The Razer Huntsman is among the best gaming keyboard options out there, but depending on the model you want, it can be quite expensive. However, the smaller versions are quite affordable, and right now, you can get the Razer Huntsman Mini gaming keyboard for $100, down from its regular price of $120. That might not seem like much of a discount, but this is the first markdown we’ve seen for the 60% keyboard. It’s unclear how long this deal will be available for.

The Huntsman Mini is also customizable with Razer’s Synapse software. This includes creating and mapping macros as well as tweaking its Chroma RGB lighting. One thing to note about the Huntsman Mini is that it doesn’t feature function keys or dedicated media buttons. You’ll have to use the Fn key in tandem with specific keys to utilize those actions–these secondary inputs are printed on the bottom of each keycap.

Pokemon Go‘s next Community Day is set for March 6, developer Niantic has announced. The featured Pokemon for this event will be Fletchling, and there will be a new Special Research story and various other in-game bonuses.

Throughout March’s Community Day, Fletchling will appear in the wild much more frequently than usual, giving you more chances to catch it and stock up on Fletchling Candy. You’ll also have your first chance to catch a Shiny Fletchling during the event.

As usual, you’ll also be able to get a special event-exclusive move during March’s Community Day. If you can evolve Fletchinder–Fletchling’s evolved form–into Talonflame up to two hours after the event ends, it’ll automatically know the Fire-type attack Incinerate.

Civilization 6 will be getting its next free community update on February 25 at 11 AM PT/ 2 PM ET/ 7 PM GMT.

Each of these community updates brings a new feature along with it. For February, we’re getting the Barbarian Clans game mode. Playing this way will completely change how you’re used to interacting with the Barbarians in Civ 6. Instead of the standard kill-or-be-killed setup, this mode introduces six Barbarian clans that can be found living on or near different map conditions, with each specializing in a different unit type. Each turn, the Barbarians will accumulate progress towards becoming a city-state; it’s your call if you want to help or hinder them in that endeavor.

Destroying a clan will wipe it off the map completely, while choosing to raid one will allow you to earn gold and decrease some of that clan’s progress. To stop clans from attacking your cities, you can bribe them or hire them to add their strongest unit to your army. Barbarian clans can also abduct your units, and you’ll need to pay a ransom to get them back. To really get your Machiavelli on, you can Incite different clans by paying them to attack other enemy cities for you. Exchanging gold in this way will also allow a barbarian clan to gain progress towards becoming a city-state.

Marvel Comics has revealed a new Star Wars crossover set in the period in between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Dubbed War of the Bounty Hunters, this Boba Fett-centric storyline will address one of the biggest unanswered questions about this era in the Star Wars timeline.

This crossover kicks off in May 2021 with a prelude issue called Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters Alpha #1, from writer Charles Soule (Star Wars) and artist Steve McNiven (Civil War). From there, the story will continue both in the form of a five issue War of the Bounty Hunters miniseries (written by Soule and drawn by Star Wars: Thrawn’s Luke Ross) and in the pages of Marvel’s four Episode V-era comics – Star Wars, Star Wars: Darth Vader, Star Wars: Bounty Hunters and Star Wars: Doctor Aphra.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=star-wars-war-of-the-bounty-hunters-cover-gallery&captions=true”]

War of the Bounty Hunters aims to address the question of why it took so long for Luke, Leia and Lando to rescue the frozen Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt. After all, there’s about a year of time separating the latter two movies in the original trilogy. As we’ll learn, Boba Fett didn’t immediately make his way to Jabba’s Palace. Fett will now find himself the most hunted target in the galaxy as the Rebel Alliance, the Black Sun criminal organization and even his fellow bounty hunters do everything in their power to steal his prize bounty.

“The main story that we’re dealing with is a Boba Fett-focused crime epic, that involves Boba Fett going up against some of the heaviest hitters in the galaxy. It’s Jabba the Hutt. It’s Black Sun. It’s Darth Vader. And a bunch of others — factions and so on — that I think will be really interesting for the fans,” Soule told Star Wars.com. “It’s basically Boba Fett, by himself, against all of these people.”

This is certainly interesting timing for a Boba Fett story, given the character’s recent, long-awaited return in The Mandalorian: Season 2 and the new details revealed about his family history and connection to Mandalore. Will War of the Bounty Hunters build on those reveals and showcase a more sympathetic approach to this formerly enigmatic villain?

Interestingly, Marvel previously teased this crossover with the following image, which could suggest Fett will be donning a shiny black costume and spear during this ordeal:

Whatever happens, Soule makes it clear the crossover is designed to lay the groundwork for even bigger things to come for the franchise.

“War of the Bounty Hunters is a story about Boba Fett doing his thing, but it builds into something much bigger, and that’s what the best comic crossovers and big stories do. They tell a great story in and of themselves, but they’re also the start of something, and they open a lot of new doors,” Soule continued. “And this story will absolutely do that.”

This is just the latest example of Marvel’s current Star Wars lineup filling in some major gaps in the Star Wars timeline or addressing key plot holes. For example, the core Star Wars series has revealed how Luke recovered his X-Wing from Cloud City and introduced Luke’s Kenner-inspired yellow lightsaber, while Darth Vader has forged an important link to The Rise of Skywalker.

McDonald’s has started a new promotion, this time featuring the timeless, enduring property for kids and weird adults alike, Pokemon. And as one such weird adult, I sincerely regret to inform you that the included “toys” are actually pretty cool. Do with this knowledge what you will.

We first started to hear scuttlebutt about the Pokemon Happy Meals in January, with leaked word that it would involve a series of paper-based “toys” instead of the plastic figurines of past promotions. Ha! How cheap, I thought, remembering such Happy Meal royalty as the Halloween dress-up McNuggets and Changeables, which were basically Transformers if Optimus Prime had disguised himself as a milkshake. Even the Pikachu with glowy red cheeks was up there as a pretty sweet collectible! Who needs cheap paper crap?

I do, apparently.

Former Nintendo executive Reggie Fils-Aime might have retired from his most famous post, but he still has plenty of stories to share. In a recent interview with Gamertag Radio, Fils-Aime suggested that he’s working on multiple “creative projects” that capture his time in the industry, including a possible book.

“I have a number of creative projects going on,” Fils-Aime said. “I am putting pen to paper and capturing thoughts and also thinking about podcasts…We did that as a fundraiser for the charity, and that worked out really well. So I absolutely see myself doing something in the creative space, but I’ve got no title to announce here today, I’ve got no details to share, but I’ve been asked by many people to capture these ideas, and I’ve begun that process.”

In the same interview, Fils-Aime said that the idea of “console wars” in gaming is mostly illusory, especially on the business side. He pointed out that all of the leaders of the major game companies come together every quarter to meet with the Entertainment Software Association, and they discuss what’s best for gaming. He said he was disappointed by the transformation of E3 into a digital-only event, though he recognizes that it’s necessary due to the pandemic. He also called the current level of diversity and representation in the gaming business “woefully inadequate.”

It’s a new week and that means Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and the battle royale game Warzone are being updated again with new playlists and store bundles. Activision outlined everything that’s new in a blog post, and we’ve collected the highlights here.

New Playlists For Black Ops Cold War

The Throwback Moshpit playlist is coming to Black Ops Cold War on February 18. It includes the popular classic maps that were updated for Cold War: Raid, Express, and Nuketown ’84.

Also coming to Black Ops Cold War on February 18 is the Snipers Only Moshpit playlist. As its name says, this is a playlist where all you have is a sniper rifle, so it’s a good way to hone your sniping skills or just have fun playing familiar maps in a new way.

With the premiere of Young Rock on NBC, a very different era of the professional wrestling industry is about to take center stage. Young Rock, as the title might hint, explores the life of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as an adolescent, long before he became the world’s biggest movie star and WWE’s People’s Champion. It’s set at three different times in Johnson’s life–ages 10, 15, and 18–and shows the highs and lows of pro wrestling in the ’70s and ’80s.

And who better person to show that industry to Johnson than his own father, “Soul Man” Rocky Johnson. In the series, actor Joseph Lee Anderson portrays the elder Johnson in a role that called on him to not only embody Rocky’s personality but also his in-ring skills. It wasn’t each for Anderson, but something he ultimately embraced–especially where Johnson’s over-the-top charisma is concerned.

“In real life, I’m very like a shy, introverted, dude,” the actor explained. “[Rocky] is not that at all.” Instead, Rocky projected the aura that he was the biggest star in the room, regardless of that room’s size.

James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad spin-off centering around Peacemaker has added Alison Araya and Lenny Jacobson in recurring roles, according to Variety. They will join John Cena for the series, which will premiere on HBO Max in January 2022.

Jacobson (Halt and Catch Fire) and Araya (Julie and the Phantoms), on top of other recent cast announcements in December-which included the addition of Chukwudi Iwuji (When They See Us) and Lochlyn Munro (Riverdale)–add to an increasingly fuller picture of what the series will have in store–even though it hasn’t yet been announced who all everyone will be playing in the spin-off.

Taking to Twitter, Gunn shared that, “Peacemaker is my first foray into television and I’m enjoying it immensely. Being able to explore the lives and relationships of characters over numerous episodes feels like being able to fully breathe creatively for the first time.”

DayZ’s latest patch is now live, and while it doesn’t make a ton of changes to the core game, it wipes all progress on the game’s official servers as part of a “fresh start” for the game’s 2021. According to a blog post that accompanies the rollout of the patch, it focuses mainly on fixing bugs and improving the game’s performance.

For example, the patch improves the collision on zombies, such that they will no longer go inside player characters during hectic fights. Players will also find that attempting to get into a car will no longer teleport them to the roof of the vehicle instead. Various bugs affecting the game’s horticulture and fishing systems have also been stamped out.

The patch includes a number of other small fixes, including improved detection of area damage triggers like barbed wire and an increase in the number of mods that can be run by community servers. There’s also a new rifle that spawns at helicopter crash sites called the SVAL–which is apparently the Czech word for muscle–and it’s particularly nasty, so watch out for that.
