obviously you don't have the

stick, he said. "You don't have as many buttons,

you only have the two bumpers, instead of triggers and bumpers. We created a custom scheme for this, called Four Button Mode. The advantage of it, is that with just one console, you can play FIFA 1v1, without buying anything else."

Why Mr. Peanutbutter is the Real Hero of BoJack Horseman

After periods of speculation about release dates and what tone to expect from the progressively dark and bizarre animated series, the new season of Netflix’s BoJack Horseman is finally around the corner. Part of the show’s ability to resonate with viewers and critics alike is the delicate line it walks between lampooning (and occasionally exhibiting) stale sitcom tropes and exploring the raw, realistic internal lives of its complicated characters.

Some spoilers from BoJack Horseman's first three seasons continue below.

The titular character, BoJack Horseman, is a classically damaged antihero in the vein of Tony Soprano, Don Draper and Walter White, and while we follow his misadventures and mostly try to root for him, he’s also spectacularly toxic to every single person in his life. When the show first began, it was easy to write off Mr. Peanutbutter as a lighthearted, idiotic foil to BoJack’s brooding, intellectual cynic. But throughout the first three seasons of BoJack, Mr. Peanutbutter develops over time into the closest thing the show has to an actual hero.

Infinite Warfare Next DLC PS4 Release Date Announced

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare's fourth DLC pack, Retribution, is coming to the PlayStation 4 first on September 12, Activision announced today.

The content adds the last chapter in the five-part zombie experience, "The Beast From Beyond." The new adventure is set in desolate military station on an ice planet and features Pee-wee Herman star Paul Reubens as movie director villain Willard Wyler once again.

The crazed director has trapped the four protagonists inside an all-new horror film, and players must battle the undead to escape Willard Wyler once and for all. Players will be able to try out new traps and weapons during the adventure.

Retribution's four new multiplayer maps, meanwhile, are Heartland, a simulation of small town America akin to the Call of Duty: Ghosts map Warhawk; Carnage, a post-apocalyptic race track along the California coast; Depot 22, a watering hole at the end of civilization with a moving train; and Altitude, a sky-high shopping mall located on the edges of the universe.
