GTA 5 Franklin Voice Actor Clears the Air After Calling Out Twitch Star Kai Cenat for Allegedly Breaking Promise to a Young Fan

Image
The voice actor behind GTA 5’s Franklin went viral after revealing his personal disagreement with famous Twitch steamer Kai Cenat, but the two stars are on good terms again. Shawn ‘Solo’ Fonteno is the voice behind one of Grand Theft Auto ’s most iconic characters, Franklin Clinton. He made an appearance on Kai Cenat’s Twitch stream as a special guest back in 2024, where he took the influencer on a tour of the neighborhoods in Los Angeles that appeared in the game’s fictional city of Los Santos. However, Solo said this was likely the last stream he’d ever do with Cenat due to the broadcaster’s interaction with a young fan that happened during their outing. In a September 2026 episode of the Dope As Usual podcast, Solo explained that Kai Cenat approached a young fan during the stream who came from a struggling family. According to Solo, Cenat had offered to buy the fan a motorcycle — but Solo says he never made good on that promise. “This was a family that didn’t have much at all, bro...

Marvel's Wolverine Offers Up a Canonical Explanation for Why Logan's Costume Regenerates

Image
Marvel's Wolverine explains why Logan's clothes can heal, just like his body. Near the beginning of Marvel's Wolverine, Logan is gifted a proper superhero suit from Walter Langkowski. It's Wolverine's signature suit from the comics, cowl and all. Langkowski explains that his suit utilizes nano-tech, which can autorepair Logan's suit in the field. It's a clever workaround to make sure Wolverine's suit doesn't get shredded to the point of no return, leaving him to run around in the nude (though, that's not really out of character, either). However, this isn't just any ordinary nano-tech: it's Phalanx. In Marvel lore, Phalanx are a cybernetic species that go up against the X-Men and other heroes. They use their techno-organic lifeforms to infect other species and create a hivemind. Whether this has any larger implications remains to be seen, but it's likely more of a fun way to explain things to fans using established material from the ...

Marvel's Wolverine Lets You Have Full Control Over Slow-Motion Options for Cinematic Gameplay

Image
Marvel's Wolverine has an option that lets you control the speed of the game, allowing for hyper-cinematic slow-motion action. Insomniac Games has created an expansive accessibility menu for Marvel's Wolverine, and in it, there's an option to control game speed. You can map this to any button you want on your controller, allowing you to toggle between normal speed and whatever secondary speed you want. One player chose to map this to their D-pad, allowing them to slow the game down to 30%, creating a slow-motion effect. This allows you to have more control over how the action is presented in the game and create more cinematic moments, letting a splash of blood slowly wash across the screen or have Wolverine drill his claws into an enemy before ramping the speed back up. I button mapped the Game speed to 30% on left D Pad and DAWG…..THIS SHIT A MOVIE!!! 😭👏🏾🔥 #wolverineps5 pic.twitter.com/dZgkOhE7dX — ZANI (@thegreatestzani) September 15, 2026 It's very Zack S...

Plants vs. Zombies: The Board Game Prepares to Launch on Kickstarter

Image
PopCap's popular, long-running PvE video game series Plants vs. Zombies is getting the tabletop board game treatment, courtesy of Mantic Games. The project is set to launch on Kickstarter on October 14. Mantic, who has previously adapted numerous IPs to tabletop including Worms, Halo, Hellboy, The Walking Dead, and Invincible, describes the adaptation as "a fast-paced co-op tabletop game that captures the comedy and chaos of the series." It's for 1-4 players (just like the video games) in which "players work together to overcome a series of increasingly challenging levels, each featuring unique setups, objectives, and Zombie hordes to defeat. It'll be a card-based game where cards have unique effects when played. There will be Plant cards, with examples given of firing off the Peashooter plants or exploding Cherry Bombs. These will be joined by Tool cards like a shovel that can reorganize your garden's defenses or a lawnmower that can cut down a lane of ...

Marvel's Wolverine Actor Liam McIntyre Isn't Fazed by Players' Brutal Comments About the Game

Image
Wolverine actor Liam McIntyre has seen what fans are saying about him and Insomniac's latest superhero game, but it's no skin off his nose. Marvel’s Wolverine is out in the wild for many players worldwide, and opinions have been strong, to say the least. Discourse around the game has been unavoidable over the last month, with a vocal swath of players taking issue with Insomniac’s art direction, character design, and gameplay segments that were shown off by the media and early reviews. One of the core topics of the Wolverine debate is actor Liam McIntyre, who plays the game’s titular character. Some fans don’t believe he bears a close enough resemblance to the iconic mutant, while others feel that Insomniac’s face scans and art style didn’t do his visage justice. McIntyre has been excitedly posting about his role as Wolverine ever since his involvement was first announced, and some players have just now realized that he’s been seeing what they’re saying about him on social me...

Wardogs Players Are Avoiding One of the Game's Factions Because It Has a Stigma of Attracting the Stupidest Players

Image
Wardogs players are avoiding the game's Lonestar faction, as they seemingly attract the worst players and lose the most games. There are three playable teams in Wardogs: a blue team (Lonestar), a red team (Valkyra), and a green team (Manticore). The different teams don't really have any major gameplay effects, but there is a stigma around Lonestar. For whatever reason, Lonestar has a really difficult time accomplishing much of anything in Wardogs. The team tends to attract the worst and newest players, leading to a major handicap for players on that team. There are a lot of theories as to why this is happening, with one being that it's the first option, so new players pick it by default. Other teams also fill up extremely quickly because of the stigma, meaning more inexperienced players who don't know any better are sometimes shut out of having other options. One player on Reddit noted that some matches have delayed starts, simply because some players refuse to pick L...
