Yes, yes, Wednesday saw the end of the Trump-Pence administration and the beginning of the Biden-Harris one–but the moment and arguably the day belonged to Bernie Sanders. Chances are if you’re reading this, you’re already well aware that a photo of the United States senator from Vermont attending the inauguration while masked up, socially distanced, and arms folded with fluffy finger mittens became a meme. But what you might not be aware of is how widespread the meme has become.

It’s such a simple formula–take a picture of the 79-year-old senator and Photoshop him into a new context and, bam, it is instantly surreal and hilarious. But you don’t have to take our word for it. Check out just some of our favorites below so far, after the original for comparison sake.

Meanwhile, Instagram account theberniealbums has sprung up and has already as of this writing inserted this photo of Sanders into 54 album covers. The account is likely up to the task, but it’s pretty hard to top this Fleetwood Mac Rumours one.

A Humble Bundle store page listing has revealed that Resident Evil Village will feature a mode called Re:Verse. Further details about what bonuses will feature in the game’s deluxe edition have also been revealed ahead of today’s Resident Evil Showcase stream.

Twitter user Edward_Outcast first spotted the leak, posting it to Twitter. The copy they’ve screen-capped is sourced from the Humble Bundle store page for Resident Evil Village, which is still live as of writing. The description mentions that both versions of the game will include a new mode called Re:Verse. It’s not clear yet whether this is a multiplayer mode or something else, but the copy surrounding it mentions “end of service” and its availability suggests as such.

“Details of the operational period for Resident Evil Re:Verse, including commencement of availability and any potential announcements relating to the end of service, can be found on the official website,” the copy reads. “Please note that, depending on the timing of your purchase of Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil Re:Verse may already no longer be available, and/or the title may become available through other means in the future.”

The description also links to a website for Re:Verse, which isn’t live just yet. The store page also lists the items contained in the Deluxe Edition of the game. Players who purchase the Deluxe Edition will pick up the ‘Trauma Pack’ which contains “the “Samurai Edge” weapon, the “Mr. Everywhere” accessory, a screen filter and special safe room background music.”

There is also a pack of bonus items available to players who pre-order any edition of the game. This includes a Mr. Racoon Weapon Charm, a Survival Resources Pack and a Resident Evil Village Mini Soundtrack.

We’ve also got a short blurb describing the premise of the game “Set a few years after the horrifying events in the critically acclaimed Resident Evil 7 biohazard, the all-new storyline begins with Ethan Winters and his wife Mia living peacefully in a new location, free from their past nightmares,” it reads. “Just as they are building their new life together, tragedy befalls them once again.”

The Resident Evil Showcase was announced last week and is set to take place today at 2pm Pacific / 5pm Eastern / 10pm UK (that’s 9am AEDT on January 22). Check out our article for all the details on how you can tune in.

Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino’s classic 1996 vampire movie From Dusk till Dawn celebrates its 25th anniversary this month, and now Rodriguez has announced that he is working on an animated version of the film.

The director revealed his plans in an interview with Games Radar. The animated series will continue to expand the mythology of the movie’s Aztec vampires rather than simply be a remake and is being developed for Rodriguez’s action-orientated El Rey TV network. No further details have been revealed so far, and the project does not have a release date.

This won’t be the first spin-off from From Dusk till Dawn. There were two direct-to-video sequels in the ’90s, and more recently, Rodriguez produced a live-action TV show, which ran for three seasons between 2014 and 2016. From Dusk till Dawn: The Series aired on El Rey in the US and Latin America and is available on Netflix internationally.

The Humble Store page includes a link to a Resident Evil Re:Verse website, but the page is not available just yet. It appears the link went live too early.

Japanese gaming publisher Capcom has announced that it expects to make even more money than anticipated for its latest financial year due to the big success of a few key titles.

In a news release, Capcom said it is increasing its forecast for revenue and profit for the financial year ending March 31 due in part to big sales of Resident Evil 3 and ongoing sales of catalog titles like Monster Hunter World.

Capcom said its efforts to grow digital game sales have paid off, and that is also part of the reason why the company is increasing its revenue and profit forecast. On top of that, Capcom said preorders for Monster Hunter Rise for Nintendo Switch are “off to a promising start.” All of these factors, in addition to a presumed boost due to COVID-19, is why Capcom is raising its performance estimates for the financial period.
