Quick Links Minecraft’s third Golem, the Copper Golem, has a very interesting position as a passive mob that has a direct function that’s different from most other mobs. That function isn’t as food, defense, or any kind of resource; that function is entirely predicated upon organization. Copper Golems will take items out of Copper Chests and distribute them into regular chests that contain the same kind of item. These Golems can save you a lot of time when it comes to keeping your storage area organized, and while things similar to this have been possible in the past, this is a much simpler method....

Grand Theft Auto 6should be everything I hate. I’m always complaining about games taking too long to develop, and theGTAseries is Exhibit A. In the early ’00s,Rockstarput one of these games out every year or two. But as the 2000s became the 2010s, the studio switched to a one-game-every-console-generation model. It’s been seven years sinceRed Dead Redemption 2, and 12 years sinceGTA 5. If I was talking about another developer, I might say, ‘And for what?...

I’ve been playingPokemonsince Red and Blue. In fact, a few weeksbeforeRed and Blue. To be sure, the games had already been out in Japan for some time before the West got our hands on ‘em, but a buddy of mine had an emulated version of Red before we knew the franchise was destined to go big worldwide. Good times. I caught a Pidgey and everything. Anyway, my point is, like many of you, I’ve been playing since the beginning....

In most modern forms ofDungeons & Dragonscampaigns, roleplaying has become more rewarding and desired in TTRPG spaces, and with this often comes an intricate campaign plot devised by the dungeon master. This leads to memorable campaigns that can be fun for the party to unravel over time, unlocking its many secrets. This does not mean that the party will know where the plot leads or even begins, unknowingly avoiding it entirely by making their own fun in your lovingly crafted world....

Marvel RivalsSeason 3.5 is fast approaching, and with it comesa bunch of new team-ups.

Star Lord is also being added to the Rocket Raccoon Network team-up, and he’s arguably been given the scariest ability of them all....

Mecha Breakhas enjoyed a thoroughly mixed start to life. Its demo, which launched in February, peaked at well over 300,000 players, even thoughmost of them didn’t seem to particularly enjoy the game, and that trend has continued into its full launch. While its player countdidn’t quite reach the heights of its earlier demo, it still peaked at over 132,000 players, which is nothing to be sniffed at,placing it in the top ten peaks of the year....

TheXbox Series S was an incredible deal. You could get a current-era Xbox console for $300 – usually less, thanks to how often it was on sale. For anyone gaming on a budget, anXbox Series Sand a subscription to Game Pass would run you less than $400 upfront and you’d be able to play a good number of the most recent releases without breaking the bank. Now thatGame Pass prices have done nothing but go up, Microsoft decided that it was finally time for the Xbox Series S to follow suit....

Summary The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remasteredhas given players a whole new perspective onSkyrim’s smithing, with some arguing that it’s actually better without and shouldn’t be included inThe Elder Scrolls 6. Outside of its wonderful pre-reveal round of speculation, leaks, and excitement, one of the most interesting things to come out of Oblivion’s recent remaster ishow it’s impacted The Elder Scrolls fans who had previously only played Skyrim. While Oblivion was plenty popular, Skyrim is another beast entirely and one of the most popular RPGs of all time,so it’s been great seeing how people react to the game before it....

I know it’s funny to say thatRemedy Entertainment, which created Game of the Year nomineesControlandAlan Wake 2, deserves more recognition, but it’s true. Alan Wakegarnered a cult following in the 13 years before it got a sequel, while Control was a brilliant and mind-bending dive into Remedy’s modern development potential, released back in 2019. Even if you’re not familiar with either of these works by Remedy’s Creative Director, Sam Lake, you’ll likely know ofMax Payne, Lake’s previous projects with Remedy and Rockstar....

Summary I specifically remember whenFusion Strikelaunched. Icovered it for DualShockers, and at the time, there was a lot of discontent around the set. It followed two of the most hyped expansions inPokemon Trading Card Gamehistory, Celebrations and Evolving Skies, and it brought things back down to earth with a bump. The set was huge, the biggest in the TCG’s history, making it a nightmare for master setters, and its lack of “exciting cards” meant it wasn’t anywhere near as popular as its predecessors....
