Mario[/i] over and over... and over... and over."> Enlarge / Get ready to repeat this ~25-second slice of Mario over and over... and over... and over. [/url] If you've ever seen a record-breaking video game speedrun or watched a Games Done Quick marathon, you may have entertained fantasies that you, too, could put up some decent times on your favorite old games. Sure, it'd probably take a bit of practice, but what these speedrunners are doing doesn't look that difficult, does it? How hard can it be to press a few buttons with good timing for a few minutes? After spending a few weeks with Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition, I no longer think that way. The game's *****-size chunks of classic Nintendo games highlight the level of precision needed for even a few minutes of speedrunning perfection, not to mention the tedium of practicing the same in-game motions dozens of times to build up the needed muscle memory. In the process, I gained a newfound respect for the skill displayed by the best speedrunners and found a fresh way to experience some classic NES games that I felt I knew backward and forward. Gotta go fast While Nintendo World Championships draws its name from a series of competitions dating back to 1990, it draws its inspiration much more directly from the more recent rise of the online speedrunning community. Thus, the game's main single-player mode is named "Speedrun," tasking players with putting up the fastest times in 150 mini-challenges spread across 13 different, Nintendo-developed NES titles.

There are several Deviations you can track down while exploring Once Human, which are unique creatures that offer you various bonuses and upgrades.

After you reach the location where you can find the Deviation, you’ll need to find out how to unlock it. It’ll be different from the previous quests you completed in Once Human, and we’re here to share how you can do it. View the full article

Controversial political commentator and streamer Steven “Destiny” Bonnell was recently banned by Kick, his primary streaming platform. The company cited “hate speech” as the reason. Another popular streamer, Asmongold, has now condemned Kick’s decision, labeling it “asymmetrical” and hypocritical. “I disagree with this, I don’t think he should be banned,” Asmongold said during a July 17 stream. He added how Kick allows “people that are committing felonies” to stream with no issue, making its approach to Destiny hypocritical. The streamer agreed that Destiny’s actions warranted some response, believing it would have been more appropriate to take away sponsorship deals and partnerships rather than outright removing him from the platform.

Late last year saw the launch of a remastered version of the 2001 Stronghold in the form of Stronghold Definitive Edition. Though the work that creator FireFly Studios put into making the classic strategy game look and feel much more modern makes it a solid choice for players, the 2013 Stronghold HD is a slightly less overhauled - and more immediately nostalgic - version of the original that's well worth a look as well. Even better, anyone who's looking to pick up a genre standout that rivalled contemporaries like Starcraft, Warcraft 3, and Homeworld can do so for very cheap, with Stronghold HD currently discounted to less than $2 on Steam.

Playing World of Warcraft as a tank is a tough proposition. You're the lynchpin of the entire group and if you should place an ****** in the wrong position, grab aggro from the wrong thing, or simply **** - your team is looking at a wipe. That said, it has become a little easier in recent years with tanks being able to shrug off ever-increasing amounts of damage. Blizzard just announced that this is all about to change, with tanks becoming less tanky and more reliant on support. Read the rest of the story...

If games are especially good at one thing, it's testing players' ability to figure out survival methods in harsh environments. Strategy projects like Frostpunk, Homeworld, Against the Storm, and Manor Lords all take place in settings, whether stretches of unforgiving wilderness or the lifeless outer reaches of space, that demand careful planning. Their premise is a natural fit for the genre, lending an inherent drama to the logistical challenges of founding and taking care of groups of people. It also seems to be a popular one, given that new space strategy game The Crust, which takes place on the surface of the moon, is already attracting a healthy player base and positive reviews on Steam.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the Steam Deck is my favorite gaming device of all time. Look, I have nothing but love for my yellowing SNES or the Xbox 360 in storage in my basement. My PS5 is a powerful machine that delivers crisp 4K visuals, and my Switch provides the delights only Nintendo can whip up in its phenomenal software. But the Steam Deck? With its perfect mix of power and portability, it fits my dad lifestyle better than any other platform. It’s a great handheld gaming PC on its own, but a few additions go a long way toward making it even better. And thanks to Prime Day, you can save some cash while picking up some of the best Steam Deck accessories. 1TB MicroSD Card for $67.88 (48% Off) Anyone who’s agonized over which Steam Deck version to get knows that Valve charges an arm and a leg for extra onboard storage space. Regardless of which model you choose, adding more storage is usually a no-brainer. This 1TB microSD card adds a ton of space at a near all-time low price. Find more storage options with these Prime Day deals on microSD cards 65W Baseus Power Bank for $36.10 (61% Off) If there's one universal drawback to the Steam Deck, it's the battery life when playing resource-hungry games. While the OLED model offers more playtime, you can't go wrong by adding a power bank to your to-go bag. Enter promo code N4W8A2FE and this one drops to less than half price for Prime Day. Check out more power banks on ***** for Prime Day Jsaux Steam Deck Dock for $31.99 (20% Off) I have this dock, and it works great for charging my Steam Deck and for playing games on the TV when the mood strikes. A docked Steam Deck isn’t as user-friendly as a Switch, but it definitely has its uses. Jsaux Steam Deck Screen Protector for $7.99 (20% Off) We’ve all had it happen to a device before: you look at it one day and see a scratch in the screen. It’s a nightmare, because you’ll always see that scratch every time you use your Steam Deck from then on. It's kind of a pain, but the best way to prevent scratches is to apply a screen protector. This one is from Jsaux, a reliable company, and it comes with two protectors, in case one gets scratched. CRKD Gear Bag for $39.99 (20% Off) For many people, the case that comes with the Steam Deck will suit you just fine. But if you find it useful to bring along other stuff when you go out, you might want a ******* carrying case to store everything in. This gear bag from CRKD is great. It has a velcro strap to secure your device, plus plenty of space for a mouse, external battery, dock, or whatever else you want to bring. Steam Deck Tool Kit for $23.78 (15% Off) I don’t recommend cracking open your Steam Deck unless you have experience rooting through your electronic devices already. But if you’re going to do so, to upgrade your SSD, replace your thumb sticks, or whatever, this screwdriver set will let you in. Just make sure you remove your microSD card first, or you’ll snap that thing in half. And for the record, you’ll need Phillips #1 (PH1) and Phillips #0 (PH0) screwdrivers to ****** open your Deck to make any changes. Steam Deck SSDs for $75.99 (34% Off) Once you have your Steam Deck open, you can swap in a new SSD. This is a more affordable way to boost your storage than paying Valve for the increase. But again, I’d advise against tinkering with your Deck unless you have some experience cracking things open. You might damage the device, and then you can’t play anything, which would be a travesty.

There are many different items that need to be powered up in Once Human, like stations at your base, machines to run, and even turrets to defend yourself. It is important to have different energy at your disposal, like Storage Batteries, to keep everything running at tiptop condition. Storage Batteries are very important portable batteries that are used to power up certain tools in the game, such as chainsaws that help you chop down trees at a much more improved rate than a simple axe. You will, however, need to use a fair amount of Ciphers to progress down the Memetic tree to unlock this item, along with a good amount of resources to craft it. View the full article

GTA 6 is going to dominate 2025. Nobody wants to go up against Rockstar's ****** epic, and it's easy to see why.

Although AMD's new Ryzen 9000 CPUs aren't scheduled to be released until the end of July, one of them has already just appeared for ***** on Amazon, possibly giving us an indication of pricing. The new six-core AMD Ryzen 5 9600X is listed for ***** on the ********* version of the site for a price of $475.51 CA, which works out at around $347 if you do a straight currency conversion. This new CPU's predecessor, the Ryzen 5 7600X, currently has a spot on our guide to the best gaming CPU, but only because it's had a drop in price. When it first launched, it cost $299, which is a lot of money for a six-core processor. This AMD chip now goes for just $184.99, meaning the 9600X at the Amazon Canada price represents an 87.6% price increase, and we doubt it's going to be anywhere near 87.6% faster.
