If you’re like me, you spent the weekend longing for the mixed bag that is downtown Los Angeles during E3. I’ve got fond memories of fish tacos, The Last Bookstore, watching playoff basketball in garishly lit hotel lobbies and, of course, video game press conference after video game press conference. For a second year in a row, the show’s gone all virtual, owing to…well, you know, that pesky virus that has defined the past year and a half of our lives. Last year’s show was canceled altogether (though a handful

Legends of Runeterra’s upcoming 2.8.0 patch is bringing the game’s next event, Dark Horizon. The upcoming occasion draws inspiration from the Dark Star and Cosmic skin lines from League of Legends. The Dark Horizon event also mirrors Shurima’s launch in Empires of the Ascended with a full-fledged event pass. Aside from usual conventions, Dark Horizon adds two features never before done in LoR: champion skins and Mega Guardians. For the skins, the four introduced with Dark Horizon are exclusive to LoR and are split into two separate tiers of cosmetics.

The cry to localize Mother 3 is so overdone. Nintendo wants nothing to do with the Earthbound franchise anymore. Even Reggie Fils-Aime is sick of hearing about it. And as of this week, it’s been 15 years since this conversation began.
