When I was six, I peed my pants in class because I was too proud to use my public school bathroom. Similarly, suave billionaire and alleged sexual harasser Elon Musk peed his proverbial pants after a Twitter scuffle with the satirical video game site Hard Drive. Neither Musk nor Hard Drive returned a request for…
For those waiting for a Pui Pui Molcar season 2 confirmation or announcement of more episodes, there’s news about additional adventures. The official Japanese Twitter account confirmed more of the show is in the works. There’s a video clip announcing it, as well as an image teasing a new character. It will show up in Japan in Fall 2022.
Rather than a Pui Pui Molcar season 2 proper being announced, the new episodes are being billed as a “new series.” The teaser begins with clips from the first run of episodes. Then, it shows a picture with five returning main characters Shiromo, Choco, Potato, Teddy, and Abbey. At the top of it is a silhouette of an unknown Molcar.
After the 30 second mark, some behind-the-scenes footage appears. It shows the needle-felted Molcars being made. There are also photos showing the stop-motion show being filled.

Project Highrise: Architect’s Edition
Welcome fellow Fortnite players, we’ve finally arrived at the last week of the Resistance questline. Week 11 is shaping up to be full of interesting quests so let’s get down to it. Here’s where to activate an emergency beacon at Tilted Towers or Coney Crossroads in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2.
If you’ve done every quest up to this point you are likely incredibly familiar with the opening objective. This time we must “Establish Device Uplink near Rocky Reels or The Daily Bugle.”
There are three spots at each that you can do this, but we picked the bottom left one at Rocky Reels.
A new trailer for upcoming racing game F1 22 brings plenty of looks at new gameplay features that players can expect from the title. Perhaps the biggest headliner is the promise of “new handling,” so players who have played previous F1 iterations might have to relearn the vehicles.
You can see the video here and below:
For those who maybe aren’t much of a circuit racer, there will be an “F1 Sprint” mode to look forward to. Perhaps the most immersive thing seen in the trailer is that you will be able to enter pit stops still in the first-person perspective. Not only that but there will be the possibility of “pit stop errors.” Long-time fans can expect circuit updates to Abu Dhabi, Australia, and Spain.
F1 22 doesn’t have to be a solitary experience either considering the game includes both “single and two player” career mode. It seems that multiplayer will be available in both split-screen and network, so you don’t have to be right next to a friend to journey through the F1 22 career with them.
Today Sega revealed content and events coming to Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis over the month of June.
We start with the large-scale Frozen “Resolution” update that will bring the new and wintery area named Kvaris on June 8 alongside plenty of content, enemies, quests, an increase of the level cap to 60, new skills, and much more.
You’ll also be able to purchase ridiculously overpriced outfits within the Kvaris Pack for $19.99 each.
June 15 will bring new enemies that will appear in the Raijord Gorge areas of Kvaris and new items for the SG scratch tickets, while June 22 will see the release of an upgraded Dark Falz interception quest and the inevitable AC Scratch ticket.
You can see all the new content below.
Yelan was introduced to Genshin Impact in update 2.7 and is effectively a 5-Star version of a long-established, fan-favorite character. Any Xingqiu fans out there who have grown tired of his silly shorts but love what he can bring to their party synergy is in luck, as Yelan can act as an amazing replacement for him.
When built as a sub-DPS Yelan is capable of providing massive support to your team in the form of additional Hydro damage, and players are scrabbling to add her to their teams. In this guide, we will show you how to get Yelan and why you want her.
To get Yelan in Genshin Impact, you will need to spend some of your hard-earned Primogems on her Banner, the Discerner of Enigmas. It costs 160 Primogems for a single roll and 1600 Primogems for ten rolls. Generally, it is better to select the ten rolls if you can, as every ten rolls guarantees at least one 4-Star result or higher. Yelan is a 5-Star character, however, so she is pretty rare. The good news is that Genshin Impact does have a “Pity” system for Banner Wishes, and you are guaranteed to get a 5-Star character within 90 Wishes.
The Yelan Banner will end on June 21 and will not return to the game for some time after that fact. Banners used to be “one and done,” but as the number of characters increased, they can now rotate back into the game at a later date for those who missed the original Banner.
With Yelan having finally arrived in Genshin Impact, chances are you’re wondering what Ascension Materials you’re going to need in order to push them past their current maximum level. In most cases, these materials are grouped by their element, namely, the element associated with that character, and in the case of Yelan, it’s the same thing here.
Having the above quantities of each material will enable you to take Yelan to Ascension 6.
You can get Runic Fangs by beating level 30 or higher Ruin Serpent bosses found in the Chasm area. This does require you to unlock the Chasm area by completing the Surreptitious Seven-Star Seal Sundering world quest.
While this is the only place you can get Runic Fangs, the Ruin Serpent does respawn quickly, so you can just repeatedly farm it every five minutes or so.
Star Conches are a really common resource found all over the coast of Liyue. There are a ton around the Yaoguang Shoal and Mingyun Village coast, as well as some south of Starglow Cavern. A fair few also spawn on the islands around the Guyun Stone Forest, but you can generally pick off all the spawns of Star Conches fairly quickly.
Almost exactly one year after Sonic Frontiers' initial tease, Sega has returned with a new brand-new trailer offering our first, brief look at some gameplay for the hedgehog's latest adventure.
Sonic Frontiers was first teased at the end of last May (with only the vaguest of CGI trailers and no name), but it wasn't until December that first proper details emerged, with Sega describing the title as Sonic's "first ever open zone" game.
"Accelerate to new heights and experience the thrill of high velocity open-zone freedom," the publisher said at the time. "Battle powerful enemies as you speed through the Starfall Islands - landscapes brimming with dense forests, overflowing waterfalls, sizzling deserts and more!".
Here we have another AOC gaming monitor, except it’s not just by AOC, but by posh car makers Porsche? It’s the Porsche Design AOC Agon Pro PD32M, a premium 4K / 144Hz beast of a display, and is in fact the second hardware collaboration between these unlikely bedfellows.
It’s also far more ambitious (and expensive) than 2020's AOC Agon PD27. It’s flat rather than curved, but goes for both a higher resolution and a larger 31.5in IPS panel. Its DisplayHDR certification also rises from 400 to 1400, fuelled largely by a switch to more advanced Mini LED backlighting: the same sort as the Asus ROG Swift PG32UQX, one of the best 4K gaming monitors. As a gaming screen, then, it’s got all the right tools, but what exactly about it is Porsche-like?

Xbox has begun to announce its upcoming slate of Game Pass titles for next month, with six games joining the service in the opening days of June. Sharpen your blades and get ready for plenty of action with the three big games coming to the subscription service over the next week. Ubisoft is providing two games with For Honor: Marching Fire Edition hitting tomorrow and Assassin's Creed Origins arriving on June 7, just in time for Series X owners to enjoy the new 60FPS update. Koei Tecmo is also bringing Ryu Hyabusa's remastered trilogy of 3D adventures to Game Pass with the June 2 addition of Ninja Gaiden Master Collection.
Here's the full list of Game Pass additions coming in the first part of June:
Shenmue creator Yu Suzuki is making a new game for Apple Arcade and it's a rail shooter entitled Air Twister. The new game will be coming to the iOS gaming service on June 24 of this year.
Developed by Suzuki's studio YS Net, Air Twister is billed as an "endless shooter" starring a young woman named Princess Arch, who is fighting off a group of enemies invading her home planet.
It uses a swipe shooting mechanic to target and fire at enemies flying around the screen as Princess Arch soars through the skies of her planet, passing through fields of giant mushrooms or through archipelagos of floating islands.
One of the most striking things about the trailer for Air Twister is its music, which is done by Dutch New Age composer Valensia. The result in the trailer is something like what would happen if you crossed Nier Automata's battle themes with a 70s rock opera, which is a fascinating choice for a rail shooter where everyone's riding giant swans and giant flappy whales are dragging air balloons attached to...floating...houses? Sure!
Suzuki's most recent work was Shenmue 3, which he unveiled in 2015, successfully Kickstartered, and released in 2019. Previously, he worked at Sega on franchises such as Virtua Fighter, OutRun, Outrigger, Virtua Cop, and of course, Shenmue. He also somewhat famously worked on Space Harrier, which Air Twister has clearly taken several cues from.
It’s been over thirty years since Nintendo released its Power Glove, but the infamous controller hasn’t quite faded into oblivion yet. A YouTuber recently crafted a nifty new use for the glove: compatibility with the Switch.
In a new video, tech YouTuber Will It Work? shows off his newly modded Power Glove, which has been revived and now works with the Nintendo Switch (save for a bit of latency and a few remapping issues).
As explained in the video, two essential pieces of hardware made this impressive mod possible: the USB NES RetroPort, which turns devices like the Power Glove into USB game controllers; and the ConsoleTuner Titan One, which allows the Switch to recognize external devices like the Power Glove as controllers.
Thanks to these two pieces of hardware and a bit of tinkering, Will It Work was able to configure the Power Glove as a simplified Switch controller — hand movements correspond to joystick motions, thumb movements correspond to the A button, and index finger movements correspond to the B button.
He briefly dives into Pokemon Legends: Arceus to demonstrate the controller's movement capabilities. Of course, the highlight is his brief foray into Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, though to get this game to work properly, he had to write a script to get the A button to hold to allow auto-acceleration as well.
Well, here’s some bad news for people who live in Belgium or the Netherlands and are excited to play Diablo Immortal, Blizzard’s upcoming free-to-play dungeon crawler out June 2 on PC and mobile devices. It turns out, due to local loot box laws, that Blizzard’s next action RPG won’t be released in either country.
The Honkai: Star Rail second closed beta is on, and people once again get a chance to be the Trailblazer and ride the Astral Express to different places. I had a chance to go through a bit of the game. While I wasn’t fortunate enough to get any five-star units, I did notice something it has in common with HoYoVerse’s other titles. Even in its early phases, Honkai: Star Rail feels like it relies very heavily on its characters to interest players and move the story along.
Honkai: Star Rail starts with players following a mysterious woman named Kafka through the Herta Space Station. She and Silver Wolf are looking for an item Kafka calls the Cancer of All Worlds, a Stellaron. When they find it, Kafka proceeds to shove it into the the Trailblazer. Like Genshin Impact’s Traveler, this is the player avatar. After some ominous words and suggesting the player will need to make a “choice,” the two disappear. That’s when Dan Heng and March 7th, Astral Express members, appear to save the day. The Trailblazer is an insomniac now on a space station besieged by the Antimatter Legion.
During WonHobby G Spring 2022, Good Smile Company showed off a NieR: Automata short hair A2 Nendoroid. Now, people can already place a pre-order for it. This latest A2 figure will show up in November 2022 in Japan. After that, it will appear in January 2023 in North America. She'll cost ¥6,600/$59.99. Also, as people might expect, she'll be compatible with the A2 Nendoroid that is already available.
As is typical for Nendoroids, the short hair A2 one will come with three face plates. One offers a neutral expression. Another features something of a melancholy smile. The third is a shouting one that could be used for combat poses. She'll also come with two weapons. One is the Beastlord large sword. The other is a pair of Type-3 Fists Combat Bracers.
Here's a closer look at this version of the A2 figure and her parts.

The elder Kofune sister is getting a figure next year. Good Smile Company opened pre-orders for the Summertime Rendering Ushio Kofune Nendoroid. She'll show up in January 2023 in Japan. After that, people should be able to find her in North America in March 2023. She'll cost ¥6,200/$56.99.
Ushio is wearing the swimsuit she appears in both in flashbacks and during the story in Summertime Rendering. You can display her both with and without the necklace Shinpei Ajiro gave her. She also comes with it as an accessory she can hold. She can be posed holding a plate of curry with rice and a fork too. As for her faceplates, she'll come with three. One features a gentle smile. The other offers an enthusiastic, wide smile. The final one makes it look as though she's angry.
Here's a full gallery showing off accessories and potential poses for this Ushio figure.
[gallery columns="5" ids="928685,928686,928687,928688,928684" link="file"]
She was one of multiple anime figures to show up at WonHobby G Spring 2022.
The latest Fire Emblem Heroes Legendary unit is Myrrh: Guardian Dragon. She is available via a new Legendary banner that is available today. This marks the fourth version of the Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones character to appear in the game.
Myrrh: Guardian Dragon is a flying, blue dragon unit. She has the unique Godly Breath weapon that can accelerate her Special trigger, inflict -5 Atk/Def/Res/Spd on an enemy if she’s near an ally, ensures she makes a follow up attack, reduces her damage from attacks and area of effect specials, and reduces damage she takes from ranged units. She also has the new Def/Res Unity and Darkling Guardian Passive skills.
As usual, Legendary Myrrh isn’t the only focus unit on this Fire Emblem Heroes banner. Here are the other characters appearing at a higher rate on it.
Sony’s upcoming PlayStation State of Play was recently announced to showcase new reveals and sneak peeks. Since past events have revealed some pretty major titles before, fans are starting to come up with their own predictions for what we could see this time around. While we await the start of the event, here are five things we can expect from this week’s PlayStation State of Play.
Games from third-party partners are one of the main focuses of this upcoming event. Although there isn’t an official list of titles, fans have a few theories on what Sony will showcase, including Final Fantasy XVI and Street Fighter 6.
Earlier today, it was revealed that Assassin’s Creed Origins would be one of the four games that are coming to Xbox Game Pass for the month of June. Now, just a few hours after this announcement, Ubisoft also revealed some exciting news for next-gen fans of the series as well.
As of June 2, 2022, Assassin’s Creed Origins will be 60FPS on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. This news came by way of a tweet, which stated that the moment fans had been waiting for has finally arrived.
Originally released back in 2017, Assassin’s Creed Origins served as a soft reboot for the franchise, choosing to focus more on RPG mechanics as opposed to stealth. Since then, the series has branched out even more with Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
Iron Banner is a rotating PvP mode in Destiny 2 where players can earn new loot in the form of weapons and armor. For Season of the Haunted, the mode has introduced a new format, a new game mode, and some confusing terminology for players. One of the challenges this season is to finish a Daily Challenge, but the game does little when it comes to explaining what this actually is. In this guide, we will show you how to finish a Daily Challenge in Iron Banner.
Daily Challenges are actually straightforward to find if you know exactly where to look. If you go into your Director, the Crucible, and hover over the Iron Banner node, you will see the above pop-up. This will give you some details on the mode, and at the bottom, it will say “Challenges.”
Each season in Destiny 2, Lord Saladin arrives to test Guardian’s might in the Iron Banner. In the Season of the Haunted, he has a new quest to complete called Forging Iron.
To begin the Forging Iron quest, players will need to visit Lord Saladin. He has moved to a new location this season, and can now be found directly in front of the spawn locations in the main Tower courtyard. Interact with him and then grab the quest when he offers it to you.
Overall, the Forging Iron quest is quite straightforward. All you really need to do is play Iron Banner matches and take part in minor activities around those matches. It is a much easier and more run-of-the-mill quest than it has been in previous years.
Iron Banner is a limited-time PvP mode in Destiny 2. Unlike most PvP options in the game, Power level matters, and the higher your Power the more damage you will do and the less damage you will take. The mode now centers around a match-type called Rift that is essentially a capture the flag mode but with a neutral flag at the center of the map.
Earlier this year, indie developer Blaze Games released their second horror game title, Rabbit Hole, to Steam early access. This Silent Hill-like game follows Shaun Turner, a man trying to untangle a twisted web of supernatural events and mysteries to save his family but also escape from the hellish remains of his hometown.
Earlier this week, one of the developers took to Reddit to ask fans if there would be any interest in their horror title coming to consoles. You can see the post to the Xbox One subreddit by gambidivide for yourself below.
The Redditors were rather receptive to the idea, suggesting that the developers do their best to try and get the game on Xbox and GamePass via Id@Xbox, even recommending some constructive feedback regarding achievement scores if they did go that route.
Currently, Rabbit Hole is only available on Steam. If you’d like to see more about the game, you can check out an official description below.
Developer miHoYo’s latest update has players scrambling to find a bunch of materials necessary to complete all the various new quests. Some of the most interesting of these actually center around improving furniture and decor with specific dyes. Here we’ll be detailing how to get Red Dye in Genshin Impact.
While there have been 11 weeks of Resistance quests this season, is wouldn’t be any surprise to call this the toughest quest of them all. You’ll arrive at this quest after dealing with the emergency beacon. For this quest, we will cover how to equip the backpack and collect fuel cells near Command Cavern in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2.
Before we get to the actual quest, we must first clear the opening objective. We will have to “Establish Device Uplink near Seven Outpost II or Seven Outpost V.” There are several different spots to do this, but the best is that far northwest one on top of the mountain.
Today, a brief teaser for SEGA’s new upcoming open-world 3D adventure, Sonic Frontiers, which was originally unveiled at The Game Awards 2021, was revealed. The trailer came by way of IGN First, which showed off a world-exclusive gameplay teaser for the game, featuring some of the fast-paced action fans can expect from he next game in the franchise.
According to the video’s description, IGN will be covering the Sonic Frontiers all June, posting hands-on gameplay clips, interviews, and much more. You can check out the small preview of what is to come for yourself, alongside a quick description of the game, right down below.
Worlds will collide in Sonic the Hedgehog’s newest adventure. An experience like never before, accelerate to new heights and experience the thrill of high velocity open-zone freedom. Battle powerful enemies as you speed through the Starfall Islands – landscapes brimming with dense forests, overflowing waterfalls, sizzling deserts and more! ! This Holiday 2022 – Journey into new realms.
Sonic Frontiers is the next attempt to make Sonic work in a 3D world, with Sega referring to it as the blue hedgehog's "first ever open zone" game. Now there's a first teaser trailer of it in action, showing Sonic zipping around a seemingly vast world and bashing giant robots to bits.
Our Iron Harvest review referred to the real-time strategy game as "Company Of Heroes with mechs", which is a strong pitch. A future update is planning on borrowing yet more ideas from mid-00s strategy games, with the addition of a campaign world map.
Euro Truck Simulator 2's next DLC was going to be headed to Russia, with signifcant work on creating the vast country already finished. Now developers SCS Software say that they've decided not to release the expansion, "so that it is not perceived in any way as being in support of or tolerance of the aggression."
This year's big, Geoff-Keighley-hosted Summer Game Fest livestream is a little over a week away, and, as the build-up to its 9th June airing continues, all developers and publishers taking part in the show have been revealed.
Organisers are calling Summer Game Fest a "spectacular live, 2 hour world premiere showcase" that's promising "premieres, gameplay demos and news on some of the most highly anticipated games from more than 30 developers and publishers".
And with the event rapidly approaching, it's now confirmed viewers can expect appearances - in some capacity at least - from 2K, Activision, Atlus, Bandai Namco, Bloober Team, Capcom, Coffee Stain, Deep Silver, Devolver Digital, Digital Extremes, DotEmu, Electronic Arts, Epic Games, Focus Entertainment, Frost Giant Studios, Humble Games, Level Infinite, Mediatonic, MiHoYo, Netflix, PlayStation, Raw Fury, Samsung Gaming Hub, Sega, Skybound Games, Square Enix, Steam, Studio MDHR, Tribeca Festival, Warner Bros. Games, and Xbox.
Sonic Frontiers was teased way back in 2019 before it was teased once again in 2021. It was originally supposed to drop last year, but it instead became a 2022 title, with a new trailer debuting at The Game Awards 2021. Now, as we anticipate the Blue Blur’s 3D return sometime this year, Sega has released a new teaser trailer that gives us just a taste of Sonic’s first open-world foray, and it looks awesome.
This new teaser comes by way of the official Sonic the Hedgehog Twitter account, which released the trailer alongside news that Sonic Frontiers is getting the IGN First treatment in June. In fact, according to the tweet, we’ll be getting some world-exclusive reveals very soon, which, if this teaser trailer is anything to go off of, means we’ll probably be getting some extended looks at gameplay in June. For now, the teaser trailer below will have to do:
Game producer Shinji Hashimoto announced today that he has retired from Square Enix after almost 30 years with the company.
Hashimoto started at Square Soft in 1995 and was the brand manager for both Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts franchises.
"Thank you, everyone. I will retire on May 31st (Tuesday) today. During my tenure, I am very grateful to all of you in various fields," Hashimoto announced on Twitter. "From now on, I would like to support you as a Square Enix fan. I'm really thankful to you."
皆様、お疲れ様です。本日5月31日（火）をもちまして定年退職することになりました。在職中は多方面の皆々様方々には大変お世話になりました。これからは、一スクエニファンとして応援させて頂きたいと思います。本当にありがとうございました。 pic.twitter.com/yIj89uvh8x
— shinji hashimoto (@shinjihashimot3) May 31, 2022
He also posted a video message on Twitter, saying that he enjoyed his time traveling across the world and attending different kinds of events. In recent years, however, he stopped going to them due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While he would have liked to visit everyone in the wake of announcing his retirement, he had to opt for a video message instead.
Even though he's leaving Square Enix, he'll still continue to enjoy video games and play Square Enix titles. Additionally, Hashimoto says that if anyone spots him in public at events, he'll be happy to take photos with them.
Hey! Remember Blitzball? It was that weird-looking, but also kind of cool underwater sport from Final Fantasy X? Well, now Blitzball is (sort of) a part of the Star Wars universe thanks to a person who used to write about the NHL and his new book starring Anakin and Obi-Wan.
Earlier today, Sega shared a brief look at Sonic Frontiers, the next installment of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise launching on every major gaming platform later this year. It’s open-world and very green, so you know what that means: Folks couldn’t help but make comparisons to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild…
Last week, workers at Seven Seas Entertainment, a Los Angeles-based publishing company that sells licensed manga, webcomics, and light novels from Japan, formed the United Workers of Seven Seas union. The union claims Seven Seas employees and freelancers are being “overworked” and “underpaid.” But the company is…
It’s been a while since Riot Games has issued a new game mode for its popular FPS Valorant, but a new leak suggests one could be on the way sooner rather than later. The big surprise is that instead of the typical team-based gameplay it’s a 1v1 mode that pits two players against each other.
The leak comes by way of well-known dataminer ValorLeaks, who posted his findings earlier today over on Twitter:
Seems a 1v1 Arena Gamemode is currently in development. | #VALORANT pic.twitter.com/kBjjHDyQ5l
— Valorleaks | Leaks & Info (@ValorLeaks) May 31, 2022
As you can see, the image highlights what appears to be some sort of beta testing for a potential 1v1 mode. ValorLeaks later includes more information from his sources that indicate it’s either a best of 10 or best of 13 design. Could this be a mode designed for Twitch streamers and influencers to hash it out?
It’s important to note this is clearly some sort of early in-house testing that is by no means guaranteed to make it into the game as a full release. There’s no official word from Riot Games about a 1v1 mode at all so far.
We’ll let you know if we hear anything more moving forward and keep this article updated.
Monument Valley studio Ustwo Games announced today that the mobile series is finally coming to PC this July with the games and their features rebuilt for the platform.
Both Monument Valley and Monument Valley 2 will be released for Steam on July 12, both subtitled as the Panoramic Editions. Both games can be purchased separately or as a bundle with a discounted price. Each game also contains all add-ons and DLC that were released after their mobile launches.
Both games have players solve environmental puzzles through switches, varying paths, and manipulating perspective. The developer said both games have been built exclusively for PC with features like support for ultrawide 21:9 displays and controlling with a keyboard, mouse, or touchpad.
Monument Valley originally launched for iOS and Android devices in 2014, while Monument Valley 2 followed on mobile in 2017. The studio explained in a news post why the port is coming to PC after all these years is that the team never stopped loving the series and that it was “so important to who we are, and to this day, helps us drive forward as a studio with unity. What was initially an experiment quickly ended up becoming something more.”
