As Hamlet requested of Horatio, it is time to once again absent myself from felicity awhile, and in this harsh world draw my breath in pain to tell you that the Half-Life 3 speculators are at it again. Over the weekend, the discovery of a mystery Valve project called "White Sands" on a voice actor's portfolio has set tongues and fingers wagging about potential Half-Life news in the offing.

As reported by Gematsu yesterday, ***** have filed a trademark in Japan for the term “Yakuza Wars”. This happened on July 26th, and while Gematsu speculate this might be related to the next game in the Yakuza: Like A Dragon series, I have other plans. For the imaginary game. That I have nothing to do with. Read more View the full article
Unsurprisingly, Palworld is making a whole bunch of money, but that doesn't mean PocketPair is suddenly going to switch to triple-a games. Palworld isn't quite as widely spoken about as it was at the start of the year, but that doesn't mean it isn't doing well still. In fact, it sounds like it's printing money, at least according to PocketPair CEO Takuro Mizobe who recently spoke about the developer's plans in an interview with GameSpark (as translated by Automaton). It's pretty normal for studios to want to expand and hire more hands when they have a hit on their hands, but Mizobe said that PocketPair wants to see how far it can go while keeping development "on an indie scale." He went on to say, "Looking at global trends for triple-a games, it’s become difficult to develop a game with a large team and ensure it becomes a hit." While Palworld was likely the game that put PocketPair on your radar, it has been making games for a while now. In fact, the success of its previous games is what let it make Palworld in the first place. Its much smaller title Overdungeon being successful meant it could make Craftopia, the success of which meant it could go on to work on Palworld. But Mizobe says that PocketPair isn't going to keep up this "snowball effect" for future games. Read more View the full article
Six years on from Darksiders 3 (and five from great but overlooked spin-off Darksiders Genesis), I'll admit I'd started to think THQ Nordic had given up on the series. Not so, apparently—a new teaser tells us we should be "prepared to ride again"... Read more.View the full article
The EcoFlow Power Hat may look like an average hat at first glance, at least from a distance, but get a little closer and you'll spot some strange-looking patterns on the brim. Those are actually solar cells powerful enough to charge your devices at 12W via USB-A and USB-C ports... Read Entire Article View the full article
***** has trademarked the name "Yakuza Wars" in Japan, and naturally it's triggered a bunch of speculation from fans of that well-known series the publisher's long been behind which features just a few ********* gangsters in nice suits. I'm talking about Ryu Ga Gotoku's Like A Dragon franchise, formerly known, lest we forget, as the Yakuza series. As spotted by Gematsu, the trademark in question was filed on July 26, with the listing offering no inkling as to what it could mean, aside from it having been done by ***** and being related to video games. Since ***** hasn't currently announced a game with Yakuza Wars as its title or subtitle, and Ryu Ga Gotoku having recently teased that fans will be "be surprised" by its next game, the speculation mill among people who probably own Majima construction hats has gone into overdrive.

During the weekend from Aug. 3 to Aug. 4, Helldivers 2 hit its highest 24-hour player count peak in the past few weeks as players ****** against the addition of a new Stratagem. The current Major Order tasks Helldivers with eliminating 1.5 billion enemies to conduct an “Efficiency Review of currently available Mine Strategems.” If players don’t reach the target number, Super Earth begins the production of Anti-Tank Mines. This order caused Helldivers 2 to peak at 38,663 players on Aug. 4, according to SteamDB, as players do whatever it takes to avoid these mines being added. View the full article

Half-Life 3, the never-made game that can't be forgotten, is back on everyone's radar after a ***** suggested that Valve is officially developing the project. Having become one of the longest-running memes on the internet, the Half-Life fandom is unable to shake rumors that Gordon Freeman and his crowbar are on the verge of a major comeback given that whisperings of a third installment have swirled since the release of Half-Life 2: Episode 2 in 2007. There's still little in the way of confirmation, but the most recent ***** is the closest thing to an official update in some years. View the full article
There's a new Zelda glitch in town, and this one is a ridiculously complicated method to make Link's Master Sword in Tears of the Kingdom completely unbreakable. Where do I even begin with this? As players always do with games as big as Tears of the Kingdom, it was discovered that you could load the version of the Master Sword Link has in the game's prologue (before it's broken) into your main save file to use in the rest of the game. When you would do so, it would be called MsgNotFound in your inventory, and was completely unbreakable, as it can't break in the prologue. Unsurprisingly, in version 1.2.1 of the game, the most recent update, Nintendo patched this glitch out, making it impossible to obtain MsgNotFound. Of course, that hasn't stopped the Tears of the Kingdom community from figuring out how to do it again - even if it is mind numbingly confusing to do now. Tears of the Kingdom YouTuber El Duende 05 shared a video last week revealing to the community that it is possible to retrieve the MsgNotFound version of the Master Sword. The only problem is that the video, which contains every step you need to take in order to get it, is an hour long. Bear in mind, this is in an edited format, so in order to pull this off, you'll likely need to spend a whole lot more time than that just to get an unbreakable Master Sword. The steps are so lengthy and confusing, I'm not even going to attempt to explain it all. You'll have to drop weapons and shields a lot, fuse certain things together, perform tricky warps, save your game at weird times. It's a lot. Read more View the full article

Larian Studios, the developer behind Baldur's Gate 3, is already looking ahead to its future projects. In April, the studio revealed that it is working on two new titles. However, the team faces the challenge of ensuring these upcoming games provide a new and distinct experience for players familiar with the immersive world of Baldur's Gate 3. View the full article
One of the neat things about Norland's fantasy medievalism is that specialist knowledge is tied to characters. So if there's only one person in your village who knows how to brew tastier *****, and they **** after being freakishly savaged by a passing wolf (it happens), suddenly your village will have no artisanal lager master. The results may be devastating. Luckily, you can share knowledge in a number of ways - by copying books, or having "wise conversations". The exception to this is child characters, whose pea-sized brains can't learn specialist knowledge, only soaking up basic attributes like "manners" from the teachers you assign to them. Well, until now. The developers for the Rimworld-meets-Crusader Kings catastrophe simulator have made kids a little smarter. They'll now learn more important things from their ****** teachers.

Great news T.V lovers! We've got a brand-new snippet of The Last of Us season 2 via a quick-cut HBO MAX trailer. This trailer, a combination showcase of all the upcoming shows and seasons coming to the video-on-demand service, caps off its presentation with a nice chunk of Joel and Ellie's future adventures. Roughly 20 seconds in length, we get Joel seemingly sat down across from a therapist, multiple shots of Ellie in duress (as you'd expect), a few new characters, as well as Tommy in a bit of a pickle. Not too much in terms of spoilers, but obviously those who've played the game may spot a few nods here and there. What's interesting is that we don't get too much Abby in this teaser. A major character in the second game, and confirmed to be featured due to [Hidden Content] Dever's confirmed casting in the role, perhaps her presence is being left as a last minute stinger to those unfamiliar with the source material... Nonetheless, those who've played the first game will have spotted her caught under the fence all-to-briefly. Read more View the full article
Flippin’ heck, what a journey it’s been for Baldur's Gate 3, eh? It seems just yesterday I was getting very jealous at Matthew Castle (RPS in peace) for getting to preview the sequel to my beloved Shadows Of Amn. Fast forward several turns, Larian’s RPG banger is officially one year old since release, and there’s now a much higher chance that strangers at pubs will understand why my ******* romance with Jaheira as a youth was such a deeply heartbreaking experience. Baldur’s Gate 3 itself looks to be done and dusted following the upcoming patch, but Larian now look to be gearing up for their next charm offensive with a new “community focused” YouTube channel, as well as further teasing their two games currently in development.

Flowers are all over Disney Dreamlight Valley, and sometimes the Valley residents want them, whether it’s their favorite gift of the day, part of a quest, or for a crafting recipe. Fortunately, the Red and White Hydrangea isn’t hard to find—if you know where to look. Red and White Hydrangea location in Disney Dreamlight Valley The Red and White Hydrangea in Disney Dreamlight Valley spawns on Dazzle Beach, and there’s no trick to finding it. The beach is split into two areas, and the flower can spawn on either, but the side closer to the Plaza is a little bit *******, which makes the flower easier to find there. View the full article
If you play Helldivers 2, and you're one of the many folks who've been delibrately trying to help the community avoid being given some new anti-tank mines for meme reasons, I've got bad news. It looks like Arrowhead's finally gotten wise to your games and put together a Major Order that'll ensure you get 'em. For those out of the loop, Helldivers 2's anti-tank mines have become a running joke that's basically done a marathon at this point. The poor explosive devices were first offered by Arrowhead back in April as the alternative choice to a rocket launcher, lost that battle, and have since lost a number of other times in their goal to be added to the game - including to some Super Earth kids that needed saving. Well, it now looks like Arrowhead's had enough of the community's mistreatment of the mines, and has fashioned a Major Order designed to ensure they finally get deployed into the inventories of players ahead of the Escalation of Freedom update's arrival on August 6.

That's right Half-Life fans, you've got a new reason to believe that the long-awaited third entry is definitely, for sure this time, absolutely happening. Look, I'm sure I don't need to tell you about the history of Half-Life 3, or it's lack thereof I guess. You've seen the memes, you've seen all the times people have sworn it's definitely coming this time only to be let down. But this time, maybe it's different! As spotted over on the GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit, a voice actor that has appeared in titles like Starfield, Valorant, Fallout 76 and more listed something in their resume called "Project White Sands" crediting Valve as the developer - though any mention of the game has since been scrubbed from their site. So, of course, as soon as this was spotted, fans quickly jumped to the conclusion that this must be the time that Half-Life 3 is getting announced. Project White Sands could mean anything to the unassuming eye, but Half-Life fans have already connected some dots. White Sands is the name of a real-life US army military testing area, based in New Mexico (and also where the first atomic ***** was tested). And where is the famed ****** Mesa Research Facility located in-game? New Mexico! You can see why fans have quickly jumped to believing that this is the fabled Half-Life 3, though honestly, I doubt that it will specifically be Half-Life 3. Read more View the full article

I write this week's list of new PC games in a spirit of *******, for a strange man is at my window with a ladder. Has Santa Claus come early? Have Sony's goons found me at last, after swearing vengeance for that 8/10 I handed **** Of War 3 as a cub reporter? Does the motion detector on the light over the apartment block door need fixing? There is no time to enquire and certainly no time to flee, for there are video games we must discuss. Read more View the full article

Among the best grand strategy games that Paradox Interactive has graced us with - the likes of Crusader Kings 3, Stellaris, and Hearts of Iron 4 to name but a few - Europa Universalis 4 ******** one of its finest works.
