Wednesday! It’s been a rough week. Here’s the news:

  • ARMS getting another update soon
  • Life is Strange: Before the Storm finished
  • PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds official release
  • Steam Community is blocked in China

ARMS Update 5.0
A new trailer was posted recently announcing that ARMS will be receiving yet another update. The trailer focused on teasing some metal woman with green hair. The big news about it: It’s coming out this year. We have only 10 more days until its no longer 2017, and at some point between then and now, this update will release.

Life is Strange: Before the Storm
The 3rd episode of the second Life is Strange game has been released, and with it comes the conclusion of the game’s series. It also comes with a special edition that contains a bonus episode. A trailer was released announcing all this, which can be seen here.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds version 1.0
The official release of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds version 1.0 has been released. The update will include a new game map, a new replay feature, and some bug fixes and other improvements. Congrats to one of the biggest games of the year.

Steam Community Blocked in China
According to Greatfire.org, a website dedicated to the censorship of the internet in China, the steam community URLs are being blocked entirely. Chinese users cannot participate in any community interaction. They can still purchase and play Steam games, at least.


I’m sorry for my lack of consistency as of late. I’ve had to focus on work more lately, and my personal site has been put on the sidelines due to that. This will possibly continue until the new year. The holidays are a busy time. Thanks for your patience, have a great night!

Friday 12-1-17: Chloe’s Voice Actor and Kid Buu in FighterZ

Friday! the end of a week, and the first day of the month. I’ve started learning Japanese to help me with journalism. I digress, here’s the news:

  • Chloe’s voice actor returns
  • Kid Buu confirmed for Dragon Ball FighterZ

Life is Strange Voice Actor
Ashly Burch, the original voice actor for Chloe Price returns to the recording booth to reprise her role in Life is Strange. She did not do the voice in Life is Strange: Before the Storm due to the voice actors strike. She did act as a script consultant to stay true to the characters style during this time. Now that the strike has ended she is returning to record vocals for a bonus episode due to release alongside the game’s special edition.

Kid Buu Enters the Ring
The upcoming anime fighting game, Dragon Ball FighterZ, had another character announcement this morning. A youtube video posted by Bandai Namco showed off Kid Buu. This announcement came as little surprise, considering his inclusion was leaked in a Japanese magazine a while back. Regardless, a fun short video confirming his addition to the roster. You can watch the video HERE.


Thanks for reading everyone. I can’t wait to take it a bit easier this weekend, assuming it won’t be filled with more video work. Check back on Monday for the weekends worth of video game news. Otherwise, Have a great weekend!
