Fire Emblem Voice Actor Has Been Recording Seteth Memes
Mark Whitten, the voice actor for Seteth in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, has been voicing over popular memes based on his character to hilarious effect.
For those who haven't been obsessively playing the new Nintendo Switch game over the last ten days, Seteth is Archbishop Rhea's second-in-command who has extreme devotion to the Church of Serios and his sister Flayn. He's also a bit of a jerk to the player character, to whom he makes frequent snide remarks.
Naturally, Fire Emblem fans have quickly begun making memes based on bizarre side quests that Seteth would theoretically give to the player character, with a bit of a Baby Boomer bent.

Is Marvel Setting Up X-Men vs. Fantastic Four?
Between the Marvel Comics relaunch of the X-Men line and Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige confirming at San Diego Comic Con that new movies featuring the merry mutants are on the way, it’s clear that big things are in store for the X-Men. But what remains to be seen is how these new iterations of the X-Men will take shape. If the events of House of X #1 from writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Pepe Larraz, the issue that just kicked off Marvel’s new era of X-Men comics, are any indicator, then the X-Men are heading for a showdown with that other superhero property that just came back under Marvel Studios control, the Fantastic Four.

WWE 2K20's cover will be adorned with Roman Reigns and Becky Lynch - the first woman ever to appear on the series' boxart. Alongside that announcement, 2K has also revealed the game's Deluxe and Collector's editions, and some of the game's key modes.
The 2K Showcase mode will return, now subtitled 'The Women’s Evolution', and will follow the careers of the Four Horsewomen – Becky Lynch, Bayley, Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks.
MyCareer mode will now allow players to compete as both both male and female Superstars, and Mixed Tag matches have been introduced. WWE Towers mode also returns adding a story-driven Tower featuring Roman Reigns' career.

Halo Infinite on Xbox One Will Still ‘Look Incredible’ Says Franchise Boss
While Halo Infinite is confirmed for the next Xbox, currently known only as Project Scarlett, Halo franchise development director Frank O'Connor says the game will still 'play and look fantastic' on Xbox One.
Speaking to YouTuber Blackmist523 O'Connor said: "Obviously the special citizen
will be Scarlett, and we've worked with that hardware team to make sure the game shows up amazingly on it... but it will
be for Xbox One and it will look incredible."
Project Scarlett's list of confirmed specs so far reveal a powerhouse. When it launches at the end of 2020 it'll pack a custom AMD Zen 2 processor that promises four times the power of the Xbox One X, supporting 8K resolution and 120fps gameplay. With that kit, it's clear that Halo Infinite will look and run better on Project Scarlett, but O'Connor was keen to stress that weaker specs don't mean the Xbox One release will run poorly by comparison.
