Enter CacoFrendo, a mod for the original Doom that lets you pet the Cacodemon until he becomes your pal and fights on your side.

That’s why the idea of tackling the game’s die-rise-repeat formula without taking a single hit and never levelling your character’s runes is pretty dang impressive. Well,Elden Ringstreamer Ainrun managed to do that, and didn’t skip the Grafted Scion boss like other streamers. Nice. Ainrun finally took out Elden Ring’s final boss in the wee hours of July 10th, but he’d only started two and a half hours before....

Alice0’s cycling tour of video games enters Los Santos The game I’ve done the most virtuacycling in is named after a whole other form of transport, but it is also a great place to ride a bike. When I’m visitingGrand Theft Auto Onlinefor funsies, just to watch mayhem unfold, I like to do it atop a BMX. Sure, everyone in Los Santos wants to murder me, but players are a little friendlier when you’re pulling sikk tricks....
