Tuesday 1-23-18: Saw in Dead by Daylight, John Cena as Duke Nukem, and The Million Dollar EVE Battle

Its that weird point in time that my editor refers to as “Tuesday.” Whatever that means. Here’s the news.

  • New Dead By Daylight Killer: The Pig
  • EVE: Online Preps a Million Dollar Battle
  • John Cena as a Cinematic Duke Nukem


Saw’d By Piglight
The popular asynchronous horror game is moving on their next chapter, The Saw Chapter. this game update adds a new killer, a new survivor, and a new map. The main attraction is the killer, The Pig. This character is based on the protege from the Saw movies. Her power is to move silently, placing reverse beartraps on people’s heads. I stopped watching Saw after the 3rd one, so I have no idea who she is. I do know that I absolutely hate pigs in a horror environment, they freak me the hell out. The new character is named David Tapp, and the new map is called “Gideon Meat Plant.” This new content can be purchased at the relevant marketplaces for $6.99. Check out the Video for it here.


EVE Online’s Million Dollar Battle
The popular space economy game, full of mining, transporting, building, and fighting is under some high tensions right now. Heres a quick backstory: About 4 years ago there was a massive battle between 2 of the largest alliances in the game. The battle resulted in about $300,000 worth of game assets destroyed. Since then, the victor has sold off their army and tried to KickStart a biography. Other players were strongly against this idea and tried to build up a rebellion against his empire. That fell short when their main funder was banned for association with a CS:GO gambling scandal. Even then, an impressive army was built. Now the previous victor is back with his own battalion.
Everyone is expecting another large-scale battle to take place, one approximately triple the size of the last one. So EVE is basically in the Cold War phase of things right now. You bet your boots and cats I’ll be sure to follow up on this when something happens.


John Cena as Duke Nukem
There have been rumors going around of a Duke Nukem movie, at least according to HollywoodReporter. They’re saying that the movie rights have been acquired by Paramount and is to be produced by Platinum Dunes, a company run by Michael Bay, Andrew Form, and Brad Fuller. Famous Wrestler John Cena is currently in talks about playing the titular role. This makes sense, Cena has an established history with Paramount movies. I can only pray that this actually happens. I want this almost as badly as I want the Rampage movie.


Thanks once more for reading. This was a fun news day. Be sure to check back tomorrow for whatever reportable stuff happens then. Otherwise, have a great night!
