Following the routine Kombat Kast, we’ve had our latest reveal in the form of Kotal Kahn, the Outworld Emperor following Shao Khan’s death. The reveal was interesting to say the least for reasons I’ll explain. Also worth mentioning that this Mortal Kombat 11 Kotal Kahn reveal sort of served as a reveal for Jacqui Briggs as well. A duet of sorts if you will. I think it’s really impressive that Kotal managed to die in his own reveal. That has to be a milestone of sorts right? Maybe it was a little oopsie in the Netherrealm Studios marketing department honestly. I mean this was a Jacqui Briggs reveal trailer, wasn’t it? The Jade reveal is how you do a proper character showcase. I have no idea what this was since we didn’t see Kotal’s fatality or even his fatal move. Maybe the trailer’s actually a warning not to play as Kotal? Should’ve been called the Mortal Kombat 11 Jacqui Briggs reveal honestly. I did love her fatality.

Hypnospace Outlaw review: resurrecting a forgotten internet, warts and all
Hypnospace Outlaw is an early internet simulator, a recreation of the world wide web from the 1990s - a thing not everybody used all the time. But it's also a detective game with a story rippling through it, and there's a mystery here to solve. And you solve it by surfing - rifling through the internet as it once was, looking for clues.It's remarkable how different things were. Incremental change is hard to spot day-by-day but when seen all at once, in some kind of dieting Before picture, it's brazen. Oh, those halcyon days! The music blaring from every page! The fields of animations twirling in a never ending dance! The chaos, the garishness, like a teenager's bedroom over and over again.It was a bold new frontier and an innocent one, a high street with no chain stores, no ubiquity. There was no discernible Google, no Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or Twitch. Back then, dial-up modems were the norm. Netflix was a DVD-by-post company, broadband still a fledgling thing. The internet was … [Read more...] about Hypnospace Outlaw review: resurrecting a forgotten internet, warts and all
Division 2 Focusing on Critical Bugs Before World Tier 5 Release
There are many players of The Division 2 who are eagerly awaiting the promised unlocking of World Tier 5 in the game, and while developer Massive Entertainment is promising that it is coming soon, it will not be released before some major bugs are taken care of and balancing is in the right spot. In Massive Entertainment’s first episode of its signature weekly “State of the Game” stream since the launch of The Division 2, the developer said that the release of the game went over with very few issues (and issues like the netcode bug getting fixed quickly). Massive said in this first week, it is focused on collecting information about issues from the Division 2 player base and getting critical issues fixed as soon as possible. Overall, the health of the game itself is taking priority before unlocking World Tier 5 in The Division 2.

Happy Hob Beats Entire SoulsBorne Series Without Taking a Single Hit
After tons of close calls and unlucky bad breaks, Twitch streamer The Happy Hob has finally completed every game in the Soulsborne series (Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 3, and Bloodborne) without taking a single hit. For Happy Hob this “God Run” was seen as the ultimate achievement and it couldn’t have come at a better time, with From Software’s latest title, Sekiro, set to release on Friday. Followers of Happy Hob, or no-hit runners in general, will know his accomplishments well. He was the first to complete Dark Souls 1 without taking a hit, but his most incredible feat (up until today) was the “Trilogy,” beating Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 2, and Dark Souls 3 without getting hit. If at any point he took a hit, Hob would need to start all of the games over. For the God Run, things were taken to a new extreme. The same rules regarding hits and the randomized order of the games were in play, but now Bloodborne and … [Read more...] about Happy Hob Beats Entire SoulsBorne Series Without Taking a Single Hit
