Marvel Legends Spider-Man Mask Looks Cool And Kinda Creepy
Marvel Legends Series Spider-Man Homecoming Animated Mask
Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Entertainment EarthEveryone has their preferred cinematic incarnation of Spider-Man, and each one has its own unique charms, but one element Tom Holland's MCU Spider-Man nailed is the expressiveness of the hero's eyes while wearing the iconic red suit. It's an effect that many cosplayers put hours of effort into replicating, but thanks to this new Spider-Man Homecoming Animated Mask from the Marvel Legends Series, you can achieve the webslinger's animated eyes with minimal effort. The new replica, which launches on September 1, features moving eye pieces that you can easily control to change the size and angle of the mask's eyes on the, er... fly. If you're interested in adding the collectible to your cosplay wardrobe or Marvel merch collection, you can preorder the Marvel Legends Series Spider-Man Homecoming Animated Mask for $130 on Amazon and Entertainment Earth.
Marvel Legends Series Spider-Man Homecoming Animated Mask $130 | Releases September 1The Marvel Legends Series Spider-Man: Homecoming Animated Mask is based on Peter Parker's Iron Spider suit seen in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Unlike many replica superhero masks and helmets, this one is a full mask made of flexible silicone fabric that covers the wearer's entire head and neck, and is molded to fit around the chin for a movie-accurate look.
As mentioned above, the mask features moving eye parts that are controlled via an included wireless remote. You can select between eight pre-configured eye expressions and five programmed routines that cycle between different movements, or manually control them.
The mask measures 10.25 inches tall and 7.25 inches wide. A display stand is also included--so even if you don't plan to wear it, you can show it off as a cool set piece in your collection.
Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Entertainment Earth
Note that while Amazon lists September 1 as the launch date, Entertainment Earth has a more vague October 2025 release date. We're assuming that will be updated to match Amazon's ahead of launch, but in case you're looking to get it as soon as possible, it might be worth sticking with Amazon in case those orders do, in fact, ship earlier. Since Amazon doesn't charge until orders ship, you can always order now and cancel later if you change your mind.
The Marvel Legends Series includes numerous other premium collectibles, from action figures and statues to props and accessories. If you're looking for more replica masks and helmets, there are several models available now, including heroes like Iron Man, War Machine, and Star Lord, and Villains like the Green Goblin. Like the upcoming Spider-Man mask, these are all high-quality replicas that cover your entire head and feature screen-accurate designs, making them perfect as a part of a cosplay outfit or merch display.

Finding the best weapon loadout in Killing Floor 3 is easier said than done. The feature is a first for the series, and with it comes a plethora of new guns to learn and get used to. With a total of 24 primary weapons--four for each of the six perks--some guidance is necessary.
In order to craft mods, you'll need to gather resources. This is a time-consuming task, meaning that investing in the wrong places can cost you. It is possible to recycle crafted mods, but only for a fraction of the original cost. Don't fret, though, as we've gathered the best weapon loadouts in Killing Floor 3, picking the most essential option for each perk in the process.
Table of Contents [hide]Best Weapon Loadout for the Commando PerkMost weapons in Killing Floor 3 have a futuristic twist, but the SCAR EIR gets fairly close to the traditional guns of old. This assault rifle touts high precision, with relatively low recoil. It's a great all-rounder option that's on a high tier but doesn't cost as much as the Knightsbridge. That being said, handling, recoil, and penetration power are quite low.

Fans of Happy Gilmore will want to keep their remotes handy after watching the sequel, Happy Gilmore 2, on Netflix. The streaming platform has just released a new tie-in video game: Happy Gilmore: Golf Mayhem ’98 Demo, available to all subscribers for free.
The retro-style game, developed by Amber, can be played on TVs and desktop devices. According to Netflix, the game offers a nostalgic '90s arcade experience, blending chaotic golf gameplay with combat-style mechanics reminiscent of Mortal Kombat. Players can golf, battle familiar characters, and wreak havoc across a cartoonish golf course--all in a short, punchy game packed with Easter eggs for longtime fans.
While the game takes place during the first Happy Gilmore movie, it's actually a nod to the opening scene in the sequel, where Gilmore has become a video game star a la Tony Hawk.

At this point in the lifespan of The Sims 4--it's been 11 years!--it can feel a little bit mundane to just keep playing as a normal Sim. Thankfully, there's a pile of occult forms you can try out that will shake up the Sims formula in a big way, from vampires to fairies.
There wasn't much of an occult presence in the early years of The Sims 4, with only aliens and vampires added via DLC in the game's first half-decade. But Maxis has changed that status quo in a big way since 2019, with the introduction of spellcasters, mermaids, werewolves, ghosts, and, with the new Enchanted by Nature DLC, fairies. That's an impressive group of supernatural weirdos--if you've bought all that DLC, anyway.
Fortunately, you won't be alone as you start exploring all that, because we've got a detailed rundown for every occult type that will make it easy to dive in.

After conquering the wasteland of Fallout with a well-received TV series, Wolfenstein is the next big project in development at Amazon. The upcoming TV series is being led by Fallout producer Kilter Films and Patrick Somerville, under his Chaoticgood.TV production banner. Jerk Gustafsson from current Wolfenstein games developer MachineGames will also help executive produce the project.
According to Variety, details on the project and its plot remain locked up for now, but it looks like the core premise of killing Nazis is being kept intact. The Wolfenstein video game series has been around since 1981, and 1992's Wolfenstein 3D from developer Id Software is credited as one of the key games that helped popularize first-person-shooters in the '90s.
In recent times, MachineGames rebooted the series for a new generation, starting with 2014's Wolfenstein: The New Order. Amazon's adaptation will likely use this incarnation of Wolfenstein as the foundation for the show, considering that MachineGames is involved.

Bethesda Game Studios is thanking players--all 9 million of them--for checking out The Elder Scrolls VI: Oblivion Remastered. The milestone comes just a bit over three months since the RPG arrived on April 22. It's worth noting that the game surprise-launched on Game Pass for PC and Xbox Series X|S, alongside digital versions on those platforms plus PS5.
The Oblivion Remastered achievement was shared on BlueSky by Bethesda, with the company adding: "Thank you for sharing in our worlds." Developer Virtuos was actually behind the new version of the game, which originally launched in 2006 on PC and Xbox 360. The studio saw mass layoffs earlier this month, including job cuts at the French office of Virtuos that worked on Oblivion Remastered.
To everyone who emerged as a hero of Kvatch, mastered Arch-Mage, rose to Grand Champion, banished the Blackwood Company, gallivanted as the Gray Fox, and listened to the Night. Thank you for sharing in our worlds. ❤️

Troy Baker has voiced some of the greatest video game characters of all time. Not even including taking over Harrison Ford's role as Indy in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, he also has played Sam Drake in Uncharted, Booker DeWitt in Bioshock: Infinite, Higgs in Death Stranding, and of course, Joel Miller in The Last of Us.
During a panel at GalaxyCon New Orleans earlier this month, Baker was asked if playing Joel had affected him personally. He said it had actually affected him "deeply" in many different ways, including feeling "woefully unprepared" for the part.
"There's nothing worse, and I hope that no one ever feels this, but do you ever show up to something and go 'I am so woefully unprepared for this'? And, it's not impostor syndrome, it's a fact," he said. "You are not equipped to do the thing that you are about to do. You could be like, 'let's go bungee jumping!', and then you get on the platform and you go, 'I can't do this'. That was The Last of Us for me. You get the gig, and then you go, 'oh no, I have to deliver this'."

Call of Duty Season 5 arrives to Black Ops 6 next month, and Activision has confirmed the season will launch with the final map for Zombies. Treyarch has since released a series of teaser clips, showing what players can expect for this major story conclusion. This includes the map's Pack-a-Punch location and possible new enemy type with the "Mechaklaus."
Following the events of Season 3's Shattered Veil, the setting of the final map takes place in Janus Towers. Three short teaser clips have been released so far, and they all feature the perspective of Janus Tower security cameras with the grainy look of a '90s-style found footage film.
The first Zombies teaser shows Janus Towers in chaos with fires inside the building and a glimpse of the undead. The second teaser seemingly reveals that one of the towers was being used to manufacture robots. It also gives a first look at the map's Pack-a-Pack machine, which is located by a large circular device that could be some sort of teleporter. Janus Towers is a set of three large towers in Liberty Falls, so the teleporter could be a way for players to navigate the separate locations.

Writer and director Alex Garland could team up with Cailee Spaeny once again on the Elden Ring movie. The Alien: Romulus star is reportedly in talks to join the film adaption's cast, though the specific role is unknown.
Jeff Sneider (via Eurogamer) reported the possible casting for the Elden Ring film. Previously, Garland and Spaeny have worked together on the TV series Devs as well as last year's movie Civil War. Spaeny is probably best known for starring in Alien: Romulus as Rain; arguably, her breakout role came in Pacific Rim: Uprising in 2018.
In May, the Elden Ring movie was officially announced, with Garland helming and scripting the adaptation. The director previously performed both duties on Ex Machina, Annihilation, and the aforementioned Civil War. Garland also has a history in the video game industry, co-writing Enslaved: Odyssey to the West and assisting with the narrative for 2013's DmC. The filmmaker is also clearly familiar with Elden Ring, stating he was on his seventh playthrough last month.

A two-player mode is making its debut in Elden Ring Nightreign next week, allowing duos to run together without seeking a third player.
From Software has announced that a duos mode will be added to Elden Ring Nightreign on July 30 alongside update 1.02, which is aimed at providing a variety of other quality-of-life improvements. Full patch notes haven't been revealed yet.
The highly requested feature will be a game-changer for some folks looking to tackle the challenges in Limveld. When Elden Ring Nightreign first launched, players were forced to enter matches solo or in a group of three, the latter of which forced duo partners to team up with a random third player or seek out an additional person to join up.

Crytek was founded in 1999 by three Turkish-German brothers, Cevat, Avni, and Faruk Yerli. The brothers have come together to bring a limited-series documentary about everything Crytek, with the first part already online. For the first time, fans will be able to see previously unseen footage, explore early concept art, and delve deeper into the stories that made the studio what it was.
The documentary starts with the story of the brothers getting a black box PC from their father, which they said was for "studying," but they knew what they wanted to do with their lives. They also knew what they didn't want.
"We cannot be a typical German game company, because German game companies, usually used to, back then, make strategy games, RPG games very complicated to play," said Avni. "So our idea was to offer an experience, which is open-world sandbox experiences, semi-sandbox experiences, where you can also see the environment, walk around, experience everything. And that was completely new."

Earlier this week, VShojo, the VTuber talent agency that claims to put "talent first," came under fire as its biggest talent, Ironmouse, alleged that the company had failed to pay her a "significant sum" of money, as well as failing to donate more than $515,000 that she had raised for the Immune Deficiency Foundation. Now, after a mass exodus of its talent that saw VShojo without a single remaining VTuber on its books, the CEO has admitted to spending those funds to try to keep the company afloat.
In a statement posted to the VShojo X account on July 24, CEO Justin Ignacio has admitted that he has "mismanaged the company into the situation you're all witnessing." Ignacio goes on to confirm that VShojo has been facing financial difficulties in recent months, and that despite raising "around $11 million" to pursue a "talent-first" approach, the company eventually ran out of money. Ignacio says that "some of the money was raised in connection with talent activity," and claims that he later learned that it was intended for a charitable initiative. He continues, "We were working hard to raise additional investment capital to cover our costs, and I firmly believed, based on the information available to us, that we would be able to do so and cover all our expenses. We were unsuccessful in our fundraising efforts."
— VShojo (@VShojo) July 24, 2025However, users on X have pointed out several instances where Ignacio acknowledged Ironmouse's charity streams at the time, and allege that he did not "later learn" this fact at all, but was aware for the duration of VShojo's struggles. As a response to the situation, Twitch has removed the "GunRun" global emote that was dedicated to Ignacio.

Have you been waiting to hear any news of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond recently? Well, you might be in luck because the upcoming game has recently been given an age rating, suggesting that it may be getting a release date pretty soon.
As spotted by VGC, a listing for Metroid Prime 4 has gone up on South Korea's classification board where it is currently rated for "ages 12 and up" due to mild violence. The content of the listing itself doesn't reveal much else about the content of the game, but the filing does suggest that Metroid Prime 4 is indeed closing in on the finish line and could still stand to release later this year, where it's being pegged as a holiday release at the moment.
Additionally, VGC reports that the listing comes around the same time that it's been hearing of an imminent Nintendo Direct, where it is believed that a formal release date will finally be provided.

Just a day after release, publisher 505 Games has released a new update for Wuchang: Fallen Feathers that addresses several performance issues, fixes some bugs, and grants missing preorder bonuses. Alongside the fixes, all players will receive the game's original soundtrack DLC as a form of apology.
The patch notes detail the addition of a manual toggle for low latency mode, which is now no longer enabled by default, as well as VRAM optimization for lower-end GPUs. 505 Games says it has also fixed an issue where the game may crash immediately after the company logo during startup. It has also resolved a stuttering issue during finisher animations.
Players that preordered both the Standard and the Deluxe edition of the game will receive the correct content rewards after the patch update. If you're struggling to find the rewards, the publisher says you should log in again and claim them at the donation box located in Reverent Temple.

This week, The Fantastic Four: First Steps brings Marvel's first family of superheroes back to the big screen after a decade away. While the FF doesn't currently have a video game of their own, they are prominently featured in Marvel Rivals. And in the video below, the entire cast takes turns playing their respective characters in the game.
YouTube host Loserfruit put this gathering together when the cast was in Australia to promote First Steps. It seems safe to say that none of the FF cast are avid gamers, and Pedro Pascal noted that he never went past the original Nintendo console. But they all took their turns, starting with Ebon Moss-Bachrach playing the Thing, followed by Pascal as Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Invisible Woman, and Joseph Quinn as the Human Torch.
The cast had very amusing reactions to some of the alternate FF costumes, including the wedding attire for the team. They were also stunned by Invisible Woman's Malice skin, which Kirby jokingly suggested would be in the First Steps sequel. But if the cast thought that was shocking, someone should film their reactions when they see the actual Malice costume from the '80s.
