Isn't running going to destroy your knees? That's what the peeps who do the knee replacements tell me

I run around 10 miles a day and my legs have only gotten stronger. Injured my knees 4x playing basketball and soccer, zero injuries running.

This season of Pepys Monster sucks.

If I could have my fiance back, I would take her back.

Bethesda, the publisher of Fallout and Elder Scrolls, has acquired a mobile game studio to help bolster its efforts in the space. Bethesda announced that it has acquired the Canadian studio Alpha Dog Games, which developed the action-RPG Wraithborne and the action-strategy game MonstroCity: Rampage.

Bethesda vice president of development Todd Vaughn said in a statement that the publisher was "impressed" by Alpha Dog's "commitment to quality and depth of experience in mobile."

"We're excited to have them join the Bethesda family," Vaughn added

Alpha Dog will work alongside Bethesda on its "growing mobile game initiative." The studio will create "new exciting titles" for both iOS and Android.

Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Founded in 2012, Alpha Dog by veterans Shawn Woods (former art director at Microsoft) and Jeff Cameron (Microsoft, THQ, EA, Ubisoft, 2K, and HBO), Alpha Dog says its games aim to "set the bar high with a heavy focus on social experience." The studio develops its games using the Unity and Unreal Engine 4 development tools.

Bethesda's first mobile game was Fallout Shelter, which proved to be a big hit, making many millions of dollars from microtransactions. It's still supported today with new content and updates. Bethesda then released the digital card game The Elder Scrolls: Legends in 2017, which was followed up by The Elder Scrolls: Blades in 2019.

Bethesda has been ramping up its mobile efforts, even before this new announcement. In 2015, the company opened a new office branch in Montreal that would "expand its development capabilities in console, PC, and mobile gaming."

In other news, Bethesda just recently announced a new subscription service for Fallout 76 called Fallout 1st. The offering, which goes for $100 per year, grants access to private servers and more. Bethesda recently spoke to GameSpot to clarify some of the private server issues.

Ninja did nothing for Mixer

I mean you're wrong but whatever.

Mixer is dramatically catching up and taking over twitch.

Amazon-owned Twitch still dominates the streaming space; Ninjas move to Mixer hasnt helped Microsoft with user growth; Fortnite viewership is dropping; and a non-gaming related category is gaining popularity.

Does anyone think this is connected to the ghostpocalypse in Supernatural?!

I'm so tempted to ignore you

After shutting down on September 14, the troubled movie subscription service MoviePass has allegedly risen from the grave to charge former subscribers unexpectedly.

The New York Post compiled various reports of users getting charged despite the MoviePass app canceling operation. A few users, subscribers up to the very day the service ended, reported charges from MoviePass on their cards. Some saw the $10 membership fee, while others experienced this plus additional charges.

CEO Mitch Lowe told the Post that reports of subscribers getting charged following Movie Pass's shuttering were false and misread. One single subscriber, out of the many thousands of MoviePass subscribers, was charged $9.95 on September 15 and has been refunded that amount, Lowe said. We are aware that some of our subscribers have mistaken refunds appearing on their credit card statements for charges.

Still, some users continue to report MoviePass charges appearing on their bank accounts. Many have taken to Twitter to voice frustration with an inoperable service that's still reportedly siphoning their money.
This all follows MoviePass's harrowing journey prior to closing up shop in September. A July 2018 report disclosed how the bosses changed the passwords of its heaviest users in order to alleviate company turmoil. The company also secretly signed some users back up for the service regardless of cancellation earlier this year.

why does FF14 keep crossing over with other franchises? that's like if World of Warcraft had crossovers with DOOM, or XCom or something. just thinking of random things to crossover, with any more meaning than the ones FF14 does

I haven't even been aware of this until like a day or two ago. Is it like Fallout but...in space?

Well that's just fucking great. Looks like my dating game is shutdown for a few days while CE's slickest ladies man isn't around to provide his valuable knowledge.

Thanks a ton mods. Unbelievable.

Why is duckbear making fun of this dude's appearance?

Cool except too bad I don't happen to know seven other people who can drop everything at once to help me fight an e-battle
