Spider-Man: No Way Home director Jon Watts revealed that he, Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, Tobey Maguire, Zendaya, and Jacob Batalon had something of a "Spider-Man therapy session" before filming the movie's first scene together.

Speaking to Variety, Watts shared that the so-called therapy session was the first time he had everyone together to talk about the story and how much Spider-Man means to each one of them.

"We sat on folding chairs in a circle and went through the script together," Watts said. "I had talked to everyone separately, but to have everyone together to talk about the story, how the pieces fit together and what Spider-Man meant to them — that was exciting for me. We had the only three actors to ever play Spider-Man in a film, and each had been through so much, on and off screen. It was like a Spider-Man therapy session.”

This session, and all the work done prior to filming No Way Home's first scene, allowed Watts to "take a step back" and realize that he and the crew were "capturing something more than a scene from a movie." To them, it was simply "watching a once-in-a-lifetime event."

Watts also discussed how his three Spider-Man films - Homecoming, Far From Home, and No Way Home - actually mirrored his greatest fears as he made these very personal feelings central to the "thematics of the films."

"I’ve always taken my greatest fear and made that central to the thematics of the films,” Watts says. “‘Homecoming’ is about a kid who gets a huge opportunity and is so afraid he’ll miss his chance, that he creates a disaster. That was my fear: ‘What if I screw the whole thing up?’ ‘Far From Home’ is about being afraid to make a second movie and screwing things up. Peter Parker is given a mission and he doesn’t want to take a risk. ‘No Way Home’ is about trying to finish this origin story and the responsibility that comes with this. Peter Parker and Spider-Man mean so much to people and I felt that responsibility.”

Space observers say part of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket that has been floating around space for nearly seven years is on track to collide with the moon.

The Falcon 9 rocket launched in February 2015 carrying NOAA’s Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR), which monitors solar wind and other space weather. After delivering DSCOVR, the rocket’s upper stage didn’t have enough energy to return to Earth’s atmosphere or to escape the Earth-Moon system, according to Eric Berger at Ars Technica. It’s had a “chaotic orbit” since then, affected by the gravity of the Earth, moon, and sun.

Bill Gray, the developer of Project Pluto, a suite of software for tracking near-Earth objects, asteroids, and comets, has been keeping an eye on the rocket stage. Collecting data from professional and amateur astronomers, he calculates that it should hit the moon at around 5,600 miles per hour on March 4th. The impact is likely to happen on the far side of the moon and go unobserved, but it’s possible that there could be something to learn about lunar geology based on the crater it leaves.

The rocket stage won’t be the first man-made object to hit the moon. In 2009, NASA intentionally sent spacecraft into the moon to check for water at its poles. It might be the first chunk of spacecraft to unintentionally strike the moon, but a lot of various space junk isn’t closely tracked.

“This is the first time that something not explicitly targeted at the Moon has been noticed to accidentally hit it, but that's mainly because we weren't paying attention until recently,” said Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, on his website.

“There are about 30 to 50 lost deep space objects like this that have been missing for years - 50 years in some cases - that haven't been picked up by asteroid searches, and probably some of them hit the moon.”

Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep leads the way for February's PlayStation Plus lineup. Announced on the PlayStation Blog, February's free games for PS Plus subscribers include Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep and EA Sports UFC 4 for PS4 players, and Planet Coaster Console Edition for PS5 owners.

Fans looking forward to Tiny Tina's Wonderlands in March will want to check out Assault on Dragon Keep. While the upcoming game is a full-fledged adventure taking place in Borderlands' Dungeons & Dragons-inspired counterpart, players first got their taste of the Wonderlands back in 2013, with a Borderlands 2 DLC starring Tiny Tina. Now, that DLC has been rereleased as a standalone package so players can get a taste of battling skeletons, dragons, and more ahead of the new game this spring.

Planet Coaster is a modern-day Roller Coaster Tycoon, letting players build and manage amusement parks. The game includes over 700 objects, including track parts, facilities, and more. And, you can download coasters made by other players in the community.

And finally, EA Sports UFC 4 is the latest ultimate fighting game from EA, featuring a career mode and online battles. We called the game great in our review, saying, "EA Sports UFC 4 is a largely iterative sequel that tightens up some looser parts, makes a few smart tweaks here and there, and doesn’t rock the boat all that much."

All three games will be available for download starting on February 1. You still have time to download January's PlayStation Plus games, which include Persona 5 Strikers, Dirt 5, and Deep Rock Galactic.

Steam Deck will go on sale starting on February 25, with the first batch of handhelds set to ship on February 28.

In a blog post, Steam says customers will begin getting invites “shortly after 10 am PT” on February 25 and will have 3 days, or 72 hours, from the receipt of their order email to make their purchase. If a person doesn't make an order at this time, the person next in the queue will get the chance to place an order.

Valve says it is hoping to send emails for orders out in batches weekly.

Order emails will be sent out in the same order as the reservations, and Valve will only let you order the Steam Deck model that you originally reserved. The initial reservation deposit will also be applied to the final price of the Steam Deck at checkout.

The Steam Deck was originally slated to start shipping at the end of 2021, but Valve announced that despite its best efforts, the global chip shortage hit them as well and the window was delayed to Q1 2022.

The Steam Deck is Valve’s take on a handheld PC gaming device and should be able to run your Steam library on the go. Some games will be better optimized for the Steam Deck and a new version of Steam OS will be used for the handheld.

There are three different models available for order, a 64GB eMMC model, 256GB NVMe SSD model, and a 512GB NVMe SSD model.

IGN was the first outlet to go hands-on with the Steam Deck and you can read our full preview here, along with an interview with Valve founder Gabe Newell on why Valve decided to enter the handheld market.

No Man's Sky studio Hello Games has announced that it's surprise-released remasters of its debut Joe Danger games on Apple devices.

Before it gained notoriety for making No Man's Sky, Hello Games cut its teeth with Joe Danger - a sidescrolling mobile series. Now, ahead of the character's tenth birthday, Hello Games has revealed that both Joe Danger and Joe Danger Infinity have been remastered for iOS15 and are available as of today from the App Store.

The remasters see a number of enhancements over their predecessors. Improved graphics, a new engine, and upped framerates are present in both titles, while Joe Danger Infinity will also gain the added benefit of gamepad and ProMotion support for those who are interested. To cap off the good news, Hello Games has also revealed that any fans who already own either game will receive an update today for free.

Studio head Sean Murray added that, at a later date, both games will be "fully playable for free online".

Having originally sold over a million copies, Joe Danger unfortunately became a casualty of the Apple App store, as iOS looked to cull older games that were no longer supported by the latest Apple devices. While Hello Games founder Sean Murray admits that the success of No Man's Sky left Joe Danger slightly unloved, he says that the team has been working for the past two years to bring the character back to life, piece by piece through eight years of Unity updates.

"Hello Games is best known for No Man’s Sky, but for us though it really doesn’t feel that long ago that we were pouring everything we had into a game called Joe Danger," stated Murray in a press release. "Joe holds a special place in our hearts. It was our first game when we were still four guys in a shed, trying to get noticed."

"We published it ourselves (no publishers were interested!), houses were even re-mortgaged to bring it to completion! Joe helped our studio get a foothold and establish ourselves as a company, but it’s also where we learned to make games."

For more from Joe Danger, make sure to check out our original review for the game where we awarded it a 9.5/10.

eBay has announced that it will be expanding its Authenticity Guarantee service to include trading cards in a bid to combat the number of costly fakes that have grown in circulation.

As detailed in a press release, the company has stated that it will be expanding its Authenticity Guarantee starting with single ungraded cards.

While free, the service at launch will include any collectible card games, sports and non-sports that are sold as single ungraded cards for a fee of $750+ in the U.S. Looking ahead, however, the company says that it also has plans to include graded, auto and patch cards sold for $25+ - though this won't be available until mid-2022 at the earliest.

Ask and you shall receive! Authenticity Guarantee for Trading Cards is here and even more cards will be eligible soon. https://t.co/kSIuExaEBf

— eBay (@eBay) January 25, 2022

The move represents eBay's latest bid to reassure customers when purchasing higher-value items through the online marketplace and follows in the authentication footsteps of other products such as handbags ($500+), sneakers ($100+), and watches ($2000+) that are already covered by the guarantee.

eBay's decision to offer customers more assurance when purchasing and selling high-value cards through the marketplace is to little surprise. The company noted in its press release that its trading card category is growing "significantly faster" than the total marketplace. According to eBay, trading card sales in the first half of 2021 reached a peak of $2 billion in transactions - a figure equal to the total value of transactions made across the entirety of 2020.

To date, the company says that over 4 million cards purchased on and off the marketplace have been added to its customer collections tool, which allows collectors to upload their cards to a portfolio and monitor the real-time market valuation of any cards that they own.

For anyone looking to get into the trading game, the company also revealed the categories of trading cards that saw the most growth during the first half of 2021, which included tennis (growing by 1,797%), soccer (at 852%), Pokémon (536%), Marvel (437%) and golf (436%).

The PlayStation 5 will finally allow players to have their latest screenshots and video automatically uploaded straight to mobile.

As spotted by the Twitter account Gaming Interactive Photos (and reported by VGC), fans will now be able to have their captures automatically uploaded straight to their PlasyStation mobile app. As can be seen in the tweet below, video clips sent to devices will be limited to three minutes or less while captures more generally will have an expiration period of fourteen days.

This a thing now omg! #PS5Share #ps5 #Playstation #PsShare pic.twitter.com/QOX1J7bLhE

Regardless of the limitations, this still marks a step forward for Sony fans. Up until this point, players hoping to view their latest clips on mobile would either need to invest in additional equipment or upload them to social media from their consoles and then download them from there.

As per VGC, in order to check whether or not your console has already gained the feature, you'll need to head over to the Media Gallery on your console, where you should see the above pop-up appear if it's available. The feature has been in beta testing in some regions already, but appears to be rolling out worldwide now.

From the Media Gallery options, you can choose whether or not you would like the console to automatically upload your most recent screen captures to mobile, or whether you'd prefer to keep them solely on your PlayStation 5 system.

In other recent PlayStation 5 news, Sony recently launched the consoles Wrap-Up tool for 2021, which allows fans to look back at their past year with PlayStation. Similar to other Wrap-Up services, the experience allows players to look back at their own personalised data from across the last twelve months, including insights into their most played games and latest trophies as well as data on how the PlayStation community as a whole got on.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Spider-Man: No Way Home!

The complete script for Spider-Man: No Way Home has been officially released online.

Written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, the full script for the recent Spider-Man sequel outlines all the action from one of the biggest blockbusters of the year. The script was released by Deadline as part of its Read the Screenplay series, and reveals what Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield were originally called…

Tobey Maguire is referred to as “Raimi-Verse Peter” or “Raimi-Verse Spider-Man” throughout, while Andrew Garfield was “Webb-Verse Peter” or “Webb-Verse Spider-Man”.

Of course, in the movie, the Spider-Men come up with their own solution to differentiate themselves, with Tom Holland known as “Peter 1”, Tobey Maguire as “Peter 2”, and Andrew Garfield as “Peter 3”.

Check out the rest of the Spider-Man: No Way Home script here.

It’s certainly interesting that the No Way Home script so openly refers to the different versions of Spider-Man that would appear in the movie.

After all, Marvel is known for its tight security around sets and scripts, with some actors not even given access to the full script during shooting. At the very least, the script is titled "Serenity Now", seemingly to keep the true movie unknown.

It’s certainly possible that nicknames or decoy names were used throughout the shooting scripts to keep things under wraps. But thankfully, the full script is a lot clearer, and it paints an impressive picture of what would eventually unfold on screen as the three big-screen Spider-Verses collide.

Although the multiverse crossover was originally intended to be a post-credit scene, the movie eventually evolved to bring “Raimi-Verse Spider-Man” and “Webb-Verse Spider-Man” into the action in a big way. Unfortunately, it looks as though it lost Mysterio in the process, but Andrew Garfield enjoyed returning so much, that he has since said he would love to play Spider-Man once again.

Spider-Man: No Way Home stars Tom Holland as Peter Parker, along with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield as their own versions of Spider-Man. They’re joined by Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Marisa Tomei, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Jon Favreau.
