The finalists for the 21st annual D.I.C.E. Awards are out and Breath of the Wild is contending with the likes of Cuphead, Horizon Zero Dawn, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, and Super Mario Odyssey for top honors. That said, Horizon Zero Dawn leads overall with ten nominations compared to Zelda's six.

Pro Call of Duty player: 'Everyone is gonna beat us'
Competitive endeavors foster competitive spirits. It's standard fare for competitive types to at least play the chest-beating and braggadocio parts. Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right. Or something like that.
So, it's sort of incredible to hear a professional esports player being perfectly frank about his team's chances. Ahead of the Call of Duty World League New Orleans event, Epsilon Esports' Dave Davies gave the following interview to Dextero:

The Dolls Product Lines Series - “Elizabeth" Victorian Doll Victorian Faceless "Lady" Art Doll Products
Elizabeth just loves visiting her cousins and having afternoon tea. She only gets a chance to do this once a week so she is really looking forward to her visit this afternoon. Elizabeth comes from a large family and has many, many cousins. They all made a pact several years ago that despite all their busy schedules they would always try to meet at least once a week for tea.
Elizabeth just loves going because she catches up on all the comings and goings of her cousins. Some are more actively involved in the different societal events so they have more to tell. Some are more artistically inclined so she gets to hear about their new creations. And, some love to travel so she gets to hear all about their adventures. Elizabeth is a 13" free-standing cloth and wood Victorian doll. Her arms are wire-shaped and covered. She also has a painted wood head and covered round wood base. Her inner body is made from a dowel covered with fabric and eyelet lace. Her lace trimmed slip is gathered at the waist.

Her outfit also has a lined jacket with gathered and puffed sleeves and jacket waistband. A lace & floral trimmed lined hat sits atop her mass of long curly brown hair and she is carrying a matching lace trimmed parasol.
Teas with her cousins are never boring and Elizabeth is looking forward to this afternoon's tea.

The Dolls Product Lines Series - “Flossie” Victorian Faceless "Lady" Art Doll Products
My "Flossie" Victorian doll pattern is named after my great, great Aunt Florence (who is shown in the picture below).
My great, great Aunt Flossie was born in 1882 and was the first women to go to college in our family.
She graduated from Tufts University in 1904. She then went on to be one of the first women to work for the State Department of Corporations and Taxation. She worked for the state until she retired in 1947.
My great, great Aunt "Flossie" was a true believer of women's rights, as was my Grandmother "Dee". Both women were very intelligent and were very strong women. Both were very confident in themselves and both held strong beliefs and convictions. They both were believers in women's rights. Their beliefs definitely had a profound affect on my mother which, in turn, had an affect on me.
If there ever was a truly elegant and refined lady it would have to be Flossie. With her beautiful red hair, beautifully sewn outfits and ladylike manners you can't help but feel regal when you are with her. Despite her rich appearance she does everything she can to make her guests feel like they are the most important person in her life and in her house. As a result, she puts everyone completely at ease and loves it when her guests relax and enjoy themselves. Flossie just loves to entertain, but she also loves being outside on a beautiful, sunny day. So, today she has decided to take a leisurely afternoon stroll in her 1892 Traveling Costume.
Flossie is a free-standing doll who wearing an 1892 Traveling Costume. She is wearing a beautifully coordinated outfit that has a lace trimmed dress and has a full-length lace and ribbon trimmed lined jacket with lace, ribbon trimmed and puffed up long sleeves. A decorated ribbon bow serves as a clasp for her lined jacket. Her coordinated lace & floral decorated hat is lined and elegantly frames her beautiful red hair that is tied in a puff bun. She has a painted wood head and a covered wood base. Her inner body is made from a dowel covered with fabric and eyelet lace. Her arms are wire-shaped and covered and she is carrying a bouquet of flowers with streamers.
Flossie may be the epitome of a refined and elegant lady, but she is also very intelligent and knows just the right thing to say, the right thing to do, and the right atmosphere to put her friends and guests at ease. She is a refined and elegant lady to the core.

BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle coming in June, adds RWBY's Blake Belladonna as DLC
Arc System Works has a habit of building up hype until the perennial other shoe drops and brings us down to Earth. Like Dragon Ball FighterZ, it seems rather than release a base game with a small roster and release expansions over time (the titular BlazBlue, for example), BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle will start with a "sizeable" roster and has major DLC plans down the line.
The first of which is RWBY's Blake Belladonna, who fans most likely wanted to see in the main game. She'll be one of 20 DLC fighters planned (teased by silhouettes you can view in the gallery), and the game will launch with 20 characters which have all been revealed at this point.
Here's the DLC schedule:
- DLC Character All-in-One Pack
- DLC Character: Blake Belladonna
- DLC Character Set Vol. 1: ???, ???, and ???
- DLC Character Set Vol. 2: ???, ???, and ???
- DLC Character Set Vol. 3: ???, ???, and ???
- DLC Character Set Vol. 4: ???, ???, and ???
- DLC Character Set Vol. 5: ???, ???, and ???
- DLC Character Set Vol. 6: ???, ???, and ???
- DLC Character: ???
BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle is set to hit PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC May 31 in Japan, and June 5 in other regions. Japan will get a limited edition that includes special artwork (in gallery), art book, soundtrack, and a DLC character pass. No word on whether or not this will be available in other regions, however.

An easy way to find a box of Super Mario Cereal
The Super Mario Cereal, complete with amiibo functionality, released on December 11, 2017. However, until today, I hadn’t actually seen a single box on store shelves, despite searching obsessively. Sure, it’s kind of a dumb, pointless thing, but it’s a fun, dumb, pointless thing!
It turns out that there’s a pretty easy way to track down a box of this elusive, Lucky Charms wannabe. Thanks to an Amazon user named basscow, in the customer questions & answers section of the product page, a website known as BrickSeek was brought to my attention.
All you have to do is go here, type in the sku: 545139362 and your zip code, and this neat little tool will tell you if any nearby Walmarts have any in stock. As an added bonus, it’ll even show how much of the item each store has as well. The site has a disclaimer stating that it cannot be held responsible for any incorrect information, but after purchasing four boxes earlier (For myself and my coworkers. I’m not a scalper, I swear!), the numbers were immediately updated. It’s definitely at least somewhat reliable.

'Operation Campaigns' return to Battlefield 1 and are now free for everyone
Late last year, Battlefield 1 gained a spin on its exciting "Operations" mode that was called "Operation Campaigns." This mode strung together a bunch of various objective based maps to make a pseudo-campaign out of the multiplayer mode. It featured two variations; one that played on base maps and one that required DLC. It then vanished in early December with little word.
Operation Campaigns have now made a glorious return to BF1 and DICE has even upped the ante; you no longer need to own the DLC to participate. Operation Campaigns are free for everyone and to commemorate the event (or perhaps because of this), a brand new campaign has been added to the game.
"Fire & Ice" is the latest addition to this mode and it features a cross between maps from two expansion packs. You'll be battling on "Devil's Anvil" from They Shall Not Pass and "Brusilov Offensive" from In The Name of the Tsar. This cross between the two is the reason that DICE decided to open up the game mode, since requiring both expansions would split the player base.
"This has proven to be quite a technical challenge as we have many different ‘licenses’ you can have," reads a forum post by DICE, "depending on whether you are a Premium Pass owner, or own individual standalone expansions. This challenge presented two options: continue to configure Operation Campaigns to be exclusively for Premium Pass owners, as with 'Eastern Storm', or to not require Premium Pass at all, as with 'Fall of Empires'...Our goal here is to ensure the best chance at the most populated servers we can. We feel opening up the content to all players is the best way to do this."
If you do happen to own the Premium Pass, you will get some exclusive tools on each map, but at least you won't be struggling to find players to fill matches. DICE has also lowered the win criteria, so matches should move a bit faster and demand less of your time.
