You guys might recall that a little over a week ago, we reported that a gamer going by the handle ftb_hodor managed to catch all 142 Pokemon in the US. Now it looks like his efforts are being rewarded because a report from Business Insider has revealed that the gamer, who goes by the name Nick Johnson in real-life, will be given a free trip around the world to catch Pokemon.

Now Pokemon fans will know that 142 isn’t the complete list of Pokemon, at least not as far as the classic game is concerned. In reality there are 151 Pokemon, but as far as the US is concerned, Johnson has managed to capture all that he can, which is why he will be sponsored by Marriott Rewards and Expedia to fly around the world to catch region-exclusive Pokemon.

Johnson and his girlfriend will be flown to Paris first where he will attempt to locate and catch Mr. Mime. He will later be sent to Hong Kong where he will try to capture Farfetch’d, and then he will be flying to Sydney, Australia where he will catch Kangaskhan. His last stop will be in Japan for a little R&R. Johnson stated that he will rely on each country’s Pokemon community to help point him in the right direction.

Speaking to Business Insider, Johnson says, “I will be scouring Reddit on my flight over and have a battle plan by the time I get there. I will travel across the land, searching far and wide. Basically.”

No Man’s Sky has been set for a release on the 9th of August, and the 12th of August for gamers on PC. This means that gamers have about 1-2 weeks of waiting to do before they can officially get their hands on the game. However it seems that one gamer decided that he did not want to wait, and has reportedly paid $1,300 for a leaked copy of the game.

According to the gamer who goes by the handle “daymeeuhn” on Reddit, he claims that he found a leaked copy of the game being sold on eBay where he paid $1,250 for it, with an extra $50+ for shipping. To prove that the leak was real, he even recorded a video of him opening the package and installing it on his PS4.

Unsurprisingly the folks at Hello Games weren’t too happy about this and have since taken to Twitter to warn gamers not to watch the footage as it does contain spoilers. “We’ve spent years filling No Man’s Sky with surprises. You’ve spent years waiting. Please don’t spoil it for yourself :(“ However for those who absolutely have to see what the game is about, daymeeuhn has uploaded the footage onto DailyMotion, but don’t say we didn’t warn you!

As for his justification for paying so much for a game that is going to be released soon, he says, “I’m a lucky guy. I’ve done well for myself. I have disposable income and I’m happy in life. I’m in a state of being where I don’t look at a purchase and determine the overall value by the price tag, but rather by how much happiness it will bring myself or the people I care about.”

Earlier this month Blizzard unveiled two new heroes for Heroes of the Storm. Warcraft’s Gul’dan was one of them, and the other is Auriel from Diablo 3 where she is one of the archangels from the Diablo universe. For those interested in playing a support hero, Auriel will be the latest one added to the game, and she has been set for a release on the 8th of August.

Gamers who have access to the Public Test Realm will be able to take her for a spin next week before her public release, but if you’d rather not spoil it for yourself, then maybe you should wait. Like we said, Auriel will be a support hero and will be capable of healing her allies. She will come with healing skills like Ray of Hope, and Heroic Abilities such as Crystal Aegis and Resurrect.

According to Blizzard’s description, “It is through the Archangel Auriel that the power of hope flows into the fabric of creation. Her eternal light illuminates even the darkest souls. Seeking harmony in all things, she is a mediator, a counselor, and when the need arises, a fearless warrior.“

She will also come with damaging abilities, but her role as support means that you probably shouldn’t expect to deal too much damage, at least not compared to heroes with the Assassin trait. In the meantime you can check Auriel out in action in the video trailer above.

While Sony’s mobile division is exactly doing very well at the moment, it shouldn’t really bother the company because it looks like the company’s gaming division is doing quite well. According to the latest numbers from Sony, the company has revealed that they have managed to ship 43.5 million units of the PS4 to retailers to date.

Note that these are units shipped to retailers, which means that not all 43.5 million units have been sold. However given that last we heard back in April that Sony had sold 40 million PS4 consoles, we guess it’s safe to assume that the number of units shipped is pretty close to the number of units sold.

According to Sony, the company believes that they will be able to sell an additional 20 million PS4 units through the end of the company’s 2016 fiscal year. With 3.5 million units sold, this means that the company plans on selling an additional 16.5 million from now until the 30th of March. With the holiday season at the end of the year, it is possible that Sony could hit their goal.

However we should also remind you that Sony has a newer PS4 in the works codenamed “Neo”. With gamers knowing about this, it is possible that some gamers will hold back from purchasing a PS4 now if they know that a newer and better model is on its way, but we guess we’ll have to wait and see Sony’s new numbers to determine if the announcement of the Neo would have impacted their predictions.

We should all spend more time outside, but unless we’re prompted by Pokemon GO, good luck getting us to go anywhere. If you do start to venture out into the sun’s rays more often, you need to give your skin proper protection from the sun. While sunscreen will certainly help, different skin types have differing sensitivities to UV exposure, and it’s hard to tell when you’ve gotten enough sun for the day.

While gadgets like the Sunscreenr will help you make sure you’ve hit all the right spots with sunscreen, the SunFriend will tell you when you’ve had enough UV exposure in general. This bracelet will help make sure you’re getting enough Vitamin D without overdoing it on UV exposure. Since it is very likely to be used in or near water, it is waterproof down to 3 meters, and you don’t have to worry about it connecting to your phone to tell you anything important.

When you’re gallivanting out in the sunshine, you’ll want to pay attention to whether or not the LEDs are all lit up. Should they all be screaming at you with their tiny flashing lights, you’ll know it’s time to call it a day on the sun exposure. You’ll have to pick the proper sensitivity, and if you still get burned that likely means your picked the wrong one. There are color choices of black, citrus orange, grey, ocean blue, or spring green, but it all depends on what you want sitting on your wrist. For whatever reason, you’ll also have to make that decision in a price range of $16-45 depending on the color you choose.
