Warner Bros. did a Coyote Vs. Acme on Small Radios Big Televisions, so the dev has made it free to download

Digital preservation thoughts This is seemingly part of WB pulling a bunch of Adult Swim Games games (which they now own in one of those cascading business buyout things). In an interviewwith Game DeveloperDeery called it “kind of depressing”, and said that “when you’re working with purely digital products nothing is going to stay around for very long.” Warner Bros. are getting a bad rep for just wiping things off the face of the planet, with the headline-grabbing example of recent weeks beingCoyote Vs....

Dragon's Dogma 2's Magick Archer class makes me want to solo the game

At the very least, it helped me unglitch a griffon Yesterday I banged outthe first in a torrid trilogy of Dragon’s Dogma 2 features, centring on hands-on time with the game’s Mystic Spearhand “vocation” or class.

So if you bother to investigate things you’re more likely to find other options for progression, that kind of kidney. The emphasis here is more on shooting monsters will antique guns, and scrounging up useful bits and pieces of debris to stash in your limited inventory....
