Are fidget spinners the new ‘hoverboard?’ Such may be the case after one family reports that their son’s Bluetooth fidget spinner caught fire and exploded while charging, raising concerns about the quality of these battery-equipped models. Unlike ordinary fidget spinners, which operate using bearings and little else, a Bluetooth fidget spinner is a bit more modern, packing in connectivity to … Continue reading

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, for those unfamiliar, is basically Mario Kart 8, except that it has been designed for the Nintendo Switch. It will come with all the DLCs from the previous Mario Kart 8, which means that in terms of characters, karts, and other customization options, there are plenty to choose from.

However if you’re someone who enjoys using their Mii character to play in the game, you might be interested to learn that the latest update to the game will introduce a new Pikmin suit for your Mii avatar. The latest update will bump Mario Kart 8 Deluxe up to version 1.2 and will bring about the new costume, although unfortunately it seems that you will require a Pikmin-themed amiibo to unlock it.

In addition to the new costume, the update will also bring about some slight changes to the game. One of those changes include, ”Race rules and course name are now displayed on loading screens for online and wireless play, as well as Mario Kart TV.” It will also see players who are behind in online matches standing a higher chance of receiving items that will allow them to catch up.

Another bug that has been fixed is the communication error that will no longer occur frequently during spectating of online games, so if you haven’t updated your Mario Kart 8 Deluxe yet, you should probably go ahead and do so.

Earlier this year, EA confirmed that they will be releasing Star Wars Battlefront 2, given that the first title was somewhat of a success, it makes sense that they’re following up with a new title. Not to mention with the release of the Star Wars movie at the end of the year, safe to say that the Star Wars hype is still very much happening.

That being said, it seems that EA has started to send out invites to a closed alpha of the game. This is according to posts on NeoGAF in which users are confirming that they have received emails from EA informing them that they can participate in them. We are not sure how gamers are chosen, whether it’s because they have played other EA games before, or if they’ve pre-ordered the game, or if they’re part of some kind of list, but basically it looks like the closed alpha is kicking off on the 29th of June.

It does not appear to have an end date, according to gamers, but last we heard, EA confirmed that the game would be getting a beta as well, so if you’re not part of the closed alpha, perhaps you could try your luck for the beta. That being said with it being in alpha stage, it means that there is still quite a bit of work left to be done.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 is currently scheduled to be released later this year on the 17th of November.

Soon enough we will be treated to season 7 of HBO’s Game of Thrones. This is the second last season and from what we have seen in the trailers, things are about to get much more exciting than we thought possible. Paths are about to cross, and wars are about to start, and it makes for excellent television.

However the fate of the final season is still hanging in the balance. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Game of Thrones showrunner David Benioff revealed that they had still yet to decide when the season will air. We had recently heard that the season could be delayed, and this recent interview at the very least confirms that no date has been set.

Prior to this, it was almost a guarantee that we would get a new Game of Thrones season in April, and season 7 actually marks the first time that a season has been delayed. According to Benioff when asked if we will see it in either 2018 or 2019, he replied by saying, “We honestly don’t know yet. There’s been a lot of back and forth about air dates. That’s a long way off from being settled.”

However the good news is that as far as the writing is concerned, Dan Weiss revealed that they were almost done. Of course there still needs to be some polishing, but at least things appear to be chugging along nicely. In the meantime season 7 has been set for a release on the 7th of July, so mark your calendars!
