Despite some early performance issues, particularly on PC, *Borderlands 4* has been a huge success for Gearbox Software, selling 2.5 million copies in less than two weeks. Positive reviews helped drive sales, but the game’s launch wasn’t without problems. These issues led to some friction between Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford and players, with Pitchford even suggesting dissatisfied customers request refunds. Despite these difficulties, many players are still enjoying *Borderlands 4* and have even discovered unique ways to move around the game’s world.

Once you finish the tutorial on Isle of Grom, you’ll start the San Van Full Pull Tour and learn about Quick Drop. You’ll begin with just a few items, such as a ramp and a simple rail. But as you gain reputation in neighborhoods, finish challenges, and open boxes, you’ll unlock even more items.

In *Dying Light: The Beast*, players can find a safe zone at the Gas Station Voltage Pole, located in the Industrial Park area, just north of Old Town.

I was so excited when I found out about Dipplin in the Teal Mask DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet! It’s a new way to evolve Applin, alongside Flapple and Appletun. You need to give Applin a Syrupy Apple, which you can buy at the apple stall in Kitakami, to get a Dipplin. But here’s the cool part – if Dipplin learns the move Dragon Cheer and levels up, it evolves into Hydrapple! You get TM226 to teach Dragon Cheer after beating Drayton in the Indigo Disk DLC, and then you can make as many copies as you need at the Pokemon Center. It’s a bit of a process, but totally worth it to get a Hydrapple!

While no location in Act 3 quite matches the profitability of this one, there are a few other good farming spots that don’t require much effort or investment. The most rewarding of these is described below.

Both *Spider-Man* and *Avatar: The Last Airbender* are hugely popular franchises, and fans were thrilled to see them added to *Magic: The Gathering*’s Universes Beyond. However, both sets broke with a long-standing *Magic: The Gathering* tradition: neither included preconstructed Commander decks. This came as a surprise and disappointment to many players. Fortunately, Mark Rosewater, a representative and head designer for *MTG*, has indicated that future Marvel-themed sets might include them.

As a long-time Magic player, I’ve always been amazed – and a little intimidated – by how pricey the Vintage and Legacy formats can be. A lot of that comes down to those original dual lands from the game’s early days. Vintage, though, really takes the cake, adding incredibly rare and expensive cards like the ‘Power Nine’ to the mix. Honestly, building a competitive Vintage deck usually costs upwards of $10,000, and can easily hit $20,000 or more – that’s a huge barrier for most of us. Legacy is a bit more reasonable, typically around $4,000 to $6,000. So, when I heard that someone actually *won* a major tournament with a Mono Red Burn deck that cost less than $50 to build, I was blown away! It’s a seriously impressive underdog story.
