Stop Your Gaming Laptop From Searing Your Lap With These Cooling Pads
Air is more than just the invisible substance keeping us alive. It has many other crucial uses, like filling the tires on your car and cooling the sensitive electronics inside your laptop. As laptops have grown more powerful, heat dispersion has become an issue despite all the engineering that goes into their elaborate coolers. It's just a fact that sometimes, especially in the summer, you need some extra airflow to keep notebook computer temperatures down and framerates up, because there's no crime as awful as GPU throttling. The good news is neither you or your GPU has to suffer if you enlist one of these laptop cooling solutions.
TL;DR – These are the Best Laptop Cooling Pads:
Pokemon Go Update Will Change Gyms, Add Raid Battles
A major new update is coming to Pokemon Go this summer, completely redesigning gyms and adding raid battles along with new items.
Later this summer, gyms will no longer be based on Prestige. Instead, gyms will now only allow a maximum of six Pokemon, and only one of each type (so you’ll no longer see gyms filled with nothing but Gyarados and Dragonite, as only one of each is allowed per gym).
Instead of starting with the weakest Pokemon first, players will now battle Pokemon in the order they were placed in the gym. Gyms will also become places where you can get items, allowing you to spin a photo disc like you do at PokeStops and receive items in return.
The new look for gyms in Pokemon Go

Blizzard Seemingly Remastering Warcraft 3 and Diablo 2
A job listing seems to have revealed that Blizzard will remaster two more of its classic games: Warcraft 3 and Diablo 2.
A Blizzard listing for a Senior Software Engineer (spotted by PCGamesN) says:

Evolving operating systems, hardware, and online services have made them more difficult to be experienced by their loyal followers or reaching a new generation. We’re restoring them to glory, and we need your engineering talents, your passion, and your ability to get tough jobs done."
Another Government Committee Recommends the Australian Interactive Games Fund Be Restored
Yet another official Australian Government committee report has recommended the restoration of the previously-axed Australian Interactive Games Fund.
Today the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Employment, Education and Training presented the findings of an investigation launched earlier this year (Inquiry into innovation and creativity: workforce for the new economy). Amongst the committee’s proposals was a recommendation that “the Australian Government introduce a funding scheme based on the former Australian Interactive Games Fund.”
Here’s Every Shadowverse: Wonderland Dreams Card
The fourth Shadowverse expansion - Wonderland Dreams - sees developer Cygames riffing on Alice in Wonderland, as well as a number of other popular fables and fairy tales. It's shaping up to be a lot of fun, with a focus on "Neutralcraft" - i.e. decks that revolve around neutral cards and cards that take advantage of or are impacted by neutral cards. It's a cool concept, as it allows the team to create new deck types for basically every class, as opposed to simply building on what has come before.
If you want to see what the set is about at a glance, you can see all 104 new cards below, ordered by class.

Halo 6 Reveal ‘Won’t Be Soon,’ Says 343 Industries
It looks like Halo 6 won't be revealed anytime soon, as 343 Industries has confirmed the studio won't be discussing the next major installment in its sci-fi shooter series "for quite some time."
In a post on Halo Waypoint, 343 Industries writer Jeff Easterling (aka GrimBrother One) addressed the absence of Halo 6 from Microsoft's E3 media briefing and dashed hopes of a potential reveal in the near future.
"While there's little to nothing that can be said on that front, it's been made clear that we won't be talking about Halo's next major title for quite some time," Easterling said. "And no, that doesn't mean Gamescom. Or PAX. Trust us, when we're ready to begin pulling back that proverbial curtain, you'll know. It won’t be soon."

Why ‘The Darkness’ Won’t Be Addressed in Destiny 2
The Darkness won't be addressed in Destiny 2 and Bungie has come forward to explain why.
Speaking to Game Informer, game director Luke Smith confirmed that while The Darkness was a mysterious term that was referenced quite often in the original Destiny, it won't be mentioned in Destiny 2.
"We've never really said what
means," Smith said. "Ultimately, we do owe our players a story there – what is The Darkness? – but that’s not this game. We wanted to remove as much of the extra terminology as possible and focus on telling the Destiny 2 story."
