I’ve logged hundreds of hours on Stardew Valley since it was released in 2016, and I’m eagerly awaiting Haunted Chocolatier, but I had no idea there was another ConcernedApe game I hadn’t played. ConcernedApe is the moniker of Stardew Valley developer Eric Barone, and until recently I thought the famous farming simulator was his first-ever game. However, in retrospect, it makes sense that Barone had at least some experience making games before releasing something as polished as Stardew Valley. View the full article

I cannot overstate how much The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild consumed me when I finally got into it. Sure, it took me a few attempts, but eventually, I understood why everyone else loved it so much, and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. Its unique approach to open-world exploration, coupled with its soothingly beautiful apocalypse that is as melodic as it is melancholic, makes for a truly breathtaking experience unlike any other. Well, I say unlike any other, but that isn't quite true. View the full article

New DLC content has been added to Grand Theft Auto Online, including "Oscar Guzman Flies Again," a special mission you can start for various rewards. From my experience, this mission is great to replay for a consistent income, making it worth starting multiple times. You can earn up to $750,000 every time you finish this Contract associated with Oscar Guzman, but there are no clear instructions for its beginning. View the full article

Fortnite reverted its Rocket ammo nerf two hours after it was issued, which has players wondering why it was ever changed. In each Fortnite season, there tends to be a selection of weapons that stand out as better than the rest, depending on who is using them. There are weapons like Sub-Zero's Kombat Kit, which lets people use an Ice Slide to charge forward before unleashing a barrage of melee attacks, and many others that make the experience more challenging for someone's foes.

When Marvel Rivalswas first revealed, it was hard not to feel like it was just another Overwatch clone, one that would struggle to find an audience, even despite it being based on one of the most popular IPs at the moment. However, upon launch, Marvel Rivals shattered expectations, and deservedly so. Its blend of well-tuned heroes - minus a few completely broken ones - and fun abilities, coupled with its streamlined gameplay and amazing character designs saw it shoot to the top of the Steam charts.

World of Warcraft just came down hard on RAoV Quality Assurance, a guild that somehow managed to kill Mythic Gallywix in Liberation of Undermine well ahead of the race to world first by using exploits. Though the guild has seemingly been scrubbed and the Hall of Fame victory cleared, evidence of the World of Warcraft cheaters’ illegitimate clear can still be found. View the full article

You may have noticed that Monster Hunter Wilds hides its armor and weapon designs before you've found the materials to make them, which has some annoying side effects at times. While this feature is great for preventing spoilers regarding every monster found in Wilds, it can often cause you to go the entire game without even knowing a piece of equipment ever existed in the first place. The Sinister Cloth is precisely one of those items, as the Sinister Cloth material hides one of the coolest armor sets in the game by far behind its secret requirements. View the full article

The recent DLC for Grand Theft Auto Online added new features, including the McKenzie Field Hanger, a location you can buy and use to participate in special Heist missions for a steady income. You can earn plenty of money from this Hangar after completing its Contract work.

My hometown has a soccer team now. I live in the United States, so this is kind of a big deal. It's been a cool experience to have a local team, and has led to some really interesting experiences, such as watching the lovely yet bizarre spectacle of internationally ranked goalkeeper Roman Bürki stalwartly defending the honor of my brand new hot pink midwestern American soccer team. When I see him bravely fighting in goal, a bunch of howling fans at his back, in Missouri for some reason, I am faced with one thought that outranks all others: give that man a gun...

If you have purchased the WWE 2K25 Bloodline or Deadman Edition, you are probably busy enjoying the advanced access. However, the seven days of early access isn't only the set of benefits to your account. Both editions have several in-game goodies that can be accessed from within the game. While the process is simple, new players might wonder where their entitled bonuses are. If you also pre-ordered your copy, you'll receive an extra set of bonuses (available on all editions as long as they were ordered before the game's launch). How to access Bloodline/Deadman Edition bonuses in WWE 2K25 For starters, you'll need to ensure the DLC has been installed. While the process is automatic on consoles, you might have to manually check it once on Steam if you use the PC version. The Bloodline and Deadman Editions have bonus items that can be unlocked from the MyFaction mode. To do so, you'll need to complete the tutorial. This shouldn't take more than a few minutes and will teach you the very basics of the mode. Once the tutorial is complete, you can go to the unopened packs section. This section will feature any packs you have received but haven't opened. Image via Destructoid The Pre-Order rewards include the Wyatt Sicks Pack, which consists of the Persona cards of five superstars: Dexter Lumis, Erick Rowan, Joe Gacy, Nikki Cross, and Uncle Howdy. The DLC content will be automatically installed, and you can access the cards from the packs section in the MyFaction mode. The MyFaction mode also includes a host of different Persona cards, and some of them can be pretty hard to unlock. As of writing, all bonuses are available barring the WrestleMania 41 Pack and the Mattel Elite Collection Greatest Hits Undertaker card. It's unclear as to when they will be added, but I don't think it will be too long before we get our hands on the missing content.

While the vast landscapes of Red Dead Redemption 2 and its predecessor made a lasting impression on players, another element that made its mark was the selection of well-crafted characters. Even though the main story of both games is complete, many memorable side characters are still left with untold stories or potential for a future encounter. These characters weren't just extras; they had their own unique backgrounds and often boasted as much depth as some main characters. View the full article

The Monster Hunter series is no stranger to odd collectibles, and Monster Hunter Wilds carries on that tradition with items like the Origin Wylk Gem. Knowing where to find these items not only nets you a healthy bit of investigation points but also helps you more easily stock up on rare items. Where to get Origin Wylk Gem in Monster Hunter Wilds Screenshot by Destructoid Only one location in Monster Hunter Wilds generates Origin Wylk Gem: the Ruins of Wyveria. You don't earn access to that location until near the end of the Low Rank story campaign, and you have to re-earn access to the Ruins in High Rank, as well. Screenshot by Destructoid Origin Wylk Gem is a special item, meaning it has no use while in a hunt. You'll only find them by gathering from one of two points, called Whitegleam Gemstone, in the Ruins. The first is on the south end of Area 7 on the second floor of the zone. The second is on the southeastern end of Area 9, also on the second floor. Screenshot by Destructoid Screenshot by Destructoid [/url] [/url] [/url] You can only gather one Origin Wylk Gem per attempt, and the gathering point goes on a 15-minute cooldown once used. That should net you at a hard limit of eight Gems per hour, but there's currently a (likely unintended) workaround. After collecting, fast travel to any other region in the game, then immediately return to the Ruins of Wyveria. That should reset the timer, and you can gather Origin Wylk Gems again. What to do with Origin Wylk Gems in Monster Hunter Wilds Screenshot by Destructoid As they're not consumables or crafting materials, there are only a few uses for Origin Wylk Gems. When used properly, however, they can be incredibly valuable. As of writing, there are two main uses for Origin Wylk Gems: Item Trading. Item trading is a great way to get unique and hard-to-find materials without the hassle of hunting for them. Each major region hug, like Azuz, Kunafa, and so on, has at least one trader that lets you exchange a rotating list of items. You'll spend Origin Wylk Gems primarily with Ren in the village of Sild in the Ruins of Wyveria. He won't always accept them for trade, so stock up during off hours to prepare you for whatever he has available next.Sell for Zenny. If you choose, you can simply sell Origin Wylk Gems for 500 Zenny apiece. It's a paltry sum considering their relative scarcity and the value you can get out of the Gems by trading them. If you're low on cash, they're one of many special items you could sell to pad your bank account. Now you know where to get and what to do with any Origin Wylk Gems you collect in your Monster Hunter Wilds adventure. It's not imperative you stock up on a massive stack of them, but having at least a dozen or so handy for the odd trade will save you that little bit of extra time.

We're flying high in the sky during BitLife's Defying Gravity challenge. Starting as a regular girl in Kansas, you'll spend time studying physics before becoming a pilot and flying your own personal airplane. You'll need time and plenty of in-game money to do it, but at least there's no crime involved. BitLife Defying Gravity challenge guide BitLife's Defying Gravity challenge has five tasks to complete: Be born a female in KansasBecome best friends with a popular girl in schoolStudy Physics in universityWork as a pilotFly an airplane that you own You won't need any special career packs or expansions for this particular challenge. However, having the Golden Diploma can help you finish university quicker, especially since this challenge requires two degrees. You'll also need lots of money for an airplane, which you have several options to obtain. Be born a female in Kansas During BitLife's Defying Gravity challenge, your first goal is to be born a female in Kansas. To do this, pick female as your starting gender, the United States as your country, and Kansas City as your place. While you have other options like Wichita, Kansas City is always a safe bet. Screenshot by Destructoid Once you create your character, age up until you attend school to prepare for the next objective. You'll have a few in-game years to finish it, but working fast will help give you one less thing to worry about. Become best friends with a popular girl in school Becoming best friends with a popular girl in school first requires finding someone who fits this criteria. Now that your character is in school, head to School, your school, and Class before selecting each of your classmates. You'll find a bar next to "Popularity" with your main goal being to find someone with an almost maxed-out stat. Screenshot by Destructoid After finding a popular girl at your character's school, befriend her before attempting to become her best friend. At first, she might say no, especially if your relationship isn't maxed. If this happens, go through your class list again and repeat the process until one becomes your best friend. You can change your status by heading into Relationships, selecting your friend, and picking Change Our Status. Study Physics in university With a best friend by your side, it's time to move on to university. Once your character turns 18 and graduates high school, enrol in a university program and pick physics as your major. Screenshot by Destructoid Completing this will knock out the third task, but it isn't enough for the fourth. Instead, after completing your physics program, enrol again and pick Engineering. You won't need it yet, but you will require it later. Work as a pilot After studying physics and engineering at university, you'll have one more requirement to fulfil: getting a pilot's license. To do this, head into Activities, License, and Flight School. You need 40 hours in Flight School, so be prepared to spend a few thousand. Screenshot by Destructoid Once you complete 40 hours of Flight School, select Pilot's License and answer the quiz question correctly. If you're unfamiliar with this quiz, we have a complete list of BitLife's Pilot License test answers. Correctly answering it will give you your license, making you eligible to apply for a Pilot ******** position in the full-time job list. Fly an airplane that you own After applying for a pilot ******** position and passing the interview, you'll be ready to complete the final task of flying your own airplane. Thankfully, you already have a pilot's license, so you won't have to worry about that. Instead, the main obstacle is having the money to afford one. You'll find a list of airplanes in Activities, Shopping, and Aircraft Brokers. If you're lucky, you'll find gliders for as low as $100,000, giving you an easy way to finish this objective without paying millions. Otherwise, don't be too surprised if the lowest price plane costs a few hundred thousand. After buying a plane, you'll find it under Assets and Vehicles. From here, you can select it and fly it to knock out the final task of BitLife's Defying Gravity challenge, rewarding you with a mysterious prize box.
