Here’s What’s New In Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War And Warzone This Week

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.

Young Rock Star Talks Training With Chavo Guerrero, Becoming Rocky Johnson

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.

HBO Max’s Peacemaker Adds Alison Araya And Lenny Jacobson

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 Patch 1.11 Is Out, And It Wipes All Player Progress

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.
