The Outer Worlds is the upcoming sci-fi RPG from Fallout: New Vegas developers Obsidian Entertainment, and Fallout series creators Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky are working on the game, too. So, it shouldn’t be too surprising that The Outer Worlds borrows one major gameplay feature from the aforementioned Bethesda-owned franchise. The feature in question is called tactical time dilation (or TTD for short) and it is The Outer Worlds’ version of Fallout’s VATS (Vault-Assisted Targeted System)....

Pokemon players who like to try and get ahead of the curve via third-party means should beware: they’re risking a ban, and potentially a permanent one. As video games have become increasingly focused around competitive online play, they’ve become more vulnerable to a minority of players who like to ruin the experience for others. With zero accountability (and no consequences in the case of a lot of games), rage quitting is rife....

The Witcher 3 teems with scintillating spectacle. From the hedonic haven of Toussaint to the Novigradian side streets inhabited by bourbon-guzzling bon-vivants, its world is at all times subjected to a violent cacophony that renders moments of respite almost perpetually out of reach. But there are somber scenes to witness here, tranquil times tucked away in the esoterica-shrouded background. If, for a minute, you decide that the Wild Hunt can piss off for a bit, you’ll likely notice that this world isn’t entirely populated by dragons and drunkards....

This article contains spoilers for The Sinner season 3. When planned miniseries decide to expand into traditional series, they often run the risk of rendering their titles moot. Such is the case with USA Network’s detective drama The Sinner. When it opted to move past its novel inspiration’s premise to tell new stories about detective Harry Ambrose, there was a real chance that the name “The Sinner” would become vestigial....

I unapologetically love Catherine. It’s one of my favorite games of all time, which puts me at odds with many of my peers in the industry. From my perspective, it’s one of the most delicate portrayals of sexuality to ever come out of this medium, and a stellar game from a pure mechanical standpoint. Those mechanics, actually, are why I think Atlus’ upcoming Switch release of Catherine: Full Body could wind up being the definitive version of the game....

Geralt of Rivia is currently one of the most popular characters in pop culture. With the Witcher getting its own Netflix series, he has virtually become a household name. However, the character has a much longer history spanning a litany of literary works, and of course, games. Throughout his adventures, Geralt of Rivia has committed deeds both good and bad. He has left virtually everyone he has met with a special impression, either that of a hero or that of a villain....

The world of The Witcher 3 contains a lot of beauty but also dangers. It will hardly come as a surprise that Geralt can get into a lot of trouble during his travels. From Velen to Toussaint, there are challenges awaiting him wherever he decides to go. Some of the problems Geralt faces are caused entirely by his own behavior. Sometimes it takes just one bad choice to attract trouble. And if Geralt makes multiple bad choices, then he has to learn how to deal with the consequences....

There are a few essential places in the world of The Witcher 3 for you to visit during the game, and one of them is Kaer Morhen, the witcher school. You’ll hear about this old fortress throughout the game but won’t visit it until much later on. The fortress and surrounding area are both home to a ton of history and significance. Kaer Morhen’s story goes back centuries, and its role continues in the Witcher 3’s story....

The X-Files has always been a cartoon at heart. Dana Scully’s hair has always been a little too red. Fox “Spooky” Mulder’s unimaginative suit and tie was a caricature of federal officer wear. It’s fitting that Fox is developing an animated comedy spinoff of The X-Files which will be executive produced by the series creator Chris Carter, according to Variety. The spinoff will be called The X-Files: Albuquerque. Fox hasn’t quite committed to the script or presentation yet....

A new Hyundai Mobis project has created something we’ve all always wanted - a car that can drive sideways. The project installs numerous systems into a Hyundai Ioniq 5 to make four-wheel steering possible. Functionally, it works in a similar way to the Hummer EV’s Crabwalk feature, but in reality it’s so much more useful for one big reason - it would make it so much easier to get parked!...

Pro strat: If you want to win in the Gulag, just pretend you’re AFK until the enemy lets their guard down. 60% of the time it works every time. It’s a bold move, but Tim is very confident when he announces he’s going to do the AFK Strat, a strategy I wasn’t aware existed before seeing this clip, but a very effective one, apparently. “This is going to work,” Tim says as he prepares himself to…sit there defenselessly....

In onscreen depictions of violence or combat, when it comes to delivering a coup de grace, nothing is quite so effective or final as a decapitation. It’s the death stroke that can illicit applause, gasps, cheers, screams, or make you feel a bit queasy, but no matter what the effect, it seems that you never have to wait too long for another one to come along in the crazy, wacky, world of on-screen carnage....

Speaking on an episode of Elite TV Roll Call, Treyarch’s Mark Lamia stated that the team is testing Black Ops 2 against different headset and home theater configurations. Careful work is being done to improve the audio all together, with weapons taking on different sounds depending on the environment. Many of these changes have been incorporated to appease competitive Call of Duty players. A common tactic among gamers is to listen for minute audio cues while playing, such as the sound of footsteps or a bomb being planted....

Disney music executive Mitchell Leib has stated that the TRON 3 movie has a “phenomenal script” and agreed that now is the right time for the third live-action installment. TRON 3 was previously confirmed to be in development by Disney earlier in the year. Speaking to the Light the Fuse podcast, Leib shed some light into Disney’s production that seems to be progressing slowly but planned to go ahead with filming....

Streaming personality xQc is no stranger to bans. This year alone, the streamer has been banned twice, once from Twitch after stream sniping and another time for streaming an inappropriate game. But this time, his ban is from Twitter, and it seems to be a massive mistake. xQc has several clips from his own stream on his Twitter, taken from Twitch. This small samples of streams, which can be clipped from live streams, are usually only about 10 seconds long....

Twitch recently has updated its user guidelines and one of the update’s main points was about how to curb and crack down on harassment and sexual content on the streaming service. But, how does this and other changes to the platform effect content creators and watchers? In 2017, Twitch announced it would be doing more than just streaming video games, but actually host videos and television episodes, like a marathon of Mister Roger’s Neighborhood....

English demos for two awesome-looking new anime dating simulators by Aniplex.exe are now available for download from Steam. ATRI -My Dear Moments- and Adabana Odd Tales are the visual novel games in question, both set for release in June 2020. You can get a taste for them now, though, in English or Chinese (interface and subtitles), or Japanese (interface, subtitles, and full audio). These are the first visual novels games to be released by Aniplex....

Untitled Goose Game, one of the best “meme games” in recent years, is getting a new free-to-play co-op mode. As revealed during Nintendo’s recent Indie World showcase, this co-op mode will arrive in the form of a free update currently set for release on September 23. It will support up to two-local players, and there’s currently no information regarding any plans to add online functionality. In other words, you’ll need to find a couch buddy....

Sage hails from China and is known as “both shield and sword” thanks to her abilities. Not only is she an expert healer, but she also has some tremendous controlling skills. She’s one of the best agents in VALORANT and usually one of the first picks on any team. Her value comes in the fact that she can heal and revive players. She’s also good at slowing down flankers and pushers with her Barrier Orb and Slow Orb....
