Terrifier Is Getting Its Own Video Game & Fans Are Divided
It's a good day for fans of extreme horror flicks and a very bad day for gamers with coulrophobia: We've just learned that Art the Clown from the "Terrifier" franchise is getting his very own video game. "Terrifier: The ARTcade Game" is being developed by Relevo and published by Selecta Play. The devs have not announced a firm release date yet, but the game is scheduled to land on Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S sometime in 2025. The "Terrifier" franchise has been steadily growing in popularity since the first movie dropped in 2016, but this retro-inspired beat-em-up is Art's first solo foray into gaming (following his seasonal appearance as a "Call of Duty" skin).
The Internet Isn't Letting Jack Doherty Off The Hook
Jack Doherty nearly died when his quarter-of-a-million-dollar McLaren hydroplaned and careened off the road, but the internet pretty much has no sympathy for the 21-year-old streamer. People have a tendency to let their meanest side come out online, but everyone is furious with Jack Doherty for streaming his crash, which occurred while he was texting and driving in the rain. Things got even worse when Doherty and his cameraman, who was bleeding from the head, got out of the car. Instead of making sure his friend was okay, Doherty handed him a camera and asked him to keep filming while repeatedly yelling about the damage the crash had done to his car. Streamers reacted to Doherty's crash and ripped into him for being irresponsible. After Doherty uploaded a clipped version of the incident to social media, nearly everyone in the comments quickly called him out for removing parts of the original stream that made him look bad.
The Rarest (& Priciest) Dragon Ball Game May Be Sitting In Your Closet
Longtime "Dragon Ball" fans are feeling extremely nostalgic right about now. Everyone's been blown away by "Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero" so far, and the excitement around the new game has been bringing up warm memories of "Dragon Ball" games long past. Some of us spent countless hours playing the "Dragon Ball Z: Budokai" games with friends, mastering combos and getting repeatedly smacked into the ground until it was time to switch to a first-person shooter. It's been nearly 20 years since the "Budokai" era (yikes), and even though Bandai Namco kept making great "Dragon Ball Z" video games, very few have managed to capture the magic of the games from the early 2000s.

This article covers threats of sexual violence and stalking. It may be a dream job for so many people, but streaming is also more dangerous than anyone realizes. In particular, streamers need to be on guard about protecting their private information. It's a lesson that many big streamers have had to learn repeatedly through accidentally leaking their personal info. Pokimane recently shared a horrifying story that reminded her (and us) just how important privacy can be.
Why Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero Is Blowing Everyone Away

Altogether, the game manages to hit the perfect nostalgic note. PC Gamer's review said, "I felt right at home playing it all day, like I was 12 again and only taking breaks to watch a Vegeta x Papa Roach Last Resort AMV on YouTube." Reviewers are also celebrating the amount of content the new game has to offer, with TheGamer noting, "Even after playing 'Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero with a massive grin on my face for more than 50 hours, I feel like I've barely scratched the surface of everything that it has to offer." Professional reviewers aren't the only ones walking away from the early access experience feeling fulfilled. Longtime "Dragon Ball" fans couldn't be happier with "Sparking! Zero." Pre-orders are outselling "Call of Duty: Black Ops 6" on PlayStation 5, and it's already shaping up to be one of the best "Dragon Ball Z" games of all time.
Streamers Aren't Holding Back On Jack Doherty's Car Crash Controversy
Streamer and content creator Jack Doherty crashed his car over the weekend and reminded everyone of a very important lesson: Don't text and drive. Now other streamers are commenting on the situation, mostly to roast Doherty for being so wildly irresponsible. Doherty was live on Kick on October 5 when the crash happened. His friend and cameraman, Michael, continued filming for the stream while Doherty drove his brand new McLaren down the highway through the rain. At multiple points in the stream, viewers noticed Doherty taking his eyes off the road to check his phone. Doherty stepped on the gas and his car hydroplaned, veering out of control into the next lane of traffic, and slamming into the guardrail on the side of the road.

MrBeast Has His Death All Planned Out
MrBeast has a lot on his mind. He's working hard to keep videos coming out on his channel, still creating his Amazon Prime game show, and presumably still worrying about losing viewers after a summer filled with scandals and accusations. Even though MrBeast has so much on his plate right now, he's apparently also still found some time to consider his own mortality. The YouTuber went on an episode of Logan Paul's podcast "Impaulsive," during which he talked about his various business ventures, his approach to content creation, and the elaborate plans he has in place in the event of his untimely demise. At one point in the conversation, Paul brought up the story of fellow YouTuber Nikocado Avacado pre-filming years of videos to surprise his audience with a sudden weight loss transformation. "That seems like something you would do," KSI said to MrBeast, and the YouTuber revealed that it's something he's already done.
Palworld Fans' Dreams Are Coming True
Pretty much everyone agrees at this point that "Palworld" is an excellent and addictive survival game, and most fans are thrilled to have it on PlayStation 5. As the game lands on new platforms, some people have been wondering what it would be like if you could take "Palworld" with you wherever you go. That's a question that Pocketpair is getting ready to answer. On October 2, the company announced that it has signed a deal with games publisher Krafton to create a mobile version of "Palworld." The game is definitely in good hands: Krafton is the publisher behind "PUBG," and PUBG Studios will apparently be the primary developer for the new version of "Palworld," allowing Pocketpair to focus on the main title. It seems like a sign that "Palworld" is in no danger of slowing down.
