Love Is Blind Contestant Subtly Suggests Elden Ring Bosses For Baby Names

Crossovers, in any form of media, are always fun. Seeing characters from other IPs appearing in your favourite content is a weird, fourth wall-breaking feeling that's still enjoyable. Of course things like the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Fortnite have absolutely ruined that feeling, but every once in a while, a crossover comes along that reminds you of that old feeling again. Most recently, for me, it was the Return to Castlevania DLC for Dead Cells – but for those who enjoy reality TV, it's probably when Elden Ring featured in an episode of Love is Blind season four.

Based on a quick Whatsapp voice note from my friend, Love is Blind is like any other reality dating show, but the potential pair initially gets to know each other without seeing how the other person looks. Now, you may think that last year's GOTY appeared on the show in the background or that one of the couples tried playing it; but it's actually way better – and subtle too.

As spotted by parkenharbor on Twitter (thanks, Dexerto), on one of the episodes of season four, things seem to be going pretty well with Zack and Irina, as the two shared a meal face to face. Over the course of the meal, the topic of kids came up – specifically, names. Zack, evidently a fan of Elden Ring, subtly suggested some names that sounded awfully familiar.

“So before we were talking about names… What about Godfrey?” asked Zack. Unfortunately, Irina wasn't too fond of the name – or perhaps thought that the first Elden Lord would be too much to live up to. The suggestion was met with a simple "ew". He quickly tried his luck with Godrick, but she didn't like that either, saying she likes Zion – clearly a fan of The Matrix.

However, to Zack's delight, Irina did say that she likes Gideon. While Gideon isn't a bad name, there's a chance he might end up as a know-it-all. The comments section was filled with people joking about what Elden Ring boss they'd name their kids after – General Starscourge Radahn and Astel Naturalborn of the Void seem pretty popular.

The Last Of Us Show Confirms How The Virus Spread

HBO's The Last Of Us is well and truly off and running now, its second episode airing on Sunday night. That episode confirmed a fan theory regarding how exactly the cordyceps fungus was able to spread so quickly. Be warned if you haven't seen the first two episodes of the show, the rest of this article is teeming with pretty significant spoilers. Just hours after the show premiered nine days ago, fan theories started to swirl pointing to contaminated flour being the root of what quickly becomes an effectively world-ending pandemic. That theory was confirmed to be accurate during the opening few minutes of episode two. Another flashback, this time in Indonesia, during which a mycologist examines a flour factory worker infected by cordyceps.

MTG's Phyrexia: All Will Be One Card Lets You Kill Your Opponent In Just Two Turns

Magic: The Gathering’s next set, Phyrexia: All Will Be One, is currently being previewed. While we’ve seen all kinds of big, splashy cards, the one that’s given players the fear is, of all things, a tiny little Goblin Warrior. With just three cards and two lands, Cacophony Scamp can wipe an opponent out as early as turn two. Even more scarily, this combo works in both Modern and Pioneer, where it could give birth to a new take on the deck known as Hammer Time. RELATED: Magic: The Gathering – Phyrexia: All Will Be One Previews As noted on Reddit, Cacophony Scamp is an unassuming 1/1 Goblin Warrior costing just one red mana. It doesn’t have haste, but it does have two big upsides: it can sacrifice itself once it’s dealt combat damage, and when it dies, it deals damage equal to its power to any other target. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY With these two abilities, Cacophony Scamp becomes an absolute fiend when paired with the Hammer Time staple

Fired WoW Lead Says Blizzard Is Being "Torn Apart" By Bosses

A fired World of Warcraft lead engineer has spoken out after news of his termination was leaked last night. According to both the initial report and his own testimony, Brian Birmingham was fired after he failed to meet a quota on negative employee evaluations, with bosses requiring him to mark down five percent of the coworkers he assessed. Birmingham, who was the lead software engineer on Warcraft Classic, worked at Blizzard for 17 years prior to his dismissal. Now that the news is public, Birmingham is using the opportunity to shed some light on the working conditions within the company, suggesting that little has changed in some areas, even after allegations of abuse in the workplace were made public in 2021.
