World War 3 offers an intriguing combination of persistent online skirmishes and battle royale conflicts.

Developer Farm 51 have revealed a new military online shooter called World War 3.

Early information about World War 3 suggests that it will emphasize realistic military action across two major modes. The first mode, referred to as Warzone, seems comparable to the Battlefield series. That is to say that it allows players to participate in "large-scale combined arms battles with infantry, armored vehicles, and drones." There are rumblings of the mode featuring some kind of attack and defend objectives, but it's not clear if that is the extent of Warzone's objectives

It also seems that there will be some kind of overarching progression system in Warzone that will account for which countries are currently in control. Yes, there is some kind of on-going conflict system in the game that is based on team - and player - performance. The extent of this feature isn't clear at this time, but it seems that major changes in the war will be determined by the completion of certain in-game achievements as well as the final stats in a Warzone match (vehicle damage, for instance). 

Farm 51 is also touting the game's advanced damage mechanics which they describe as the “most authentic bullet vs. armour system in the FPS genre to date.” From what we can gather, the game will account for basic pieces of information such as what armor you're wearing and what gun your opponent is using as well as movement physics in order to accurately relay what kind of damage your character would take in that instance. 

World War 3's other major mode, called Recon, seems to be the game's battle royale offering. However, it does differ slightly from other battle royale games via its emphasis on squad play and objectives. Recon asks multiple squads of players to capture high-value targets while eliminating the competition. While character customization will seemingly play a big role in both Recon and Warzone, Farm 51 has stated that the game will not feature loot boxes or pay-to-win options.

We'll find out whether World War 3 will find its role in the highly-competitive online shooter market when the game debuts on Steam Early Access sometime later this year.

There's Only One Blockbuster Video Left in the United States

The true end of an American institution draws closer, as after two closings in Alaska, only one Blockbuster Video remains in business in the U.S. It might seem like a lifetime ago to many, but before subscription streaming services like Netflix and Amazon dominated the home video rental market, the good old-fashioned video store was king. The biggest player in that industry up until its final gasps as a major force was Blockbuster Video, which employed over 58,000 people and operated over 4500 stores in the U.S. at the company's peak in 2004. Blockbuster Video was founded in 1985, naturally right around the beginning of movie rentals as a whole. The company dominated the 80s and 90s, and became culturally ubiquitous. Of course, it wasn't always widely known for good reasons. Things like lacking supplies of new releases, annoying late fees, and Blockbuster's tendency to put surrounding independent video stores out of business by undercutting their prices, all became inf

WARNING: The following article contains SPOILERS for Disenchantment . - Fans of Matt Groening's work will not be surprised to learn that Disenchantment - the new fantasy series Groening created for Netflix - contains a number of Easter eggs and references to his earlier work. The early seasons of The Simpsons   often made reference to Groening's comic strip Life In Hell , and the sci-fi comedy  Futurama   also paid tribute to Groening's past creations - even before an official crossover  was arranged between Springfield's favorite family and the employees of Planet Express. To that end, we've attempted to inventory all of the subtle nods and sight-gags in Disenchanted that pay tribute to the earlier animated series and comics - from familiar wigs to a potential shared universe.

Harry Potter: 20 Things Everyone Gets Wrong About Voldemort

Tom Marvolo Riddle started out as an orphan at a muggle orphanage. He was convinced that he had a destiny greater than mundane obscurity. Then Albus Dumbledore arrived and told Riddle that he was a wizard. Riddle jumped at the chance to go to Hogwarts. However, he had already developed cruel and selfish tendencies - tendencies that he carefully worked to hide from the Hogwarts students and staff. He quietly expanded his knowledge, power, and influence until he reemerged many years later as Lord Voldemort. Voldemort spread such a reign of terror across Great Britain that the magical community as a whole feared to speak his name. They only referred to him as “You Know Who” or “He Who Must Not Be Named.” Just when he was at the height of his power, Voldemort was defeated and banished after an encounter with an infant. Harry Potter became known as the Boy Who Lived. For the rest of his life, Voldemort was obsessed with regaining his power and destroying Harry Potter, the supposed chos
