ROH’s Danhausen Has Big Future Goals: Win TV Title And Team With Dalton Castle

Professional wrestler Danhausen has some serious goals for his character but in a world still in the middle of a pandemic obtaining them might take longer than expected. Currently signed to Ring of Honor since December of last year, the mischievous and macabre wrestler has some big goals for the future.

“So I think to be more of a mainstay on the television product would be great,” Danhausen told Gamespot. “I feel like that’s an obtainable goal. I think Danhausen would fit well with the TV title since he’s also obsessed with TV.”

Outriders Lore Trailer Reveals How The journey To Enoch Began

In a new trailer, developer People Can Fly has given a brief explanation as to how Earth fell apart and how all hopes for the continuation of the species rested on the shoulders of the most outstanding survivors who were evacuated from the planet.

Unfortunately, that plan went awry when the spaceship carrying the A-team of explorers exploded, leaving the fate of humanity up to the best of the rest instead.

Fast forward a few decades to where Outriders begins, and the future looks grim. The planet of Enoch is far more hostile than originally imagined, strange storms have killed numerous people and enhanced others with wild new powers, and decades of civil war have pushed the colonists closer to extinction than ever before.

Roblox Developer Goes Public With A Direct Listing, And That’s A Big Deal

It’s a big day for Roblox, as the game’s owner is now listed on the New York Stock Exchange as part of a business move that marks the next stage in the developer’s growth.

Founder David Baszucki was on-hand in New York to ring the opening bell to mark the start of trading for Roblox, which will trade under RBLX. In a statement, Baszucki said, “In 2004, we founded Roblox with the vision of connecting the world. Today, as we celebrate our direct listing on the New York Stock Exchange, we recognize the potential ahead of us: to build the platform where billions of people come together to learn, work, and play.”

A direct listing differs from an initial public offering (IPO). With a direct listing, outstanding shares are sold, compared to an IPO where new shares are created and sold to the public.

Mario 3D World: Bowser’s Fury Mod Turns Ground To Lava

Bowser’s Fury, the open-world portion of the recent Super Mario 3D World Switch port, is a lot more dangerous thanks to a clever mod. The mod turns most of the ground into lava for a much more treacherous gaming experience.

Modder Amethyst-szs (via Polygon) produced the mod and created a video of it in action. The mod turns most of the sand and other ground into lava, with only some narrow pathways and fencing remaining safe to stand on. That makes getting around a lot tougher, especially when Fury Bowser pops up to add his own fireballs to the mix. You can download the mod and try it for yourself at GameBanana.

While most of the game is able to be completed this way, Amethyst-szs says only 86 of the 100 Cat Shines appear to be possible. That leaves 14 unclaimed, so you can’t get the 100% ending. That said, Amethyst says it may be possible to get more and would like to see how if anyone manages it.

PAX Australia Returns In 2021 With COVID-19 Cases On The Decline

After cancelling 2020’s show due to the pandemic, PAX Australia is back on for 2021. The organizers have announced that the event will take place at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Center this October 8-10.

Due to the pandemic, this won’t be the same PAX as you may remember it. The organizers said they are taking “all necessary precautions for public health,” and this will include following national and local health guidelines that are in place in October.

While that information is still up in the air, PAX Aus will only sell a “limited” number of tickets to the show due to the current capacity restrictions in place at the site. However, the organizers said they are hopeful that conditions continue to improve in Melbourne and that they can sell more tickets before the show.

New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Game Shredder’s Revenge Coming To PC And Consoles

A brand-new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game is on the way called TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge. It’s inspired by the beloved 1991 arcade game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles In Time. Much like that game, Shredder’s Revenge is a side-scrolling beat-em-up, and it’s being developed by Tribute Games and published by Dotemu. It’s set to release on both PC and consoles, although there’s no word on exactly which consoles it’ll be available on.

Taking a retro pixel art direction, Shredder’s Revenge preserves the teenage mutants’ original 1987 design and presents classic villains like Krang and Shredder. The game takes place in locations familiar to the TMNT universe, from the streets of New York City to Dimension X. A Steam page is now live, although no price is listed.

Just as you’d expect, Shredder’s Revenge supports four-player co-op multiplayer as you square off against Shredder and the Foot Clan. Each turtle has their own moves and skills, and you’ll be able to utilize combos as you deal with your foes. There’s also a mention of vehicles and a story mode.

Call Of Duty: Warzone Anniversary Swag Teases Zombies Invasion Again

Call of Duty: Warzone appears to be getting a zombie invasion. Following a teaser last week that implied the undead hordes might overtake Verdansk, a package appears to be going out to streamers with yet another clue.

Streamer PrestigeIsKey tweeted about a package he received to mark the one-year anniversary of Warzone. It includes what appears to be an orange prison jumpsuit with “Captured” printed on it, and a small card with the Warzone logo. The card reads: “There are no second chances after losing a battle here. The outer prison is a hostile-rich environment. You’re safer in the ghoul-ag.”

The “ghoul-ag” is a wordplay on the Gulag, an special environment in Warzone matches that lets you fight your way back into the main match. But the “ghoul” part gives it a notably horror feel. The note also implies that zombies will be overrunning the outer territory, and that it could even impact the gulag second-chance mechanic itself.

Watch Stephen Colbert Get Emotional About Amazon’s Lord Of The Rings Show

Late night TV host Stephen Colbert put his Lord of the Rings fandom on display during a recent portion of his interview with actor Andy Samberg. In the video, Colbert said he heard that Samberg is also a big fan of Middle-earth and invited him to have a dialogue about the fantasy series. Samberg shared that he’s been a fan of the franchise since he was a child, as his father read him The Hobbit when he was 5.

To this day, he rewatches the movies every year with his wife, the singer-songwriter-performer-actress Joanna Newsom. Sandberg then asked Colbert for his thoughts on Amazon’s big-budget Lord of the Rings series, and Colbert had a lot to say.

Colbert said he’s very curious about the potential for the Lord of the Rings Amazon show because its setting in the Second Age opens up a number of interesting story possibilities. In fact, Colbert met with an Amazon chief at a party and offered up some thoughts on the show and how it could touch on things like the Numenoreans and Aragorn’s ancestors.
