Legendary modder akkalat85 redevelops one of his most famous additions from Skyrim to fit Fallout 4, as the Insignificant Object Remover is now available for Vault Dwellers. For those gamers unfamiliar with what the original Skyrim mod does, the Insignificant Object Remover reduces the density of any insignificant object to 0, which in turn removes them from the game while simultaneously boosting its performance. While it might not be enough to salvage a Fallout 4 run while using an on-board graphics card, akkalat85’s mod will be a welcome addition for those Vault Dwellers whose computers were struggling to run the game at a decent visual quality setting....

Perhaps fans even hoped that a new preview might show a couple more characters that made the transition from video game to the cinema, unlike Mortal Kombat game character Johnny Cage, who didn’t make it past the cutting board. The most recent snippet from the Mortal Kombat reboot film was posted by the movie’s official Twitter account and though it recycles much of the same footage seen in the trailer, it does add a few newer shots of Mileena, Cole Young, Sonya Blade, and company....

Oh, paid DLC. You just love to rear your controversial head where it doesn’t belong, don’t you? Still, a fairly substantial-looking campaign mode for Splatoon 2 is something a lot of us can get behind.
