Developer Massive Entertainment and publisher Ubisoft have now released the looter shooter sequel, The Division 2. While players are still checking out everything Washington D.C. has to offer, such as a certain hidden side mission, there also appears to be an alligator Easter egg that many may want to check out. For context, this alligator can be seen in the sewers of Washington D.C. This Easter egg alludes to old urban myths of residents finding an alligator in their city’s sewer system, with these stories usually concentrated in New York City, the location of the first Division....

While most players are familiar with the iconic ten races of The Elder Scrolls, there are a number of different races that exist in this universe. Some of these races have played vital roles in the lore of the games to eliminate great threats, some are evil, and others are on the brink of extinction. It’s unlikely Bethesda will add any new playable races to the game considering it’s been almost 20 years since the last race, the Orcs or Orsimer, were added to Morrowind....

The Lost City began filming in the jungles of the Dominican Republic in May 2021. That is less than a year ago. But considering how different the world was even 10 months back, it may as well have been a lifetime for star, producer, and overall Lost City champion, Sandra Bullock. It’s easy to forget now, but the vaccine rollout was still in its early fitful days during the movie’s pre-production phase, and until those cameras rolled the process was its own desperate escape....

Like a normal person, I make sure to carefully examine the feet of every character model in a video game. After all, if Spider-Man’s ridiculously detailed shoes taught us anything, it’s that developers love to hide ornate details in the weirdest places. However, another Sony game has truly taken next-gen foot tech to the next level in their new Demon’s Souls remake. No, seriously. Next time you’re in the Nexus, turn on the game’s excellent photo mode when you get close to the Maiden in Black....

The biggest obstacle that players will face as they progress through The Medium is the creature that continuously hunts them, known as the Maw. While the Maw may look menacing, there are several tips that will help The Medium players when they encounter this hulking monstrosity. Mechanically, the Maw shares many similarities to the Nemesis in Resident Evil 3 and only appears during specific segments throughout The Medium’s campaign. During these segments, the player will almost always need to avoid the creature and escape the room they are currently in....

On Nov. 24, 1971, night before Thanksgiving, a man identified as Dan Cooper hijacked a Northwest Orient Boeing 727 flight bound for Seattle. He told the pilots to circle around a few times before he parachuted out with $200,000, never to be heard from again. A team of 40 FBI agents, criminologists, journalists, and attorneys worked the case for decades. In 1972, 15 copycat hijackings were pulled. The last D.B. Cooper wannabe hijacked a plane on July 11, 1980....

This Star Wars: Andor review contains spoilers. Star Wars: Andor Episode 4 Before 2016, the character of Mon Mothma was mostly the answer to a trivia question. Although she is ostensibly the leader of the entire Rebel Alliance, Mon Mothma doesn’t even appear until Return of the Jedi, and then, only for one scene, to explain the plan to kill the Emperor and destroy the second Death Star. We don’t see her during the Battle of Endor, and she doesn’t stop by for an Ewok hug in the end, either....

This article contains spoilers for The Book of Boba Fett. No one said becoming a crime lord on Tatooine would be easy. Yet, Boba Fett thought it would be as simple as killing Bib Fortuna and taking a seat on Jabba the Hutt’s old throne. But as The Book of Boba Fett shows, that road is in fact a very bumpy one. The new daimyo of Mos Espa expected all of Jabba’s former subordinates to bow down and pay tribute....

A fan of Star Wars Battlefront has created an unbelievable photorealistic graphics modification, and will be releasing the mod to the public soon. Star Wars Battlefront has only been on the frontlines for about a week now, and while most fans are working hard at leveling up, others have been finding ways to improve the game as a whole. One intrepid fan has created a stunning graphical enhancement mod for Star Wars Battlefront, and is using the attention the modification receives to direct potential employers to his LinkedIn account....

It has been four years since the hit indie game Stardew Valley was released to the PC, before eventually heading to consoles and mobile devices. In the long period since Stardew Valley was introduced to gamers, developer Eric Barone, who singlehandedly designed the game from scratch, still introduces consistent content updates for the game. Now, Barone revealed that banana trees will be heading to Pelican Town soon. This means that players will be able to grow and harvest fruits in the game, and bananas will be the first fruit that players will receive in a future update....

Stardew Valley has been a mega-hit ever since the indie game was released in 2016 by the one-person development team ConcernedApe aka Eric Barone. Unsurprisingly, the game just reached a new level of success, after the release of its update 1.5 that resulted in Stardew Valley hitting a new player count record on Steam. Of course, the resurgence of Stardew Valley’s popularity is not at all surprising given that the latest update introduced a massive amount of content that includes a new Beach Farm layout, new game options, several quality-of-life changes, local split-screen co-op, among many others....

After last fall’s successful game festival, Steam is set to make our winter doldrums disappear with the February 2021 edition of the Steam Game Festival. Featuring over 500 games, the Steam Game Festival is the perfect opportunity for PC gamers to explore a wide swath of titles from across the entire spectrum of gaming genres. Valve did not give us a full list of games that will be taking part, but the trailer did give us a few titles that certainly seem promising....

This article contains spoilers for Succession season 3 episode 2. The Roy siblings of Succession may not have known the details, but they knew the men involved in the Waystar cruise line scandal, and that makes them culpable. However, making that point with sincerity and without clever put-downs or cheeky irony was bound to go over as well as a free steak dinner at a vegan lifestyle convention. Sparks fly every time the Roy children get in a room due to a palpable sense of competition, but also the unspoken feeling that only they know what it’s like to grow up with Logan Roy as their father....

After releasing an enhanced version of the original System Shock back in 2015, Night Dive Studios decided to move forward with a full-fledged remake. Since being delayed into 2018, there has been little news on the remake, but we now know that development on it has temporarily paused, and the team put on hiatus. This was announced on Kickstarter by Night Dive Studios CEO Stephen Kick. According to Kick, development of the System Shock remake has suffered from scope creep, meaning that it has become a much larger project than originally intended....

Different people will have various ideas about what who counts as a small Twitch streamer. A millionaire rapper like T-Pain probably wouldn’t be the first on many people’s lists, but he clearly feels differently based on a funny rant about the struggles of being a small streamer on Twitch. T-Pain complained about the size of his audience compared to popular streamers during a recent Twitch stream. When someone in the chat said that T-Pain wasn’t a small streamer, he snapped back by naming a number of streamers with several times his number of views....

With the recent Overwatch 2 announcement that PvP matches will shrink from 6v6 to 5v5, with only one tank allowed on each side, pro Overwatch tank players are worried about their job security. The current meta has teams of six playing in a 2x2x2 formation, with two DPS, two healers, and two tanks. Matches in the Overwatch League (OWL) are currently comprised of two teams of six players, with six additional players allowed to be swapped between maps....

The Capcom card game Teppen has generated quite the active community so far, with many fans sharing their best decks on Reddit and other forums. Some of these decks are especially powerful and can give players a serious advantage over the competition, like the Nergigante deck put together by Reddit user IIExshadowII. IIExshadowII has seen a great deal of success with their Nergigante deck, reaching #1 on the leaderboards, so it’s definitely something players will want to look into....

The graveyard is a player-made biome created by dying too much. There are different biomes in Terraria that have different themed enemies and blocks. These are obvious and automatically within the game, but the graveyard is not. If you play on PC and have been having extra trouble with an enemy or boss above ground, you may have already seen these strange effects. The graveyard biome makes all colors in the surrounding area dull and produces a creepy fog....

Christmas will come early this year, as Sony plans to release the PlayStation 5 by this November. Designed to provide players with the smoothest gaming experiences from shorter loading times, to better graphics, to better sensory gameplay, Sony lays down the foundation for what is going to be a new generation of gaming. And don’t forget that a new generation also means a new generation of games.

Sony may still be going strong, but it has been a long time since the first PlayStation was relevant, which is why we imagine most players don’t have one lying around the house. Despite that, we want to honor the PS1 by taking a look at some of the games that people will remember from those nostalgic days. However, this isn’t only going to be a list about good video games, as want to take a look at some of the weirdest ones that the PS1 had to offer....
