WandaVision: Vision’s Comic Book History, Explained
Over the last decade, the MCU has done a lot of legwork for some of the more niche Marvel superheroes, elevating them from relative obscurity to household name status with just a couple of big budget blockbusters. But, unsurprisingly, the transformation from comic book character to A-list live action celebrity brings some changes and updates with it. Sometimes they’re relatively minor–solidifying more obscure or esoteric bits of origin stories or shaving off clunky bits of continuity left over from years and years of publication history–but other times, they can practically reinvent the character from the ground up into something almost entirely new.
This is exactly what happened with Vision, Marvel’s charmingly obtuse superheroic robot played by Paul Bettany. Since he’s going on to star in his very own Disney+ TV series, WandaVision, by the end of the year, we figured now was a perfect time to blow the doors off the character’s lengthy and complicated history outside of the MCU. After all, if that first trailer is any indication, WandaVision is going to be jam packed with layers upon layers of some deeply arcane Marvel mythology, so it’s probably best to go in fully prepared to catch everything you possibly can.
Xbox Series X: Amazon Is Contacting Some Users About Shipment Delays
The Xbox Series X and S consoles are launching this week, but if you ordered from Amazon, your shipment might not make it to you right away. The retailer has dispatched notices to some people to let them know their new Xbox may not arrive until the end of December.
Here at GameSpot, we received an email from Amazon noting that, “We expect to ship your console in the coming weeks as we receive more inventory in November and December.” The email states that, “We anticipate that you will receive your Xbox Series X by 12/31 or before.”
The notice goes on to state that Amazon is making “every effort” to ship the new console as soon as possible. Amazon also apologized for the delay and reminded shoppers that they will receive a notification by email when the order finally ships.
A Destiny 2 Live Event Is Coming Today – Here’s When To Expect It
Destiny 2 is about to enter its next big chapter with the release of the Beyond Light expansion on Tuesday, November 10, and it’s made some big story moves in the last season. One more thing is on the way before servers go offline on November 9 to make way for the expansion: another in-game live event.
Bungie has been cagey about the event but has suggested that it’ll be pretty small-scale. A patch is coming to the game at 4 p.m. PT / 7 p.m. ET, which you’ll need to download before the event starts. Bungie says you should be in the game before 6:50 PM PT / 9:50 PM ET to take part in the live event.
Re: What time should I sign in for the end of season event?
This is a small event, a moment for you to spend some time with friends as the season comes to a close.

The story of the Season of Arrivals has seen the in-game run-up to several Destiny 2 locations being “vaulted,” or indefinitely removed from the game. Titan, Io, Mercury, Mars, and the Leviathan are all being removed in Beyond Light, and those destinations have seen story beats throughout the season as an explanation for that happening, in which you’ve tried to help prepare to evacuate those planets. It seems like the live event might be a capper on that story ahead of the launch of Beyond Light and its big changes to Destiny 2.

Doom YouTuber Replaces Game’s Entire Sound Library With His Voice
The original Doom and Doom 2 might be approaching 30 years of age, but there are still die-hard players out there making and playing maps all the time. Now, one of YouTube’s most successful Doom players has released a mod that replaces the entire sound library of both games with recreations done entirely a cappella.
A video uploaded by another YouTuber shows the WAD in action. It replaces all of the game’s sound files, including all of the sound effects, music tracks, and monster groans. If you’ve ever wanted to listen to a monotone man recreate a ripoff of Metallica’s No Remorse with his mouth, it’s exactly what you’ve been waiting for. Even the ambient hum of the chainsaw is included.
The WAD was made as a joke by Decino as a way of celebrating the milestone of 100k subscribers. Decino is a YouTuber who specializes in playthroughs of difficult or notable Doom WADs, often with increased challenge conditions, such as fast monsters. A recent update for Doom 1 and 2 on Steam added a new difficulty level to the game, Ultra-Violence Plus, as well as improving the game’s deathmatch mode. Recently, a Twitter user got Doom to run on a pregnancy test, which is quite the achievement.
NBA 2K21 On Xbox Series X/S Over 100GB
NBA 2K21 on Xbox Series X will take up a substantial amount of storage, as the next-gen basketball simulator requires over 100GB of space.
We’ve confirmed the new next-gen version of NBA 2K21 requires 101GB; we have not yet confirmed the PS5 or Series S sizes.
It’s unclear why NBA 2K21 requires so much hard drive space, but it features some impressive graphical enhancements. Visual Concepts’ gameplay director Mike Wang discussed the ways the PlayStation 5, for example, improves NBA 2K21’s experience in October. Wang shared copious details, including how the game has better ball handling and more consistent movement on next-gen versus current-gen. And a recent next-gen gameplay video highlighted the stunning visuals in NBA 2K21. Alongside these changes, developer Visual Concepts is adding the WNBA exclusively to the next-gen versions.
PS5’s Original Design Was Even Bigger
The PlayStation 5 is a very large console, but it was originally envisioned as an even bigger machine. The person who designed the look of the console, Yujin Morisawa, told The Washington Post that his initial drawings of the console were even larger than the final product.
“When I started drawing, it was much larger even though I didn’t know what engineering was going to do,” Morisawa said. “It’s kind of funny that engineering actually told me it’s too big. So, I actually had to shrink it down a little bit from the first drawing.”
At the onset of designing the machine, Morisawa said he knew the PS5 had to be physically larger than the PS4 because of its internals and the need to create space for air flow and the heat sink.
Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition Shines On PS5
A little over a year after the release of Devil May Cry 5, Capcom has delivered Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition, an updated version that positions itself as a great next-gen launch title showcasing the power of the PS5. Along with the increased technical performance, the Special Edition sees the return of a few gameplay modes, a host of performance options, and the return of fan-favorite edgelord Vergil.
Like with previous Vergil campaigns, don’t expect much in the way of new story content outside of new cutscenes at the beginning and end. You’ll be running through the same scenarios as the other characters, minus any story and dialogue. The result is a lean campaign where the star of the show is Vergil’s moveset, which is fantastic. Those who played him in Devil May Cry 4’s Special Edition will feel right at home, as pretty much all of Vergil’s moves have been carried over. His biggest new tricks include a doppelganger he can summon to help with crowd control, as well as the ability to temporarily transform himself into V, which allows you to regain health while dealing some damage.
Vergil may be familiar, but as someone who just enjoys how DMC5 feels to play, I still had a blast blazing through his campaign. Vergil is incredibly fun to control, and that carries over here as you pit him against the demon horde. It also helps that his battle theme, Bury the Light, whips and I will never tire of hearing it.
