Homer or Michael Scott? Test Your Simpsons and The Office Quote Knowledge in This Quiz

1 year 9 months ago

It’d be tough trying to find two more dunderheaded yet loveable characters in the entirety of popular culture than The Simpson’s Homer Simpson and The Office’s Michael Scott.

Yes, the donut-munching nuclear power plant operator and the regional manager of Dunder Mifflin are essentially two sides of the same coin. So, with that in mind, we thought that a quiz testing your quote knowledge on both of these iconic characters was in order.

5 Reasons Obi-Wan Kenobi Is the Greatest Jedi of All Time

1 year 9 months ago

Obi-Wan Kenobi is often credited as one of the greatest Jedi, if not the greatest Jedi of all time. But what is it about him that makes this the case? What has Obi-Wan done to make him such a great Jedi?

Jedi can be explained as people who follow and practice the force and belong to the light side. They are guardians of peace for the galaxy, vowing to only use the force and their lightsabers to accomplish this goal of peace.

While there are many Jedi who fit this criteria, there are specific reasons why Obi-Wan, in particular, is the best of them all.

Concepts like these have been explored by numerous works of science fiction, and video games are certainly no exception. If you’re looking for games to play that feel like Westworld, read on.

From the word go, Frictional Game’s SOMA sees the player working their way through a derelict, subaquatic research station packed to the brim with artificial intelligence that refuse to acknowledge the fact that they aren’t human. As the plot unfolds, the game deepens its themes in kind and frequently turns established plot developments on their heads, opening the door for the player to ask their own questions.

When Does Fall Guys Season 1 Free-to-Play End & When Does Season 2 Start? Answered

1 year 9 months ago

With the TV game show-style battle royale game finally going free-to-play on PlayStation, PC, Xbox and Nintendo Switch, many players are wondering when the first free-to-play Fall Guys season end, so they know how long they’ve got to grind out those levels on their Season Pass. Equally, you might also just be looking forward to some fresh minigames and cosmetics, and so a Fall Guys Season 2 start date may be on your mind.

Fall Guys Season 1 End Date

Fall Guys Season 1 will end on August 29, 2022.

This gives you a couple of months to try and level up your Season Pass as much as you can so you can add as many cosmetics from it as possible. After this date, you’ll no longer be able to unlock any cosmetics you didn’t reach, so if you’re desperate to get that Mecha Godzilla costume, you better start grinding out those levels and reach Tier 100 before it’s too late.

When Does Fall Guys Free-to-Play Season 2 Start?

Fall Guys Season 2 will start on August 30, 2022, the day after Season 1 ends. There will likely be a short amount of server downtime on this day, too, while the developers roll out the new content and make any balance changes or adjustments to usher in the new season.

What to Expect in Fall Guys Season 2

Fall Guys Season 2 will introduce a brand-new Season Pass, complete with a fresh set of cosmetics. There’s also the possibility that we’ll get some new ’rounds’ or minigames to help sift out the best from the rest.

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Review – Everything Old Is New Again

1 year 9 months ago

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak on PC

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak achieves what should be the intention of any expansion: it expands upon the foundations laid down by the base of Monster Hunter Rise, by adding new areas, story content, and most importantly, adding epic new monsters to hunt. But that is only the baseline expectation; where Sunbreak rises up above is in its recontextualization of that original title.

The new areas and monsters are fantastic, but what really blew me away was the mix-ups. Seeing the insane new monsters invade the locations I knew so well from the base game, in configurations that pushed my skills to the limit, never stopped surprising me.

It’s worth noting up-front that accessing Sunbreak is no easy feat if you are starting fresh from the beginning. For the purpose of this review, I played the Steam version of the game and expected to blast through the game on PC in order to get to Sunbreak. I had played Rise on Switch when it launched, and so knew exactly what I needed to do, but it still took me around 30 hours to depart Kamura for Elgado, and begin Sunbreak proper. It helps that Monster Hunter Rise is a phenomenal video game in its own right, but this is a pretty big ask for players not familiar with the series.

Do You Need PS Plus & Xbox Live for Fall Guys? Answered

1 year 9 months ago

Are you wondering if you need PS Plus to play Fall Guys on the PS4 and PS5? Or maybe you’re an Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S player and you’re wondering if Fall Guys requires Xbox Live. Well, this guide will talk you through everything you need to know.

Recently, Mediatonic’s popular online-centric battle royale went free-to-play. As a result, it’s left a bit of a gray area as to whether or not you can play the game completely free of charge, or whether you’ll need an online subscription.

Do You Need PS Plus for Fall Guys on PS4 and PS5?

The good news is no, you don’t need PlayStation Plus in order to enjoy Fall Guys on PS4 and PS5. The game is completely free-to-play on Sony’s consoles, meaning that you won’t have to spend a cent to get yourself into the TV game show battle royale antics. Unless, of course, you want to spend some of your hard-earned cash on Show Bucks, Fall Guys’ microtransaction premium currency.

Does Fall Guys Need Xbox Live Gold to Play on Xbox One & Xbox Series X|S?

It’s the same over on the Xbox consoles, too. You don’t need Xbox Live Gold to play on Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S. Similarly, you don’t need an Xbox Game Pass subscription to download the game. Because Fall Guys is now completely free-to-play, you can just go ahead and download it from the Xbox Store without having to pay a thing.

If you do have an Xbox Game Pass subscription, though, and you’re playing Fall Guys, you can get some free bonus cosmetics and rewards for three months. These are accessed via the ‘Perks’ section of the Game Pass app on your console, or via the Xbox Game Pass app on your smart device.

Cyberpunk 2077: Best HDR Settings

1 year 9 months ago

Cyberpunk 2077 somehow manages to look beautiful in some aspects and then fuzzy and unclear in others. We’ve already covered the blurry issue that many players have noticed in a separate article, but here we’ll be going over the best Cyberpunk 2077 HDR settings.

Probably just like you, the very first time I switched the game’s HDR from off to on it seemed to suddenly have a rather washed-out look. It was only after a whole bunch of fiddling with both the HDR settings and my TV settings that it appeared more vibrant and along the lines of what one would expect HDR to do. It’s still not perfect, and quite honestly some will actually find the game to look better on SDR, but it’s at least a whole lot better than before.

Before we continue, do note that settings like Film Grain, Motion Blur, and Chromatic Aberration should be turned off for maximum visual clarity. Make sure you’ve done this before messing with HDR.

Best HDR Settings in Cyberpunk 2077

There are only three HDR slider options available to you in Cyberpunk 2077: Maximum Brightness, Paper White, and Tone-Mapping Midpoint. Annoyingly, they only go up in increments of 10, too, so get ready for some button mashing to get them where they need to be.

By default, the standard settings seem to give the whole aesthetic a washed-out look as we mentioned above, but you can solve this by increasing and decreasing their values.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Who Havi Is in Norse Mythology

1 year 9 months ago

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla not only takes players to the shores of England, Norway, and North America, but also to an entirely different universe. Just as was the case in Origins and Odyssey before it, Ubisoft’s latest RPG features a mythological questline, too. This time, players travel to Asgard and Jotunheim, two iconic locations in Norse mythology. But when they arrive they aren’t playing as Eivor. So, if you’re playing Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and wondering who Havi is in Norse mythology, here’s what you need to know.

Who Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s Havi Is in Norse Mythology

According to a quick web search and referring to my trusty The Penguin Book of Norse Myths: Gods of the Vikings (Kevin Crossley-Holland, 1982), Havi is an alternative name for Odin. It roughly means “High One.”

This may not actually come as a huge surprise if you’ve played through even a short amount of the Asgard quest arc in Valhalla since many of the other gods refer to Eivor as Odin. But why the Havi name in the first place?

Well, it seems to be somewhat similar to calling a Roman Emporer “Ceaser” or an English King “Lord.”

As it happens, Odin actually has many names in Norse mythology, including Bróðr Vilis / Bróðr Vilja – “Brother of Vili,” which should mean something to you if you have played through the Snotinghamscire questline.

Of course, the name Odin is far more recognizable. Although, one reference to Havi that you might be familiar with is within the word “Hávamál.” This fairly well-known collection of Old Norse poems reads almost like a philosophical code of conduct, and the stories are supposed to be based on the words of Odin himself. The word Hávamál literally means “words of The High One.”

Minor story spoilers follow.

Can You Read My Hero Academia Manga Online for Free? Answered

1 year 9 months ago

Given the immense popularity of My Hero Academia has found since the first release of its anime adaptation in 2016, you may be wanting to read its source material: the original manga by author Kohei Horikoshi. If you’re wondering if My Hero Academia is available to be read for free online, we have you covered with all the information you need below.

Can You Read My Hero Academia Manga Online for Free?

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the straightforward answer here is no, the My Hero Academia manga is not available for free online. That being said, the silver lining is that My Hero Academia is readily available to purchase digitally from multiple storefronts and ViZ Media provides the most recent three chapters for free on their website.

The website for ViZ Media, My Hero Academia’s official English publisher, is the easiest recommendation to make for purchasing the manga, but it’s also available for the same cost on Google Play, Apple Books, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble.

Fairy Fencer F: Refrain Chord for PS5, PS4, & Switch Features Gameplay & Dramatic Resonance in New Trailers

1 year 10 months ago

Compile Heart revealed new trailers of its upcoming JRPG Fairy Fencer F: Refrain Chord.

The trailers show glimpses of gameplay, introduce the characters, and retain the musical themes of previous reveals showing a “dramatic resonance.”

The second video features the song “Story of Eternity” performed by Luna Haruna, one of the singing voices of the diva Fleur, intermingled with “Curse of Thousand Nights” performed by Aira Yuhki, one of the voices of the rival diva Glace.

Dramatic resonances are an interesting key concept implemented in the game, with songs that can be mashed up when they are performed at the same time on the battlefield.

This creates a “Dramatic Resonance” area, a positional element in which both the buffs created by the friendly diva and the debuffs created by the enemy diva are doubled in effect. Basically, you can step into that area for some high-risk, high-reward plays and you can check out more of how it sounds in previous videos.

Harley Quinn Season 3 will also see the return of staple characters such as Clayface, King Shark, and Batman while bringing in new characters like Firefly, the Court of Owls, and James Gunn. Yes, director and writer James Gunn will be making an appearance this season.

The teaser showcases these characters, along with some of the bonkers things audiences can expect to see. For example, there looks to be a certain scene between Catwoman and Batman that references a popular meme of the two on Twitter.

Battle Royale Game Spellbreak Shutting Down Servers in 2023

1 year 10 months ago

Spellbreak, the free-to-play magic-based battle royale game, will be shutting down its servers in early 2023, developer Proletariat announced today.

“Our vision was to create a fresh, multiplayer action-spellcasting game with exceptional movement and class customization that would give players the chance to unleash their inner battlemage,” the studio said in a statement from the announcement. “We are grateful to everyone in the game’s community for exploring the magical worlds and experiences we created together. Spellbreak was an ambitious project that saw our team push new boundaries in design and development and we are excited to continue to innovate as we create new titles in the future.”

Spellbreak first launched into early access on PC in 2018, then officially released for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in 2020. The battle royale game differentiated from others as the genre became more popular at the time by replacing guns with magical abilities. Up to 42 players could equip and upgrade their spells every match until one person or team survived.

It did very well when it officially launched, racking up five million players in its first month, but its interest has seemingly waned as more battle royale type games have flooded the market since then.

1 year 10 months ago

It’s no secret that the Nintendo Switch is home to some absolutely bizarre games. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes came out of nowhere in the latest Nintendo Direct and brought an unsettling atmosphere. This game will be for those who like weirdly abstract puzzle games. Here’s when Lorelei and the Laser Eyes will be coming out.

When Lorelei and the Laser Eyes Will Come Out

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes will be coming to PC and Switch in 2023, that is all we know for a release date thus far. It makes sense that a mysterious game would have a mysterious release date.

For those who maybe don’t understand what the Lorelei and the Laser Eyes reveal trailer during the Nintendo Direct was trying to show you, we have more details. The Steam page still plays into the enigma, but at the very least it describes the game as “a non-linear adventure.” Though, going by the trailer, that doesn’t mean too much.

1 year 10 months ago

Today, during the Nintendo Direct Mini broadcasted by the house of Mario and Zelda, Square Enix announced Harvestella.

The game is a fantasy farming and life simulation JRPG that will surely feel familiar to fans of the Story of Seasons or Rune Factory franchises, and it’ll release for Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam on November 4. The Switch version will also launch physically at retail.

Below you can check out the announcement trailer directly from Square Enix.

Harvestella features a colorful world with changing seasons and prompts the player to explore, tend to their crops, make new friends, and face enemies in dynamic combat.

The game promises “challenging dungeons” and a job system with classes like Fighter, Shadow Walker, and Mage.

It also features art by Isamu Kamikokuryo of Final Fantasy fame and music by Go Shiina, known for the Tales series and more.

One interesting element is the coming of the season of death, Quietus, which causes the world to become inhospitable and the crops to wither, adding a unique element that usually isn’t included in other farming and life sims and RPGs.

When Does RPG Time: The Legend of Wright Come Out?

1 year 10 months ago

The Nintendo Direct had plenty of big games to show off, along with some surprise announcements. It’s been almost a year since RPG Time: The Legend of Wright was last shown off, and news of the game has been largely silent until this release date reveal. Here’s when RPG Time: The Legend of Wright will be coming out.

When RPG Time: The Legend of Wright Will Come Out

RPG Time: The Legend of Wright will be headed to Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on Aug. 18.

It’s impressive when you look at the very stylized papercraft visuals and remember that the developer, DESK WORKS, is only a two-person studio.

The game has been through a couple delays to get to this point. The release date has been pushed back every time the game has been brought to shows like E3 or Tokyo Game Show in the past. When RPG Time: The Legend of Wright was first announced at E3 2019, it was said to be getting a 2020 release date. It obviously missed that and was later shown off at Tokyo Game Show 2021 with improved visuals. At that time, it was given a release date of winter 2021.

Seeing as this is the first time we’ve gotten an actual date for RPG Time: The Legend of Wright, this might mean it will stick the landing.
