Watch The Trailer For Far Cry 5’s Over-The-Top DLC Here

Far Cry 5 launches in a couple of weeks on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. However, well before the full game has launched, Ubisoft has released a trailer teasing future DLC packs–and they look pretty awesome.

In the trailer, Ubisoft specifically calls out Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, the retrofuturistic (and hilarious) expansion to Far Cry 3, as a precursor to Far Cry 5’s expansions. And, at least from the short look at the new DLCs, they all seem just as over-the-top as Blood Dragon.

The first DLC is called Hours of Darkness, and it’ll take players to the Vietnam War. You’ll have to fight against Viet Cong soldiers, fly in helicopters, and meet other American fighters. It all looks very evocative of Rambo and Tropic Thunder.

The next expansion, titled Lost On Mars, tasks you with fighting back against Martian aliens determined to destroy Earth. From the short glimpse in the trailer, you’ll have access to energy weapons and other futuristic equipment.

Finally, the third DLC will be Dead Living Zombies, in which players will fight against waves of the undead in several different scenarios. It’s a co-op mode, so you’ll have to team up to fight against the hordes.

All of these DLC packs are included in Far Cry 5’s season pass, which you can grab for $30. In addition to the expansions, you’ll also get a copy of Far Cry 3: Classic Edition. In addition, all players will get access to Far Cry 5’s level editor, called Arcade, and Live Events following the game’s release.

Far Cry 5 launches on March 27 and aims to balance absurd action with serious themes related to religious extremism. There’s no word yet on when the expansions will be released. For more on the game, check out some of Far Cry 5’s co-op multiplayer gameplay. In addition, you can read about Far Cry 5’s minimum and recommended PC specs here.

Thor: Ragnarok Producer on Asgard and Odin’s Fates

Full spoilers ahead for Thor: Ragnarok!

Ragnarok, in Norse mythology, means the end of all things and, for as much goofy fun as the film is, Thor: Ragnarok indeed ended with the destruction of Asgard. I recently chatted with one of the film’s executive producers, Marvel Studios’ Victoria Alonso, about the decision to destroy Thor’s homeland in an action-comedy rather than a drama.

“We don’t want to destroy any of the realms, but part of the game is that there is destruction,” Alonso said. “And you can’t have Thor: Ragnarok if you don’t have the end of his place of birth. … You have to be true to what you’re saying, right? If you’re saying Thor, the greatest party of all time, and you don’t have the party in your film, then why have that title?”

The Internet Has Declared War Between Pooh and Paddington

The cinematic CGI bear arms race has reached an all-time high, and fans on social media have been furiously debating the merits of Winnie the Pooh vs. Paddington.

The release of the first Christopher Robin trailer, Disney’s latest live-action take on its beloved franchises, sees a new iteration of the honey-loving bear come to life, this time as a CGI companion to a grown-up Christopher (Ewan McGregor).

His arrival, however, sparked an unexpected disturbance — can two CGI bears co-exist peacefully in the modern film landscape? (Ted is, much to probably Seth MacFarlane’s dismay, not in the running for Best Bear.)

Dell Chromebook 3180 Education Edition Review

One of reasons why Google’s Chrome OS is still an active platform is because of the education market. Kids of all ages are able to open a Chromebook, enter their credentials, and all of their data, apps and resources are immediately synced to the laptop. It’s far easier to manage a system that manages itself, then trying to worry about syncing provisioning profiles and ensuring apps are installed, as is often the case with Apple’s iPad lineup. Not to mention, Chromebooks are usually quite affordable.

Netflix’s The Outsider Review

If you ever wake up chained to a death machine, and a mysterious voice says that they will only let you go if you can name every gangster movie cliché ever, you need only think of The Outsider, which premieres on Netflix on March 9th. Martin Zandvliet’s crime drama rattles off every familiar plot point and character type that a fan of the genre could think of, without adding anything particularly interesting to distract you.

But if you’re not planning to square off against “Film Nerd Jigsaw,” The Outsider is a dreary genre exercise, starring Jared Leto (Suicide Squad) as Nick Lowell, an American who enters the world of Japanese organized crime, better known as The Yakuza, in 1954.

Warhammer Vermintide 2 Review in Progress

There are few things quite as satisfying as the feeling of popping a ratman’s head like a grape with a giant war hammer. Or cutting that head clean off with an ax, or possibly unloading a full revolver clip into it, or just burning the whole thing to a crisp. The truth is, just about every one of the multitude of ways Warhammer Vermintide 2 gives you and your co-op team to kill your enemies is punchy, powerful, and a whole lot of fun.

I’ve been playing the pre-order beta of Vermintide 2 for the last week, as well as the closed beta before that, and I’m already enjoying it a lot – though I’m left wondering how long its randomized loot progression and relatively straightforward level design will keep me engaged. I’ve only had access to a total of six missions, so there’s still a whole lot I’ll be trying out in the full game for our final review, but here’s what I think of it so far.

Here’s Who Trump is Meeting to Discuss Violence in Video Games

New details have emerged on the possible attendees of tomorrow’s meeting at the White House between President Trump and members of the video game industry.

According to The Washington Post, Trump has invited CEO of ZeniMax (Bethesda’s parent company) Robert Altman, Chief Executive of Take Two Interactive (Rockstar and 2K’s parent company) Strauss Zelnick, and Michael Gallagher, the leader of the Entertainment Software Association. Trump’s brother Robert Trump serves on the board of directors for Zenimax, and Kotaku recently reported that he too was expected to attend.

Get These 1TB SSDs For Cheap Right Now

It’s highly recommended for a modern gaming PC to come equipped with a solid-state drive as opposed to the older, traditional hard disk drive. Lower boot-up times and faster loading speeds for games offer a tremendous upside, but pricing and overall capacity have been the barriers for systems to run solely on an SSD. Those barriers are lowered with the sale of two different SSDs–one from SanDisk and one from Western Digital (WD).

The 1TB version of the SanDisk Ultra 3D NAND SATA III SSD is currently priced at $230 USD on Amazon, down from its list price which floats around $380 to $400. This drive is your standard 2.5-inch form factor that connects via SATA cable, which can fit into many laptops and nearly all desktops. SanDisk’s Ultra 3D SSD has sequential read speeds of up to 560 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 530 MB/s; this tends to be top-end in terms of SATA SSD speed.

Western Digital’s WD Blue SSD on sale also uses 3D NAND technology for increased capacity, but this particular model is an M.2 2280 SATA III drive. It’s currently $250 on Newegg and Amazon, and is normally priced around $300. Keep in mind that while this is an M.2 drive, it’s still based on the SATA interface and not the faster NVMe interface. But by no means is the WD Blue slow; it can reach sequential read and write speeds of up to 560 MB/s and 530 MB/s, respectively.

If you’re still on a standard HDD and can’t switch to an SSD quite yet, you might want to look into Intel Optane memory to speed up boot and load times. While SSDs are going for a fair price, the same can’t be said about video cards. Thanks to the rise of cryptocurrency mining, video cards have reached over twice their MSRP and are incredibly difficult to find in stock; check out our look at how prices of video cards have risen recently.

Every Character In Avengers: Infinity War Who We Know About So Far

As its May release date marches ever closer, the list of confirmed characters in Avengers: Infinity War just keeps getting longer. It may seem like a superheroic Where’s Waldo, but the reality is we’ve spent years getting hints, teasers, and clues about which characters will appear in Infinity War.

These are all the heroes, villains, and otherwise that we know are in Avengers: Infinity War–so far. Avengers: Infinity War is out May 4 this year.

The Walking Dead Introduces Compelling New Characters

It’s an exciting time to be a Walking Dead reader. The series is again venturing into uncharted waters as Michonne and her friends make first contact with the largest and most advanced colony they’ve encountered since the start of the zombie outbreak. Issue #177 loses some of the series’ recent momentum, but it still offers a compelling taste of the conflicts to come.

As he occasionally does, writer Robert Kirkman takes a more ensemble-minded focus to this issue. The narrative constantly bounces between scenes set at Alexandria, at the Hilltop and at the Commonwealth. That approach allows Kirkman to touch base with a number of characters, both old and new. Unfortunately, this is another case where the constantly shifting narrative gives the book a jumbled quality. The script never settles in with any one group of characters for very long before moving onto the next. The script also suffers from Kirkman’s tendency to overwrite dialogue. Certain conversations could really benefit from being pruned and streamlined in order to create a more natural flow.
