I've never seen anyone look as good in a Vault suit as the actors in the Fallout show. The licensed Vault-Tec jumpsuits you can get from costume stores are spandex disasters, but even the more expensive Vault suits aimed at cosplayers look a bit pajama-like. The show's jumpsuits, however, are form-fitting without being superhero-tight, yet don't seem to limit movement whatsoever—they look cool and comfy... Read more.View the full article

One of the most puzzling mechanics in League of Legends’ ranked system is the way the game treats new players who are trying ranked for the first time. League has a reputation for over-hyping new players and placing them well above their appropriate skill bracket after their initial placement games. But after a recent update, this should no longer be the case, and new players should find themselves placed “more correctly” on the ranked ladder, according to an update shared by League’s lead gameplay designer Matt “Riot Phroxzon” Leung-Harrison on social media earlier today.

Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge DolphiniOS, a fork of the popular Dolphin emulator for Nintendo Wii and GameCube games, has confirmed that it’s not coming to the Apple App Store even though emulators are now supported. In a post on Friday, the developer behind the emulator says it’s because Apple doesn’t allow DolphiniOS to use its underlying performance-boosting tech. As explained by developer OatmealDome, DolphiniOS — along with other Wii and GameCube emulators — uses something called Just-in-Time (JIT). This is a compiler that “translates” the GameCube and Wii’s PowerPC-based code into a language other devices can understand, making emulations run a lot smoother. Even with the recent App Store policy changes, DolphiniOS still cannot be submitted to the App Store... Continue reading… View the full article

Zoos can be amazing places but one of the issues with them is it's rare you'll be able to get up close to any of the creatures living there.

Team Folon’s Dean Carter, project lead on the highly anticipated mod Fallout London, has opened up about how Bethesda’s upcoming Fallout 4 update impacted the studio, saying the team felt “blindsided” by the move. Carter delved into how the Fallout developer’s next-gen update, which is set to release on April 25, has affected Folon’s development timeline during an interview with the BBC. He says his team had no communication from Bethesda when it came to the update’s release plans, resulting in the unforeseen delay of Fallout London. While the team pivots to account for a relatively substantial new update for Fallout 4, Folon is left wishing it had a heads-up. “So that has, for lack of a better term, sort of screwed us over, somewhat.” “This is the thing: they randomly dropped it, that they were going to bring it out on the 25th of April. So that has, for lack of a better term, sort of screwed us over, somewhat,” Carter said. Folon has been set to bring London to Fallout 4 for years. Although it’s unofficial, its popularity has positioned it as one of the most important game releases for the franchise since Fallout 76 launched in 2018. The mod was set to drop April 23, 2024, until Bethesda threw a wrench into the timeline by announcing earlier this month that its own update for Fallout 4 would drop just two days later. An official, somewhat important change to Fallout 4 is something Folon would have needed to account for during development, so when the update was announced without warning, Fallout London was delayed. “We’ve signed NDAs (non-disclosure agreements) with big companies. Why haven’t we done that?” Carter continued. “They could just say, ‘Well, look, this is when it’s due to come out. Maybe, get your PR in order, or talk to your fans, cage expectations, because this is what’s going to happen,’ rather than just blindsiding us out of nowhere, which is what has happened.” @bbcnews Fallout London's lead developer has said they weren't told about Fallout 4's update this week which will delay their unofficial mod for the foreseeable future. #Fallout4 #FalloutLondon #Fallout #FalloutMods #Bethesda #Xbox #PlayStation #GamingTok #GamingNews #BBCNews ♬ original sound - BBC News blockquote.tiktok-embed[data-video-id='7360640392368229665'] { width: 325px; margin-left: 0; } blockquote.tiktok-embed iframe { border-radius: 8px; } Bethesda’s Fallout 4 update adds improvements across PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X | S. The list of changes includes stability improvements and fixes, up to 60fps support, quest updates, and more. It’s a long-awaited update that many no doubt excited to ***** into following the success of Season 1 of Amazon Prime Video’s Fallout series, but the lack of communication with Folon means that some fans will be left waiting. “We need to talk to people so that we can know these things,” Carter added. “This has definitely snowballed. We see ourselves as just developers who sit around in our pajamas, quite frankly, to then have this big corporation where we get millions of views on YouTube videos, we’ve out performed some of their Fallout 76 announcements, which is another game that they’re doing that relates to the series. You’d think that they’d have at least had a conversation to just be like, ‘Look, you guys are clearly at least notable, you’re not official, but let’s make sure that we don’t ruin this for the fans.’ ” He continued: “We’re doing this for the fans at the end of the day. The same fans, and this has just caused us to delay which hurts a lot of our team and our hard work for the past four years, and it’s let down a lot of fans. As a result, which we’ve seen from the backlash from the video, is that people are blaming Bethesda even though I’ve asked them not to. I think that’s inevitable when there’s that lack of communication. I just wish they had a conversation with us.” Fallout London has no new released date.

Very rarely, there’s a League of Legends update that buffs certain champions but lowers their win rates. Patch 14.8 has done just that to one of the game’s classic junglers. In the latest update, Riot Games’ developers tweaked Graves by giving a minor buff to his passive and base statistics. These weren’t substantial changes, but they should, in theory, still boost the champion’s win rate, at least a bit. It turns out, though, his stats in solo ****** have dropped when compared to Patch 14.7. View the full article

With the massive success Helldivers 2 has had in its first months, the opportunity for fun crossovers with other video games has opened. The popular PvE shooter has already drawn heavy similarities with Starship Troopers, but also plenty of different game franchises. However, organizing collaborations with video games would likely be an easier option. It also benefits both sides more than one with old movie or television franchises that would reap little to no benefit. View the full article
