It’s October, and that means it’s time for video games to begin celebrating Halloween. Blizzard is one developer known for always hosting special in-game events to mark the occasion, and Overwatch‘s recently announced Halloween Terror event is now live, introducing a wealth of new items to obtain.

Blizzard revealed a pair of skins when it first announced the event, and three more were subsequently leaked. With the event now live, we’ve gotten a look at everything it has to offer, including Torbjorn and Ana skins. These will be available through a limited-time event Loot Box, which contains more than 140 cosmetic items, including skins, voice lines, emotes, highlight intros, and more. This features a mixture of 50-plus new items, as well as returning ones from last year. You can see a selection of new and returning cosmetics below, or head to our gallery to see all the new Overwatch Halloween Terror 2017 skins.

Halloween Terror runs from now through November 2. It also brings back the Junkenstein’s Revenge co-op event, where players take on waves of AI-controlled enemies in a Horde-style mode. For this year, a new endless option is available with accompanying leaderboards to track who can make it through the most waves.

All of this is available for free to players on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Of course, you can also buy Loot Boxes to get your hands on more items; these cosmetics are only available for the duration of the event, though they’ll presumably return once again next year.

Are you ready to step back aboard the Waverider and see how Legends of Tomorrow is going to screw up time this year? A sizzle reel for Season 3 has been released ahead of the premiere and it gives away a lot of the surprises the series has in store.

When Season 2 ended, it was with the time-traveling misfit Legends arriving back in modern day, only to realize they’ve changed the timeline so much that dinosaurs are still terrorizing the planet. Now they have to fix everything they’ve broken. Unfortunately, it won’t be that easy.

The Legends have seemingly been replaced. Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) is back, but this time with his new team, the Time Bureau. “Your services are no longer required,” he tells Sara Lance (Caity Lotz) and the rest of the Legends, as his new by-the-book crew sets out to correct the mistakes in the timeline. Don’t expect them to simply back down in the face of Hunter’s arrival, though.

Instead, based on the sizzle reel, they’re going to get into bigger adventures than ever before and further prove why this is the most fun TV series set in the DC universe. Whether it’s joining the circus, fighting vampires, or landing in the middle of the Vietnam War, nothing if off-limits for Legends of Tomorrow.

What’s more, Season 3 will bring some very familiar faces to fans into the fold. Not only is Damien Darhk (Neal McDonough) returning as one of the year’s villains, he will be joined by Gorilla Grodd–making the jump to the show from The Flash. Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller) will also be back and, based on this trailer, even Kid Flash (Keiynan Lonsdale) is making an appearance.

Once character missing from the trailer that has been confirmed to appear at some point in Season 3 is John Constantine (Matt Ryan). This will be the second time Ryan, who played the role on NBC’s Constantine, will bring the master of the occult to The CW. He last appeared during Season 4 of Arrow and will also star in an animated series on the CW Seed streaming platform.

Legends of Tomorrow premieres Tuesday, October 10, at 9 PM on The CW.

It’s October, and with Halloween approaching, Blizzard is marking the occasion with a new Overwatch event. Halloween Terror 2017 is now underway, and that means new skins are available for a limited time.

Like last year’s event, Halloween Terror replaces the standard Loot Box with a special themed one. This allows you to get the exclusive Halloween Terror 2016 cosmetics in addition to more than 50 new ones. Among them are a variety of skins, including Legendary ones for Ana, McCree, Zenyatta, and Symmetra. You can check out all of the new skins currently up for grabs in the gallery above.

In addition to simply offering new cosmetics, there’s also a new way to play. 2016’s Junkenstein’s Revenge event has made a return; this co-op, Horde-style mode has players facing off against waves of AI-controlled enemies. A new endless option this year allows you to see just how many waves your team of four can make it through. Leaderboards will track your progress and allow players to compete for the top spot.

Halloween Terror 2017 is now underway on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. It runs until November 2 on all platforms.

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s Hulu comedy about a first-person shooter come to life is expectedly gross, but often very funny.

South Park has given us a ridiculous amount of memorable characters. But which are the cream of the crop?

Vin Diesel has responded to the controversy surrounding Fast & Furious 9, saying on Instagram that “it’s unfair” to blame anybody for the next film in the immensely-popular franchise being postponed until 2020.

Specifically, Diesel was replying to costar Tyrese Gibson, who took a shot at Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, blaming Johnson for the postponement.

This is not the first controversy to arise since Johnson joined the franchise as Luke Hobbs in Fast Five. In the past, there have been rumors about Johnson and Diesel not seeing eye to eye. However, despite this fact, Diesel has come to the defense of Johnson in this moment.

In Shadow of War, Talion will have to quickly re-learn many of his old Skills from the previous game, Shadow of Mordor, along with plenty of new skills and upgrades for each of the main skills. As enticing as the upgrades are, you’ll really want to focus on getting certain skills early on in the game, which will require going down the line of skills in each tree to get the best ones. While all of the skills are important in their own way, our Shadow of War Wiki writers have compiled 5 Essential Skills you should get as soon as possible.

Season 8 of Game of Thrones will be filming sooner than you’d think.

Episodes 109 & 110 aired as a two-part special, and as such are being reviewed together as one entity. Spoilers for both episodes follow.

After weeks of fighting, the event that everyone in the Tournament of Power was waiting for finally happened Jiren and Goku met up in battle.An epic, nearly world-shattering fight ensued. It wasn’t without its stumbles, but they were few and far between, which left ample room for Super to amaze and delight with its amazing battles and stunning ki-blasts.

One thing that becomes clear only after viewing both episodes in their entirety is Episode 109’s excellent pacing. This is especially important for Dragon Ball Super because, let’s face it, Dragon Ball series of the past weren’t exactly known for their success in condensed, action-packed fights. This instilled a worry that potentially great moments would be ruined with excessive exposition and pointless screaming, but that thankfully was not the case with these episodes.

A WARNING BEFORE YOU TRY THIS: Doing this will almost certainly void your warranty. It’s also possible you might break your Switch or Joy-Cons entirely, so proceed with caution and at your own risk!

We got our hands on a variety of custom cases for the back of the Switch and the Joy-Cons, from plain white to shiny gold. It’s a bit tricky to pull off, but with the right tools (and letting us make some mistakes so you don’t have to) it’s not so hard.

Watch the video above to see an in-depth, hands-on tutorial on how to take apart your Switch and Joy-Cons, then put them back together with a fancy new look. You can also read on for written instructions, but I highly recommend you reference the video to see how things are done.
