If all goes well, we’ll check out an Indonesian folklore horror game too Hey guys! I’m here early! I won’t be home for a few days, so I’m popping in today instead of the usual Friday night Twitch stream time slot. In theMagic: Arenarealm, climbing the standard ranked ladder has been going relatively smoothly. I plan to play mostly limited when Capenna drops (at least until a standard meta becomes clear), so it’s been good to become familiar with the game again in the mode I know best....

Even so,Arknights: Endfieldputs its own unique spin on the mechanic, so here’s everything you need to take advantage of it. How does Trust work in Arknights: Endfield?

The titular force inDemon Slayeris in constant battle against the demons. Its members constantly hone themselves, even to the point of reaching superhuman levels, just to match the man-eating creatures’ supernatural abilities. Interestingly, though, the person leading the troupe isn’t an all-powerful swordsman. Instead, it’sthe ever-so-sickly Kagaya Ubuyashiki. Kagaya, also known as the Oyakata-sama, has been doing a great job fulfilling his duties. During the Hashira Training Arc, however, his sickness finally caught up with him....

That’s a lot of bells SayingAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsis successful is like saying Simone Biles is a great gymnast. Yeah, we know. We knew it would be a hit even before the world was stuck at home with nothing better to do than shake tress and gross Blathers out with bugs. And while we’ve had a lot of unofficial numbers since its launch, Nintendo finally gave us a look at just how well the game did since its late March launch and boy howdy has it sold some copies....

Virtual reality zombie shooter I sometimes feel like I’m less on board with VR than most. It’s a fun novelty to show a family member for 20 minutes, not something I’d like to be cocooned in for hours. Maybe that’s why there’s expectation of it doing gangbusters on the same basis of the original Wii (with the same amount of already-courted diehards that Nintendo has had locked up forever). Still, this Steam VR onHTC Vivezombie shooter,Arizona Sunshine, is kind of a neat idea....

Noisy Head Games’ indie-charmerBeyond the Long Nightwill be floating to PC on July 25, 2025. Beyond the Long Nightis a dual-stick side-scroller featuring rogue-lite elements and adventure puzzle-solving. If dual-stick side-scroller strikes you as a bit odd, the explanation is that you float around with a cluster of balloons. I still have a lot of balloon-related trauma stemming fromMario KartandBalloon Kid, but even despite all the agonizing flashbacks,Beyond the Long Nightlooks like charming fun....

If you complete the game multiple times, more weapons will unlock. You can see the official reveal trailer to get a glimpse as to what to expect....

The scans themselves come from the Japan-exclusivePokémon Gold and Silver Pokédex.In other words, this wasn’t something provided as a special case from Nintendo....

You either die a hero… A lot of people were surprised whenallegations came outthat Billy Mitchell’s high scores in the arcade classicDonkey Kongmay have been faked. This was the man featured in a famous documentaryThe King of Kongand who was notorious for being a fierce competitor as well as a general gaming heel; this couldn’t be true! Personally, I was completely on board once news broke. When questioned about breaking the high score onPac-Man, Billy said he’d do it because, “I’m Billy Mitchell,” so clearly being humble wasn’t his strong suit....

Wake up…time to die! Blade Runneris one of the most important sci-fi films of all time. It not only laid the groundwork for a plethora of classic sci-fi films in the ’80s, but it inspired a generation of film makers to pick up cameras and get to shooting. It also became a victim of Hollywood’s meddling with its original release, but subsequent home releases have fixed any narrative issues that had been imposed by executives, leaving the mesmerizing core untouched....
