Star Wars Battlefront II (2017) receives new dedicated server browser, mod launcher, and other features from fans

Something to look forward to: Many gamers of a certain age probably miss the days before matchmaking replaced server browsers and custom servers, which let players moderate communities and stay online after developers ended official support.

Vanna White may take over Pat Sajak’s hosting gig after all if the rumors about Ryan Seacrest’s spelling capabilities are true.

That’s because, apparently, the future Wheel of Fortune host isn’t a good speller.

Following Season 41 of Wheel of Fortune, Ryan will be filling Pat’s shoes as the new host of the popular weeknight game show, and being a good speller is kind of important, given the nature of Ryan’s upcoming role.

Anyone who has ever watched Wheel of Fortune knows that it involves one basic principle: how to spell.
