  Fortnite Now Has Alien Invasions, Rick and Morty, and More

  
  The aliens aren't coming, they're already here.
  
  Fortnite lore is weird. Yes, the battle royale game does have lore and a lot of it. The latest story beat kicked off today with Chapter 2 Season 7. The latest season is entitled "INVASION" and yes, it involves aliens. It also includes a Rick and Morty crossover as well? There's probably more but it's hard to keep up with all of it.

  GoldenEye Maps Recreated Fully in Far Cry 5

  It took Krollywood over two and a half years to finish.
  
  Though I have never used it myself, I have heard that the level editor for Far Cry 5 allows for some rather detailed creations. And while 1997's GoldenEye probably isn't the most detailed of games by today's standards, it's still mighty damn impressive that someone took the time to faithfully recreate the game's 18 maps, minus the two bonus levels.
  
  YouTube creator "Krollywood" spent the better part of the...

  Mysterious Battlefield Teaser Sent to Content Creators

  Huh... 3600 hours isn't a typical military time.
  
  Throughout the day, a handful of Battlefield-adjacent content creators were sent mysterious messages through their Twitter DMs. They were sent from the official Battlefield account to people like Lirik, Jackfrags, Westie, and DustelBox.
  
  On their own their message is disjointed and incomplete. When put together they paint a picture of a fallen nation, or species, caught up in a war they had no choice but to join. It's weird...
