The MASSIVE new Monster Hunter DLC – Monster Hunter: Iceborne is out now and it is amazing! We really got our teeth stuck into this one! If you’re a fan of Monster Hunter series you know exactly what you are getting yourself into and this new DLC is nothing short of fantastic! The Iceborne DLC brings players a whole new world, even more powerful monsters to hunt and challenging master rank quests! A brand new quest rank for seasoned players!
Monster Hunter: Iceborne: Summary
The Monster Hunter:Iceborne DLC is basically a brand new game in the form of a DLC pack, it’s so big!
The game revolves around the Research Commission noticing something unsual about a flock of Legiana fleeing from the Ancient Forest. They board the Third Fleet’s airship and cross the sea in pursuit of them. It is here where they discovered a new land, a new land which is locked beneath snow and ice. The Research Commission then embark out into the ice cold region known as the “Hoarfrost Reach”. A new region completely unexplored and home to new monsters, and endemic life will be one of the Commission’s most important goals.
New Life
The new land that you have discovered, Hoarfrost Reach is a cold, inhospitable region. It’s covered in tons and tons of snow and ice. From the outside it looks inhospitable. Yet it is teeming with unique and endemic life.
Hoarfrost Reach has a variety of different areas to explore. You’ll uncover more and more parts of the map as you continue investigations. As you do so you’ll soon discover that the Hoarfrost Reach is the largest locale in MonsterHunter: World!
While unearthing different areas of the Hoarfrost Reach you’ll discover things such as Popo’s. Popo’s are herbivores with a thick coat which help fight against the cold. They are generally docile, but will run off in a heard if you attack them. Yet, the adult males of the pack will protect their offspring with their tusks if provoked.
The snow is so thick, it will sometimes reach your waist. Therefore it is up to you to pick hot peppers to craft into hot drinks to keep warm. Not only that a lot of the area is formed of layers of icy walls. Be careful of unsure footing and narrow passes. It may look beautiful but it can also take your damage you if you are not careful.
Velkhana: An elder dragon with the power to freeze all in its path.
According to ancient legend, it can freely control the cold, and unleash an icy blast of breath.
Brachydios
This marine-blue brute wyvern uses its saliva to prime the sticky slime coating its massive arms, rendering it highly explosive.
Barioth
The snow-white flying wyvern with huge tusks found in the frozen tundra. It uses its forelegs and tail to traverse ice with ease.
There are LOADS more Monsters you can see them by visiting Monster Hunter: Iceborne’s official website here!
Evolved Hunting Actions
In Monster Hunter: Iceborne you have got access to a whole new set of Hunting Actions! You have access to brand new moves, slinger combos and much more!

Ever want to use your slinger whilst you have your weapon unsheathed? Now you can! Regardless of what weapon you have! There’s a whole heap of new weapon moves available to you in Iceborne which you can view videos of each one by clicking here!
Raider Ride!

During our recent show with Julia Hardy we discussed what it’s like for actors to embody their characters. We discussed about the usual suspects. The Di Caprio’s, the Christian Bale’s, Heath Ledger and Jack Nicholson. We then discussed how “insane” the Jim Carey went when he took on the role of Andy Kaufman in Jim And Andy.
Jim and Andy is a behind the scene’s look at how Jim Carey took on the persona of Andy Kaufman. Embodying him in his every day life and not leaving the character after a days shooting. It showed the real impact of what it’s like for method actors. How serious they take their craft. Furthermore it showed the lengths that actors will go to, to create real genuine pieces of art.
Plot
Director Chris Smith’s fascinating deep dive into actor Jim Carrey’s time spent portraying famed and complicated comedian Andy Kaufman. Using approximately 100 hours of footage shot on the set of Man on the Moon documenting Carrey’s transformation into Kaufman for four months. Jim Carrey earned critical acclaim and a Golden Globe for the performance, but many of the production’s most Kaufmanesque moments played out behind the scenes, thankfully captured on video by Andy’s former girlfriend, Lynne Margulies and former writing partner, Bob Zmuda. In Jim & Andy, Carrey looks back at the resulting footage 18 years later, reflecting on how he and Andy came up in oddly parallel universes, his experience channelling Andy and Tony and more broadly the spiritual journey of his career. (Rotten Tomatoes)

Julia Hardy stopped by recently and spoke about a whole heap of things. We spoke a lot about video games but we also spoke about an event that she went to with Marcus. It’s called the Video Game Game Show Show.
The Video Game Game Show Show is basically a comedy show where players get to take their phones to an event and play a bunch of retro video games and answer questions.
You can check out an example of the type of the show above, by viewing a previous live YouTube event above!

So, Nintendo are re-releasing the Nintendo Switch. However, this time, it’s smaller, lighter and more of a handheld than ever before. It’s called Nintendo Switch Lite.
How? Well, the Switch Lite is designed for handheld play, making it easier to play games when you are out and about.
The difference between the Lite and the bigger Switch is that the controllers are built into the controller. While this may be a disappointment to some, for others it makes it a lot easier to play. Not only because it has a control pad on the left hand side instead of buttons.
HD Rumble has been removed, as has the IR sensor and the screen has been reduced from 6.2 inches to 5.5inches.
Games such as 1,2 Switch and Mario party won’t work with the Nintendo Switch Lite because of the non detachable joy-cons. Plus games that are work in handheld mode are the only games that work.
Much like the larger Switch you can play up to 8 Nintendo Switch and Lite systems together to play multiplayer games and you can also play online using the Lite with a Nintendo Online membership.

So, Joker has been getting some rave reviews from critics at the Venice film festival. With reports stating that the Joker has received an EIGHT MINUTE standing ovation.
“This is Phoenix’s film,” declared The Hollywood Reporter, “and he inhabits it with an insanity by turns pitiful and fearsome in an out-there performance that’s no laughing matter.”
Furthermore, the The LA Times gave Joaquin Phoenix high praise for his performance stating he “delivers the kind of meticulously detailed psychotic breakdown that he does better than just about any American actor now working.”
While others are criticising the film for glorifying violence and the film should come with warnings for those who watch it.
The Independent are worried that toxic men will see the film and think: “There’s nothing wrong with me. There is beauty in my chaos. I am the chaos. I am the beauty. The ends justify the means.”
Furthermore, others see the film as mirroring real life mass murderers. The Telegraph: “a movie about a mentally ill loner who triggers mass violence is likely to draw parallels with the recent shootings in America”.
As, The Playlist echos many feelings that the film bolsters the angry white man ethos: “You see clearly how easily it could be (mis)interpreted and co-opted by the very 4Chan/Incel/’mentally ill loner’ element it purports to darkly satirise.”
There’s a FINAL trailer for the Joker movie has recently been released and it cements what we all believed before hand. It’s INCREDIBLE! This movie will definitely win some awards at the end of the year. It will become a one of the best DC movies to date. It’s Dark. Gritty. Gruesome and fantastic!
Joaquin Phoenix looks like he is going to be a stellar Joker. He has absolutely NAILED it. Cementing himself right up there with Heath Ledger and Jack Nicholson. His interpretation of the Joker feels and looks frightening, exciting and absolutely insane. Bat Sh*t Crazy if you must. The stuff of nightmares. We’re all in!
Plot
We’re really keen to see the origin Joker story we cannot wait for the full movie!
Director Todd Phillips’ “Joker” centers around the iconic arch nemesis and is an original, standalone fictional story not seen before on the big screen. Phillips’ exploration of Arthur Fleck, who is indelibly portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix, is of a man struggling to find his way in Gotham’s fractured society. A clown-for-hire by day, he aspires to be a stand-up comic at night…but finds the joke always seems to be on him. Caught in a cyclical existence between apathy and cruelty, Arthur makes one bad decision that brings about a chain reaction of escalating events in this gritty character study. (Warner Bros)
As you can tell we’re very excited by this movie and keep an eye on HowToKillAnHour.com.

This movie looks hilarious! It’s called Jojo Rabbit and is all about a German Boy has an idiotic friend. That friend turns out to be Adolf Hitler. Jojo Rabbit is described as an American black comedy drama film. Judging from the trailer, it certainly is dark! On the wider sense of things, dark comedies usually tend to make fun of something that is taboo and difficult discuss. But as a result making it easier to discuss. While we’ve only seen a trailer to Jojo Rabbit. It certainly seems like it’s going down that route!
Writer director Taika Waititi (THOR: RAGNAROK, HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE), brings his signature style of humor and pathos to his latest film, JOJO RABBIT, a World War II satire that follows a lonely German boy (Roman Griffin Davis as JoJo) whose world view is turned upside down when he discovers his single mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a young Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their attic. Aided only by his idiotic imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler (Taika Waititi). Jojo must confront his blind nationalism. (FOX Searchlight)

Nintendo UK alongside the government-funded Digital Schoolhouse (DSH) programme are holding a Super Smash Bros tournament. Yes you read that right, a Super Smash Bros School Tournament.
The idea behind this initiative is to give school children a taste of the wider industry. Which includes the various roles from within the gaming industry. The DSH programme works with a total of 55 schools nationwide. Nintendo will help them run a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Team Battle. The schools themselves will initially run an in-house tournament to find their best players. Then the top teams from each school will go on to face each other in a grand final. Sounds pretty cool right! Where was this when I was a kid?!
This isn’t just some small time tournament either. It will be run in the form of a proper eSports show. Therefore important roles such as team management, production and commentators will be there. Nintendo will be providing all of the equipment and materials required too. The hope with this is that it will reach at least 60 schools and 6,000 pupils.
“uniquely combines computing, fun, creativity and innovation, all of which are synonymous and at the heart of Nintendo’s values […] we want to be able to provide young adults with fun and unique experiences that will form positive lasting memories as well as foster the development of skillsets within students which they can take with them into their future.” Kalpesh Tailor, Nintendo UK’s head of communications
Schools can sign up to the Super Smash Bros School Tournament via the DSH website, so ask your teachers nicely! Then if selected schools have from September 2019 until February 2020 to run their in-house tournaments to determine their best team.
After the ‘heats’, from February/March 2020 each of the winning teams from each of the schools will compete in regional qualifiers. Then there’s a North vs South Semi Final. The North/South qualifier will see the teams face-to-face at a single venue. So at this point it gets pretty serious. The event is run by presenters, casters, and various other eSports / production roles for students.
Until it comes to the final. In April 2020, it will be held at the London Games Festival.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Team Battle isn’t the only game getting DSH love. Nintendo UK are working with them to create 2 further workshops using the Switch. The games are Super Mario Maker 2 and Labo. These games will teach parts of the curriculum. Though there isn’t much details on what yet.
A total of 6 Australians have been arrested in connection with Counter-Strike Tournaments and match fixing.
The investigation began into CS:GO match fixing in March. After a betting agency tipped off the police of some suspicious activity. The Victoria Police released a statement:
“It’s alleged that players were arranging to throw matches and subsequently placing bets on those matches,” Victoria Police
A total of 4 men have been arrested and a total of 5 matches were affected. An additional warrant was executed by Western Australia police in Perth, however no arrests were made. While 2 more arrests were made in Mount Eliza.
“Esports is really an emerging sporting industry and with that will come the demand for betting availability on the outcomes of tournaments and matches.
These warrants also highlight that police will take any reports of suspicious or criminal activity within esports seriously, and we encourage anyone with information to come forward.”
Neil Paterson. Assistant commissioner of Victoria Police
All of the men that were arrested have been “released pending further inquiries”
Continuing the investigation are detectives from the Organised Crime Intelligence Unit alongside the Sporting Integrity Intelligence Unit. In an effort to prevent this from happening again, Sportsbet and other betting outlets are helping too.
