Vaseline has a new item specifcally made for gamers, as they have introduced the new Screen Block at SPF 50 for blue light

Article Summary

Vaseline launches Screen Block, a new SPF 50 product targeting gamers exposed to blue light.

The product helps protect gamers’ skin from blue light and UV rays emitted by screens during long sessions.

Developed in partnership with Umi Games, Screen Block is promoted as a must-have gaming accessory.

Ogilvy Canada and Unilever aim to raise awareness of digital skin protection for the gaming community.

Vaseline has a new item out on the marked specificvially catered to gamers, as you can now get your hands on Screen Block specifically to protect from blue light. A little known fact that’s becoming more well-known is that people who spent time in front of monitors for long periods of time aren’t just being exposed to blue light on their eyes, but UV rays generated from the device itself. (You ever see a gamer with a tan who never goes to the beach? Chances are they’ve gotten a tan from their monitors.) Worse, this can penetrate the skin even deeper with prolonged exposure. So the company has partnered with Umi Games to launch this new option for gamers to protect themselves and keep their skin healthy. We have a couple of quotes from this partnership below.

Vaseline Screen Block

“No matter the game, the 3.3 billion gamers worldwide all share a common enemy – blue light. Most just don’t know it. To shine a spotlight on this invisible reality, we didn’t just launch a campaign to raise awareness; we created a product to shield gamers’ real-life skin. This is especially important for the 25% of the gaming community who play almost 40 hours per week, and the pro gamers who train over 12 hours per day. A product like Screen Block could really save their skin. It’s a “gaming accessory” that we want to see as part of every gamer’s routine,” said Francesco Grandi, Chief Creative Officer, Ogilvy Canada

“Bringing playable brand experiences to life has been a journey fueled by creativity and collaboration. Partnering with a globally forward-thinking brand like Unilever allowed us to push creative boundaries and craft a truly immersive, joy-filled world for players. With robust promotional support from in-game integrations to strategic Creator partnerships, we’re excited to engage next generation audiences through meaningful, innovative storytelling and experiences,” said Tom Parry, President of Umi Games

Last month, entertainment mogul Clinton Sparks and Grammy-winning artist T-Pain announced The Global Gaming League (GGL), a new entertainment-driven gaming competition blending celebrity culture with competitive esports. Now, new details have emerged — including official game publishers, celebrity team owners, and the date for the league’s kickoff.

On August 4, GGL revealed it has secured licensing deals with six major publishers: Activision Blizzard, Bandai Namco, Capcom, Tetris, Ubisoft, and EA. These agreements allow the league to feature and stream a curated lineup of their games globally during its first official season, dubbed SZN Zero, which begins on August 23, 2025.

The format sets celebrity-owned teams of four against one another in matches across four game genres, with titles ranging from old-school icons to modern esports staples. Among the confirmed games are Tetris, Trackmania, Call of Duty, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, Brawlhalla, Tekken, and Rocket League.

As per the press release (via GI.Biz), the league has already attracted several well-known personalities as team owners, including wrestling legend Ric Flair, hip-hop icon Flavor Flav, TikTok creator Bryce Hall, and T-Pain, who also serves as the league’s Executive Director of Strategy.

Speaking about the project’s vision, founder and CEO Clinton Sparks said the GGL is designed to bring gamers of all ages together, something he believes the industry hasn’t yet achieved. “With these partnerships, we are able to bring game titles from different genres and eras that attract everyone to the same place,” he noted, adding that the league will spotlight every aspect of the gaming world — from developers and hardware partners to fans and players.

The GGL describes its approach as “the NFL meets WWE,” promising a spectacle that mixes high-level gameplay with entertainment flair. With global streaming plans, cross-generational game picks, and a stacked lineup of celebrity involvement, the GGL is shaping up to be a unique experiment in the evolving world of esports-meets-pop-culture.

Old School RuneScape has officially set a new all-time peak 12 years after release, with more than 240,000 players logging in.

Player tracking site misplaceditems recorded a total of 240,756 concurrent users on August 3. Later that evening, the official Old School RuneScape account confirmed the milestone on Twitter, writing that the game had “broken its peak player count,” much to the excitement of fans.

The previous record dates back to December 2024, when 231,000 concurrent players logged into play the classic MMO. However, this new spike comes at a time of renewed momentum for Old School RuneScape.

Old School RuneScape smashes player count peak

On July 23, Jagex launched Varlamore: The Final Dawn, the final chapter in the game’s latest major expansion. The update added three new explorable regions: Auburnal Valley, Custodia Pass, and Tlati Rainforest, along with a Master-level quest and a challenging new boss fight.

Players can also earn powerful rewards like the Eye of Ayak and Avernic Treads upgrades, giving PvE players new goals to grind toward.

New skilling content, risk-reward mechanics, and additional PvM encounters have also added even more variety to the game’s late-game progression.

The surge is also part of a wider trend in the MMO space. Frustration with other titles like World of Warcraft and New World has led some players, including popular streamers, to revisit or switch to Old School RuneScape.

Twelve years after launch, OSRS continues to prove popular, and its latest record is proof that the classic MMO is still growing strong.
