Fallout 4: Feeling Heroic Thanks to the Music of Lynda Carter

Feeling Heroic Thanks to the Music of Lynda Carter

Former Wonder Woman actress Lynda Carter has a unique spot in Fallout 4, not as a typical voice actress but as a musician. If you didn’t know it already, Carter has a Grammy award winning band. Not only will their music be spotlighted in-game, but Carter will also play the role of Magnolia, a singer in the town of Goodneighbor.

Paulow3b’s Jill Valentine Topples MorriDoom at Treta 2015

This past weekend was a big one for fighting game tournaments. Players across the Americas had plenty of options for partaking in high-level competition in whatever game they fancied, whether by heading up north to attend Canada Cup, making it out to Detroit for Youmacon, or even migrating south to Curitiba, Brazil for Treta 2015.

With the talented Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 players spread out across multiple events, supporters of 3v3 beat downs had plenty of action to catch at any given moment, and certainly no shortage of Morrigan and Doctor Doom making it into grand finals matches. While Canada Cup viewers were spared this bullet hell team in the grand finals setting, Youmacon viewers were not thanks to TMP|Chris G and PAG|Cosmos. Those tuning into the Detroit-based tournament were treated to a straight-up Morrigan/Vergil/Doom mirror. That’s a lot of Soul Fists.

Down in Brazil, however, SOA|Ácido’s own Morrigan and Doom shell was being backed into a corner by Paulow3b’s Jill Valentine.

The best way to deal with the sort of pressure that Paulow3b brings to a fight is to keep Jill from getting started; give her a sea of spectral skulls to wade through and see if she can still get the job done. Well, she could and she did. After years of dedication to his beloved Resident Evil character, Paulow3b ended up taking the tournament in an impressive set that you can check out below.

Crush the Competition with These Devastating Street Fighter V Combos

Street Fighter V’s Crush Counter system should make players think twice about throwing out unsafe moves. The simple whiffing of a dragon punch–which is never a good idea anyway–can now turn into a loss of at least half a bar of health or more depending on which character is delivering the blows.

To demonstrate the raw power of this mechanic, the folks at TeaMandem put together a video covering some crushing options for every cast member that was playable during the second beta phase. Like most things from the last testing period, none of this is guaranteed to appear in the final release, but it may get the juices flowing for ideas of your own.

For a full breakdown of how the crush counter system works, be sure to head back and check out Bafael’s video covering the topic.
