Monday 7-2-18: Fortnite’s Dimensional Rift, Nintendo Trademarks Gamecube, and SGDQ Results

Monday is back! I’d say I missed you Monday, but I’d be lying. Also it’s July now. Here’s the news.

  • Fortnite’s Dimensional Rift
  • Nintendo Trademarks Old Stuff
  • SGDQ Raised Over $2 Million

Fortnite is Broken, Dimensionally Speaking


The rocket launch was an overall success. Tons of people got together to peacefully watch as a rocket blasted off the map and into the sky. Aside from a booster crashing down, another thing has changed on the Fortnite world now, and it’s far stranger. A dimensional rift has opened up in front of the Lonely Lodges, and it’s getting bigger. While it started out as a simple crack in space-time, it has now grown, having “eaten” the sign for the lodge. Even worse, another crack has appeared in the area. What does this mean? I don’t know. But we now have our next Fortnite conspiracy to look forward to.

Nintendo Trademarks


First discovered by japanesenintendo.com, Nintendo has filed for a number of new trademarks, most notably is the video game usage of the Gamecube. It’s not clear what this means exactly, They might simply be protecting their property. It might also indicate that they are looking to start publishing Gamecube games on the Nintendo eShop for the Switch. Virtual Console Gamecube games have been a long requested feature by fans, and the Switch is likely powerful enough to emulate it. Time will tell.

SGDQ Results


Summer Games Done Quick has concluded, and the numbers are in. The week-long live stream charity event has raised $2,122,529.20 for Doctors Without Borders. This beats out last year’s score of $1.7m. I THINK this is also a new record, though I’ll have to double check that. Either way, I’m glad to see such wholesomeness come out of this. I love the GDQ events and wish them a prosperous future.


That’s all for today! Tune in tomorrow for more news. I also plan to get a new guest review up soon, so sit tight. Otherwise, have a great day!
