In the wake of Twitch DMCA takedowns, DragonForce has announced that its last three albums are available for all content creators on the streaming platform to use.

Earlier this month, a number of Twitch streamers were faced with unexpected DMCA notices on their content. The streaming platform took to Twitter to advise content creators to take down clips containing background music from 2017 to 2019 while it worked on dealing with the sudden influx of requests from copyright holders on its end.

The DMCA takedown notices issued to various content creators were not the result of Twitch changing any existing fair-use politics, but the result of existing DMCA laws being enforced against the platform in a visible way for the first time.

Actor Robert Pattinson has shared his diet and exercise program for The Batman, and it sounds pretty tough. In the latest issue of Healthy For Men (via IGN), Pattinson reveals what he did to get jacked and fit for what might be one of his biggest roles to date, and it involves drinking less booze and working out more.

To get abs, Pattinson did circuits of bicycle crunches, dumbbell side bends, double crunches, and a superman–he did three sets of 25 repetitions per move.

For cardio, Pattinson ran 5-10 km three to four times per week. And for his general strength, Pattinson performed army-style heavy sandbag routines on the beach and boxing. Pattinson also took long walks to not only burn calories and limber up, but also to get his mind in a better place.

Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio stop-motion film, which was announced back in 2018, is making progress, with a major casting decision having come to light. In a video interview with Ace Universe, actor Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan in the Star Wars prequels) announced that he’s playing Jiminy Cricket in the upcoming film, and that recording had started before the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the interview, which was picked up on by Entertainment Weekly, McGregor says that he recorded some lines “before (he) left for New York,” and that since the film is stop-motion he expects that it is some time away from being finished yet. “But my first part of that, which is recording his dialogue, is sort of done,” he said.

However, he hints that there “may or may not be a song that needs to be recorded,” likely hinting at the iconic “When You Wish Upon A Star” from the 1940 Disney film. In the original, the song was sung by Cliff Edwards, the voice of the animated Jiminy Cricket.

GameSpot has officially kicked off Play For All–a celebration of all things gaming–and we were recently joined by Brian Fargo to talk about his long career and his upcoming title, Wasteland 3. Fargo talks about numerous topics with editor Michael Higham in the video below, and gives us a few interesting insights into the upcoming third Wasteland game.

Fargo reflects on the long road between Wasteland 1 and 2, and tells us that Wasteland 3 players won’t need to have played the first two to understand what is happening. However, fans familiar with the series will get several Easter eggs and returning characters. “There’s a lot of inside humor, there are things that only you would get,” he says. “There are some parts that will feel more meaningful,” and some characters return from both previous games, he explains–but it’s not necessary to have played them.

Fargo talks about the importance of choice and consequence in the game. “We think that true consequence, meaningful consequence, is what makes these worlds super immersive,” Fargo says, explaining that they “leaned into” this aspect of the game harder than ever for Wasteland 3. He says your choices might pay off “10 hours later, 20 hours later” during the game.

Jurassic World: Dominion is among the first major studio movies to resume production after shutting down due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Filming is set to begin again soon at Pinewood Studios in the UK, and now star Bryce Dallas Howard has spoken about returning to work amid the global pandemic.

“There’s been a lot of communication,” Howard said on the Entertainment Weekly Live Sirius XM show. “They are going above and beyond. We would never go back to work if we didn’t feel safe. And, you know, we’re taking it a day at a time and I’m very grateful to have a job.”

Howard went on to say that she has been speaking daily with the rest of the cast and crew about it to make sure they are staying safe and healthy. She said she’s been asking the key stakeholders, “How are we going to do this safely, and not making compromises that could undermine someone’s health and well-being.”

Aquaman, loot sharks, floods, and a brand new map…there is so much to unpack now that Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 3 is finally here. With a new battle pass, flashy skins, and challenges, we go through the six biggest changes in Fortnite Season 3’s Splashdown update.

Microsoft has posted what appears to be the Xbox Series X’s boot-up sound. If it sounds familiar, that’s because it’s the same startup sound that was featured in an Xbox video from May.

Microsoft shared the new Xbox sound using Twitter’s new voice notes feature. It’s a calming noise, and it’s quite different–and much longer–than the regular Xbox One’s boot-up sound. In a follow-up tweet, the Xbox account said of the startup sound, “It’s like a choir of gaming angels singing in your ears.”

The Xbox Series X is scheduled for release this holiday. There are a number of key particulars about the console still to be unveiled, perhaps the biggest of which is its price. Here at GameSpot, we predicted what we think the console will cost, but Microsoft has yet to make an official announcement.

Minecraft is gearing up for its next major update, the Nether Update, which will add new biomes to the previously rather samey Nether. A release date has been announced, and Minecraft users on Switch, PS4, Xbox One, PC, and mobile will be able to download it from June 23.

This update will also be made available in the Java edition on the same day, if that’s your preference.

The official Minecraft page is bringing up an error message on its Nether page at the time of writing, but Rock Paper Shotgun has all the details. This update adds four new Nether biomes, called Soulsand Valley, Crimson Forest, Warped Forest, and Basalt Deltas. They’ll include new enemies and unique spawn rates depending on where you are.
