Pokemon Go is celebrating the arrival of fall with the Harvest Festival event from October 10-16. Fall-themed Pokemon like Miltank, Smoliv, and Combee will be appearing more frequently over the next few days, but most exciting is the arrival of two new Pokemon: Dipplin and its evolved form, Hydrapple.

Dipplin is another alternate evolution of Applin, originally introduced as part of the Teal Mask DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Like Applin's other evolved forms, however, you'll need to collect a new type of item--Syrupy Apples--before you can get one, and they're a little difficult to get your hands on. Here are some tips to help you get Dipplin and Hydrapple in Pokemon Go.

Ratchet & Clank's franchise has been dormant since Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart was released in 2021, but that didn't stop some fans from searching for a game that few remembered. Ratchet & Clank: Clone Home was announced was announced in the mid-2000s as the follow-up to the mobile title Ratchet & Clank: Going Mobile. Although Clone Home was canceled and never officially released, the game has finally been found and a copy has been shared online.

The Golden Bolt's YouTube channel (via Engadget) has posted a video detailing the years-long search for Ratchet & Clank: Clone Home. As noted in the video below, several members of the gaming community took part in the search, but college students "Emily" and "Super Gamer Omega Clank" were credited for finding a Sony Ericsson W880i that had a working copy of Clone Home. Breaking the phone's encryption was the most difficult step, but their efforts paid off.

The title of the game refers to a pair of digital clones of Ratchet and Clank who team up with their counterparts in the real world to foil the plans of Vox, the returning nemesis from Going Mobile. The digital Ratchet and Clank exist in a video game within the game, and the real version of that duo are also transported into the game around halfway through the story.

You'll need to click the coupon to get this discount, but it's very hard to miss on the landing page. The first volume saw Morrison team up with celebrated artists like Andy Kubert, JH Williams III, Tony Daniel, and more, and this edition collects Batman #655-658, Batman #663-683, and several stories from DC Universe. Morrison wastes no time in setting up a new status quo for the Dark Knight, as these issues saw the introduction of his son and future Robin, Damien Wayne, Batman's battles against the Black Hand, and a breakdown of the character leading up to his "death" in Final Crisis.

We've also included the other two volumes you can pick up in this series. The second volume follows Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne after they don the mantles of Batman and Robin while Bruce Wayne is lost in time after being struck by Darkseid's Omega Sanction effect, and the third volume explores Wayne's ambitious project to expand his war on crime across the globe with the formation of Batman Incorporated.
