Gearbox Confirms Battleborn’s Next Update Will Be Its Last
Battleborn will not receive any future content beyond an update coming this fall.
"As of this week, there will be no more Battleplans and there is currently no planned content after the Fall Update," creative director Randy Varnell said in a post on the Gearbox forums.

History of the Sentinels Explained
Maybe you see the spotlight first as it shines down into the cavernous city below, seeking out its prey. But it’s when you look up that your heart races and you break out into a sweat; there they are, those enormous robotic forms flying in the night sky, grotesque parodies of humanity devised to hunt down those that are different. As their chest beams arc toward you, the only question now is: Are you a human, or are you a mutant?
These are the Sentinels, and with the new X-Men series The Gifted hitting FOX, it’s time to take a closer look at how their nightmarish war against mutantkind began!

Everything We Know About the Inhumans in the MCU
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is growing bigger all the time, with The Inhumans being the latest addition to this massive superhero franchise. This new limited series will introduce MCU fans to Black Bolt, Medusa and the rest of the Inhuman Royal Family as the kingdom of Attilan finally makes itself known to the world.
While these characters are new to the MCU, the Inhuman race itself has been a prominent fixture in Marvel's Agents of SHIELD in the last few years. Here's everything we know about how this group fits into the larger MCU picture.
Agents of SHIELD has established the origin story for the Inhumans in the MCU, revealing them to be the result of genetic experimentation by the alien race known as the Kree. Desperate for new, more powerful soldiers, a group of Kree scientists came to Earth centuries ago and began experimenting on human test subjects. They knew that humanity's vast genetic potential could unlock a new race of super-soldiers.
There’s a NES Emulator Hidden on Every Nintendo Switch
Fans searching through the Nintendo Switch's back-end files have reportedly discovered that every console comes pre-installed with a NES emulator and a modified copy of 1984's NES Golf.
As noted by Switchbrew, an emulator called "flog" (try reading it backwards) has been included on Switch systems since its pre-launch 1.0.0 version.
Flog currently can't be accessed through official means, but when booted up, it runs NES Golf, with one major difference to the original - it supports Joy-Con motion control, allowing you to play shots by holding down L or R and swinging physically.

Shirtless Mario Modded into Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
A skin mod emulating the now-famous image of Mario in boxer shorts from Super Mario Odyssey has already made its way to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
"Shirtless Mario!" from SmashingRenders outfits the Italian mascot in beach-ready leisure wear. Mario keeps his famous cap but loses his overalls, trading them for a pair of spotty shorts.
This isn't the first occasion where famous characters have been modded into Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Past additions include Mimikyu from Pokemon Sun & Moon as well as Sora from Kingdom Hearts.
