Survivor Series 2021 Results: Live Updates, Match Card, And Surprises

Posted: 21 Nov 2021 03:00 PM PST

The annual late-November WWE PPV has arrived. Survivor Series has returned, and streaming right into your home. Coming to you from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, the event will have wrestlers from Smackdown and Raw square off against each other to determine which is the dominant brand.

Champions will face champions, and we'll see The New Day's Big E vs. The Bloodline's Roman Reigns. A feud between the Universal and the WWE Champion has been building for weeks, and we'll finally see which leader will come out on top. Additionally, Becky Lynch will take on Charlotte Flair during the course of the evening. However, there will be no championships on the line for the event.

If you're looking to watch Survivor Series, you'll need to subscribe to Peacock--or WWE Network if you live outside of the US. There is a free tier for Peacock; however, you'll need to subscribe to Peacock Premium ($5 a month) or Peacock Premium Plus ($10 a month) in order to live stream the PPV. The difference between the two is that Premium Plus is not ad-supported. However, both tiers of Peacock play the same stream of WWE's Survivor Series. Additionally, you can watch the Kickoff Show, live, for free below.

Best Black Friday Switch Deals: Console Bundle, First-Party Games, Accessories, And More

Posted: 21 Nov 2021 12:14 PM PST

Black Friday always offers the best opportunity to stock up on gaming products at steep discounts. And if you're a Nintendo Switch user (or are eyeing a console this holiday), Black Friday tends to be even more noteworthy. Nintendo games and accessories don't receive the same year-round discounts that we regularly see for PlayStation and Xbox. Now's your chance to stock up on a bunch of Switch games for less. Also, if you're looking for a Nintendo Switch bundle, Nintendo has brought back its familiar holiday bundle. We've rounded up the best Black Friday deals for Nintendo Switch.

Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle

Switch console + Mario Kart 8 Deluxe + Switch Online for $300

The Nintendo Switch holiday bundle includes Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and three months of Switch Online. The bundle costs $300, which makes it the best Switch console deal around. It's important to note that this bundle includes the updated Switch with better battery life. While Nintendo has offered this bundle every holiday for the last couple of years, you can bet that it will still sell out at major retailers. In fact, initial stock has already sold out at Amazon and GameStop. If you're interested in this bundle, you may want to grab it ASAP.

As always, you can't count on outright discounts on the Nintendo Switch by itself, but there is a chance we'll see retailer-specific bundles. In previous years, we've seen Switch and Switch Lite bundles that include additional games and/or accessories and collectibles. That said, we don't expect to see any Switch OLED deals. However, we'll likely see it in stock at major retailers throughout the week.

Nintendo Switch Black Friday game deals

While we've seen more deals on Switch games than we've seen in previous Nintendo console generations, first-party Switch games still tend to hold their retail price far longer than games on PlayStation and Xbox. Often times, $50 (10 bucks off) is a great deal for popular Switch games, but a few times a year we see even steeper discounts, including on Black Friday. There are plenty of great Nintendo Switch game deals right now, including some of the best prices we've ever seen on first-party games such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Link's Awakening, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, and more.

One Piece Has A Cookbook And We Made Meat On The Bone

Posted: 20 Nov 2021 09:00 AM PST

One Piece: Pirate Recipes


If you're pumped for the 1000th episode of One Piece--which is a huge accomplishment--then you may want to try some of the foods you've seen in the anime or manga. Luckily, Sanji--yes, the cook of the Straw Hat Pirates--has put together a collection of fine foods to server your own pirate crew.

Releasing on November 23--three days after One Piece 1000--One Piece: Pirate Recipes from Viz Media and Shonen Jump will cost $27 and deliver over 40 recipes, most of which are mentioned in the manga series. The food comes from cooking supervisor Nami Iijima.

Of course, throughout my time here at GameSpot, I can't resist taking a branded cookbook and trying to cook something. I've done it with Overwatch and WWE, so why not One Piece? At least with the One Piece cookbook, these dishes actually exists--in some shape or form--in the manga.

So, I picked out the most interesting recipe and tried to cook it myself at home: Meat on the bone. Here we go.


Recipe page


It's a simple recipe with most of the recipe page taken up by very small pictures of how to butterfly a chicken drumstick. The pictures are really hard to see, for something that needs a bit of explanation for novice cooks. There's also a giant picture of Luffy holding a meat on the bone. The font size for the recipe is incredibly small, and it's hard to read--especially if you don't have perfect vision. This recipe had very few ingredients, and I love a good Scotch egg, which this essentially is.

So the layout is a bit disappointing. But hey, that picture of the cooked meat on the bone on the right really is pretty. I had also planned on doing stir-fried bean sprouts, but the sprouts I purchased from my local grocery store were no good--like half rotten when I opened them. Anyway, let's get into the cooking.

By the way, if for some reason, you're squeamish about raw meat, just skip to the end, as there are plenty of pictures of my frustration with raw chicken.


Buy one of these silly egg cookers


Originally, I had planned to make four of these meat on the bones. That didn't happen.

The first step is cooking some hard-boiled eggs. I have one of these cheap egg cookers. It's like $20, and it plays really annoying music when your eggs are finished cooking. It just steams your eggs to the level of your liking.


Chicken drumstick, take one


The first step has you making drumstick "tulips," in which you cut some of the meat from the bone then roll it off--with the meat still attached to the bone at the end.

The first try did not go well. I couldn't get the meat to work with me, so I got frustrated, cut the meat off, then chopped the end of the bone off. It was not a fun experience, so much so that I called it a night and decided to boil the bone to save it.


Chicken drumstick, take two


The next day, I decided to try giving the tulip method one more try. Somehow, I got it to work.


Something doesn't feel right here


The next step was putting the egg inside that tuliped drumstick, and it was at this point that I realized the drumsticks I had purchased were way too big for this recipe. However, the recipe wasn't clear on drumstick size, or not much else for that matter.


Before it's cooked


So after the egg is wrapped around the drumstick meat, you wrap it in some ground chicken--I used turkey here. No, it does not look appealing one bit. Strangely enough, it was a lot of fun to make though. However, the simplistic ingrediants led me to believe this wouldn't be that tasty--as there's only a little bit of salt and pepper in the meat mixture with breadcrumbs.


Spice it up


So kicking around my kitchen I have a spice mix for Moroccan sausage. I tossed a couple teaspoons into the mix for my second meat on the bone. Here's how that one came together.


Putting it together


The actual drumstick meat was scratched for this one, and I used the bone I cooked the night before. I'm essentially doing a Scotch egg with a bone stuck in it here.


Cooking time will vary


In the recipe, it says you'll only need to cook this 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees F. My smaller version took about 35 minutes before it was fully cooked, and the larger one--which was closer to the original recipe--took 45 minutes.

The best part about this is that it just looks silly. It's a bunch of meat on a bone that very much did not come from that bone originally. It looks like cartoon meat in real life, which is pretty awesome.


Final verdict


Aside from the original stumble of trying to tulip the first drumstick, this was a pretty easy recipe to make. More importantly, it was pretty fun, as long as you don't mind getting your hands dirty--please wash your hands a lot while handling raw poultry.

The new take on the Scotch egg didn't really lead to stunning results, as the original recipe was relatively bland, but if you're throwing a One Piece party, this is the perfect thing to serve. As for my "upgraded" version, I used a bit too much seasoning, and it came off a little too salty, but it had some great spice. So maybe add some merguez spice--which is better used with lamb or beef.

Ease to make: 7/10

Taste (original recipe): 4/10

Taste (upgraded recipe): 6.5/10

One Piece: Pirate Recipes hits stores on November 23.

Call Of Duty: Vanguard Zombies: All Upgrade Locations

Posted: 19 Nov 2021 03:15 PM PST

Call of Duty: Vanguard - Zombies asks players to choose how they tackle each run. Want to go all-in on health so you can take the hits on the frontline? Or do you want to boost your movement speed so you don't take the hits to begin with? Or maybe you just want to blast zombies with a shotgun and are sick of waiting for your gun to reload?

However you feel like playing, you need to find upgrade fountains to really make the most of it. There are five of these stat upgrade fountains scattered around the map and, depending on how you want to play, you will want to access specific ones early on. The fountains don't move, thankfully, so once you know where to find one, it's fairly straightforward to return to it.

But, if you find yourself forgetting how to get to the yellow glow of the Aethereal Haste fountain or can't quite remember where the green Demonic Frenzy bubbler is, we've got you covered. In this guide, we'll show you where each fountain is using landmarks and the minimap. First though, we should go over the upgrade stations that are accessible from the beginning of each run.

Apex Legends Doesn't Need PvE Elements In Its Battle Royale

Posted: 19 Nov 2021 02:46 PM PST

Apex Legends Season 11: Escape is well underway, bringing with it some new gameplay changes and elements. Season 11 adds playable legend Ash, the C.A.R. SMG, and a new map, Storm Point. Storm Point boasts a tropical environment and brings with it more PvE elements, which unfortunately don't add much value to the primarily PvP-driven battle royale.

Apex Legends has dabbled with PvE elements in the past, with the Bloodhound's Trials point of interest on World's Edge and Season 5's Quest missions, however, Storm Point features multiple areas across the map with mobs to fight, the first map to ever do so. The problem with these PvE encounters is that the rewards are not worth the time required nor are they challenging enough to actually be meaningfully engaging. In its current state, Apex Legends doesn't need more PvE elements.

Across Storm Point, you can encounter packs of prowlers or spider nests, where a group of either enemy can attack you. Prowlers pursue you and attempt to bite you, while spiders only partially close the distance before shooting you with webs. As neither of these enemy groups ever changes up their strategy, it results in repetitive encounters that aren't much more than a boring shooting gallery. The spiders die quick enough, but the prowlers can be bullet sponges, wasting full clips of ammo if you don't have a magazine attachment. And the rewards you get for fending them off don't exactly make up for it.
