Nothing is better than a night of horror movies and board games, especially if both of those hobbies have been combined into an unholy union of dice rolls and familiar franchises. If that sounds like a good time to you, you can keep an eye out for two board games based on classic horror IPs soon: Halloween and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Both of these board games are available to preorder at Amazon and will release on May 8. However, it is worth noting that these games initially released last year, just not at major retailers.

Halloween (1978): Board Game

First up, there’s Halloween: The Board Game. Developed by industry veteran Emerson Matsuuchi and featuring art by Nathan Milliner, this is the first time the original 1978 Halloween movie has been made into its own board game. Like its source material, this game will see Michael Myers hunt down several people, but the plot twist here is that one player will take control of the nigh-unstoppable killer as they prey on their friends.

Everyone else will be looking for a way to escape from Michael, but the task will be made more difficult because Myers can only be seen when he is being looked at on the board. This game is designed for two to four players and each session is expected to last for around an hour.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre: Board Game

Next up is The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Board Game. This board game was created by Scott Rogers, who also designed Alien: Fate of Nostromo and worked as a video game developer on franchises such as God of War and Pac-Man. Two to five players must work together if they want to survive a run-in with Leatherface and his family. All players win or lose as a group in this co-op game where you must pull tokens from a gruesome bag of tricks. This isn’t the first Texas Chain Saw Massacre game, as there’s also another adaptation with a more strategic bent. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Slaughterhouse includes custom sculpted figures, dice, and 140 cards featuring highly detailed art.

For another board game based on an iconic horror franchise, check out this budget-friendly Scream game from Funko Games. Starring the voice of Ghostface himself–through a free downloadable mobile app required to play the game–this portable session of thrills and chills will see you use your wits to outsmart the infamous slasher. This is for players aged 13 and up, and sessions are expected to last around 20 minutes.

For something more traditional, you can also check out Monopoly: House of the Dragon. Hasbro’s new licensed game puts a Westeros spin on its classic board game, and this newly launched $35 edition brings the prequel to the hit TV series to your tabletop.

Nearly nine years ago, Daisy Ridley made her first appearance as Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens before reprising her role in the two sequels that followed. More recently, Ridley signed on to return as Rey in another sequel that will begin a new era for the Jedi. That film will inevitably feature new cast members who will undergo the same life-changing events that Ridley went through she joined the franchise. During a recent interview with Empire, Ridley reflected on how being cast as Rey changed the trajectory of her life.

“There was a lot of love and protection,” said Ridley. “I can’t really remember that well — it was ten years ago. There was a lot of support given, but nothing can really prepare you for what you’re going to go through on an individual level.”

“I think when everything actually happened, I stayed at home and sort of was like, ‘Okay!’ There’s a craziness, and then everything goes away again, which is great,” added Ridley. “For all the people going, ‘Your life is going to change,’ it did in some ways, and then you just go to your mum’s house and you’re like, ‘Okay, this is nice.’ Having such a solid foundation was the absolute best thing for me. Obviously, on a professional scale, things changed, and [in terms of ] anonymity, things change, but only actually really briefly. There were a lot of changes, but also many things stayed the same.”

In a previous excerpt from this interview, Ridley stated that it was an easy decision to return to her role as Rey. She also offered a brief update on where things stand.

“I know the story beats [for Rey’s arc], but other than that, I’m not sure what it’s going to be. But I’m reading a script next month. I’m curious about it all.”

Lucasfilm hasn’t officially set a date for Ridley’s next Star Wars film.

Bungie is making major changes to Destiny 2‘s Power levels, the measure of your character’s strength that dictates how difficult content is, in its upcoming expansion, The Final Shape. The biggest change is a new system called Fireteam Power, which brings everyone in your party up to five levels below whoever’s Power is highest, which should allow anyone to join friends and play just about any content they want. That has an interesting knock-on effect, though: It undoes a move Bungie made four years ago, when it “sunsetted” a bunch of guns by putting an upper limit on their Power stats.

The impact of Fireteam Power

The changes to the Power system are outlined in Bungie’s latest This Week in Destiny blog post, which goes into detail about how the entire system is getting overhauled in The Final Shape. First and foremost, the Fireteam Power system will allow you to play just about any content with your friends, so long as someone in your group has a Power level that’s high enough to play that content. The person in a group with the highest Power level becomes the Power Leader, and everyone else gets their Power brought up to five levels under the leader’s level, if their Power isn’t already the same or higher. So if your Power level is 1950 and you’re playing with someone at 2000 Power, when you go into an activity, your Power level will jump up to 1995 for that activity.

The idea here is to let you play whatever content you want with your friends, even if you’re new to the game or haven’t been playing Destiny 2 for years. Fireteam Power won’t change the rewards you get–you’ll still receive weapons and armor that are near your actual Power level, not the adjusted Fireteam Power level. And if you want to play tougher content without some high-level person to boost you, you’ll still need to climb the Power ranks as normal by earning rewards from different activities and increasing the Power levels of your gear. But the change removes any limitations that might keep low-level players from joining up with their high-level friends.

Bungie also acknowledges in the post that since Fireteam Power raises your Power level regardless of the Power on your actual weapons and armor, it would allow players to get around the fact that some older weapons have upper limits on their Power. Bungie put those limits on guns that were released before the Beyond Light expansion in a move players dubbed “gunsetting.” It meant those guns were effectively too weak to use in most future content and rendered them obsolete. That made a lot of people upset, however, since many of the deprecated weapons were fan-favorites that were extremely hard to earn, like The Mountaintop and Luna’s Howl.

Undoing gunsetting

So four years later, Bungie is undoing gunsetting altogether by removing the Power limits on legacy weapons. That means if you still have old versions of weapons like Luna’s Howl or any of the Black Armory weapons, you’ll be able to use them again in The Final Shape.

However, since it’s been so long, Bungie acknowledges that most players who’ve been around long enough to have those old Legacy guns have probably deleted them by now. Several–Luna’s Howl, The Mountaintop, The Recluse, Blast Furnace, and Hammerhead among them–are already back in the game (or soon will be) in new versions as part of the Brave Arsenal, a slate of reworked legacy weapons Bungie released with the Into the Light content drop launched a few weeks ago. “Most or all” of the other deprecated legacy weapons are also coming back to the game, Bungie says.

“We understand that many old Power limited items have been dismantled by this point, and we regret that we have no recovery mechanism for these,” Bungie wrote. “Going forward, we intend to reintroduce sources for most or all of these, updated to modern Destiny sandbox standards with added properties such as Origin Traits and build-crafting perks (as we have started to do with the BRAVE arsenal in Destiny 2: Into the Light).”

More welcome Power changes

Other changes to Power in The Final Shape are geared toward making it easier to understand what sort of difficulty you’re facing in any given activity. First, Bungie is lowering the Power level caps for all activities so that, generally, it’ll take less grinding to reach the upper Power bands that let you take on the toughest activities. You’ll only need to climb 40 Power levels through The Final Shape, which should be doable by playing through its story campaign, to hit the Powerful level cap at 1940. From there, it’s another 50 levels to the Pinnacle cap at 1990, and 10 more to the hard Power cap for gear at 2000. You’ll climb from there as normal using Artifact power, which is done by playing the game and earning experience points, but will reset with each of Destiny 2’s three “episodes” releasing in the year after The Final Shape.

It’ll also be easier to level up multiple characters going forward. Leveling has always been annoying for anyone who wants to play more than one character in Destiny 2, often requiring convoluted schemes of passing high-level equipment back and forth between each one. Bungie has streamlined that process over the years, but in The Final Shape, you’ll have an Account Power level that takes your best gear into account automatically. That means that after leveling up one character, if you jump to another low-level character, you’ll instantly get drops in line with the higher character’s level–drastically cutting down on the Power grind.

Finally, Bungie is changing the interface for activities to make it clearer what Power levels they require and how difficult they’ll be. Activities are now grouped into two sets: Power Disabled, in which the experience is the same regardless of how high or low your Power level is, and Power Enabled, where the strength of your gear determines the difficulty of the activity. However, Power Enabled activities will still have a cap so you can’t drastically outlevel the content to make it super easy.

The Final Shape is also doing away with the old names for activity difficulties, like “Legendary,” in favor of a more straightforward convention. Power Disabled activities include things like the regular Crucible and Gambit activities. Enabled activities are grouped into new difficulty tiers:

• Standard (Power Cap: 1945): Vanguard Ops, Seasonal activities, Exotic missions, raids, and dungeons
• Advanced (previously Hero, Power Cap: 1995): Nightfalls
• Expert (previously Legend, Power Cap: 2005): Nightfalls, Lost Sectors, Seasonal activities, Exotic missions
• Master (Power Cap: 2010): Nightfalls, Lost Sectors, raids, and dungeons
• Grandmaster (Power Cap: 2020): Nightfalls

All those changes sound like they’ll go a long way to making it a little easier to level up your character quickly, jump into content with friends, and understand how difficult what you’re about to face will be when you get there. However, there’s no real salve for having deleted all your favorite pre-Beyond Light guns, except maybe that Bungie says it’ll bring them back eventually. We’ll have to wait and see exactly what forms those take.

Earlier today, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted to reinstate net neutrality. Taking place during an April Open Meeting, commissioner Anna M. Gomez voted in favor of restoring federal oversight of broadband internet access service under Title II of the Communications Act. According to a press release, the aim is to ensure the resource is open, safe, and secure for all moving forward.

“Broadband access to the Internet is a critical conduit that is essential for modern life,” said Gomez in the press release. “Protecting this critical infrastructure that is essential to the safety, economy, health, education, and well-being of this country is good public policy. The value is so great that we cannot wait for the flood to arrive before we start to build the levee.”

In essence, the idea of net neutrality is that internet service providers (ISPs) should not be allowed to discriminate by offering paid prioritization for different internet traffic sources, discriminating different types of content by blocking or throttling traffic, and so on. This was first established by the FCC in 2015, and then reversed during the Trump administration in 2017.

In another press release, FCC chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel notes five use cases of protections that net neutrality promises to ensure. These include preventing ISPs from blocking traffic, slowing down content or creating pay-to-play internet fast lanes, providing oversight of broadband outages, and authority to direct foreign-owned companies deemed to be national security threats to discontinue any domestic or international broadband services.

In terms of speech, the FCC noted that it “has no authority to, and no interesting in, policing online speech,” and that the open internet protections will prevent ISPs from doing so. As for “Big Tech,” FCC deemed it as an important but unrelated policy challenge. “Net neutrality is important so that the small and medium-sized companies that are trying to compete with more established companies have a level playing field, and net neutrality would ensure that ‘Big Tech’ can’t just cut a deal with a broadband provider to favor its products over upstart competitors,” the press release read.

One of the several new side quests to take on in Fallout 4 with the next-gen update is called “Speak of the Devil.” This quest has you following after a man’s journey to find a mysterious character called The Devil, who supposedly swoops in to help those in need after a specific radio station is turned on. It so happens that The Devil is wearing a set of rare Power Armor, called X-02, and plenty of people are after it.

To ensure you get to the X-02 Power Armor first in Fallout 4, follow our guide below to complete the Speak of the Devil quest. For more on the new quests in Fallout 4, use our Echoes of the Past quest walkthrough.

Starting Speak of the Devil in Fallout 4

If you have a leveled-up character in Fallout 4, the Speak of the Devil quest should automatically be added to your quest log after downloading the next-gen update. However, if you’re on a new save, then you have to wait until reaching a certain point in the story before you can begin Speak of the Devil or any of the other new quests.

Speak of the Devil begins at Wattz Electronics store, which is located in the middle of the map. Here, you can enter the front door and walk across the broken floor over to a small table with a radio on it. Pick up Connie’s Note and play the Black Devil Vol 1. holotape that’s lying on top of it. The holotape describes some of the backstory of The Devil, and how they save innocent people when someone tunes in to a specific radio station. Reading these items starts the Speak of the Devil quest.

Following Connie’s journey

After reading the holotape and Connie’s note, a new quest marker appears on your map that leads to Relay Tower 0MC-810. Be careful when approaching this location, as there are raiders and a Deathclaw waiting for you. Once the enemies have been dealt with, head into the red-gated area of the tower and read Richie’s Note on the dead body in front of the terminal, and pick up the AM 810 holotape. Then, you need to access the terminal and extend the satellites.

Once the satellites are fully extended, head back into the terminal and insert the AM 810 holotape. With it inserted, tune the radio to play “Stars and Stripes Forever.” This makes a new radio signal appear and a new quest marker on your map, leading to the BADTFL Regional Offices. This is located right near Wattz Electronics, so fast travel back there and head over to the quest marker.

Inside BADTFL, battle through the raiders until you reach the back interrogation room, where you find Connie’s body sitting on a table. Loot Connie’s body and read the note she left on the table, which reads “Check the Wall.” You can also loot the FM 52.7 holotape on the table. This holotape is encrypted, so you’ll need to find the password to it or hack in. This is done by playing the holotape on your Pip-Boy and then looking at the available options.

If you have a Hacker +3 stat, you can break in with no problem. However, if you don’t, you need to guess the password from the generated list or find it. Connie’s clue of “Check the Wall” does offer the password, but I can just tell you the right password too:

• [e_di@bl0*p7z+rk4CkzEsx@iene

This password is near the top of the list and when you click on it, you’ll gain access to the holotape’s data. After unlocking the holotape, a new quest marker appears on your map at the Relay Tower OSC-527. Here, access the terminal, load the FM 52.7 holotape, and then transfer the “America the Beautiful” file onto the terminal. You’ll hear the famous song play and get your final quest marker at the Boston Police Rationing Site.

Getting the X-02 Power Armor

At the Boston Police Rationing Site, you need to break into the building and go through the underground tunnel. The front door to the building is barred shut, but you can throw a grenade at the door to unlock it. You can also get on the roof with a Power Armor jump, but the explosive route is easier.

Go through the tunnel entrance and then keep heading forward until you see a radio in front of a locked door with a set of Power Armor behind it. Activate the radio to unlock the door, and you’ll have access to the X-02 Power Armor. You can also read the terminal behind the Power Armor to learn about the true intentions of The Devil character.

It’s here where you can make a choice: Short-circuit the radio transmission, effectively killing The Devil’s character, or restore the Enclave Radio, making a new radio station available. If you end the transmission, you can unlock a nearby wall safe with some loot. Activating the radio station will lock that safe for good.

Regardless of your choice, after getting into the X-02 Power Armor, a Sgt. Hodges and other enemies show up. Kill them to complete the Speak of the Devil quest in Fallout 4.

One of the new weapons that arrived with the next-generation update in Fallout 4 is the Tesla Cannon, a powerful Fusion Cell gun that shocks any enemy unfortunate enough to get in its way. The primary way to get the Tesla Cannon is by completing the quest called “Best of Three,” which is part of the next-generation update. However, there’s an additional and much easier way to get the Tesla Cannon as well.

You can see both ways of acquiring the weapon in the guide below.

Getting the Tesla Cannon in Fallout 4

The Tesla Cannon is a highly sought-after weapon on which the Enclave faction has its sights. This is made evident in the quest Echoes of the Past, which is also part of the new update. In that quest, you can read a terminal entry that details the Enclave’s current efforts to find the Tesla Cannon. We have a full walkthrough of the Echoes of the Past quest, which you might want to start sooner rather than later.

If you’re on a leveled-up character in Fallout 4, both the Best of Three and Echoes of the Past quests should automatically be added to your quest log. However, new characters must wait until a certain point in the story to start the quests. Both quests offer a way to get the Tesla Cannon, and you can see how to get the weapon in either quest below.

Completing Best of Three

First up, we have the dedicated quest that concludes with you acquiring the Tesla Cannon. Best of Three begins by tuning to the Vault-Tec Distress Signal in the Radio section of your Pip-Boy. Once you’ve listened to it, you’ll see a new quest marker that’s near the Glowing Sea appear on your map.

After reaching the quest marker’s destination, you’ll find a dead Gunner slumped up against a tree. Loot the Gunner’s body to pick up the Gunner Holotape, which you can play to learn more about what happened to them. To quickly sum it up, the Gunner was part of a team that learned how to infiltrate an encrypted part of the Pip-Boys, giving them the locations of different vaults in the area. This particular Gunner was a prankster who picked on another man named Caroni when they were stationed at Vault 95.

Once you’re done reading the holotape, you learn of new coordinates from another distress signal further into the Glowing Sea. These new coordinates come from another dead Gunner who’s lying dead on the ground floor of a church. The church is overrun with ghouls, but after defeating them, you can make your way over to the dead Gunner. When you hover over the body, you’ll see a new option appear next to “Take” and “Transfer,” which is “Download Pip-Boy Data.” Press the button next to that option to read what’s on the Gunner’s Pip-Boy.

Read what’s on the Pip-Boy, and then go to the next quest marker on your map. You’ll be taken to Relay Tower 0DB-621, where you can download more data off the body of a dead Gunner.

Reading the only accessible entry on the Pip-Boy reveals the Gunners were trying to acquire a pre-war weapon called the Tesla Cannon. Eventually, they could find it, but a war broke out over who would get to wield it. This soon led to many of the Gunners being killed by the creatures of the Glowing Sea. However, a few men survived, one of whom was Caroni.

The holotape also lets you access a new radio station called the “Gunner Signal Remnant.” Tune into the station and move in the direction the signal takes you by following the beeps and percentages in the top-left corner. You’re trying to reach 100% on the signal. To make things easier, you want to head west, where you’ll run into a Deathclaw and find the remnants of a plane crash. Inside the plane is another dead body, which is where the signal leads. You learn Caroni killed his squad using the Tesla Cannon, and now you need to finish the job.

After reading the data, Caroni appears out of nowhere, wielding the Tesla Cannon. Defeat him and loot the Tesla Cannon off his body. This completes the Best of Three quest in Fallout 4.

Going through Echoes of the Past

If you want to obtain the Tesla Cannon more simply, follow the questline in Echoes of the Past. Eventually, you’ll enter the Glowing Sea and find an office building the Enclave has set up as a base. When you arrive, a soldier wearing Power Armor on the roof starts shooting at you with a Tesla Cannon.

All you have to do is defeat this soldier and loot the Tesla Cannon wherever it falls. In my case, the Tesla Cannon fell to the ground before me, so I didn’t have to move much, but you might have to go to the roof to get the weapon.

This is a much easier way to get the Tesla Cannon, but you miss out on the Best of Three quest if you only take this route. Either way, you now have a Tesla Cannon to use in Fallout 4.

Capcom is delisting some of its most underrated games soon, namely ones from the Dark Void series.

According to Steam, the games Dark Void, Dark Void Zero, and Flock will be removed from the storefront on May 8. The reasoning behind the delisting is currently unclear, as well as if the removal will also extend to PSN Store and Xbox Live Marketplace.

Dark Void was released in 2010 for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. The story is set before World War II and follows a cargo pilot named William Augustus Grey. As he is traveling through the Bermuda Triangle, he gets transported to another world called the Void. He joins a group called the Survivors as they battle an alien race called the Watchers, all the while trying to find a way back home.

Dark Void Zero was released in 2010 as well for PC, DSIWare, and iOS. It’s a parody game of Dark Void that started as a joke inside Capcom, but was eventually made into a real title. Flock is a puzzle game that was released in 2009 for PC, PS3 and Xbox Live Arcade.

Capcom also delisted Age of Booty, a pirate strategy game, last month from the Xbox Live Marketplace, as well as several older Devil May Cry games on Steam back in February.

Manor Lords, a highly anticipated medieval strategy game, releases on April 26, but developer Hooded Horse still has not announced the game’s price point. Why is that? Tim Bender, the CEO of publisher Hooded Horse, provided an answer in a post on Reddit recently (via Kotaku).

Bender said Manor Lords, like other Steam games before it, will have regional price points as part of the game’s worldwide distribution. Because of this, Hooded Horse shied away from revealing the game’s price prior to launch.
