CodeMiko's Shock Collar Twitch Ban Has Been Reversed

Dedicated followers of Twitch streamer CodeMiko can breathe a sigh of relief as the popular V-tuber has been u NBA nned by the streaming platform. CodeMiko had been sanctioned after she'd fallen foul of Twitch's Terms of Service after she used a shock collar on herself during a livestream. With nearly a million followers on Twitch, CodeMiko has thousands of viewers who regularly tune in to catch up with her. But in a recent stream, Miko took things too far for Twitch's policies and got banned after using a shock collar. The streaming platform does not allow content "that glorifies, promotes, or encourages self-harm" and activities that encourage "physically harmful behaviour". But the ban has not lasted long and CodeMiko took to Twitter to celebrate and announce the reversal (via Dexerto).

Ellie And Riley's Kiss In HBO's The Last Of Us Seemingly Cut In The Middle East

For the most part, HBO's The Last of Us has been a stunningly faithful recreation of one of the gaming industry's most beloved titles, but it also isn't afraid to dive deeper into the relationships of certain characters that weren't explored in the original Game . Episode 3 in particular was widely praised by the LGBTQ+ community for its loving depiction of a gay relationship. However, the show seems to have taken a step back with the release of Episode 7. For most of you reading, Episode 7 included one of the original Game 's most important moments - Ellie's kiss with Riley. Not only does it establish Ellie's sexuality, but also sets up Riley as a defining character in Ellie's life. Unfortunately, for those watching in either the Middle East or North Africa, Ellie and Riley remained best pals and nothing more, as the kiss between the two seems to have been cut by streaming service ONS+.

Resident Evil 4 Remake Nods To Darkside Chronicles With Krauser Art

A newly-released render of Krauser in Resident Evil 4 remake contains a nice little nod to the character's appearance in Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles. Despite some fear from fans that Krauser had been cut from the game altogether, a new trailer for Resident Evil 4 remake shown at Sony's first State of Play shows that the villain is back in full force, knife fight and all. The new trailer showed quite a bit of Krauser footage, but a new render released by Capcom shows a small detail that diehard fans are sure to love.

US Government Insider Contacts Neuroscientist, Tells Him “UFOs Are Non-Human Intelligence”

The three Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) fired by the US Military in February 2023 have shocked the entire world, and more importantly, the US government has no idea what they were . President Biden admitted that he had no idea what NORAD had detected in US airspace. Also, there is no information on whether the objects were related to China’s spy balloon program. Subsequently, the question remains unanswered: What are UFOs? Could UFOs be our time Travel ing descendants? Or entities that visit us from other planets? If the government says they don’t know what this Technology is, then considering other possibilities becomes a viable option. Perhaps there are explanations given by scientists and officials about the nature of these alien ships. Let’s take a look. In 2021, renowned neuroscientist and prolific author Sam Harris revealed on three occasions that he implied that the US government concluded that “we are in the presence of alien technology.”

Overwatch 2 Bugs Are Stopping Players From Receiving Event Reward

Overwatch 2 players are reporting issues with the current seasonal event, with new challenges failing to award them the prizes they've earned. This has been found to happen across multiple different challenges, and it's even affecting the loot that's meant to be rewarded for playing the browser-based dating sim, Loverwatch. These bugs are now on Blizzard's list of known issues, so a patch should be on the way. But in the meantime, you might want to hold off on grinding away at these challenges, as it's not clear if those who have met the requirements for the seasonal prizes will actually get them once the next patch rolls out.

Russell Westbrook could finish the season with the Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Clippers, Washington Wizards or Miami Heat, having already communicated with all four teams, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.  In an appearance on " NBA Countdown" on Wednesday, Wojnarowski said that the Utah Jazz, who acquired Westbrook's $47.1 million expiring contract before the trade deadline, have given the 34-year-old guard and his agent permission to speak with teams who are interested in signing him after a buyout .

Resident Evil Village VR Gameplay Trailer Makes It Look Like A Hectic FPS

Just a week before its launch, Resident Evil Village VR finally has its first Game play trailer that shows the PS VR2 version of the Game is going to be a much more action-oriented adventure.

The Last Of Us Actor Says Sam Raimi's Version Was "Never Gonna Be A Great Movie"

HBO's The Last of Us has become one of the hottest shows in the network's History as it gains greater viewership with nearly every new episode, something of a rarity for a debut series. While the latest episode dropped early, to precede the 2023 Superbowl, there exists an alternate universe where the live-action adaptation wouldn't have been a serialised television show, but a movie. And apparently, this movie version just wouldn't have been very good. That's according to actor Jeffrey Pierce, who played Joel's younger brother Tommy Miller in the video Game and Kansas City enforcer Perry on the HBO show. Pierce recently spoke with EW about the planned movie reworking of the Game , a treatment that was ultimately scrapped.
