One of the biggest departures from Sid Meier's Civilization 7 is undoubtedly religion. Coming from Civilization 6, where religion was a victory type, Civ 7 has massively reduced the role of religion, pushing it into a more ancillary mechanic. In the Antiquity Age, religion is present through pantheons and altars, and, unlike Civ 6, is generally beneficial to every player. The investment required to start a pantheon is also significantly reduced, with its early placement on the civics tree, meaning that every player will, eventually, receive a pantheon.

Half-Life writer Marc Laidlaw confirmed the news in an automatically deleted Instagram Stories post. “Brilliant and original,” Laidlaw said of Antonov. “Made everything better.” According to a recent social media post by Marc Laidlaw, Viktor Antonov - Half-Life 2's visionary art director - has passed away. Assuming this is true, we are extremely saddened to hear this news. [Hidden Content] — LambdaGeneration (@LambdaGen) February 16, 2025 Raphael Colantonio, founder of Arkane Studios and current president and creative director of WolfEye Studios, tweeted to say “You were instrumental to the success of Arkane Studios and an inspiration to many of us, also a friend with whom I have many fond memories.” RIP Viktor Antonov. I wish I told you how much admiration I had for you but we get caught in our lives until a surprise lime this hits us. You were instrumental to the success of Arkane Studios and an inspiration to many of us, also a friend with whom I have many fond memories [Hidden Content] — Raphael Colantonio (@rafcolantonio) February 16, 2025 Antonov was born in Sofia, Bulgaria, and moved to Paris before entering the world of video game development in the mid-90s at Xatrix Entertainment, the Los Angeles-based studio that became Gray Matter Studios. He went on to become one of the chief creatives behind the world of Half-Life 2 for Valve, where he most famously designed Half-Life 2’s iconic City 17. Later, Antonov worked on the influential Dishonored as visual design director at Arkane Studios, co-creating Dunwall. Outside of video games, Antonov was co-author on animated movies Renaissance and The Prodigies, and worked at an indie production company called Darewise Entertainment. In a Reddit AMA held eight years ago, Antonov discussed his early career leading into video game development. I was formed and started my career as a transportation designer. Then I worked in advertisement, but both of those industries were very established and didn't offer me much choice for creative risk taking. As a designer, I was very lucky to find a brand new industry that could use my skills. At this time, the video game industry did not have clearly define positions and an artist could create entire worlds. So I joined the gaming industry relatively early: my first game was ******** Rampage, a crazy funny experience in which I was able to create a big part of the art & world, before moving to more "serious" projects. Antonov based the Orwellian City 17 on his childhood city of Sofia, mixing elements from Belgrade and St. Petersburg. “I wanted to capture this specific atmosphere of Eastern and Northern Europe,” Antonov said. Most recently, Antonov appeared in Valve’s 20th anniversary documentary for Half-Life 2, where he discussed the inspiration behind his work on the project and its visual design.

As Crownfall has officially ended, the influx of extra new skins into the game and players’ inventory has slowed down significantly. However, the Dota 2 workshop is as full as ever, and players think some of these fantastic sets should make their way into the game as soon as possible. A Feb. 16 Reddit thread outlined several sets sitting in the Dota 2 workshop, ready to be picked up by Valve and officially introduced into the game’s cosmetic ecosystem. The sets in question are the Yule Spirit Drow Ranger, Stormweaver’s Talons Commander Zeus, The Incurable Pestilence Undying, Flight of the Golden Eagle Windranger, Sporeborn Stalker Weaver, and Draconic Soul Lina. All of them look beyond fantastic, especially the one for Undying, which I can safely say is one of the best-looking sets I’ve ever seen in the history of Dota 2 (though the hero does have existing sets that are quite mint).

Climbing the Tower of Hell can be quite a challenge, even for experienced obby players, making this a very unique and fun game. Thankfully, there are skills, Mutators, that can make the game easier for you, but also for your friends playing with you. To see which ones are good, which ones are global, and which ones are cosmetic, follow along to our Tower of Hell Mutators guide and tier list below. Tower of Hell Mutators Tier List As we can see here, not all Mutators in Tower of Hell were created equal. There are also some that are cosmetic, not improving the actual gameplay. Mutators like Double Jump and Checkpoints are mandatory if you want to climb to the highest floors of the tower, but Mutators like Invisibility and Bunny Hop are there simply as a little bit of fun, not making the game easier. Tower of Hell Mutators List Below is a complete and detailed list of all Mutators in Tower of Hell, listed by usefullness: MutatorAbilityEveryone on the server can jump twice.No more killparts.A checkpoint appears every second stage.Invert colors, making it easier to see obstacles.Add another section to the tower.Makes everything foggy.Reduces global gravity by 25%.Doubles the coins gained on the server.Increases your speed by 25%.Make everyone on the server jump.Add another 2 minutes to the global timer.Make everyone turn into a ghust, making them invisible. Unfortunately, some of these are cosmetic and don't do anything to help you climb. Mutators like Invincibility are great, but Double Jump and Checkpoints will cost you Robux instead, so make sure to choose wisely. Out of the lower-cost ones, we recommend Extra Time and Low Gravity since they both provide good climbing utility. How Do I Get Mutators in Tower of Hell To unlock Mutators in Tower of Hell first you have to find the Pixy's Shop on the ground floor of the tower. Some Mutators are unlocked with Robux, but some can be unlocked with in-game currency. To get currency, climb the tower, do challenges and help other players. Once you have enough, head on over to the shop, select the Mutator you want and press on it to purchase it. Now you have learned everything from our Tower of Hell Mutators guide and tier list, and your climb can begin! If you are interested in more obby games, make sure to check out our Skateboard Obby codes for some cool freebies. The post Tower of Hell Mutators Guide & Tier List appeared first on Destructoid.

After making comments regarding the Nazi book burnings, where he said Nazis didn’t specifically target gender-oriented books but rather those written by Jews in Hebrew, Asmongold was met with harsh criticism from viewers and streamers, who he claims were “trying to paint him as a Nazi,” by misrepresenting his arguments. The backlash primarily came from social media platforms such as X and Twitch, where political streamer Gremloe first responded to Asmongold‘s initial claims. He stated that Germans burned down sexology institutes and that they were very much against gender politics, alongside their anti-Semitic beliefs. He also commented on Asmongold’s chat, which allegedly spammed “W Nazis,” and other claims, but failed to mention that the streamer’s moderation team banned each and every person who wrote such messages in the chat.

I first played the Metal Gear Solid trilogy huddled around a PS Vita. I've experienced the original versions of each game since, but nothing beats the first time you step into those now-iconic combat boots. That's why the upcoming Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater has a lot to live up to. Because while Konami is sticking to the script, Kojima's original tale of Big Boss is one many of us have quite the attachment to. If you want the price of MGS Delta to go down easier, though, you can already nab it at a quarter off the asking price. Read the rest of the story...
