‘Plants Vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville’ Trademark Filed by EA
Electronic Arts has trademarked ‘Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville’ in Europe, according to Gematsu.
EA has yet to make any official announcement of the game, but the company has recently begun a closed testing period of the already-confirmed Plants vs. Zombies shooter “Codename Picnic” on PS4 and Xbox One.
Neighborville is the name of the series’ setting, where the titular plants and undead tend to do all their battling. A leak on Reddit last month suggested that there won’t be any story element, and that the game will instead focus on more traditional games-as-a-service trappings, including 20 customizable character classes, a social hub region, three free-roam regions, nine PvP modes (including a 4v4 arena mode), and more.
WWE SummerSlam: Live Blog and Match Results
It’s WWE’s Largest Shindig of the Sun Season!
A hobbled, injured Seth Rollins will collide with Brock Lesnar; “Queen of Queens” Trish Stratus will face down “Queen of Any Era” Charlotte Flair; Kofi Kingston will look across from Randy Orton, hopefully achieving a measure of revenge for Orton’s wayback backstage politics BS; and Becky Lynch will defend her strap against Natalya, who may arrive with the support of all of Canada behind her.
Pretty exciting but…doesn’t this SummerSlam still feel a bit slight to you? Right up front, on paper? Isn’t this supposed to be a seven-hour monstrosity like WrestleMania? Right now there are fewer matches on the docket than listed for Extreme Rules and it’s supposed to run longer.
Ninja Says Twitch Promoted a ‘Porn Account’ on His Old Twitch Page
Ninja, the streamer who recently shook the streaming industry with his decision to leave Twitch and work exclusively with Microsoft’s Mixer, has accused Twitch of promoting a “porn account” on his old page.
Ninja took to Twitter to air his grievances in a video posted on Sunday, with the text “Disgusted and so sorry.”

WWE Summerslam: Live Updates And Results For The 2019 PPV
Today is the day. It’s the biggest event of the summer for WWE. Summerslam is kicking off at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario as we speak. Over the course of the evening, WWE’s biggest superstars will face each other in the ring in what should be a fantastic evening of wrestling.
There are a couple ways to watch this event. You can order the PPV through your local cable or satellite provider. Or you can head over to the WWE Network, and if you’re a new subscriber, you can get one month for free and cancel at any time. If you’d like to continue using the network, it’ll cost you $10 a month.
Depending on where you live in the world, Summerslam either airs at a normal time or in the middle of the night–sorry, England. Check out the start times for a few time zones below. Why is the Central Time Zone listed? Because I live there, and Chicagoland needs more representation.
Summerslam Start Times:
- 4PM PT
- 6 PM C
- 7 PM ET
- 12 AM BST (August 12)
- 9 AM AEST (August 12)
There are 10 matches on the card for the evening, and not every single match is a for a championship, which is very refreshing. There are a couple of storylines that didn’t make it onto the Summerslam card, primarily the conclusion to Roman Reigns’ trying to find out who attacked him. Rowan was revealed as the potential attacker, so expect a followup to that development. Below, you can check out the full card for yourself, but don’t expect these matches to take place in this order.
Summerslam Match Card:
- Drew Gulak (c) vs. Oney Lorcan (Cruiserweight Championship)
- Goldberg vs. Dolph Ziggler
- Trish Stratus vs. Charlotte Flair
- AJ Styles (c) vs. Ricochet (United States Championship)
- Finn Bálor vs. “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt
- Kevin Owens vs. Shane McMahon (If Owens loses, he quits)
- Bayley (c) vs. Ember Moon (Smackdown Women’s Championship)
- Kofi Kingston (c) vs. Randy Orton (WWE Championship)
- Becky Lynch (c) vs. Natalya (Submission Match for the Raw Women’s Championship)
- Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Seth Rollins (Universal Championship)
Kickoff Show
The Kickoff Show will begin two prior to the main card, so overall, this is going to be a long PPV. Check out the start times for the preshow below:
Summerslam Kickoff Show Start Times:
- 2 PM PT
- 4 PM C
- 5 PM ET
- 10 PM BST
- 7 AM AEST (August 12)
Traditionally, Summerslam’s Kickoff has two matches, but at the time of this writing, no matches have been booked for the Kickoff, but we’ll be updating this section as new things are announced for the evening, as well as doing the live results below.
Kickoff Show Notes:
Right before the Kickoff Show began, three matches were added to the preshow card. Here they are.
- Drew Gulak (c) vs. Oney Lorcan (Cruiserweight Championship)
- Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross (c) vs. The IIconics (Women’s Tag Team Championship)
- Apollo Crews vs. Buddy Murphy
Match times are every bout may be approximate as the new WWE Network app is extremely problematic and has major issues live streaming the event.

Steam Workshop Submissions Now Require Moderator Approval
With little warning or fanfare, Valve has implemented a new policy on Steam Workshop, the platform’s hub for user-made mods, that requires any new submission must first be approved by a moderator.
First sighted by Reddit user r/TanookiSuit3 on the CS:GO subreddit, and reported by PCGamesN, an image captured by TanookiSuit3 shows a new banner on Steam Workshop over a new submission.
