Pokémon is the video game/card game/TV shows of catching ’em all, but there are just too many. And with the popularity of pack openings, the Pokémon TCG has maintained immense popularity over the years, meaning more and more cards to collect all of the time. This deal, which gets you 36 packs at a discount rate, will help even out the odds into your favor. Right now, as part of Black Friday toy deals, you can get the 36-count Scarlet and Violet: Paradox Rift Booster Display Set for just $114, not $130. That’s a savings of $16, or about four of these (also discounted). To shop this deal, which essentially nabs you four extra free packs, just tap the button below and check out.

Why you should buy the 36-count Scarlet and Violet: Paradox Rift Booster Display Set

The big deal with the set is that it has 36 packs and they are discounted. Ultimately, this box is just like the ones you see in the store that hold single packs. Like with most trading cards, it is what’s on the inside that counts, not the packaging. Also remember that each pack has 10 cards, so you’re getting 10 x 36, or 360, Pokémon cards from the pack.

So what can you find in a Paradox Rift pack? This time around, we see old favorites like Mewtoo and Garchomp, but “terastallized” with new types, allowing for never before seen strategies with old pals. At the same time you’ll also meet mysterious artificial future Pokémon. And then there are the cuties, like the absolutely adorable Tandemaus, who’s only attack move is to Tumble Over. In the background art of many of the cards, we see imagery from Paldea’s unique “Area Zero” region, letting us understand more about the Pokémon world. The full set has over 180 cards to collect.

If you’re ready to get more invested in your Pokémon collection this year, just tap the button below. It’ll take you to the store page for the 36-count Scarlet and Violet: Paradox Rift Booster Display Set, which you can get for just $114 right now. That’s a savings of $16, or about the same as four during this sale.

Where to find the cartographer in Emerald Stair in Avowed

You will probably have a good grip on all the tips and tricks needed to beat Avowed by the time you reach the second zone, Emerald Stair. However, no matter how many abilities you have or how good your gear is, finding a missing person with just a vague hint never gets any easier. We already helped Sanza find a missing cartographer in Dawntrail, but he has lost another in Emerald Stair and needs us to track them down. Like last time, the Avowed won't tell you where to go so we explored the entire region to show you exactly where to track them down.
Where to find the cartographer in Emerald Stair

The first cartographer quest at least gave you the general direction to find them, but this time we are only given the name of the area within Emerald Stair. The area in question is called Naku Tedek and is the isolated island on the south end of the map.

3 PlayStation Plus games to play this weekend (March 14-16)

The PC version of Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut.

The beginning of March was light in upcoming PS5 games, but the long-delayed Assassin's Creed Shadows is right around the corner. But we still have an entire weekend to fill before it comes out, which is where your PlayStation Plus subscription pays off. The Essential games for March were incredibly strong, but the back catalogue of Extra and Premium games has the perfect selection to get you excited for all the biggest upcoming video games, like Death Stranding 2. Or, it could be the perfect way to find a fun, bite-sized game to hold you over until next week's releases hit and dominate your time. As always, I have hand-selected only the best games in PlayStation Plus for you to play this weekend.

Even before Shadows was announced, Ghost of Tsushima was touted as being the Japanese AC game that Ubisoft should have made years ago. While that is a reductive way to frame it, there's no denying there are similarities, and the two will be directly compared. Whether you plan on playing Shadows or not, Ghost is a magnificent game that still boasts some of the best graphics on PS5. Exploring the vibrant island of Tsushima as you follow the wind and animals rather than waypoints gives you a deep appreciation for the world you're fighting for. If you missed out on the Director's Cut content, jumping back in for the Iki Island DLC is perhaps the best part of the experience.

3 Xbox Game Pass games to play this weekend (March 14-16)

Assassin's Creed Odyssey review

Game Pass serves many functions as a service. Some use it to play the best Xbox Series X games on release, others lean on it between games, and everything in between. One of our favorite ways to take advantage of the massive Game Pass catalog is in preparation for upcoming Xbox Series X games. Whether it be playing previous games in a series to get caught up, or games in a similar genre to get in the mood, Game Pass has what you're looking for. We have our eye on Assassin's Creed Shadows next week just like you, but what about this weekend? Here are the best Xbox Game Pass games to boot up over the break.

All the best Assassin's Creed games are on Game Pass, but we feel Odyssey is the best of them since transitioning into RPGs. Historically, this is the earliest game in the timeline, though that doesn't matter much since there are only loose threads connecting the games at this point. What does matter is how vast and enjoyable a world this is to explore. It isn't quite as bloated as Valhalla and will get you back into the groove of parkouring, stealthing, and fighting all over again. The story here is also one of the best in the series if you have the time to go all the way with it. But even just dabbling in it so you don't get burned out before Shadows is a great way to prepare yourself.
