MissMikaa is the streamer wholast weeksimultaneously beatElden Ringwith a controller and a dance mat, which should give you some clue as to how he rendered canine assistance....
Wot The Lion’s Song devs did next I did not expect the next game fromThe Lion’s Songdevs Mi’pu’mi Games to be a turn-based tactical folktale, but cor,Howlsure does tick a heck of a lot of boxes for me. Due out later this year, you play a deaf hero in search of a cure to a sinister ‘howling plague’ that’s devastated the land around you and turned all its inhabitants into blood-thirsty beasts - and having played its first chapter last week, its combination of tight planning, grid-based shoving and limited ammo a laInto The Breachis very, very moreish indeed....
“Got banned on a game that I’ve played once" Free to play fantasy MMO RPGLost Arkgot a bit too happy with its banhammer over the weekend, with lapsed players taking to the game’s Steam page to complain that they’d been banned for no reason other than inactivity. Players, or at least former players, of Lost Ark left more than 1300 negative reviews of the game on Saturday, and more than 1000 on Sunday....
More than a decade of volunteer effort will have gone into the mod by then Right, here’s where I admit that Oblivion is my least favourite of the past three Elder Scrolls games. Even I’m stoked for Skyblivion after watching that trailer, though. Skyblivion is being worked on by a separate team to the Skywind mod, which aims to bringThe Elder Scrolls III: Morrowindinto Skyrim and shouldn’t be confused with the long-runningTamriel Rebuiltmodding effort....
The composition uses Minecraft’s note and command blocks Minecraftplayers are a creative bunch, that’s undeniable, but someone decided to spend more than three months planning out the whole of Toto’s 1982 classic song Africa using the game’s note and command blocks. Stacinator has shared their efforts on YouTube and the Minecraft subreddit for all to see. I’d encourage you to have a watch of the full Minecraft Africavideo, and wonder why Toto’s only other famous tune is Rosanna....
Admiring interesting indie games from Twitter’s screenshot celebration Every weekend, indie devs show off current work on Twitter’s#screenshotsaturdaytag. And every Monday, I bring you a selection of these snaps and clips. This week, my eye has been caught by a pleasing assortment of zippy and dramatic movements—hoverboards, airdashes, grappling hooks—but also some cute, weird, interesting, and uh I guess hypothetically erotic indies games. Come have a look! Airdashing through spooky spindly forests looks very much my bag in open-world action-RPG Jumun - Will on the Blade, which is made by a solo developer:...
According to the statistics, at least Shang-Chi is a card inMarvel Snapthat destroys any and all opposing cards in his lane with a power of 9 or above. He feels great to play, and miserable to play against. He is also, apparently, quite bad - at least according to project lead Ben Brode, who’s consulted his big statistics bank to discover that he appears in more losing decks than anyone else....
Can’t let the Americans have all the fun The US Federal Trade Commisionhas already committedto blocking Microsoft’s $69 billion Activision-Blizzard buyout, so now it’s the EU’s turn to kick up a fuss. The EU’s antitrust watchdog is nearing the end of a 90-day probe into whether Microsoft’s buyout violates antitrust laws, and they’re reportedly about to serve up a charge sheet that lays out all their beef. As with those of the FTC and other regulators, their objections are likely to centre on the likelihood of Microsoft saddling Call Of Duty with Xbox or Gamepass exclusivity....
That’s one cheap drive. Mum, get the camera! It’s finally happened - a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD is selling for less than £50. The winner of this impromptu contest is Kingston’s NV2, an expectedly budget drive that still manages to deliver some fairly impressive performance according to independent reviews. To squeak in under the £50 mark, you’ll need to use codeJAN10at the checkout at Ebay. This drive has come up a few times on various deals aggregators, and for a drive that I’ve not personally tested I’m always surprised how positive the reviews are, from commmenters and reviwers alike....
Spookier, scarier skeletons The mists of the Mistlands have settled, so viking survive ‘em upValheimdevelopers Iron Gate have decided it’s time to start cracking on their next biome update. They’re now chiselling away at the Ashlands, a volcanic “land of the dead” packed with skeletal horrors.
