Gamers Wreak Havoc For PS5 In Japan, Police Called In At Tokyo’s Yodobashi Camera Store

0

One of Japan’s prime retailer of Sony’s PlayStation 5 had to cancel the sale and call the police after the crowd went out of control. The Tokyo store did manage to sell a few PS5 beauties before all hell broke loose. So much so that the police had to be called in reports Kotaku (via PushSquare) with a embed video which describes the ugly scenes.

The turmoil was caused after the news broke out of fresh stocks of PlayStation 5 at the retail store. The scenes are so very chaotic which this video too can’t describe.

Apparently, the location is, one of Yodobashi Cameras’ stores in the greater Tokyo-Yokohama area, which is offering PlayStation 5 without stringent need of the specific black credit cards, which was used to curb down sales to resellers. Thus, people rushed to the site to buy the new offering from Sony.

This, colluded with the fact that Sony has not been able to predict the numbers well for their new console, making lives difficult for retailers and consumers globally with slim stocks.

All this in middle of the novel coronavirus and government regulations. Tokyo has the most cases of COVID-19 in Japan, thus, the government has declared a state of emergency. Hence, it’s profoundly negligence on the part of shoppers to rattle the stores like that.

Japan is considered to be one of the most well-behaved country with highest honor for human behavior, and civility.. and the scenes from Tokyo aren’t well going with what generally is expected of the East Asian country.

Free Fire New Character Shirou: Everything you need to know

Free Fire is going to introduce a new in-game character named Shirou with their next seasonal update. This OB26 patch update will hit the global servers very soon and currently, the beta testing for various new in-game content has started taking place on the advanced servers. In this update, Shirou; a new Free Fire character; will be added to the game.

The characters in Free Fire are basically in-game models with unique characteristics that aid them in matches. There are multiple categories in which these characters could be segregated and while most of them focus on an aggressive approach on the battlefield, some characters could also be used as supports. Shirou will fall under the aggressive category when he is officially released.

Free Fire Shirou Details:

Shirou is a male character in Free Fire. His description says that he is the “fastest delivery boy around” and his skill kit depicts a similar picture. The model of this hero is pretty basic and no flashy objects or skins surrounding this character are released for now. While most of the new characters in Free Fire have an active skill, Shirou will be released in the game with a passive skillset.

Ability:

The passive skill of Shirou is titled as ‘Damage Delivered’. This ability marks an opponent when the enemy hits a Shirou user. Once an enemy is marked within a 50-meter radius, the first shot deals 10% additional armor penetration damage. This ability can be enhanced by upgrading the level of this character.

At the maximum level, the range of Shirou’s passive is increased to 100 meters, and the first shot on marked opponent deals 100% armor penetration. This is a huge buff ability and has a short cooldown of 60 seconds at the base level and 10 seconds at max level. The duration of the mark also ranges from 3 seconds at the base to 8 seconds at the maximum level.

How to get Shirou in Free Fire

Currently, Shirou can directly be unlocked from the in-game store in Free Fire. There is a special discount on the advanced server where players can purchase him for only one diamond and get a new skin bundle named ‘Hurricane Delivery’ set for free. This offer is only limited to the beta version and when this character will be officially launched, the method to unlock him could be different.

Free Fire is only testing the new content for now and all of it will release in the new OB26 patch update on the global servers. The new update will be pushed very soon and you can try this new character in Free Fire with its global launch. Shirou could directly be added in Free Fire at a discounted price so keep an eye for new events after the latest update hits Free Fire.

While many fans questioned his skills to perform such a task at first, streamer ‘RTGameCrowd’ wasn’t going to stop till he accomplished his tedious quest.

After a long stream that extended up to over nine hours, the streamer finally managed to pile all the bodies in the freezer, before blowing all of them up with a shot.

The fact that he’s dressed up as a clown throughout the ordeal adds further to the hilariousness to the stream.

PUBG Mobile: Star Twins Zuxxy and Luxxy tested positive to COVID-19 during PMGC

PUBG Mobile Esports planned to host their best event of the year, PUBG Mobile Global Championship Season 0 Grand Finals, in a localized environment so the most prominent teams from around the world flew to Dubai to participate in this tournament but unfortunately, it was taken to online mode after three players tested positive to COVID-19. The names were not released during the proceedings of this tournament but later on, Bigetron Esports confirmed that their star duo; Zuxxy and Luxxy; were the ones who were infected during the time period.

Zuxxy and Luxxy is a common name for one well acquainted with the PUBG Mobile Esports scene. This deadly duo are twin brothers who destroy their opponents when it comes to PUBG Mobile. They belong to one of the best lineups in the world, Bigetron Esports, and as a result, they always perform incredibly well.

PUBG Mobile Global Champioonship was yet another chance for Bigetron to highlight their prowess over the world. This opportunity was even more important because Chinese teams like XQF and 4AM were participating after a long time and Bigetron looked to stomp them in the Grand Finals. In the league stages, BTR was fairly successful and was looking as a strong contender to lift the trophy yet again but due to some issues, they were unable to perform to their prime level.

Bigetron had a very rough first day and afterwards, could not make up for the deficit and ranked fifth in the tournament. This was quite unexpected from Bigetron but now, the press release has revealed that their star duo was infected with COVID-19 and were in isolation during the entire course of grand finals. The official release is given below.

A post shared by Bigetron Esports (@bigetronesports)

It could be roughly translated as follows:

“Through this release, we inform you that two of our players, Made Bagas “Zuxxy” Pramudita, and Made Bagus “Luxxy” Prabaswara was positive for being exposed to COVID-19. Zuxxy and Luxxy tested positive for COVID-19 one day after landing in Dubai, UAE, namely on January 15, 2021. As a result, with forced the Red Aliens team to undergo the match under these conditions isolation with separate rooms individually. The good news, they have been declared cured and came back negative on January 19-20 2021. Even so, mandatory 14 days of isolation independence must still be implemented. Self-isolation itself will be completed on January 30, 2021 and they are scheduled to return to their homeland on 31 January 2021. Fighting in isolation is not easy. Communication, fitness physical, and mental stability are underperformance factors optimal.”

As per the press release, the team could not play as a whole from the same room and had to isolate in completely different areas. The communication gap was increased due to this and the health conditions itself could be the reason of Bigetron’s bad performance on the first day. It is also stated that both of them already tested negative during January 19-20 but will again be isolated for another ten days.

PMGC Season 0 was a roller coaster ride for many teams and the event management itself. After solving many issues, PUBG Mobile esports successfully concluded PMGC with NOVA XQF winning the tournament and a grand prize of $700,000.

CSGO is one of the most successful titles out there known for its aesthetic market place along with an insane set of FPS mechanics. Since Valve revamped the game with weapon sprays now known as “Skins”, we witnessed a turn in events after the Arms Deals update was pushed in the game.

These weapon skins caught everyone’s sights as players did find them to be visually appealing provided with the fact that these skins won’t be adding any extra muscle power to your weapon.

After the community market was set up for CSGO, players did find themselves to grab up some skins from the market or would sell their equipped skins to go for some different kinds. As such, people wanted more from the game, and that’s how skins in CSGO became a thing.

A lot of people care about the cosmetic elements in CS:GO, known as skins. They don’t influence the gameplay, but just make particular goods look more beautiful.

Today at TalkEsport, we have decided to organize a giveaway featuring skins worth price. This giveaway would reward the winners with Steam wallet codes, to be redeemed in their respective steam accounts. Voila, they could now get their favourite weapon sprays from one of the finest aesthetic markets available in the community.

21 at the time, Tony Lopez last year in August too, was accused of texting underage girls, a video was released indicating the same that made all those allegations all the more compelling. Life hasn’t been easy for Lopez ever since, given the community has been very critical of him and he was left without any choice but to drop an apology. However, at this point, he maintains his stand by completely demeaning these claims.

Twitch Streamer Slams Viewer After Being Asked Misogynistic Questions During Stream

0

In any video game streaming platform, trolls are a common occurrence. Streamers often report encountering racist and sexist remarks during their live streams which most of them generally ignore. Popular streamer ‘Negaoryx’ is no stranger to these misogynistic remarks on her stream, and while she usually resorts to banning these kinds of trolls, one viewer got it the hard way when they asked an inappropriate question to the streamer.

“Hi! What colour is your thong today?” the viewer asked Negaoryx through her chat during a livestream.

Negaoryx let out a big sigh after reading the question, but instead of ignoring or banning the viewer, proceeded to slam him for his mindset instead.

“Respect women, you absolute infant of a human,” she said. “So what did you expect? Did you expect that I was going to be like ‘BLUE, oh my god, why do you want to find that out? Here’s my number.’ Like what do you think people are gonna do, my dude? How do you see this going any other way than how it went?”

The viewer then tries to defend themselves, saying, “you can’t take a joke lmao, what colour is it?”

The response made Negaoryx slam the viewer even further, “’You can’t take a joke?’ What do you think a joke is? Can you imagine John Mulaney getting up on a stage and pointing at a woman in the audience and going, ‘What colour is your thong?’. And then she goes, ‘Excuse me that’s fucked up’ and he goes ‘You can’t take a joke’.”

“And then you don’t like hearing that because someone’s holding a mirror up to you and it makes you uncomfortable,” she continued. “Because you know you and you know the parts of you that are good. So in your heart, you have to come up with a narrative that makes you feel better about the fact that somebody’s asking you to confront the parts about yourself that you hate the most. And me telling you: ‘you’re not joking’ is me asking for you to hold yourself accountable to be a better person, because you’re not right now.”

Dixie D’Amelio heavily criticized for her “rich girl attitude”

0

Popular TikTok celebrity Dixie D’Amelio has been criticized after an interview with Vogue, where she can be seen flaunting her “rich girl attitude” while boasting her privileges.

In the video, Dixie says “It was fun living with my family. But I also was supposed to be in college right now, so I thought I needed to learn how to grow on my own. And like mature. And I wasn’t doing that because I would just have my mom do things for me. So now living by myself, I still go home every day to my parents’ house and have my mom do things for me. But I mean, that’s what moms are for, right?”

The criticism was mainly for the part where she described how she skipped college because her day job as a TikToker made it too hard for her to focus on college. Further, she came across a TikTok video saying students would play [her] songs at a frat party” and that “I don’t think I could handle that level of embarrassment.”

Although millions of fans love Dixie and her sister for their content, it is widely believed their content at multiple points has shown no appreciation of the privileges that they are entitled to and lack modesty.

In another instance, an episode of ‘Dinner with the D’Amelios’ back in November featured Dixie spitting out a snail preparation laid out by her chef, which appeared reprehensible despite, her having no intention to disrespect.

Criticism on social networks

“Imagine getting into college AND having the money to pay for it, but not going because someone will play your song at a party,” one person commented on her interview’s clip-on TikTok. “The privilege here is ASTRONOMICAL,” someone else wrote.“Damn you don’t have to like Dixie, but there is no reason to be mean to her in real life. You can state valid criticism about her music, but no need to be cruel,” one added.

Though this has resulted in her getting severe backlash from the community, there has been many who has stood for her.

How was the censored German version different from the International release?
