Modding Duke Nukem 3D Into A Joke About English Culture Can Be Good For Your Mental Health

You might have seen Douglas’s work on Twitter: Boris Johnson dangling from a zip-line or, more recently, throwing a can of Heinz tomato soup at a Van Gogh, all created within Duke Nukem 3D’s Build Engine. What started as a tongue-in-cheek, though elaborate, joke for Twitter has become the sprawling Duke Nukem 3D mod project, still going sixteen months later. We can attribute the continued creation of this mod, now officially titled Duke Smoochem 3D, to several different things: much of the UK is now a hellscape of memeable moments; everyone finds the Gilliam-esque punchlines a great visual summation of said memeable moments; and, most importantly, it has been a space for its creator to heal....

Mordhau Players Are Playing Cricket With Shields For Balls And I Love Them

Sadly, I have never hopped into a server full of people playing cricket using shields as balls and staffs as bats. Happily, someone else has, and there is video.

More Activision Blizzard Qa Staff Are Walking Out In Second Day Of Protest

The walkout’s extension was announced by Acitvision employee group ABetterABK via Twitter: “Today workers from Raven QA are walking out for the second day in a row,” reads the tweet. “They are joined by workers from QATX, QAMN, and Blizzard QA. These workers are standing in solidarity with the statement Raven QA put forward yesterday. They are using the social media hashtag #WeAreRaven”. Blizzard senior test analyst Jessica Gonzalez confirmed Blizzard QA’s participation, tweeting that, “We are walking out because our jobs are invaluable and it’s unacceptable for a multi million dollar company to toy with workers livelihoods to get better numbers in Q4....

Mount Blade 2 Bannerlord Is A Font Of Gifs

A major part of Bannerlord is training up your lackeys. Whatever path you take in its open world of commerce and violence, you’re gonna do some fighting, and for most people that means an army. But what if you don’t want an army? What if you want a diverse handful of experts? A party. A fellowship, if you will. Reddier user “Okoii” has an answer. The hobbits dash out in front and brutalise an attacker, but you just know Gandalf will still spend the next two entire films bleating about how they’re hopeless in a fight and generally being incredibly condescending for someone who watched them kill orcs with a frying pan and then died by falling over....

Mushrooms Mould And Killer Plants The Best Horror Isn T Animal It S Vegetable

In film, killer greenery has been going through a bit of a renaissance. In Alex Garland’s Annihilation (an adaptation of the first novel in Jeff Vandermeer’s Southern Reach trilogy), four women enter a strange, shimmery forest and come face to face with various weird plants. One of the most powerful images from the film is found in the basin of an emptied concrete swimming pool. Pinned to the wall is a corpse of a previous expedition member, their body turned inside out and extended by some sort of monstrous fungal growth....

Need For Speed Delayed While Criterion Assist Battlefield 6

The next Battlefield game hasn’t had a proper title announced yet and we don’t know its setting either. It had seemed possible we’d see some word on it last summer during EA’s video showcase event but the little glimpse we got of it was disappointing. Despite the lack of information, EA says it’s coming along well. “[Battlefield] is shaping up great, the team has been working incredibly hard, they pushed hard last year, and yes, we have been working from home,” EA chief studios officer Laura Miele tells Polygon....

Netflix Have Bought Cozy Grove And Alphabear Developers Spry Fox

In their post announcing the acquisition, Spry Fox’s David Edery writes that the studio will “continue making the games that we were already making and wanted to make, but with more support and resources to make those games better and bring them to more people around the world.” Edery also writes that Spry Fox can “stop stressing about how our games generate profit on our games and instead focus exclusively on making them as enjoyable and fulfilling to our players as possible....

New Tales From The Borderlands Is Coming October 21St

Like the Telltale original, this is a standalone narrative-based game in the Borderverse, but you won’t be continuing the adventures of Rhys and Fiona in this one. Instead, you’ll be playing as three new characters in this “New” one - Anu, Octavio and Fran as they, and I quote, “face down a planetary invasion, battle vicious Vault monsters, dismantle cold-hearted capitalists and endeavour to change the world, maybe even save it!...

Ninja Streamed On Twitch Yesterday For The First Time Since Mixer Died

Here he is in all his blue-haired glory doing what he apparently does best, playing Fortnite: Ninja signed a $50 million deal to stream exclusively on Mixer before it shut down in June, leaving him a free agent to take his Fortnite #content elsewhere. He’s set up over on YouTube for the moment, doing daily videos for his whopping 24 million subscribers. While the stream appeared to be a bit of a spur-of-the-moment thing, he tweeted shortly after that he’d already managed to hit Twitch Affiliate status, which is basically what you need on the platform to be able to make money from it....

No More Heroes 3 Will Slash Onto Pc Later This Year

That’s more or less all they say, sharing the news via a tweet: This means Travis Touchdown’s entire trilogy will be on PC, after the first two were ported to PC last year. Ed’s review of the first No More Heroes found it a good time, albeit repetitive and diminished from its lack of Wii-era wanking controls. No More Heroes 3 apparently continues in kind. It revives the open world areas from the first game (absent in its sequel), and otherwise offers low-budget over-the-shoulder hack and slashing....

Nobody Saves The World Review A Charming Action Rpg Plagued By Repetition

In Nobody Saves The World, said world has succumbed to The Calamity, a dark force that’s mutated its residents into blubbery eyes that spit spikes and sentient puddles of acid. A great mage called Nostramagus usually keeps these at bay but, in classic fashion, he’s gone missing. In you step as Nobody, a deflated Michelin Man who inherits Nostramagus’ powers and can shapeshift into various forms as a result. With this great power, you must dungeon-crawl in a bid to gather the scattered pieces of a magical gemstone capable of burning away the blight, and most importantly, saving the world....

Nvidia Explain The Misunderstanding Behind Blizzard S Withdrawal From Geforce Now

GeForce Now is Nvidia’s take on hot new cloud streaming services like Google Stadia. The idea is that, if you own a game supported by GeForce Now and have a stable enough internet connection, you can play it wherever you please - letting Nvidia’s remote hardware do the heavy lifting. Kat had a bash in her cloud streaming rundown and thought it worked well enough, even if it was rather fussy about detecting games wot you own....

Overwatch 2 Review In Progress Tonnes Of Fun Marred By Context And Expectations

Guiding my old favourite heroes through venerable maps like King’s Row and Route 66, it’s like I never left. In many ways, it feels like I’ve simply been given a reason to play Overwatch 1 again. Is that enough for a sequel? Is it enough to justify the incredibly confusing, lengthy, and oft-botched process of trying to make Overwatch feel relevant again? I’m not certain it is. But perhaps it should be....

Overwatch S Halloween Terror Event Returns Today

After all, what could be scarier than time-limited cosmetic loot-boxes? Oooooh, I feel a shiver down my spine already. While I’m past wishing Overwatch would build on the survival mode beyond Junkenstein’s Revenge, the horror horde minigame at least comes with a lot more variations this year. Each week comes with two new “challenge mission”, adding twists like faster zombies or a deadly ghost wot chases players around the arena, Spelunky-style....

Path Of Exile 2 Likely Launching 2022

In an interview with cheery RPS fanzine PC Gamer, Wilson explained how the increase in travel restrictions has hamstrung the team’s growth, and ultimately, Path Of Exile 2’s development. “I hate to blame Covid for stuff, but that is a big part of it at the moment,” Wilson said. “We have had difficulty hiring internationally because the borders to New Zealand are closed, so that has curtailed the exponential growth of our asset creation team a little bit....

Pay 5 For 15 Worth Of Games At The Ubisoft Store

Get $10 / £10 off at the Ubisoft Store with code FORWARD You can use the code multiple times and it works on top of the discounts already applied to many games, making this a very efficient way to pick up older discounted titles for pennies on the dollar. For example, you can pick up Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 and its new Warlords of New York Expansion for $8 / £5 with the code, a bargain given that the normal ‘Warlords of New York Edition’ copy of the game retails for $60 in the US and £50 in the UK....
