After the recent release of State of Decay 2 on PC and Xbox One, the title has racked in over one million players in just the first two days of release.

The game is currently available to those who have the Xbox Games Pass, which means that this number doesn't necessarily account for the number of game sales. Microsoft and Undead Labs have also released more statistics from the time frame of May 18 to May 22nd, combining the hours of all the players, State of Decay 2 has been played for a collective of 6 million hours.

According to Undead Labs and Microsoft, 675 million zombies have been slain, 6 million firecrackers and fireworks have been thrown, 6 million bags of snacks have been eaten and on average players have survived for three in-game days.

S.O.N will be coming to the PlayStation 4 and is scheduled for release on December 11th. Those that are interested in the title will also have a demo made available to them on June 8.

Matthew Mellon was already wealthy before the super-powered rise of Bitcoin and all of the other cryptocurrencies, but did you know that he invested $2 million of his fortune into XRP? Mellon has just died unexpectedly, leaving all of his BTC, XRP, and other cryptocurrencies stranded with no way to access them without their respective wallet passwords.

Mellon spent $2 million buying XRP because he liked that the Ripple team was working within the banking system, where at the time he said: "Crypto is scary and dark. It's anti-America. I am pro-America, pro-business and pro-bank. That's why I went with Ripple".

At the peak of XRP, Mellon's bag of Ripple was worth $1 billion and his family cannot find the password to access the funds. Mellon, up until his death, was spending $7 million a month before he was found dead in his Mexico hotel room on April 16. Mellon made a name for himself in fashion, and then made his first billion with XRP, but struggled with drug addiction throughout his life.

Mellon leaves behind a wife and three children.

AMD really raised the bar with multi-core processors with the successful launches of Ryzen and Threadripper, and while Intel sales are barely affected by it, it shouldn't stop AMD from continuing to push out new generations of these CPUs with many more cores.

The latest rumor is from WCCFTech so please take it with a grain of salt, that AMD will making the AM4 socket detect CPUs with greater than 8 cores, ushering in support for possibly 12- and 16-core CPUs. WCCFTech adds "according to private conversations we've had with incredibly knowledgeable people in the industry the actual core count figure might be closer to 12 cores" and not the 16C/32T that we're hearing with the latest rumors.

Ryzen 7 3700/X or Ryzen 7 3800/X with 12C/24T at over 4GHz would be quite the chip, quite the chip indeed. Having that type of power at the top of the Ryzen 7 mainstream lineup opens the flood gates to Threadripper ramping up to 20C/40T, 24C/48T, and even 32C/64T which will meet EPYC. EPYC can be opened up further with next-gen nodes and Zen architectures, where we will see beyond 32C/64T which will be very impressive, time will tell though.

AMD is expected to unveil the Ryzen 3000 series in 2019 with the new Zen 2 processor on 7nm with AMD saying the design on Zen 2 is complete, and that there are improvements on the original Zen architecture in "multiple dimensions". Nice touch, AMD. Expect the rumors to solidify later this year, before we begin getting full confirmation after CES 2019.

Battlefield 1942 was one of my favorite games at the time, completely changing LAN games for me and millions of PC gamers at the time, seemingly forever.

With the tease of Battlefield V last week, the DICE team shared some of their close thoughts on the Battlefield V franchise, as well as some truly amazing concept art from the game. Lars Gustavsson, the Creative Director of DICE, posted on the Battlefield website with a new article 'Battlefield V - WW2 As You Have Never Seen It Before'.

Gustavsson himself talks about BF1942, where he says: "World War 2. Some say that it was mankind's greatest conflict. For me and the original team -- who back in 1999 shared a dream to expand the shooter genre by adding tanks, planes, and naval units into one large battlefield -- WW2 was always our first choice. The result was Battlefield 1942, and it kicked off a journey I've been a part of ever since".

We all know Battlefield V will feature real-world money microtransactions, a premium currency that will be used exclusively to buy cosmetic items in-game.

EA has confirmed that Battlefield V will feature a "grind currency" that can only be earned through playing the game. This is a nice touch to the game, as it means players that don't have heaps of money to pump into the game can still benefit, but so too can those who want the premium currency.

There are gamers who see the benefits of this, and those who aren't particularly happy about the idea. For me, I'm kind of on the fence. I get what EA is trying to do, especially after all their issues surrounding microtransactions, but at the same time it's not the best way of doing things.

A new gameplay trailer has been released for ONRUSH and it reveals the titles game modes which are Countdown, Lockdown, Switch and Overdrive.

From the video we get a solid description of each of the gamemodes, starting with Countdown players will be required to race through time gates that add on seconds to the clock that is ticking down. Lockdown is a race that players will have to battle each other for control over a zone, basically this game mode is King of the Hill.

Switch will require players to survive as long as the possibly can, while at the same time hunting down opponents. Overdrive mode is just want you think it is, players will have the goal of just boosting to win.
