Trials of Mana is a game that can be played in a straightforward way, but there’s a lot of secret content to uncover, such as a boss fight with the deceiving Black Rabite. As such, it may be worth exploring the game’s nooks and crannies, as you may be rewarded for your efforts. In fact, some include hidden abilities in the game. While many of the abilities collected in-game are earned by playing straight through, there are numerous abilities that are hidden and obtained in secret ways....

Recently, Twitch users discovered that they were unable to use certain words to self-identify themselves in their profile descriptions. In particular, users were unable to use the word “autistic” as a descriptor to identify themselves on their Twitch profile. Because of the history of harassment that certain members of the gaming community have suffered on multiple different platforms, Twitch has been trying to maintain a friendly environment by restricting the use of certain words that have been used as insults....

The holidays are often a time for giving, and it’s no different for Twitch streamer Fairlight Excalibur. With the help of his community on Twitch, he made this Christmas even more special for one lucky person. For those who may not know him, Fairlight is a full-time variety streamer on Twitch, and a big fan of storytelling. Fairlight can be found playing games from Mass Effect to Escape from Tarkov, and he even just played through Cyberpunk 2077....

The title Underwater is as bland as it comes and yet it’s the perfect moniker for this utterly derivative action/horror hybrid. Kristen Stewart stars as Norah Price, an electrical engineer who works nearly seven miles under the ocean on a drilling platform in the Mariana Trench. As the film opens, Norah is pondering what seems to be a shaky relationship–in a voiceover that only pops up two or three more times over the next 90 minutes–when something causes the Kepler Station underwater rig to collapse around her ears....

Valorant has quickly supplanted itself as one of the biggest games of 2020, and after Riot Games confirmed that ranked mode will be coming to the game soon, a leaker has put forth new interesting information for the popular hero-based shooter. Riot Games is the developer behind the very successful League of Legends, which is in its 10th season and has one of the best ranked systems in all of gaming....

A new Steam feature is currently rolling out for PC developers, further emboldening teams to work with their communities and improve their games. Valve has dubbed the new feature “Steam Playtest,” and like the name implies it’s a feature that allows developers to invite Steam users to playtest their games. The feature will also let Steam users request playtest access on games that employ it. Developers will be able to create their own playtest without requiring Steam keys....

SteamDB owner Pavel Djundik is a saint, as far as I’m concerned. The guy tirelessly combs through every new Steam update searching for bytes that might reveal what Valve is up to, from upcoming sales to new and exciting Steam features. It’s a thankless job that often puts him in the sights of publishers that don’t understand he’s just providing a public service. And today, Djundik might have uncovered his greatest find to date....

Venom 2’s new trailer didn’t only give fans a better look at Carnage. It also teased the arrival of a new symbiote, Toxin. After a number of delays, just like every other movie slated for release at any point since March of last year, Venom: Let There Be Carnage will hit theaters later this year. September 24, 2021, to be exact. A new trailer for the Venom sequel dropped earlier this week featuring a better look at Woody Harrelson as Carnage and some comic relief from Venom....

There’s no denying that the recent acquisition of Minecraft developer Mojang by Microsoft is one of the biggest video game-related happenings in recent months. In fact, some would argue that this could be one of the biggest events of the current generation, depending on how Microsoft chooses to leverage their $2.5 billion property. For Mojang, this $2.5 billion payday not only validates the hard work that went into building the Minecraft brand but also gives them the freedom to do almost anything they want....

Microsoft’s E3 2017 press conference is not long from now, and fans can tune into the live event’s coverage today, June 11, 2017, starting at 2:00 PM PDT / 5:00 PM EDT. While Microsoft’s presentation at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo will surely please diehard Xbox acolytes, the company will definitely need to pull out some showstopping announcements to outshine its competition. As it currently stands, the main course of Microsoft’s showcase will likely be its powerful new console, Project Scorpio, and the company is expected to finally reveal its official name, price, and release date at the event....

The NFL Wild Card Game on Nickelodeon hosted a very special treat for anyone who tuned in around halftime: an exclusive sneak preview of the new show Kamp Koral: Spongebob’s Under Years. The six minute long clip gave audiences the longest preview yet of what the show will look like when it finally airs on Nick and Paramount+. Kamp Koral is set to be the first Spongebob Squarepants spin-off series, and will feature a young Spongebob at camp with friends and colleagues from the original show, with most of the original actors returning to voice the characters....

When it comes to fan-made creations related to video games, Destiny devotees go all out. For instance, just a few days ago, Kirby Downey – an ardent follower of the action-RPG – took it upon himself to make a Thorn pistol replica that actually fires airsoft pellets. And if that’s not impressive enough for some people, the costumes that fans craft are more often than not top of the line. To be specific, gamer and cosplay enthusiast Paola Alejandra’s flawless Warlock attire successfully turned many heads at this year’s Comic-Con expo....

The origin of culturally recognized monsters vary. Some are the result of ignorance of the world around those that invented them, constructed as a means to explain things that science at the time had no explanation for. Others were made up to create boogiemen to scare people into preferred behavior, warning people (many of them children) that they will be eaten or kidnapped if they don’t change their ways. Some are made as representations of people or cultures in a racist or classist attempts to other them and instigate fear, and potentially violence, against those deemed “unworthy”....

As the mechanic of the crew of the Unreliable with a few clear connections to Kaylee from Firefly, Parvati is as adorable outside of battle as she is deadly in battle, with a neat special attack that not only deals decent damage but stuns enemies as well. Her character arc may be focused around her attempted romance with Junlei, but that doesn’t mean that players shouldn’t bring her into a firefight....

Obsidian Entertainment’s Fallout: New Vegas spiritual successor The Outer Worlds was one of the hit games of 2019, earning the Role-Playing Game of the Year award from the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences among a number of other awards. Nearly a year since The Outer Worlds’ release date, it’s safe to say that the conversation has largely moved on from the game, with fans focused on what’s next from Obsidian instead....

With a history of 200+ years on record, Solitaire is one of the oldest games that remain popular in modern society. Practically anyone you ask will have some familiarity with the card game, likely having played it on their computers at some point during their lives. It might not be as much of a sensation in 2020, but the game still draws a reported 35 million players a month. So how do you mix that tried and true formula up?...

Concerns of overpowered vehicles in Call of Duty: Warzone have been growing increasingly loud this week. Noteworthy glitches have popped up and consequently, many complaints have been entirely understandable. A valid example of an overpowered vehicle would be helicopters with the ability to fly underground – and this was entirely possible. Helicopter crews were able to glitch into the map and fire upon enemies safely from below the ground. This was not an intended feature, of course, but players were exploiting the glitch....

This Walking Dead article contains spoilers. The Walking Dead season 10 is the show’s longest season to date, with 22 episodes, but the 11th and final season will take the cake. Kicking off later this year, season 11 will run for 24 episodes through 2022, concluding this chapter of The Walking Dead franchise. While we know there is more story to tell beyond the flagship series, with Daryl and Carol getting their own spin-off and a Rick Grimes movie still on the way, season 11 will mostly likely close the door on a few other storylines....

This The Walking Dead review contains spoilers. The Walking Dead Season 11 Episode 17 It seems bad people are more willing to play political games than good people, at least in this universe. Lance, for all his many faults, at least is out there on the front lines with his pistol, exhorting his clamshells on to victory or death at the hands of Daryl (Norman Reedus) and company. Safely inside her train station turned city hall, Pamela Milton (Laila Robins) is about as far removed from the chaos caused by her son as she can be, speaking to the people through a microphone and a series of loudspeakers, taking carefully PR-adjusted questions from the citizens, and generally trying to stay as above the fray as she can while pointedly not throwing her son under the bus for his many crimes against decency and the Commonwealth....
