he should succeed where his predecessor failed, that is. He knows all that we’ve done for him, and he’s seen the consequences of failure, firsthand.”

Activision Blizzard has announced further exciting updates in the following week, including a faster way to rank up in Heroes of the Storm by sacrificing livestock to Baphomet.

7 Video Game Collector’s Editions That Could Be Used as Weapons in Event of a Home Invasion

Posted on by Traye Holland

Whether it’s statues, stickers, or trading cards, video game collector’s editions are often loaded with useless junk in order to squeeze gamers for every last bit cash.

If you’ve ever fallen victim to spending way too much on a collector’s edition, you may feel regret, shame, or remorse. However, don’t beat yourself up! Your impulse buy could one day save your life.

Imagine being woken up from sleep by the sound of your front door crashing open. You hear the sounds of several footsteps moving into your home. They are moving closer. You need to find something to protect yourself, and fast. But what will be your weapon? How about an item from one of your collector’s editions? Read on to learn some ways you can utilize the items from various collector’s editions to turn your certain demise into your John Wick moment.

Fallout 76 Power Armor Edition

Sure, you could probably use the items in the Fallout 76 Power Armor Edition in combat. The cheap-ass bag, if you ever actually got it, can be placed over an assailant’s head to blind them or suffocate them. The helmet can be worn for mild protection. The steelbook can be used as a solid projectile. However, the primary way to use this edition is as motivation.

Before running out to confront your foes, take a moment and look at this edition. Look at it, and tell yourself that you will never allow yourself to be such an easy victim again. Then go out and fight like you have nothing to lose. Because if you’ve sunk $200 into this scam edition, you just might.

Borderlands Handsome Collection Claptrap-In-A-Box Edition

As Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, you must know your enemy better than you know yourself, or something. I’ve never read the Art of War, but neither have you. Anyways, it may be useful to have a scout to assess the situation before you charge into the room guns blazing.

Borderlands Handsome Collection comes with a remote control Claptrap, with a camera you can see through using your phone. Send the little guy out to determine how many intruders there are, weapons they may be holding, etc. Also, if any of your intruders are gamers, they will be flooded with rage upon seeing Claptrap — one of the most annoyingly unfunny video game characters of all time — enter their line of sight. They will tucker themselves out beating your Claptrap to pieces, giving you the perfect opportunity to strike.

Doom Eternal Collector’s Edition

Doom Eternal Collector’s Edition comes with a wearable Doomguy helmet. As you may have heard from your mother or from OSHA: safety first. The helmet will protect your noggin from hits, and may help you emulate that Doom Slayer aggression you need to go kick some ass. Tell Alexa to blast that iconic Mick Gordon metal soundtrack and go rip and tear your enemies like they killed your pet rabbit. Pairs handily with a chainsaw, if you happen to have one of those sitting around.

Dead Island: Riptide Zombie Bait Edition

Infamously, the collector’s edition of Dead Island: Riptide came with a bloody statue of a woman’s bikini-clad torso. Fortunately for you in this particular situation, the statue is heavy enough to be an effective bludgeon. The invaders will be disturbed at the sight of the grotesque statue, stunning them for enough precious moments for you to land a solid strike or two. Hopefully the statue will be destroyed in the process, because come on. You really don’t want that ugly thing sitting in your house, do you?

Dying Light My Apocalypse Edition

If you had $386,000 to spare, you could have spent it on the Dying Light My Apocalypse Edition, which included an actual custom built “zombie-proof” shelter and real life parkour lessons. Nothing would be a greater deterrent for would-be burglars than living in a cabin that makes you look like a crazy doomsday prepper who would kill and cannibalize anyone who wanders on their property. The parkour lessons would give you a significant mobility advantage over your assailants, so long as you don’t pull a hamstring attempting a basic vault. Just be sure to stretch every day.

Krater Victor Edition

If you are outnumbered by multiple intruders, it may help to call in backup. If you spent $10,000 on the Krater Victor Edition, Game Designer Victor Magnusson promised to hand deliver the game to your home, cook a meal with you, and play the game together. Simply purchase this edition, and Victor Magnusson will show up, presumably armed with chef’s knives, to even the odds. Afterwards, the two of you can enjoy his homemade meal and play some Krater together. Would you like a Viking burger or Swedish meatballs?

Grid 2: Mono Edition

As my grandma used to say: when someone tries to steal from you, hit them with a car. Her mind started to go towards the end. Anyways, it’s not necessarily bad advice. If your living room is flooded with too many foes for your out of shape self to handle, maybe sneaking off to your garage and crashing a literal car through your wall is a better option. Sure, you’d then have to pay to fix your home and replace everything in your living room, but if you had $190,000 to burn on this edition, which comes with an actual street legal car, I’m sure you can afford it.

So there you have it, 7 different collector’s editions and the ways you can use them to defend yourself in the event of a home invasion. Hopefully, the advice written in this article will never have to be used. But if you do use it and it works, I will gladly accept full credit.

Oh Thank God: Your Teammate Was Just Born in 1988

Posted on by R. Anthony Mahan

PORTLAND, Ore. — Following examination of his birth certificate, sources confirmed that KillEmAll_88, a teammate you were matched with while playing Dota 2, only has that number in his username because he was born in the year 1988. Thank god.

“It’s like me saying that about the other team,” explained the gamer, who had recently turned 36 years old, in defense of his username. “You know, ‘Ooh, we’re gonna win! Kill ‘em all!’ You won’t believe how many times I’ve had to explain this.”

KillEmAll_88 has used some variant of this username in online gaming since playing Quake III Arena when he was eleven years old, and has consistently had to explain his name for almost every day of the past 25 years. “I won’t say what my name was before,” explained the player, whose birthday is January 4. “But I stopped doing that for obvious reasons. You know, you shouldn’t give your full date of birth to strangers online. Might as well put my phone number in the username too.”

Over the years, close friends of KillEmAll_88 have suggested simply removing the number from his username. “I won’t lie, I’ve thought about it,” he admitted. “But in a way, wouldn’t that be letting them win? If us ‘88 babies gave up our more innocent use of the number, then it really would become a symbol of hate.”

“It actually got me into quite a bind back in my Warcraft days. I got a random invite to this guild called ‘HordePatrol’ right when I started playing,” he recalled. “I thought they were just big Alliance fans and being nice to newbies, but when I started reading their rules – oh boy.”

At press time, KillEmAll_88 was explaining that his alternate account, named ‘CaptainTripleK,’ was only named that because ‘CaptainTripleKill’ was already taken.

Palworld Modder Receives Cease and Desist From Guy Who Looks Exactly Like Nintendo Attorney

Posted on by Kyle Duggan

MODESTO, Calif. — A modder who replaced the native creatures of breakout hit Palworld with Pokémon was instructed not to continue his work by a man who bore a suspicious resemblance to one of Nintendo’s lawyers, sources confirm.

“This guy’s knocking at my door yelling about a cease and desist letter, and I’m thinking he looks a little familiar,” said Mike Barton, who goes by the handle CrispySocks online. “Suddenly it hits me: this dude is just a palette-swapped Joe Levine. Joe’s an attorney at Nintendo who’s served me a bunch of times. He got me for my Metroid fan game, my Zelda demake, and the Kirby slash fic I was trying to sell on the Kindle store. I’m telling you, if I didn’t know any better, I would have thought it was him. It’s definitely enough to fool your average copyright violator.”

Some of Barton’s followers speculated that the new lawyer may have been generated by artificial intelligence.

“Back in my day, if you wanted to rip off a legal professional, you had to do it manually,” said user BuffSmite91 on X (formerly Twitter). “You had to painstakingly drop out of law school, or watch a bunch of YouTube videos, or at least look stuff up on Wikipedia. I’m not saying that it’s right to benefit so directly from the fruits of others’ labor, but it was kind of tradition. ‘Faux-torney’ was basically its own genre, and at least they put some effort into it. Now these hacks can do it with the push of a button.”

Legal experts were quick to push back on Barton’s claims.

“Okay, I’m getting really sick of seeing this stuff from laymen,” said attorney Jerry Waller, whose social media profile simply read, “#LawTwitter,” and noted that he was a graduate of Yale. “It’s just so tiring to log on and see these guys claiming that all lawyers are the same. We’re individual human beings. For instance, I do a livestream where I play Minecraft while talking about recent legal news. My friend Barry does a stream where he builds LEGO models while talking about recent legal news. We couldn’t be any more different. It’s bullshit.”

When asked about the issue, Nintendo stated that they refuse to comment on rumors or speculation.

Tumblr Millennial Retires to Bluesky

Posted on by Kyle Duggan

FRESNO, Calif. — A 33-year old millennial is reportedly joining Bluesky in order to relive their fond memories of Tumblr’s peak, not-quite-middle-aged sources have confirmed.

“I know everyone said Tumblr died a long time ago, but I was hoping it’d still make a comeback,” said Alex Dalton, who said they have had several accounts on the platform starting as early as 2007. “I think it’s finally time to move on, though. I was always afraid of Twitter and Instagram because they were so different. I mean, how am I supposed to read a thread if its replies aren’t awkwardly nested from right to left? At least Bluesky obfuscates the quote-post chains, so they’re similarly impossible to read. It’s not quite home, yet, but it’s familiar.”

Bluesky CEO Jay Graber confirmed that providing a place for aging millennials to safely post was the entire point of the platform.

“We knew that Bluesky had to be a modern social media site,” said Graber, “but it needed to have a similar vibe to Tumblr or else it would scare and confuse our core users. It’s like how Alzheimer’s wards have their nurses dress in uniforms from the 1960s and play oldies on the radio. Our version of that was seeding the platform with a bunch of posts about ‘Doctor Who’ and ‘Homestuck’ that turn on caps lock in the middle of a sentence for no reason. It provides a certain level of comfort that allows our audience to post through the horrors of the changing world around them.”

Social media expert Matthew Phillips noted that generational migrations such as this are not uncommon.

“You see this with every website,” said Phillips. “Gen X had Friendster. Friendster is gone. Now, they’ve happily adopted Facebook ever since the Boomers flooded in and ruined it. I can only imagine where all the Zoomers will end up in a few years, once TikTok has faded. Maybe some venture capitalist is seeding the very start-up that will create it right now. Only time will tell.”

At press time, Dalton was seen wearing a dream-like smile as they read a poorly-organized thread about the gender politics of “Supernatural.”

Anyone Else Notice How This “Sheep” Animal Looks Suspiciously Similar To Wooloo?

Posted on by Alex Kitsinger

I’m something of a Pokémon superfan, and the recent Palworld discourse had me wondering something; have any other major properties been secretly plagiarizing from Game Freak this entire time? I had to do some classic investigative journalism in order to get to the bottom of this. Nintendo is clearly helpless in this matter and needs someone like me to protect them from further copyright infringement.

I started with looking for any obvious Pokémon clones. You know, your electric rats, or birds made out of fire, or suspiciously hot rabbits. I did learn about something called a “phoenix” during my research, but that seems to be a couple years older than Moltres, so those get a pass.

Then I noticed something I can’t believe I had never seen before: there’s this animal called a “sheep” that looks way too similar to Wooloo to be a coincidence.

Almost everything about them is copied directly from Wooloo. They have fluffy white wool, which primarily covers their torso and not their limbs. Their ears stick way out from the sides of their heads, and they sometimes have horns! You can even occasionally find ones with black wool, just like a shiny Wooloo. This is all clearly taken directly from Pokémon.

The worst part has got to be the eyes, though. As if the rest of that wasn’t enough, it’s like the eyes were traced; they’re yellow on the outside, with a horizontal, rectangular pupil. It’s so shameless! Pokémon came up with such a unique and original design just for it to be ripped off like this.

Right about now you may be asking how a real animal is copied from a video game, and I do not have the answer to that. But I have to ask you a question: Had you ever even seen – no, had you ever even heard of a sheep before 2019? That’s right, you hadn’t. Nobody had ever seen a sheep before Pokémon Sword and Shield came out when – you guessed it – Wooloo was introduced.

Upon further research, I believe I know who is responsible for this blatant plagiarism: New Zealand. They have five times as many sheep as they do people. It’s the perfect place to manufacture and release these bootlegs. The New Zealand government needs to be stopped! 

I suggest that Nintendo and The Pokemon Company pursue legal action in order to right this obvious copyright infringement before they do it again. I suspect they already have, by copying Game Freak’s other original designs such as Pidgey and Magikarp.

Vaati Ends Campaign, Endorses Ganondorf

Posted on by Kyle Duggan

HYRULE — Evil sorcerer-turned-demon Vaati has suspended his campaign to conquer and dominate Hyrule just days before the crucial Lanayru primary, monstrous sources have confirmed.

“The number one priority has always been taking down Drowsy Daphnes,” said Vaati at a press conference, referring to King Daphnes by a pejorative nickname. “The time has come for us to unite behind one leader, and that leader is Ganondorf. I’ve always respected him, as evidenced by my pledge to pardon him for his so-called ‘crimes.’ Now, I must to return to my duties as an entity sealed inside the Four Sword. I doubt that old blade has been functioning well without me.”

Vaati’s supporters were dismayed at the news.

“He seemed like a more sane Ganondorf,” said Purlo, a resident of Hyrule Castle Town. “Like, they have the same political goals, Vaati just has a veneer of respectability. He wasn’t involved in the storming of the Sacred Realm, even though that was actually a false flag op by the Seven Sages and wasn’t really a big deal, anyway. He’s just got less baggage, you know? I do think it was weird how he used the Light Force to make himself look taller, but there’s no such thing as a perfect candidate.”

Demon King Ganondorf welcomed the support of his former rival.

“We love Vaati, don’t we, folks?” said the Gerudo thief, despite referring to Vaati as, “Mr. Eyeball,” and, “Faati,” as recently as Monday morning. “We love him and he said some very nice things about me. Very nice. He’s got this thing called the Light Force — not as nice as the Triforce, not as nice, but not too shabby. But he said some nice things, not like Meatball Malladus, who’s been very mean. But that’s okay, folks, it’s okay. We’re gonna — and let me just say, I’ve got nothing against Malladus. Nothing against him. Never said anything mean or bad about Malladus. But he’s a one-game villain, isn’t he, folks? Is that who you want taking on Drowsy Daphnes and the do-nothing sages?”

At press time, Ganondorf appeared to confuse Malladus and Princess Zelda, claiming that the attack on the fabled Sacred Realm had occurred under the former’s watch rather than the latter.

Cody Rhodes Selected as WWE 2K24 Cover Star Until the Rock Decides He Wants to Do It

NOVATO, CALIFORNIA – 2K Games has announced in a press release that Cody Rhodes will be the cover athlete for the upcoming WWE 2K24, provided that Dwayne Johnson does not become available prior to the game’s release.

“Cody Rhodes is a beloved WWE superstar with an inspirational journey, and we can think of nobody better suited to be the face of 2K24,” the statement reads. “Unless The Rock is down for it, obviously, in which case we’ll readily throw away a year and a half of planning in order to give a 51 year-old Hollywood star the spotlight that he deserves. But until then yeah, Cody. We loooove Cody.”

At a promotional event for the game, Rhodes expressed how honored he was to be selected as the (presumptive) cover star.

“I remember when I got the call, I was shocked,” the WWE star told the crowd. “I never would have thought in my first run in WWE that I would ever be on the cover of one of these games. But I’ve always believed that if you bet on yourself and do the work, you can make your dreams a reality. And this cover is proof of that,” Rhodes said with tears in his eyes. “Also, on the off chance that Dwayne does come back, WWE and 2K have assured me that I can be the guy he’s giving the Rock Bottom to. So I’ll still be on the cover and that’s…that’s cool, right?”

While taking questions from the audience, Cody was asked whether he was nervous about the possibility of having this moment taken away from him at the last minute by an aging former wrestler.

“I’m not too worried about it,” he assured the crowd after a passionate 20-minute promo about how America is the greatest country in the world. “Around this time every year there are rumors that The Rock is going to take someone’s spot on the WWE 2K cover, and it never happens. Honestly I was a lot more worried when Punk came back, but thankfully I guess the 2K team felt I’d done more to earn th-”

“Wait a second,” interrupted a 2K representative seated next to Rhodes, “…CM Punk came back? Oh wow, this changes everything!” They then quickly dismissed the attendees before beginning to scrawl a rough CM Punk WWE 2K24 cover on the back of the press release.

At press time, Cody Rhodes had just been announced as the cover star for AEW Fight Forever 2.
