VRV: A Site Every Geek Should Know About

VRV is a relatively recent development in the streaming world. It’s only a year or two old compared to the many years that streaming sites such as Netflix and Hulu have been around. But that’s not all that separates it from the giants of the streaming industry. VRV takes several sites which stream various different types of content and brings it all together. So besides the fact that you now have all the content from these websites in one place, it also is available for around $10 a month. This is relatively cheap when you consider each of these websites would charge around the same amount except separately.
So why should this interest us Geeks? Well, it’s because of the content they offer. VRV was originally created by Crunchyroll. If you’re not familiar with them, they’re one of the biggest websites for streaming anime. So naturally, their subscription is also included. Other big names included are Nerdist, Geek & Sundry, and even Rooster Teeth. Those aren’t the only ones though. In fact, by checking the VRV Premium and FAQ details page you can even find the full list.
It’s a great way t keep up with various different types of content out there. There’s even a subscription to Boomerang if you’re feeling a bit nostalgic for the cartoons you could only find on Saturday morning as a child. If that’s not your thing, it even has some live-action shows that are pretty good, as well.

Blizzard is developing two Diablo 4 expansions

Diablo 4’s post-launch support will keep you playing for years, according to Blizzard. General manager Rod Fergusson confirmed two expansions and free content updates.
“As I sit here, we’re about to launch the main game; we’re finishing up season one; we’re working on season two; we’re working on expansion one; we’re kicking off expansion two,” he told PC Gamer on the Kinda Funny Xcast. These two DLCs may release sooner than expected. Fergusson says the live service model lets Blizzard release content faster than Diablo III.
With tens of hours of content in the base game, Diablo 4 is massive. This could be Destiny 2 or Genshin Impact, with seasons and DLC. That thought excites or frightens you. Leave a comment and check out our Diablo 4 guide for help with the PS5 and PS4 games.

Summer Game Fest’s Geoff Keighley Says E3 Killed Itself

Geoff Keighley hosts the Summer Game Fest showcase and has been the subject of some of our most transcendent art.
Keighley commented on E3’s death and the persistent, pernicious perception that he pulled the trigger (repeatedly) just days before this year’s show on June 8.
“I think E3 sort of killed itself,” Keighley told VGC. I understand why people say [Summer Game Fest killed E3], but I think we created Summer Game Fest because I saw E3’s wheels falling off.”
Keighley’s history is inextricably linked to E3’s, making the slow-motion murder almost Shakespearean.
Here's 15-year old me at the first-ever E3 in 1995.
E3 meant so much to me and to so many of you too.
Four years ago, I realized that E3 wasn't evolving as it needed to compete in a global, digital world. So we started building what’s next. See at @summergamefest June 8. pic.twitter.com/wSZqpz3wjY

“Everyone we’ve been working with, we’ve been working with for months around Summer Game Fest,” Keighley said, suggesting that both could have existed. “So there was a world where Summer Game Fest and E3 would have co-existed, and we had talked a lot to ReedPop [the E3 event organizer] about that possibility because they were focused much more on a big trade event and consumer event, and that’s not what we were doing with Summer Game Fest.”
“I didn’t really see it as competitive; I questioned the viability of what their plan was, but if the industry wanted that and wanted to support that, I think people could have done both,” Keighley says of the possibility of E3 competing with Summer Game Fest for game announcements. Some companies considered announcing their game with us and making it consumer-playable at E3.
What’s your take on Keighley’s role? Right time, right place, or Machiavellian mastermind?
