On 25th June Street Fighter 5 gets a big new update - and part of that is the addition of loot boxes.
The loot boxes have to do with Survival Mode and a new system called Fighting Chance. Menat, one of the playable characters, has opened up a shop to tell you your fortune. Spend 500 Fight Money, the in-game currency, and you get a Fantasy Fortune Reading, which Menat helps you decipher. These readings are the loot box: they contain multiple items, including some exclusive to Fighting Chance.
Items include Battle Goods, which increase your chance of completing Survival Mode, new colours only available from Fantasy Fortune Readings, classic pieces of Street Fighter art from across the series, and, to the consternation of the Street Fighter community, rare costumes only available via Fantasy Fortune Readings.

So get a call from property manager on saturday about mystery scaffolding being up in front of my rental unit, property manager knows nothing about...

The countdown finally reached zero, and the rocket that’s been patiently waiting in Fortnite’s enemy lair launched yesterday at 13:30 EST. Players gathered to watch, and for a moment, it looked like a scene from Cape Canaveral, where shuttles would blast off on orbital missions.
The launch was visible from most of the island, but it was also broadcast on in-game television screens, reinforcing that connection to Moonshot and giving the event a certain gravitas. The rocket climbed into the night sky, and the gathered players (generally) looked on peacefully.
But then things got strange. The rocket’s first stage burned out its fuel and detached, tumbling back to Earth (or wherever Fortnite is supposed to take place) and landing somewhere in Anarchy Acres. After a moment’s pause, the second stage ignited, and the rocket resumed its ascent, moving faster until it finally disappeared out of sight, leaving only a contrail.
Fortnite is the only one with hyperspace rockets, but ?
The rocket - or something like it - then appeared to fall back to terra firma, its nose pointed at the ground as four laser beams focused in on Tilted Towers. Once all four had lined up, the rocket’s third engine stage ignited and it hurtled toward its target - only to disappear into a shimmering crack in reality itself.
Another crack opened, this time over Moisty Mires, and the rocket emerged, flying horizontally across the landscape and again disappearing into a crack in the fabric of reality. Another crack opened near Loot Lake, and the rocket burst through at high speed, this time headed upwards. It hurtled back into the night sky, only to disappear again as it smashed a massive crack in… reality itself, apparently.

Rockstar's greatest ever character? There's no contest, really. He's everything I love in a video game hero; cool, composed and with a sharply- defined cocky edge. And the best thing is, he never utters a single word.
Good god I love Liu Ping, and going back to Rockstar's Table Tennis after some 12 years (12 years!) his appeal hasn't dimmed in the slightest. It's in his swagger, the strength and style he communicates in even the smallest of movements as he prowls around the table, deftly conjuring impossible shots. It's in his attitude, the way he holds the paddle angled towards himself, dangling purposefully between thumb and forefinger in a posture of pure purpose. It's the way he fans himself nonchalantly with that paddle at the end of a point, the raised eyebrow when a game doesn't go his way or the pursed lips and look of pure determination as he's about to fire off a serve. He's a hard-edged angel with a mean backhand.
So much done with so very little, which is pretty much Rockstar's Table Tennis' maxim - and which pretty much flies against the maximalist approach that Rockstar typically takes with Grand Theft Auto. Funny, isn't it, how last generation was bookended by two Rockstar San Diego joints, both of which played fast and loose with the company's formula. Red Dead Redemption is brilliant in its own way, of course, rightly praised for its relative reserve and emotional maturity when placed in contrast to Grand Theft Auto 4 which preceded it (the contrast is even starker when you put it alongside Grand Theft Auto 5), but Rockstar Table Tennis is something else; a wordless wonder where rivalries are told through nothing more than the tics that find their way into the animation.

I've featured over the last six months and that's now a cracking solution for massaging HTML5 web sites and PWA into Start screen-launchable and full-screen form. 'edgeTile' UWP takes a more hands-off approach, concentrating on putting shortcuts on your Start screen in a more customisable fashion but stopping short at packaging sites themselves. Hence you still end up, for web content, with URL bars on-screen, taking up room. The upside is that edgeTile is more flexible, allowing the launching of other resources, plus you can 'save' your creations, as needed.

A judge has ordered Facebook and Oculus to pay Zenimax $250 million in damages over a lawsuit alleging the virtual reality venture stole trade secrets from Zenimax. It’s half of the $500 million awarded to Zenimax by a jury in February 2017.
U.S. District judge Ed Kinkeade ruled that the lawsuit lacked sufficient evidence to sustain the charges that Oculus founders Palmer Luckey and Brendan Iribe were responsible for damages over false designation, i.e., failing to disclose the origin of a product they were selling. Kinkeade said this means Oculus and Facebook can’t be expected to pay the $250 million in damages that stemmed from that aspect of Zenimax’s suit.
While they work out the legal issues, here's our list of the .
When the case initially wrapped up last February, the jury awarded Zenimax $500 million in damages, but determined that Oculus did not steal trade secrets, as Zenimax alleged, when it hired id Software co-founder John Carmack away from Zenimax.
In 2014, Zenimax accused Oculus of stealing proprietary VR technology and using it as the basis for the Rift and filed suit. The company has also alleged that Carmack took trade secrets with him when he left to join Facebook and Luckey, a charge which . Carmack has filed a , alleging the company still owes him that amount in contract payouts.
Oculus founder Palmer Luckey sold his company to Facebook for $2 billion in 2014, but left Facebook last year after reporting by The Daily Beast that revealed his involvement .
