The Sims 2 has been re-released alongside The Sims to celebrate the series' 20th birthday. However, it seems like the legacy collection for The Sims 2 doesn't include all the content that was available for the original game, although it does include all the major expansions the game received during its prime. In the middle of The Sims 2's re-release's crashes, it's possible to spot that one Stuff Pack didn't make it into this version. View the full article

Sometimes in Dungeons and Dragons, the fundamental gaminess of it all - stats, mechanics, and objectives - blind us to fantasy's in-built capacity for entertaining nonsense. Sure, having a plus one version of your weapon, or an amulet that grants crucial damage resistances, could be essential to surviving a perilous quest - but will it make you smile? Will it, even for a moment, lighten the crushing weight of our existence on this pale blue dot? Maybe - I'm not the boss of you - but I hope these stupid joke items have a better chance of raising chuckles around your table. Read the rest of the story...

Open-world racing games have been transporting us to various corners of the world for many years. Whether its the gorgeous islands of Hawaii, the diverse lands of Mexico, or the neon-lit streets of Japan, they've all been used as sprawling makeshift race tracks. However, racing games rarely stray too far from the present day - largely so that iconic cars of the past and glistening new models that are hot in moment can be faithfully recreated. Punk Runner wants to change that, as it takes the formula of series like Need For Speed, blasts you into the future, and puts you behind the wheel of levitating cars in a cyberpunk city.

If you’re like me and have been busy exploring Hello Kitty Island Adventure, odds are, you’ve come across an Echo Conch. But finding all of them and who they belong to is a tricky task. There are 10 Echo Conches in total, so, you’ll have 10 subsequent quests to complete. Once you’ve collected an Echo Conch, you can view the clue for who it belongs to in your inventory. To complete each Echo quest, you simply give the Conch to the correct character. The clue will appear like a gift preference, however, with some characters’ favorites overlapping so it can be challenging. View the full article
To the delight of all looking to fast travel early on, Minecraft allows players to boost their minecart speed from the known value of eight blocks per second to a striking and honestly game-breaking 1,000. But contrary to what you might think, doing that won't demand the use of outlandish rail compositions. Instead, it's possible by completing a series of requirements before utilizing a very specific command. Here's how to change the speed of your minecarts in Minecraft, no matter if you are playing alone or on a server with friends. How to change your minecart speed in Minecraft You can change the speed of your minecarts in Minecraft by heading to Edit Game Rules while creating your world and toggling on Allow Commands. Make sure to also head to Experiments and enable Minecart Improvements. After doing the above and creating your world, you will be able to change the maximum speed of your minecarts to any value up to 1,000 blocks per second by doing the following: Open the in-game chat Type /minecartMaxSpeed plus your desired speed or [ ] (ex: /minecartMaxSpeed 1000) If playing in a multiplayer server you did not create, you will only be able to activate the commands after attaining a high enough permission level (in this case Operator). To do that, the server's administrators must click on the icon next to your profile (which showcases your rank) and then enable the use of Operator Commands. At the time of writing, the code can only be used when playing the Java version of the game, which means that those playing on Bedrock will have to either wait a little longer or try to get the most out of their carts in the usual way. How to make minecarts faster on Minecraft Bedrock Image via Mojang Studios Although their speed will still pale in comparison to that of the Ice Boats, you can boost the speed of your minecarts while playing Minecraft Bedrock by using both the environment and the right types of rails. More specifically, I recommend adding Powered Rails at key spots throughout your tracks, all while relying on drops for a natural boost in momentum. Ideally, you want to have a few Powered Rails within every 25 to 30 blocks or after each descent. You can make sets of six Powered Rails in Minecraft by gathering 6x Gold Ingots, 1x Stick, and 1x Redstone Dust before placing them in a 3-2-3 formation on your crafting grid. The Stick must then be placed above the stone, in the middle of the grid. The post How to change minecart speed in Minecraft appeared first on Destructoid. View the full article

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma is the next installment in the Rune Factory series from Natsume, but it's hard to tell that from just looking at it. The series started as a Harvest Moon game with elements of a fantasy RPG, even carrying the title "A Fantasy Harvest Moon" for the first two games. Over the next few games, the franchise evolved into a fully fledged standalone series of games that merged the farm management aspect of the farming simulator genre with the monster hunting, crafting, and world-building of an RPG.

Watch out for that falling breezeblock! It's about to-- ah, too late, you've been donked. A clip of loud wreckage, gunfire, and bazooka'd buildings has fallen dustily into our lap via a promotional video for Battlefield 6 (or whatever the developers plan to call the next of these large-scale first-person shooters). Mostly, it's a lot of producers talking a big game about "levelling up" the "core experience", which seems to remain blasting a building you don't like with a rocket-propelled grenade. We can tell from the final 10 seconds of the video, which show some of the game's actual running and/or gunning. Read more View the full article
