Respawn Entertainment’s Titanfall is subjected to the Mythbusters treatment in the inaugural episode of Titanfall Mythbusters, compliments of YouTuber DefendTheHouse. Hit play to have some of your pressing questions about the game answered. A few of those hard hitting questions include: Is it possible to melee smack the AI-controlled flying critters? Does a well-placed falling Titan destroy an evac ship? Can I use Vortex Shields to play ping-pong with missiles?

(Spoiler alert: The answers are No, Sometimes, and Yes.)

DefendTheHouse has no relation to the Mythbusters TV series, but the YouTuber does have a series of videos tagged with the title designed to answer random questions about popular games. Previous targets include Grand Theft Auto V, Halo 4, and multiple Call of Duty games, among others. You might not walk away with any workable strategies after watching this, but at least you’ll see Titanfall being bent and distorted in wacky, unexpected ways.

Apex Legends Season 2 launch falls flat, fails to rack up Twitch viewership

apex legends season 2 launch falls flat

Season 2 of Apex Legends was supposed to take the multiplayer battle royale shooter to greater heights — but so far has failed to meet expectations as a worthy competitor to Fortnite.

Season 2, which launched on July 2 and is named Battle Charge, altered the Kings Canyon map with the destructive arrival of Leviathans and Flyers. The new season also introduced a new character in the defense-focused Wattson, alongside an improved Battle Pass with more legendary items and new content types, the L-STAR energy-based light machine gun, and Ranked Leagues.

Best PS5 SSD deals: Add more storage to your PS5 from $120

A 2TB WD Black

When the PlayStation 5 was originally released, it had the option to expand its internal memory, which was quite small at the time at a little under 900GBs. Of course, the issue is that there weren't any SSDs that worked on the new standard the PS5 was using, so even if you wanted to upgrade, you couldn't. Luckily, since then, there have been a lot of great SSDs for the PS5 that have been released, and upgrading its storage is pretty easy and can be done by pretty much anybody, provided they have a screwdriver. So, whether you picked up a PS5 from one of the PS5 deals or already have a PS5 and want to upgrade, be sure to check out the SSDs that will work great for your PS5 below.
Our favorite PS5 SSD deal

It wasn't that long ago that you'd have to pay well over $100 to get an SSD for your PS5, and often, it'd be slower than the pricier alternatives. These days, you can buy a Samsung 980 Pro 1TB SSD with heatsink for just $120 from Best Buy, thereby saving $45 off the regular price of $165. The SSD offers speedy performance while also having its own nickel-coated high-end controller to help deliver effective thermal control. It means it won't overheat and performance won't be compromised. Being a PCIe Gen 4 SSD, you get twice the data transfer speed of PCIe Gen 3 which is useful. Offering maximum read speeds of 7,000 megabytes per second, it's a good upgrade to go alongside your existing hard drive with 1TB offering plenty of extra space at a shrewd price.

It's time to brush up on your Simlish if it's rusty because the long-awaited The Sims 5, aka Project Rene, is officially on the way. This has been the longest gap between main entries since the series began, and while we did get tons of expansions for The Sims 4 to hold us over, plus the change to it becoming free to play, we're more than ready for a new entry. Each time a new game in the franchise comes out, die-hard fans always need to have a bit of skepticism about what features will be there -- both new and returning.

We can't answer all your questions yet, but here's everything we know about The Sims 5.
