Long day yesterday, I almost overslept. Here’s the news.

  • Captain Spirit is Available
  • Fallout 76’s Country Roads for Charity
  • Nintendo Adds Mario Kart Support for Labo
The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit


If you tuned in to this year’s E3, you may have heard about Captain Spirit. The demo game follows 9-year-old Chris and his endless imagination, taking place in the Life is Strange universe. The single chapter game is not available on Steam. Your decisions in this will reportedly have an impact on when you play Life is Strange 2.

Fallout for Charity


When Fallout 76 was announced, it was to the tune of John Denver’s Country Roads. Since then, the cover has become the flagship tune for the game. Now Bethesda is taking the revitalized passion further. On July 4 (yep, Independence day), they will be releasing the cover on iTunes, where all the proceeds will be going to Habitat for Humanity. They’ve won my patronage, for sure. You can hear a segment of the song in the Fallout 76 E3 trailer.

Mario Kart Labo


Don’t you wish you could play Mario Kart with cardboard? Will if you own the Nintendo Labo, then you can! Nintendo recently announced that Mario Kart 8 for Nintendo Switch will support the Toy-Con Motorbike build from the Labo Variety Pack. Simply select the Labo option in the game menu. Up to 4 people can play this way, though each will need their own joycons and Labo builds.

Neat news day, let’s keep it up! Tune in tomorrow for the latest video game news. Or don’t, I’m not your keeper. Anyways, have a great day!

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!

In daily update, News

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!
