Official LEGO Friends Central Perk Set Launches Next Month
LEGO has created an official set that brings Friends' Central Perk to life in intricate detail, and it'll be available on September 1.
The whole thing will be built as if it's an actual TV stage rather than a real-world location, with rigging and lights peeking out on either side of the set. The build includes iconic props like the brown sofa, the coffee-bar and all its barista equipment, plus the stage where Phoebe could be found strumming "Smelly Cat."
Ross, Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler and, amazingly, Gunther all make an appearance in minifig form too. Rachel is wearing her waitressing outfit, while Phoebe has her guitar, and Joey clutches a fistful of pizza.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Preorder Guide
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a brand-new shooter from Infinity War, set to launch on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 25, 2019.
Despite its name, and a few returning characters, the new title isn’t going to be connected to the previous games in the sub-series. It will also feature a fully-fledged single-player campaign, unlike last year’s Black Ops 4 from Treyarch.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will also feature a first for the series — cross-platform multiplayer. In another set of changes, there won’t be a season pass, and all players will get free maps and access to post-launch events. The new game will also see the return of killstreaks, a multiplayer feature that hasn't been used since the original Black Ops.

FIFA 20 Volta: 6 Things You Need to Know
With FIFA 20 comes a brand new game mode - Volta - an amalgamation of the gone-but-not-forgotten FIFA Street, and the more recent soap opera-like offering of The Journey. Within Volta are numerous modes - a six hour story campaign, an online league system with promotion and relegation, and standard kick-off modes.
It’s been in development for 2 years, having been considered too big an undertaking for an annual cycle and, according to creative director Matt Prior, “aims to engage with the core FIFA audience, but break down the barriers to casuals.” If it is going to manage that feat, here are things that may well see Volta make a big impact in FIFA 20.
Much More FIFA than Street
Mortal Kombat 11 Fans Delighted By Scorpion Hell Port Nerf
The latest update to Mortal Kombat 11 has tweaked several key characters - but Scorpion's nerf has become the richest meme fodder.
Players have long considered Scorpion's Hell Port and its air variation to be one of the game's most frustratingly cheap moves. Scorpion teleports behind his enemy in a near-unblockable strike that is easily chained into a high damage combo, with players at all levels spamming the attack and sending their opponent's cortisol levels cartwheeling.
But, as Eurogamer points out, the teleport has been turned into a high attack after the update, meaning players can duck Hell Port for the first time. This also means it's easily countered with a swift uppercut - and fans are delighted.
