Elden Ring's Radahn Boss Gets Un-Nerfed in Latest Patch
A new update includes just one change but it's a big one for those who hate nerfs.
A small update was released earlier today for Elden Ring. This April 4 patch is available for all platforms that the game is currently available on. Though small in size, this patch has some big repercussions for players who have not yet defeated one of the game's main boss encounters.
Back when Elden Ring's patch 1.03 came out, it included a number of little adjustments to the game. Some... -

Paramount+ just released the first episode of the Halo TV series for free on YouTube. This freebie will be yours to watch for a limited time before being removed on April 7. Oh, you also have to be in a region where Paramount+ is available in order to watch it on YouTube.

Twitch Disables Paid Channel Boosts Due to Pornography
Twitch being horny on main.
Late last year, Twitch began to test a system that would allow viewers to pay real money to boost a streamer's channel to Twitch's main page. This would perhaps give the streamer some added exposure and help their channel grow. It was also obviously an easy way for Twitch (ie: Amazon) to pull in even more money.
Today, that grand experiment came to a predictable end. Viewers were using this boost feature to push channels to the main page of... -

E3 2022 is Fully Cancelled
Oh no, what will we ever do?
The in-person event for E3 was already cancelled a while back for 2022. The potential was still lingering in the air that a digital event would be held again, as it was in 2021. Thankfully, someone opened up a window and that lingering rumor finally dissipated.
E3 2022 is cancelled in every regard. There is no in-person event. There is no digital event. It's done. It's gone. It's outta here. Goodbye, E3.

Both Microsoft and Sony revealed the free games that are coming included in your ongoing subscriptions to both Xbox Live Gold (and Game Pass Ultimate) and PlayStation Plus for April 2022.
Both platforms are offering up vastly different freebies this month. I'd personally say that the real standout here is Slay the Spire, which will be included in your PlayStation Plus subscription. It's a unique blend of... -

Xbox Backtracks on Sharing Media to Twitter Removal
The complaints have been heard.
Some weeks back, newer Insider builds for the Xbox consoles removed the ability to share screenshots and clips directly to Twitter. The only way you would be able to post to Twitter, would have been to first upload the screenshots to the Xbox app on your phone and then send out the Tweets from that.
Why was this feature removed in the first place? It's not really clear. All that was clear was that users were not happy about this change.... -

by Shawn ZipayGet that Premium Edition and play three days early!
Looks like the latest growing trend with game releases is to offer a more expensive Premium or Gold or whatever edition that grants you access to a game a few days ahead of its official release.
Starfield did it with their $99.99 (USD) Premium Edition. Today, Payday 3 is doing an "Early Access" release with their Silver and Gold editions. Diablo 4 did the same thing earlier in the year, as did Madden NFL 24,...I don't mind. If people want to spend more to play early, let them!33.33%1I'm indifferent to the whole idea.33.33%1I think it's kind of dumb that people get to play earlier.
