MMOCulture is reporting that the Korean version of Nexon’s Hyper Universe is shutting down on November 15th after two years in service. The reasons are pretty much what you’d expect: The game didn’t gain the footing developers wanted and it was difficult to provide the service to players they expected. This only affects the Korean version with the North American / European version still in live service for the time being.

Bungie has done an about-face with Destiny 2: Forsaken. Up to now, players needed to have both the Warmind and Curse of Osiris expansions in order to play Forsaken that created a barrier of entry to players. However, in the latest This Week at Bungie, developers have admitted this was a mistake. Starting October 16, both expansion DLC will be included in a Forsaken purchase. In addition, those who bought Forsaken earlier will receive a “Veterans of the Hunt” bundle of goods.

Cooler Master has a treat for us today, this time with the ControlPad, a brand new analog macro pad launching on Kickstarter today. Why Kickstarter, you may ask? That’s because the ControlPad is a new concept in macro pads – a niche of a niche, you might say – and they need your help to bring it to market and develop software that, for the first time, isn’t just for gamers.
The Alldocube X has recently completed its crowdfunding campaign on IndieGoGo raising more than 1100% of its funding goal and coming in at $347,898. That’s a lot of money for a tablet you’ve probably never heard of before, so there’s got to be something special here, right? That’s what we figured, so we decided to dig and see if it offered anything that gamers might be interested.
The King of Fighters XIV‘s Meitenkun’s entire shtick might be that he’s sleepy (coincidentally, putting him in company with a strange archtype along with Tekken 7‘s Eliza and Guilty Gear Xrd‘s Bedman), his combos are anything but. Persona Entertainment‘s latest combo might feature largely impractical work, but individual moments — EX mid-screen loops, wall carry, etc — are not only worth learning, but genuinely entertaining to watch.
If you enjoyed these meticulous Meitenkun combos, this is apart of a larger series covering the entire cast. You can click here to see more work like this from Persona Entertainment.
