Hayao Miyazaki's Nausicaa Manga Box Set Gets Huge Discount At Amazon
Everyone has their favorite Studio Ghibli movie, and for many, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind is an all-time classic (even if it was made before the studio was formerly founded). If you want to further explore that legendary tale set in a distant sci-fi future, we’d recommend reading Hayao Miyazaki’s manga, which debuted in 1982 and was adapted into the hit film in 1984. Over at Amazon, you can pick up Nausicaa’s deluxe manga box set for a huge 32% discount, dropping the price from $53 to $80. The set comes with two hardcover books totaling 1,104 pages.
What makes this manga series interesting is that it was written and illustrated by Studio Ghibli’s most prominent director, Hayao Miyazaki. It had quite the run–it began publication in 1982 and eventually concluded in 1994–and this deluxe version contains two hardcover volumes with interior color pages and a bonus poster.
If you’ve never watched the Nausicaa anime film or read the manga, the gist of…
Read moreCall Of Duty- Warzone's Red Doors Are Likely More Than Just A Loot Haul
Something funny is going on with Call of Duty: Warzone’s Red Doors, and Activision continues to tease them ahead of the Season 4 Reloaded update.
Warzone’s Red Doors were added with the launch of Season 4, and initially, they were randomly spawning doors that would appear in the walls of buildings at major points of interest such as Hospital, Stadium, and Summit. Entering a Red Door instantly warps the player to a loot-filled room in another area of the map. And since players are sent somewhere completely random, it really doesn’t serve as proper fast travel. It’s just a great way to gear up with high-quality weapons and killstreaks.
However, we’re very close to the mid-season “Reloaded” update for Season 4, and now the doors are behaving differently. They’re no longer randomly spawning. All 30 known Red Door locations are now appearing in each match, but they all despawn after so many have been opened. If you’ve recently found a Red…

Read moreJames Bond's License Is To Kill, Not Mill About Yellowstone National Park
Sometimes, going off the beaten path will land you in hot water. That’s what happened to former James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan, who recently pleaded guilty to entering an off-limits area in Yellowstone National Park last year.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Brosnan will pay a $500 fine along with donating $1,000 to a nonprofit called Yellowstone Forever. The former 007 apparently left a trail in a thermal area this past November and shared photos of being in the off-limits area on social media.
On Instagram, Brosnan expressed “deep regret” for the incident. “As an environmentalist, I have the utmost respect for and love of our natural world. However, I made an impulsive mistake–one that I do not take lightly–when entering a thermal area covered in snow in Yellowstone National Park to take a photograph.”

Read moreLatest Assassin's Creed Valhalla Hotfix Available Now, Reduces Mastery Mission Difficulty
Ubisoft has released a hotfix for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, addressing issues with the scoring in the Trial of the Wolf: Odin Mine Hideout mastery challenge. This is the second hotfix to come after Title Update 1.2.2 added the new mastery challenges to the game, the first of which fixed some lingering crashing issues caused by the update.
The specific change the hotfix makes is to “reduce the scoring associated with each action required to achieve Gold in the Trial of the Wolf: Odin Mine Hideout.” This change makes it easier to achieve gold in the challenge, as players were having issues with some of the guards killing each other, making it extremely difficult to get enough kills to get gold.
