Scraper no longer pulling images when scraping from OpenVGDB, using outdated URL template #258

Currently, when scraping from OpenVGDB, it attempts to pull images from GameFAQs using this URL template:

https://img.gamefaqs.net/box/X/X/X/XXXXX_front.jpg

However, several months ago, GameFAQs changed their image host URL template to:

https://gamefaqs1.cbsistatic.com/box/X/X/X/XXXXX_front.jpg

OpenVGDB was updated in December to reflect this, but it seems the scraper is still using the old URL template, resulting in no images being pulled when using OpenVGDB as a console source. Could this be fixed?
