Rick and Morty will be playing Fallout 76 later this week. But not alone, no. That wouldn’t be wack enough. Instead, they’ll be playing the game alongside Fortnite streamer Ninja and hip-hop artist Logic.

This is real, not some kind of Clickhole article. Bethesda announced the promotional event on their website as well as the Fallout Twitter account. This Thursday, November 8, at 9 PM ET, the two animated show characters will be playing Bethesda’s upcoming multiplayer RPG with the two aforementioned celebrities.

The event was conceived by eSports Agency Ader, who wanted to create an “immersive experience” where viewers and players could interact with fictional characters from the popular animated TV show, Rick and Morty. It’s not clear HOW this will work exactly. I presume that Justin Roiland (or another voice actor) will be the one voicing the characters.

Fallout 76 is the upcoming multiplayer RPG from Bethesda. The player is one of many who leaves Vault 76 to repopulate a ruined West Virgunia landscape. It’s full of cryptids, mutants, and areas to explore. This is the first time the franchise is coming to a multiplayer format. While some disagree with the direction, others (myself included) love it.

Thursday will also be the final BETA session for the game. Fallout 76 doesn’t actually release until November 14, but the company has been running limited time betta sessions to test and fix any issues. November 6 and 8 will be the final BETA sessions they run before the game’s launch.

The Rick and Morty live stream is scheduled for November 8 at 9 PM Eastern Time, viewable on Mixer and Twitch. Fallout 76 releases on PC, Xbox One, and PS4 on November 14.

Monday 4-9-18: Rick and Morty Comics, Sexy LoL Girl, and the Paul Brothers.

In daily update, News

Another week, another wonk. What is a wonk? Where can I find a wonk of my own? I don’t know. What I do know is the news. Here is that news.

Rick and Morty Comic Book
League of Legends Sexy Girl Problem
Paul Brothers’ Twitch Drama

Dungeon Riiiick

This isn’t actually video game related, but its very video game adjacent. IDW Publishing announced that a Rick and Morty comic book, based in a Dungeons and Dragons themed world, is due for release this August. One of the co-writers is quoted as saying the idea was “some serious you-got-chocolate-in-my-peanut butter $#!& right there.” Make of that what you will.

Riot Games’ Rowdy Girl

The creator of League of Legends recently released a new hero, Kai’Sa. She is covered in a parasitic creature thing that helps her fight, not entirely unlike Bayonetta. Fans were off-put by the deep V-neck style of the alien bodysuit, claiming its overly sexual, and contradicting of the developer’s past statements to not sexualize their characters. Riot responded saying that, while they kinda knew it was a touch scandalous, they had to show off some skin in order for people to be able to see that she was a human in a monster suit, and not simply a monster herself. Of all of the excuses to have a scantily clad woman, this might be the most legitimate one I’ve heard yet. They’re small character models, after all.

The Paul Brothers

Frankly, I don’t much like talking about these guys. I don’t like them. Regardless, I shall cast aside my personal bias in order to bring you the news. This is a two-part news bit, the first is in regards to Jake Paul and Summit1G. Summit is one of the biggest Twitch streamers right now. Earlier this week, he livestreamed a game of Fortnite with controversial YouTuber Jake Paul. Unsurprisingly, many of the members of his community were unhappy with the association and expressed it so. Summit responded defensively, claiming that if they were genuinely upset about him playing with Jake, they weren’t true summit fans. This led to an even stronger uproar, to the point that his next livestream was titled “do not donate or sub. I also will not be reading chat. it’s gonna be awkward.” What did you think was going to happen, man?

The other bit was Sunday, when the other brother, Logan Paul, ran his first Twitch livestream, also playing Fortnite. Almost immediately, his chat was filled with dicks. ASCII art style penises were being spammed by many members of the chat. It became so bad that after a point, his producer could be heard on stream say “There are so many dicks . . . We got spammed so fast.” Logan has since stated that he wants to promote a positive and friendly environment and that once he reaches affiliate status, he will enable subscriber-only chat mode. What interested me was that, given his fame, he likely could have contacted Twitch and requested immediate partner status. I’d be surprised if he wasn’t accepted.

Quite an interesting news week, if I say so myself. I hope you enjoyed our first Guest Article! It was a recounting of The Legend of Zelda Symphony that took place last year in Columbus, Ohio, by guest writer Sara H. Check back tomorrow for another fun news update. Otherwise, have a great night!

Friday 1-19-18: We Happy Few Delays, God of War Season Pass, and Accounting+ VR

I’m sorry for disappearing all week. More on that below. otherwise, here’s the news!

We Happy Few is delayed
God of War won’t have season passes
Accounting+ Review

We Happy Few Delays
To the surprise of no one, the horror survival game has been delayed once more. The developers released a video today making the announcement. They believe the the first 2 hours of the campaign aren’t good representations of the game, and want to rework that. To make it up to fans, the also teased the second playable character, Sally.

God of War Seasonless Pass
The game’s director, Cory Balrog, stated in a Tweet that the upcoming God of War game will not have season passes. He also stated that he is having a lot of fun with the game, but that isn’t important to the news part of things. Whether this means that the game won’t have post-launch DLC, or just that the DLC it will have wont be bundled into a season pass style thing remains unknown. Time will tell.

Accounting+ VR Review
I wrote another review recently, this time for the Justin Roiland (Rick and Morty creator) written VR title, Accounting+. I also did a 2 part video of the game, going through what I think is it’s entirety. You can check out the article HERE. Here’s a hint of what I thought: not bad.

Thank you everyone for reading. I’m sorry for not posting all week. I’m going out of town and I had to kick things into gear to get everything done on time. Unfortunately this proved to be a touch exhausting, and the site got put on the back burner. If I ever manage to make writing my full time job, I promise to be MUCH better about my consistency. Come back Monday for the weekend news summed up. Otherwise, have a great night!
