PewDiePie’s Cocomelon diss track removed for child safety concerns

PewDiePie’s diss track aimed at child poetry channel the Cocomelon has been taken down by YouTube as it violates the community guidelines for child safety.

PewDiePie has found himself at odds with many in the past but was able to successfully come out on top or move forward. This is not the first time he has taken the path of a diss track to squash the beef and yet again he finds himself surrounded by controversy. PewDiePie has put a crosshair on the Cocomelon channel where he takes on the poetry channel along with 6ix9ine.

Earlier on 19th February, the video was nowhere to be found and later YouTube confirmed that the video was indeed taken down as it fails to sit right with two specific policies of the YouTube community guidelines. “This video violated two policies: 1) Child safety: by looking like it was made for kids but containing inappropriate content. 2) Harassment: by inciting harassment @ other creators– we allow criticism but this crossed the line,”.

The community has expressed mixed feelings surrounding this move from YouTube, fans pointed out there were several instances in the past where YouTube let similar content off the hook, while others believe that removing the video was the best decision for everyone.

Overwatch Patch Notes – 18th February 2021

A new patch for Overwatch has been released by Blizzard Entertainment, and fans are eager to know what’s new in this update.

While the February 18th patch isn’t huge, it does introduce some major changes to some of the heroes. Orisa, Reaper, Winston, and Wrecking Ball each received some changes.

Here are the detailed patch notes of today’s update along with developer‘s comments:

Full Patch Notes:

HERO UPDATES

Orisa

Fortify

  • Prevents critical headshot damage while effect is active

Developer Comments: This will make Fortify more reliable at preventing large bursts of incoming damage and make it more consistent as a defensive ability.

Reaper

Hellfire Shotguns

  • Spread reduced from 8 to 6
  • Damage per projectile reduced from 7 to 5.5

Developer Comments: Reaper’s shotguns have a high damage potential but require close range or large targets to fully utilize. We’re smoothing this out by extending the range at which he can consistently deal damage while lowering the maximum damage of each shot.

Winston

General

  • Base Armor/Health has been redistributed from 100/400 to 150/350

Developer Comments: With this change Winston will be slightly more resilient against shotguns, beams, and weapons with a high rate of fire.

Wrecking Ball

Grappling Claw

  • Knockback strength reduced 25%

Developer Comments: For how often it can occur, Wrecking Ball’s knockback is too strong. We’re reducing the distance it moves enemy players to bring it more in line with other low cooldown knockback abilities.

BUG FIXES

General
  • Fixed a bug that caused player ragdoll models to fall through the terrain when skipping the kill camera
  • Fixed a bug that caused the Bounty Hunter game mode to collapse too early
Maps

Junkertown

  • Fixed a bug that allowed Tracer to escape map geometry in a specific location

Twitch India Servers Are Now Live

Twitch India Servers Are Now Live

Good news for South Asian video game streamers and content creators, as it seems like Twitch might be plotting a return to India with the Mumbai and Chennai servers going live.

The server listings for Twitch on Twitch Status reveals new servers in Chennai and Mumbai, both of which are currently online at the time of writing.

For the unaware, Twitch is one of the largest streaming platforms across the internet primarily focused on video game streaming.

Over the past few years, a plethora of Indian content creators had joined the platform but were faced with the problem of significantly high latencies due to the servers being located far away.

Needless to say, the potential re-entry to India after a failed attempt in 2018 might still leave Twitch facing some serious competition from other popular live-streaming platforms like Facebook Gaming or YouTube.

How to earn free UC in PUBG Mobile

How to earn free UC in PUBG Mobile

The in-game currency in PUBG Mobile is known as Unknown Cash or UC and it is required to purchase most of the in-game items in the game. The best way to get UC is by purchasing it directly but this costs real money and some might not like to invest money in the game so here is a simple method that can help you get some UC for free in PUBG Mobile.

This method is a legitimate way to earn UC and needs some hard work and persistence. Once you get the hang of it, it becomes quite normal and you can have fun while playing the matches as well. To earn free UC, you need to participate in the Bonus Challenge and pave your way towards the victory to gain free unknown cash.

The Bonus Challenge is an in-game event in which, players need to spend a certain number of tokens and participate in competitive matches. These matches are quite similar to scrimmages or PMCO in-game qualifiers where players need to play strategically and gain enough kills and placement points to gain Bonus Coins. These bonus coins can then be used to redeem UC but it is a tedious task.

To earn UC for free, remember that you need to put in enough effort and be persistent because it will not be handed over for free. You also need to join a clan to make this process a little bit easier and gain the participation tokens for free.

Just follow the steps given below to gain UC for free. You can also gather some friends and complete this method as a squad to have fun and earn UC at the same time.

  • Join any clan and go to its shop section. Redeem the ‘Bonus Challenge’ token.
  • This token will be available once a week so makes sure to redeem them weekly and play the challenge in one go.
  • The Bonus Challenge section unlocks at a certain time so keep an eye on the timers and reserve that time slot.
  • Once you have the token, simply participate in the matches in any given more. If you invest more tokens, there are high returns but we recommend you to play the matches with a single token requirement.
  • Play strategically and be confident in your skills. Grab a high number of kills and try to get a chicken dinner to get a ton of bonus coins
  • Once you have enough bonus coins, you can exchange them for UC. A total of 1000 Bonus Coins are required to redeem 100 UC and so on.

Remember to play it a little safe and not rush into unknown locations without gathering enough information. Most of the players participating in this mode are playing for free UC so the competition is quite tough. Play a mindful game and hold the correct position, set traps, and ambush your enemies to gain a higher number of kills.

This is the only legitimate way to earn UC for free in PUBG Mobile via official methods.

Destiny 2: How to Get Dead Man’s Tale – Exotic Scout Rifle

The new seasonal exotic is finally out and can be a bit tricky to get, but don’t let that stop you. You’ll have to complete a hidden objective to start the exotic quest, follow our simple guide to get the scout rifle.

  1. Start the arms dealer strike in EDZ and head left where you’ll notice a pathway straight ahead that’s usually closed. Keep going through the now open door and eliminate all enemies in the way, you’ll come across a landing zone where there’s a shipping container. Inside the container will be a datapad that you can acquire. Travel to the Tower and run to Zavala where he’ll tell you to investigate a mysterious signal outside the reef and offer you an exotic quest called Presage. This is where you’ll want to prep and keep whatever crowd control weapons you have along with a decent power weapon (we recommend Lament).
  1. Open the destination menu and go to Tangled Shore where you’ll see the new quest on the top-left corner of the menu, simply click on it and either launch the quest Solo or with a Fireteam.

The quest itself is pretty lengthy and a bit confusing when it comes to navigation, however it is still fairly linear. After the cutscene, head left and make your way across the neatly placed platforms to get inside the ship. In this quest, you’ll encounter 3 key elements to pass through the passages and these elements are;

  1. Spores (glowing fungal blobs).
  2. Fuses (electric components).
  3. Switches.

Standing near the spores and shooting them will let you pass through areas that are shielded off by the entity and shooting the fuses will unlock hidden compartments. While switches will have to be triggered manually. After you navigate through the puzzling areas, you’ll find yourself inside a trash compactor where you’ll have to shoot the fuses in the ground (they are random every time) and jump inside a now unlocked tunnel. Make your way through more areas and you’ll encounter the final boss.

Defeating him will take some time if you’re playing solo but just be patient. After you’re done damaging a good chunk of his health, he’ll jump down below and you’ll have to activate three switches in the boss room to cool the hot room down below in order to go down and fight the boss. Rinse and repeat until he’s dead and then head back up to get to the final pathway where you’ll be greeted by a Guardian’s corpse. Approach the body and claim your reward. Stay around to listen to some extra lore-based dialogues.

BetterTTV removes controversial twitch emote ZULUL

Twitch add-on Better Twitch TV has taken down the ZULUL emote following claims of racism after viewers pointed out its resemblance with a black face.

Managed by NightDev, Better Twitch TV is a browser extension used by viewers that gives them access to a greater array of emotes and ZULUL is one of them. For obvious reasons, the extension is endorsed by several streamers who allow it in their chat. Ever since its release, it has maintained its place as one of the most downloaded extensions for Twitch.

zulul emote banned

ZULUL is a dark skin alternate of the popular emote LUL which portrays TotalBiscuit who passed away back in 2018. The dark skin in particular didn’t sit right with the masses, though it was taken up as a harmless joke, there were many who argued against it. The abrupt removal of the emote in question came as a surprise to many and the reason is no secret.

Fans need not worry as while everyone grieving over the sudden removal, a new version “Pastor LuL” is dropped. Although Pastor was popular in 2017, its fresh introduction will definitely be welcomed with open arms by everyone.

Valorant’s new agent teased in maps after patch 2.03

We’re only days away from the highly anticipated Episode 2 Act 2 arriving to Riot’s tactical shooter Valorant, and it seems like players will be able to meet the next Valorant alongside the upcoming major update.

While we do know that the next Valorant agent will be a controller, we don’t have concrete details about what the next Valorant agent is gonna be like. However, fans of the title across the world have discovered some clues after the 2.03 patch that hint towards the mysterious next Agent.

In case you didn’t manage to catch some changes to the Valorant maps after the latest patch, shiny embers had started appearing that could be seen from various locations. These shiny particles are also surprisingly similar to the Tier 38 card of the Act 1 Battle Pass.

Many avid Valorant fans are considering this to be a teaser to Agent 15 of Valorant, especially since Riot has a history of teasing their upcoming agents in the prior patches.

It’s highly likely that the next Valorant agent will be introduced at the start of Act 2. Valorant Episode 2 Act 2 is expected to hit the live servers around March 2nd.

Previously, while explaining the upcoming agent, the developers had said, “We’re trying to push the boundaries when it comes to Agent abilities in VALORANT, and so far, everything we’ve thrown at you has been less disruptive than we thought they’d be. That said, our next Controller is a cosmic shift from the play patterns you’ve grown accustomed to. This one is for all you ‘galaxy brain’ players out there that like to study everything that happens on a map.”

Needless to say, the world will be looking forward to welcoming a new Valorant agent to the game.

VCT postpones Challengers 2 event ahead of bad stormy weather

The next event of the Valorant Champions tour in North America has been postponed to Feb 20 after being haunted by the rough weather conditions in the country. 

On Twitter, VCT made an announcement stating,

“Due to weather concerns and potential power outages for many of our players this week, the #VALORANTChallengers. Week 2 Main Event has been pushed back to start on Saturday, 2/20.”

The National Weather Service in NA said more than 100+ million Americans are now under winter storm warnings. The daunting storm has left millions without power along the U.S. Gulf Coast which has ultimately led to a surge in demand for electricity leading to a widespread power cut resulting in players facing severe issues while playing the same. Amidst this storm, VCT couldn’t deny risking their fixtures and have decided to postpone them till Feb 20.

The Challengers 2 event will kick off with FaZe Clan locking horns against Sentinels in the opener at 20:00 IST.
