While battling a multiversal threat in the pages of a series continuation comic book, Rick and Morty prove an MCU hero shouldn’t have survived his first movie. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has given fans a live-action look at some of the most powerful characters in the Marvel Universe, but a few of their stories ended a bit too quickly and abruptly. One powerful MCU villain in particular would have definitely won in the final battle against the pesky heroes trying to stop him, and Rick and Morty just proved that to be true.  Rick And Morty Dimension Portal T-Shirt In Rick and Morty Presents: The Vindicators #1 by J.

Image
Adult Swim's science-fiction comedy series, Rick and Morty, needs a happy ending and a proper resolution to the main characters' toxic relationship.

Dying Light 2's first free DLC is Peacekeeper-themed

Image
Techland has committed to at least five years of post-launch support for Dying Light 2 , and we're about to see the first portion of that support in the form of a free DLC. The Authority Pack consists of an armor set and weapon themed around the game's law and order-loving Peacekeeper faction. Horror Video Game Dying Light Unisex T-Shirt The Judge-Dredd-esque Peacekeepers deck themselves out in policeman-blue riot gear, and their "execute-you-for-jaywalking" buzzkill vibes contrast with the other main faction in the game: the Chaotic Neutral party boy Survivors. There's no word yet on when the Authority Pack will release, aside from "soon," but I have to imagine the Survivors will get a similar gear treatment shortly thereafter. If you don't want to roleplay a lantern-jawed apocalypse cop yelling "I am the law" at whoever will listen, your day will come.

The new version of Minecraft for Windows includes frogs, their tiny tadpole babies, and several of their new features to test out.  Minecraft, Diamond Digger T-Shirt From what we know about the frog mobs so far, they spawn in swamp biomes where they'll spend time snapping fireflies out of the air and hopping on Dripleafs. We already knew some other neat things about frogs, like how they hatch as tadpoles and grow into one of three frog varieties based on the biome they mature in. Mojang had also let on that frogs would be useful to players in some fashion, but didn't initially let on how.  Minecraft, Newbie T-Shirt Today's patch notes for Bedrock 1.18.10 let on at least part of what frogs can do and i...

Watt on the podium. "Begin the petition." Just hours earlier, Watt had tied Michael Strahan's record of one-time NFL firings with 23 seconds remaining in the first half.
