Marvel Rivals closed beta test is off to a pretty impressive start since it began earlier this week. With servers getting overwhelmed at first and the hero shooter climbing into the top 10 most viewed games on Twitch, boasting just over 68K active viewers. But with only a few days before the end of the test, Netease is adding another surprise: two new heroes.
The International Mathematical Olympiad is not just a terrifying sequence of words for someone as maths-blind as myself, but also a notoriously challenging world championship mathematics competition for high school students from over 100 different countries. Each year students compete to show off their mathematical prowess in a chosen host country, each aiming to solve problems that would make the rest of us cower in fear.
Netflix sure did sound excited about its BioShock movie back when it announced it in 2022, but it seems like passions have cooled. In a recent chat at San Diego Comic Con (via Variety), the film's producer Roy Lee informed fans that Netflix's «new regime has lowered the budgets… so we're doing a much smaller version» than was originally planned.

Over 160,000 performers will refuse to work on games in production at a number of major developers, including Activision, Disney, and EA, until the companies agree to a contract with «critical AI protections» for union members. The strike officially begins on July 26.
Earth Defense Force 6 released earlier today, and as you'd be able to tell from our review, we like it quite a bit. But while a new EDF should be cause for raucous celebration from one of the world's more specific types of sicko, I'm pained to report that the sickos are displeased. The would-be bacchanal of big guns and bigger ants is instead the site of another Steam review-bombing. Why? Because EDF 6 requires you to login to an Epic account to play online, even if you're playing on Steam.
When France lights the Olympic flame on Friday to signal the start of the 2024 Paris Olympics, Team Videogames will be shamefully unrepresented in the prestigious ceremony. The shame tomorrow belongs not to the Olympic committee, which has in fact agreed to bring esports into the fold in 2025. No, the shame lies with two competitors who seemingly couldn't be bothered to show up.
