Tekken 8 finally gives a first look at upcoming guest Yujiro Hanma from Baki, and he looks just as grotesque as you'd expect

Updated: Oct 19, 2026 7:45pm UTCTwo weeks ago, a Tekken player created a mod that allowed users to play the game online with rollback netcode, sparking a community-wide debate between Western players and competitors based in Japan and Korea. The mod, made by a community member named Ekspym, became an instant hit among Tekken players, reaching more than 10,000 players as of October 17 and a recorded 4,547 downloads as of October 15. According to the mod’s readme, “the package contains neither the PS3 firmware nor the game,” though it acts essentially like an emulator. It sparked a viral conversation regarding the current state of Tekken 8 (with many players seeming to prefer Tekken 6 out of the two games), but perhaps more surprisingly, received massive pushback from players in Japan and Korea. One of the loudest voices speaking out against this mod was celebrated fighting game pro Dogura. “The pirated version of Tekken 6? That thing crosses the line way too much, and I'm horrified that no one overseas is raising negative voices about it,” he wrote in a post on Twitter/X. “When our fundamental values and sense of morality differ this much, we probably can't even have a conversation.

The explosion in card collecting, from Pokémon to basketball cards, has led people to pay a premium to get their collections graded by official third parties like PSA. Usually, the worst thing a customer can hear from a grading agency is that their prized card isn’t the mint condition they thought it was. But for Sky-B, a recent email from PSA had news that was way worse. PSA reportedly messaged him recently (via IGN) to inform him that a FedEX truck leaving its facility in Southern California was burglarized and his order was one of the ones impacted by the theft. “We understand how upsetting this news must be,” the email read. “While your items were not in our possession at the time of the burglary, we take our role in helping secure your items seriously and will work with you to resolve this situation as best we can.” "We will compensate you for the items from your order that were involved, which is based on fair market value up to the Maximum Insured Value ("MIV") you selected for each item. " @natsturner, I pray you handle this and take care of everyone affected in the most professional…

Infinity Ward has long been the Call of Duty studio to rely on for single-player campaigns. The original Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2 are still the best in the whole series, and the reboot got off to a strong start with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare in 2019. Despite a slightly underwhelming runtime, Modern Warfare 4, the latest, is up there with the very best of them. There are two stories happening simultaneously in Modern Warfare 4. One follows the trials and tribulations endured by Sierra-1, a unit made up of both South Korean and United States soldiers, as they fight back against an invasion by the North Korean military. Over the course of several missions, you'll battle through the streets of the fictional Hajin City, explore a snow-covered wasteland in North Korea, and fight through trenches to prevent a nuclear reactor from exploding. Then there's the more traditional Modern Warfare storyline, which puts you in the shoes of the legendary Captain John Price, who is on the run after assassinating the traitorous General Shepherd at the end of Modern Warfare 3.
