Hive Time is an obscure gem that squeaked into the very end of last year. It’s a game where you be bees. Now it’s part of what will surely be forever called simply The Bundle, mentioned only in hushed, reverent tones. Over 1000 developers have donated their games to the Bundle For Racial Justice And Equality, and they can all be yours, to keep, DRM free, for as little as £4/$5....
LG 24GL650 - £192 from Ebuyer (down from £202) I should note that I haven’t tested this exact model personally, but its official G-Sync Compatible certification provides a lot of reassurance when it comes to overall image quality. Not only does it mean that this AMD Freesync screen will work brilliantly with Nvidia graphics cards, but Nvidia also don’t certify panels that don’t meet their high colour reproduction criteria, so I’m pretty confident this display’s TN panel should look pretty good if you decide to take the plunge....
If you’d like to give it a go, you’ll need to open up Battlefield 2042, head into Portal, then select the “Host” tab. Scroll over to “Experience code”, then bung in: AAJY99. And don’t worry about other people joining your match, as it’s a solo-only affair. Honestly, I’m so taken by Andy’s Wingsuit Trainer because it’s not your bog standard Battlefield 2042 shootybang. So often I browse the servers and there’s just a bunch of XP farming lobbies or uninspired deathmatches or naff takes on Zombies....
Featuring a group of experienced cosplayers, headlined by Ben “Maul Cosplay” Bergmann (known in particular for his Geralting), it shows an action packed minute in which Neo does John Wick stuff in the nightclub from Blade for unclear reasons. You can see the trailer below. Vi-Dan Tran is its director. It’s a name that may not be famous, but as much of his work has been in the thankless world of stunts (which still doesn’t get an Oscar category despite workers literally risking their lives for the craft while the other actors sulk over a mimosa), that’s hardly his fault....
Get the EVGA SuperNova 1600 P+ PSU for $200 (was $500) The SuperNova 1600 P+ is a pretty darn strong PSU, as you might have guessed by the specs, and the biggest benefit beyond its high capacity is an extremely good efficiency rating (92%) and a 10-year warranty, ensuring years of excellent operation for the likely lifetime of several generations of your gaming PC. The P+ is also relatively compact, thanks to its high-quality components, with dimensions of 200x150x86mm that make it easier to fit into cases with plenty of room to spare for your cables....
The Silent Swan is set around two cities within a vast wall. It’s a mighty impressive look, and and absolutely the reason I tried the demo. Our fella is returning home after 17 years on the trail of his missing wife. Something happened, and the cities now stand empty, forbidden, forgotten, fabled. No, I don’t think it’s Attack On Titan, though I would be delighted by that twist. It does feel a bit like a Kafka or Borges story to me, with our man increasingly lost and confused in a surreal city he no longer recognises, tormented by strangers who either know everything about him or don’t even recognise his presence, and caught in events he doesn’t understand....
Get the 1TB Kingston NV2 PCIe 4.0 SSD for £49 (was £55) 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. As you might expect for a drive of this price, this is a QLC drive without a DRAM cache, so sustained performance and longevity aren’t strong points - I definitely wouldn’t recommend this drive for video production, for instance, or other heavy content creation tasks....
The data miner, “MrEarthboundFan” has certainly been around for a while, having dug out camos, voice packs, and more dating back to the Infinite Warfare days. Asked where these new clips came from, they responded “PC preload files”. Black Ops Cold War’s PC beta runs this weekend, and you can download it in advance. If we take a look at the first clip, titled wz_forest_loadingmovie, it certainly bears a resemblance to one of the maps featured in a new mode, Fireteam: Dirty Bomb....
Here’s the reveal trailer, for starters: Frontline’s main mode is Expeditions. It features over 100 players in teams of three exploring Drakemoor island, but it’s not exactly the typical battle royale. Instead of a constricting circle, teams work to gather intel from different locations around the map before calling for an extraction. Once a team triggers the extraction, they will be marked on the map for all other teams to hunt them down, steal their intel, and escape themselves....
The only trouble is, I’m an absolute clod who just endlessly attempts to recreate other things in Townscaper. No, my attempts at building Windfall Island from The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker have not panned out. Please do not ask me about it. Other folks are so much more inspired than me it’s tragic, frankly. Just look at the things they’ve built. For starters, some folks have been working on labyrinths....
“We can’t in good conscience continue to enable use of the image”, Twitch said. Last night, the US Capitol was violently stormed by Trump supporters spurred on by the President’s baseless claims of voter fraud. Guitierrez called for “civil unrest” for one of the rioters who was shot and killed inside the Capitol building, encouraging followers to watch a “gruesome” video about her death. “We’ve made the decision to remove the PogChamp emote following statements from the face of the emote encouraging further violence after what took place in the Capitol today,” Twitch announced....
You can grab Ghost Recon free from this website or direct through the Ubisoft Connect client. Yep, only free on the Ubistore. I was never much into tactical shooters but I understand it was well-liked, and still might be? Sound off in the comments, gang. Though the game’s from an awkward technological period, Ghost Recon’s multiplayer is still playable with a wee workaround. It used GameSpy to power the multiplayer, which died years ago, but the ever-handy GameRanger bypasses that....
Rift’s supposed star Basim is a Hidden One (forerunners of the Assassins) who crosses paths with Eivor several times during Valhalla. He gives her a wristblade, and they both end up tangled in that rubbish moonman jazz. I do wonder what the stealth chat actually means. Assassin’s Creed started out with fairly slimline stealth (compared to sneakers of the time, anyway) then over the years made its murderwizards more and more powerful....
Although, we do spin some positivity into the mix. We take a look at the shooters that get engagement right. Or at least, the games that we enjoy investing time in nowadays and why that’s the case. Oh, and we recorded this pod a week early as Hayden is holidaying in an undisclosed - but definitely hot and sunny - location: most likely Paradise Palms from Fortnite. Anyway, yes, that’s why we swap out any breaking news chat in favour of Neon White, the speedrunning-meets-anime FPS....
I particularly like how the birdstrands have a stop-motion look to them. Jan Švankmajer would be proud of that creature. “The Heretic was created on stock Unity 2019.3 and pushed Unity’s graphics features to the limit,” Unity say, “including every possible aspect of the High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) with the integrated Post-Processing stack, and the Visual Effect Graph.” Mm, yes, you’ve really got to clear your pipeline. All sorts of post-processed stacks can get stuck in there if you’re not careful....
“We worked really hard on Unsighted, and having it resonate so much with people and seeing it get this kind of recognition and praise is amazing!” Dias tells me over email. Dias and Pixel collaborated closely on Unsighted. It was their first project together, and the two of them made everything from scratch, including its soundtrack. Dias described its development as “a learning experience”, but adds that it was still “a very positive one”....
Normally a full keycap set of PrismCaps will cost you $30, but as an early Black Friday deal you can find these keycaps for 50% off - just $15. At that price, these are in impulse buy territory for me, as they’ll provide an immediate uplift over your existing keycaps and last for decades.

On this page: Valheim Mistlands release date How to find the Valheim Mistlands Future Mistlands enemies and features Valheim Mistlands release date Iron Gate, the developers of Valheim, have confirmed that following the release of the Hearth & Home update in September 2021, Voyage to the Mistlands is their next content priority. That means that the Mistlands biome is expected to be fully implemented in the next major update, though an exact release date has not yet been confirmed....
An industry-leading viking by the name of “RoloPogo” has created the Valheim mod Crafty Carts. It adds three new carts to the game, each sporting an in-built crafting station. There’s the workbench cart, forge cart, and stonecutter cart, so you can build on the go without the faff of having to set up a separate crafting station every time you take a pit stop. These carts cost the same as their respective crafting stations to make, plus ten bronze nails....
