  1. If all you've ever wanted to do is head into a prehistoric landscape to find, capture, and tame dinosaurs, then Ark Survival Ascended is the game for you. Although there have been some performance issues since launch, the survival game remaster is currently at its lowest ever price on Steam, making it the perfect time to pick it up and get in the mood for Ark 2 - if it ever arrives, that is.

  2. Players have been getting their hands on the second open beta test for Monster Hunter Wildsand many are getting a pretty solid idea about what the game is going to be like. From changing weather systems to vast landscapes and monsters with enough detail to make Jurassic Park jealous, it's clear that MH Wilds is a technical marvel. To say that the open beta is making the full release look promising is probably an understatement, but there are a few things that are still a big worry, even if they have been addressed.

  4. Early on in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 you're given a side quest called Mice from Innkeeper Prochek in the small town of Tachov. He wants you to pain the bull of Landowner Olbram from the neighboring town of Zhelejov. But should you pain the bull or rat out Prochek for the Mice quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2? Should you paint the bull for the Mice quest or rat out Prochek and do the Frogs quest? While both quests will progress this quest chain to the Battle of the Frogs and Mice side quest, I recommend ratting out Prochek over painting the bull. Doing so will fail the Mice quest, but give you access to a new quest called Frogs, which actually has better quest rewards. Here are all the completion possibilities and rewards for both the Mice and Frogs quests: Screenshot by Destructoid What happens if you paint the bull and complete the Mice quest? If you choose to side with Innkeeper Prochek of Tachov, you'll need to follow through with painting the bull. After getting the quest from him, speak to Radovan the Blacksmith in Tachov who will tell you about a Lullaby Potion that can put animals to sleep. Then, head to Tailor Bartoshek in Troskowitz who will sell you some Red Dye for 60 Groschen. If you have high speech, you can actually get the dye for free. Next, you'll need to craft the Lullaby Potion at an Alchemy Bench by following this recipe: First, add some Oil to the cauldron. Next, add one Poppy (found east of Troskowitz in the garden) to the Cauldron, and flip the hourglass for one cycle. Then, add one Thistle (found south of the Apothecary in Troskowitz) to the Cauldron, and flip the hourglass for another cycle. Grind up one Herb Paris (bought from the Apothecary in Troskowitz) and add it to the Cauldron. Pour the Cauldron into the vial to receive a Lullaby Potion. The stronger the quality Lullaby Potion you make, the less you will need to be successful. You can expect to use three doses in total. Finally, head to Zhelejov and into the barn where the bull resides. Approach the Stone Trough in the barn and pour the Lullaby Potion in, but make sure you're not spotted by anyone as this is of course ********. Be careful not to put too much in, as it can kill the bull and fail the quest completely. After a few hours, the bull will fall asleep, and you can approach it and interact with it to pain it. No matter what you paint on it, the quest will be complete. Head back to Prochek and report on your success and you will receive 85 Groschen and some Reputation. Screenshot by Destructoid What happens if you rat our Prochek instead? As you can see, the reward for completing the Mice quest isn't that great. If you choose to rat out Prochek and tell Old Olbram about his plan, you will immediately fail the Mice quest but unlock the Frogs side quest. For this quest, Olbram wants you to steal the Maypole from Tachov. You have two options for completing the Frogs side quest: luring Henik away from the Maypole, or knocking out Henik. For the first option, visit Henik at the maypole and speak with him. He will talk about his crush on Manka, by but being able to actually meet with her due to guarding the Maypole. Choose the option "I'll take over for you, so you two can go out." Go to sleep and the next morning head to the tavern in Tachov and you will find Manka. Tell her that you are going to watch the Maypole so her and Henik can go on a date, then go and sleep again until it is night time. Visit Henik at the Maypole and tell him Manka agreed to the date. He will then start to leave. You need to wait until Henik is completely gone from the area, and then you can climb and collect the Tachov Maypole. The other option is to visit Innkeeper Prochek in Tacho and ask about the Maypole using various speech skills. Prochek will talk about his love for Manka as well, and ask you to beat up Henik so he lets her be. If you agree, then wait until it's dark and visit the Maypole and speak with Henik. Ask Henik about his brothers, why they left, and when Henik plans to run off. He will be upset, and start a fight with you. Simply win to knock him out, then take the Maypole. Return to Zhelejov and speak with Olbram to turn in the Maypole for a reward of 45 Groschen. This isn't as much for going the other route, however, it opens up an additional objective in which you can create a nuisance at Tachov. Agree to do it then head to the Alchemist and purchase a Digestive Potion. Finally, head to the tavern in the morning around 8AM and add a Digestive Potion to the food being prepared inside. Wait until 2PM and head to the market location on the map at the sheep farm, and you should notice Alshik is not there. Walk up to and push six of the sheep out of the pasture and into the western forest beside the sheep farm. This will complete the objective, but you also have an optional objective to soil some of the laundry that you can find nearby. To do so, simply push a sheep towards that area, and it will do the deed. Doing this optional quest, however, will lose you reputation with Tachov. Return to Olbram at Zhelejov and you can completely finish the Frogs side quest which will earn you 175 Groschen. Regardless of which you chose, you will now have access to the Frogs and Mice side quest.

  5. If you hunger to hoard cheaply bought games, I’ve found something for every platform, genre, and thumb type. For Switch fans, I’ve found the perfect time to dive into a ******-infested, turn-based masterpiece. PC folk can curate a dream lineup of Capcom modern classics. And the PS-faithful can spend minimal Gil on a Final Fantasy whose price has been slashed by some bloody big Zweihänder. Today in Can’t Believe It Took ‘Em This Long To Rerelease That news, I’m celebrating the 25th bday of The Sims. Not going to lie to you, friend—when this launched, I thought, “Well, this is barely a game right here.” It seemed more like a virtual fish tank that was only fun if I kept concocting new (and worryingly sociopathic) ways to torment the virtual peoples in my employ. (But it seems I wasn’t the only one into making pools with disappearing ladders.) Though this game and genre didn’t flick my switch, personally, the lights clicked on and stayed burning bright for the masses—after 15 years this original sold a whopping 11.24M copies. It deserves a big place in the PC gaming pantheon. This Day in Gaming Aussie birthdays for notable games. - The Sims (PC) 2000.

  10. Much as I enjoy fighting through the underworld in Hades or battling demons in Diablo's Sanctuary, I'm more of a sci-fi fan at heart. The spacefaring survival of Reality Break appeals to me that much more, flying through interplanetary space stations and battling with lasers and forcefields.

  13. In Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, after arriving at the Nomad's Camp and speaking to Voivode, you'll learn that his daughter, Marika, has gone missing. He'll tell you that she was last seen with Bozhena. Outside of this, it's a complete mystery. Here's how to complete Miri Fajta and find Marika. Table of contentsKCD2 Miri Fajta quest walkthroughWhere to find Marika in KCD2How to get Voivode's Amulet in KCD2Where to find Voivode's Letter of Safe Conduct in KCD2All Miri Fajta quest endings in KCD2 KCD2 Miri Fajta quest walkthrough You'll initially start Miri Fajta by talking to the Nomad Camp's Voivode, who tells you his daughter, Marika, has suddenly vanished. It's been two days since anyone's seen her, but all they found was her tracks past Bozhena's hut toward Apollonia. You have two choices: go to Bozhena for more information or search Marika's tent for more clues. She has a small tent next to Aranka's, now with a bunch of cloth strewn around the floor. You'll find her scarf next to a chest, which serves as a helpful clue later in the quest. Screenshot by Destructoid Screenshot by Destructoid With Marika's scarf in hand, head to Bozhena's cabin to learn more about Marika's whereabouts. You'll learn that she visited the herbwoman with her lover before traveling to Apollonia. However, beyond a quest circle, the only hint you have is that you're looking for a valley with two large boulders and a small one in the middle. Where to find Marika in KCD2 Marika is located within a cave in Apollonia. As you approach the quest marker from the west side, you'll notice blood splatters on the ground leading down a path, with bloody clothing scattered about as you get closer. Once you turn a corner, you'll spot Bozhena's hint — in this case, a boulder between two large cliffs — that'll bring you right to Marika and her lover. Screenshot by Destructoid If you've completed Mutt's quest and reunited with him, you can use him to track Marika's scent using her scarf. He'll lead you to the exact ravine where she and her lover are staying, making the search much easier. Otherwise, if you've yet to find him, you can head to the map location above to encounter her. Screenshot by Destructoid As you enter the cave, you'll find Marika eating while an injured Bohush is on the ground. Talk to Marika to learn more about her predicament: It turns out that Marika voluntarily ran away, as her family, including Voivide, isn't completely innocent in this situation. She'll ask you to return to the Nomad's Camp to get assistance from her mother. If your Survival skills are high, you can help Bohush yourself. Failing the interaction loses your reputation with Marika, but there aren't any major consequences beyond this. You can also give Marika her scarf for a reputation boost. Now that you've found Marika, it's time to return to the Nomad's Camp and help Bohush recover. You can fast-travel to locations like Zhelejov or Semine to make the trip easier, but it'll be a lengthy walk regardless. If you want, you can jump straight into asking Voivode about the amulet or talk to Aranka first to get some Marigold and bandages. She'll recommend obtaining some Comfrey if his situation is dire, which you can find in Troskowitz. Since Troskowitz is on the way to Apollonia, we'll keep this location in mind for later. How to get Voivode's Amulet in KCD2 Once you're ready to talk to Voivode, he'll reveal his side of the story, matching what Marika told you in the cave. Before he'll give you the amulet, he requests your help freeing his son Tibor from captivity in Semine. Since he and his family aren't welcome there anymore, you're the only one he now trusts to handle the situation. As a bonus, if you run out of Marigold at any point, you'll find more on your way here. Rescuing Tibor Upon arriving in Semine, you'll quickly realize Bohush and Marika's situation is the talk of the town. Most characters will know about Tibor, telling you the Saddler's workers captured him. You'll find a new marker in the southwestern part of town. Screenshot by Destructoid However, no one wants to get involved in this situation, forcing you to save Tibor yourself. You can do this in two ways: Talk to the workers at the Saddler or sneak into the barn and free Tibor yourself. If you try to talk to the Saddler, he won't give you any information and will tell you not to delve deeper. Instead, you'll want to talk to either Guildsman Janek or the Hired Hand near the barn, who'll reveal they've tied Tibor up and locked him in the barn. As you continue to pry, the NPC will question why they'd let him go, leading to the following Speech checks: Let him go, now! (Intimidation) Do you want more blood on your hands? (Persuasion) What if I paid you? I was just asking. The choices may differ slightly depending on who you talk to, but either way, you'll have some persuasion options that can convince them to tell you where the key to the barn is. However, failing these will result in a fight between you and the Saddler workers, so be prepared for that possibility. At this point of the story, I had Persuasion level eight and was able to pass the second option's check just fine. If you succeed the check, Guildsman Janek or the Hired Hand will tell you there's a key on a crate that'll unlock the barn door where Tibor is held captive. Entering this area is trespassing, but as long as you're somewhat sneaky and don't let anyone see you, you won't run into too many problems. Screenshot by Destructoid Alternatively, you can sneak into the barn to free Tibor yourself. There's always someone guarding it during the day, but if you sneak around the back and jump through a window, you can rescue him without too many issues. Either way, freeing Tibor will lead to the two of you escaping out a window into a nearby forest. Untie Gejza's body Before returning to the Nomad's Camp, you'll need to free Gejza's body and bury it to honor his demise. To do this, head west of Semine toward a nearby woodcutter's camp and talk to any of the nearby woodcutter's to be redirected to the foreman. After some back and forth, you'll have some persuasion options regarding Gejza's burial: I'll pay for him. Try and stop me. (Intimidation) He'll be haunting you! (Persuasion) I think I'll be on my way. Screenshot by Destructoid This one's slightly tougher to convince than the previous NPCs, and will also result in a fight if you lose. Regardless of whether you persuade them, pay, or fight your way through, you'll find Gejza's body directly west of the woodcutter's camp, were you can untie him and carry him to the burial site. They'll be grateful for your help, and the four of you will return to the Nomad's Camp. Where to find Voivode's Letter of Safe Conduct in KCD2 Screenshot by Destructoid Screenshot by Destructoid Voivode's Letter of Safe Conduct is directly north of Marika's cave, inside a tree's trunk. After returning to Marika and telling her about the situation, she'll tell you about a well with a hollowed out tree next to it. Searching this tree will give you the letter. Although we're approaching the end of the Miri Fajta quest, Voivode first reveals some more information: he can't give you the amulet without having the letter of safe conduct be originally got from the Emperor. Marika took this letter from him and asks you to retrieve it from her. It's time to return to Apollonia. Before going back, though, make sure you have Marigold and Comfrey for Marika and Bohush. You'll find both in Troskowitz in the Apothecary's herb garden. Screenshot by Destructoid Once you arrive in Apollonia, you'll find wolves around the cave's entrance. Although you can try to steer them away from the entrance and jump in, your best bet is to defend against them until they run away. After handling them, talk to Marika to learn about the letter's location. Following the quest markers, you'll arrive next to a stream with a well nearby. If you don't spot it right away, look for a small puddle of water with a bucket next to it and a "Well" marker. You'll find a tree next to it that you can interact with to receive the letter. Screenshot by Destructoid From here, you can experience multiple endings for the Miri Fajta quest. While we'll primarily focus on the most positive ending, I'll briefly mention the others as well. All Miri Fajta quest endings in KCD2 Once you have the Letter of Safe Conduct, head back to the Nomad's Camp and talk to the Voivode. From here, you have several options that'll influence your ending. Betraying Marika If you choose "Here's the letter, to hell with Marika," you'll complete the quest without bringing Marika back to the Nomad's Camp. The Voivode will give you 85 Groschen as a reward without you having to return to Marika. However, the Voivode will be upset about it later, and Aranka will, understandably, be upset about never seeing her daughter again. Help Marika Instead, if you want to help Marika and still receive a reward, talk to Aranka first. She'll tell you the Voivode enjoys engaging in bets and that you can use this to win the amulet. Once you talk to the Voivode about it, he's initially reluctant, but after some pushing, he agrees to it as long as Tibor is the one who represents him. Once the bet begins, you'll take part in up to three competitions: Horse riding Unarmed combat Dice If you manage to win the first two matches, you'll automatically win without playing Dice. Otherwise, you'll need to brush up on your Dice skills and have some good luck to get the amulet. Of these three competitions, horse riding is the most challenging, as Tibor's horse is pretty fast. Going with the horse the Voivode gives you won't work, as Tibor's will fly past with no hope of catching up. That is, unless you resort to cheating. You have two options for winning the race: Drug Tibor's horse Get a better horse Screenshot by Destructoid If you have one of the game's best horses already, you won't have to worry about Tibor's outpacing you unless you mess up on pathing. Otherwise, talk to Aranka to get a potion you can pour into the horse's trough to give it a stomachache, making it much easier to win the race. You can use a similar strategy for the second match with Tibor. While you can fight him fair and square, you can ask Aranka for a sleep potion to pour into Tibor's drink to make him sleepy. That way, he'll be sluggish, making it much easier to defeat him. Screenshot by Destructoid If you lost either of these matches, you'll have to take part in a Dice match with the Voivode himself. This is mostly luck-based, but you can ask Aranka for a special dice to make things easier. Aside from this, the rules and mechanics are the same as any typical Dice game. Once you win two of the three matches, the Voivode will personally visit Marika. After a sweet conversation between the two, you'll return to the camp, wrapping up Kingdom Come Deliverance 2's Miri Fajta quest.

  19. Anker quietly released a new high-capacity power bank earlier this year that sits alongside their Anker 737 and Prime series of power banks. This particular model boasts a massive 25,000mAh battery capacity, 165W of total charging output, and two built-in USB Type-C cables in case you forget to bring your own. It's also attractively priced at under $100, and there's even a deal today that drops the price by another $10 to $89.99. This is a great complement to your power-hungry gaming handheld PC like the Steam Deck, Asus Rog Ally, or Lenovo Legion Go. New Release: Anker 25,000mAh 165W Power Bank The new Anker power bank features a 25,000mAh battery capacity, which is the second largest capacity we've seen from Anker in a compact form factor. So how much juice will that offer to today's gaming handheld PCs? A 25,000mAh battery equates to a 95Whr capacity. An 80% power efficiency rating (which is standard for power banks) means you get about 76Whr of usable charge. That means this power bank will charge a Steam Deck or ROG Ally (40Whr) from empty to completely full 2 times, an Asus ROG Ally X (80Whr) 1 time, and a Nintendo Switch (16Whr) about 4.75 times. The Anker power bank has one USB Type-C port and one USB Type-A port. In addition, there are two built-in USB Type-C cables. One is a retractable cable that can extend up to 2.3 feet. The other is a fixed 1-foot cable that doubles up as a lanyard when not in use. Each USB Type-C port is capable of up to 100W of Power Delivery with a total 165W maximum output. That means all three USB outputs are capable of charging any gaming handheld PC at its fastest rate, including the Asus ROG Ally X, which supports up to 100W of fast charging. Another feature common to Anker's other premium power banks is the digital LCD readout. It displays a wealth of information like remaining battery capacity, current charging rate, input/output wattage, battery temperature, battery health, charge cycle count, and more. TSA-Approved TSA states that power banks must be under 100Whr in capacity for carry-on (check-in is not allowed under any circumstances). This Anker power bank is rated at 95Whr. You might get checked simply because this is a relatively hefty power bank, but you shouldn't have any problems getting it cleared. Why Should You Trust IGN's Deals Team?
