Fortnite LEGO Expeditions might appear all cutesy at first, but you can come across deadly enemies of all types. If you're not healing in time, you can die quite a lot, which will ultimately lead to mission failure. While the mode offers respawn, there's an upper limit on how many times you can die and return. The respawn system is useful in desperate situations if your teammates can't save you in time with a revive. That said, the best solution is to not die in the first place, which is achievable when you manage to heal yourself. How do you heal yourself in Fortnite LEGO Expeditions? Like the OG modes, you can heal yourself with the help of consumables. Occasionally, you'll find an item with a red-colored body and a blue head. This item will be shown at the bottom right corner of your main screen (just like in the screenshot below). This item is known as Super Smoothie, which helps to recover your life when there are few HP left. Healing is simple: press the Q button, and your character will consume a smoothie and magically recover your health. However, you can take damage and die since there's a mini delay between consuming the item and restoring your health. Screenshot by Destructoid I have understood that it's best to heal yourself when you're far from the enemies. Avoid this advice if you're in a fight and about to lose your life. When rotating from one point to another on the map, check your health gauge at the bottom left corner and heal yourself. Per my understanding, no system auto-restorates health by default. How do you obtain Super Smoothie in Fortnite LEGO Expeditions? There are two main ways of obtaining this valuable item in Fortnite LEGO Expeditions (in a consistent fashion). Rescuing civilians: You'll come across trapped civilians randomly on the map. Rescuing them will reward you with the healing item and other resources like Essence.Random drops from enemies: Enemies will also drop the smoothie, aiding your survival. The drop rate is completely random. You can also get them from chests spawn across the map. So far, I haven't located too many chests on the maps, and some of them are hidden in tricky areas (making it hard for you to find them). To heal yourself, I would rather rely on eliminating enemies and saving civilians than go treasure-hunting. The post How to heal in Fortnite LEGO Expeditions appeared first on Destructoid.

Peter Pan has officially arrived in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Although the original Lost Boys aren't here for now, he'll eventually recreate a Dreamlight Valley version after unlocking and progressing through his storyline. Until then, we're venturing off into Skull Rock. How to find Peter Pan in Disney Dreamlight Valley You'll find Peter Pan inside Skull Rock after finishing the Forgotten's questline. After concluding the main storyline, you'll unlock the Forgotten's "A Forgotten Name" quest, letting you unlock them as a character and, later on, Peter Pan. Gameloft originally introduced this mission during the Mysteries of Skull Rock update and requires you to progress far enough into the main storyline to have met the Forgotten. If you've already reached this point in the story, you'll find A Forgotten Name in your quest log, ready to complete. However, there is a chance it won't appear right away. At the time of writing, there's a delay with the quest activating, requiring you to wait for it to randomly activate. If it hasn't appeared in your quest log, try restarting Disney Dreamlight Valley a couple of times. In most cases, that'll start the mission, letting you progress with the story. Skull Rock location Skull Rock is a large rock formation along the southeast side of Dazzle Beach. After entering the beach, turn toward the eastern half of the beach toward the small, circular island to the south that holds the seven orb pillars from the game's main story. You'll find Skull Rock next to this southern island that, as of the Mysteries of Skull Rock update, is now accessible to enter. Screenshot by Destructoid Depending on how far you are into other character's friendship quests, you'll have likely visited Skull Rock in the past. In particular, helping characters like Nala, Stitch, and Prince Eric will eventually lead to you finding this spot. You also needed to locate this landmark during the main storyline as you complete the Between a Skull Rock and a Hard Place quest. Given how infrequently you visit it, it's easy to forget where it is and need a quick reminder. At the time of writing, limited information is known about each of Peter Pan's quests. We’ll continue to update this page with more details as they become available. The post How to unlock Peter Pan in Disney Dreamlight Valley appeared first on Destructoid. View the full article
It's finally time to uncover the secrets inside Skull Rock in Disney Dreamlight Valley. To venture inside, you need to unlock and tackle the A Forgotten Name quest, which is a pretty tough one to work through. If you're struggling to acquire this quest or work through any of the steps included in it, we've got you covered. Here's a complete walkthrough for the A Forgotten Name quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Table of contentsHow to get A Forgotten Name quest in Disney Dreamlight ValleyHow to complete A Forgotten Name in Disney Dreamlight ValleyHow to get A Forgotten Name quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley Screenshot by Destructoid The A Forgotten Name quest seems to trigger randomly after you've completed all story quests featured in the main storyline. It seems to be a bit glitchy, as I had to reload the game around four times before it decided to appear. If you're not seeing this quest, close out of the game and reboot it entirely. Repeat this process until you get it to appear. If this still doesn't work, you may need to make sure you have all story quests done. How to complete A Forgotten Name in Disney Dreamlight Valley This guide is a work in progress and is receiving live updates as we work through this quest.

We've jumped around the Call of Duty ****** Ops timeline a fair bit already - the six games we've had so far have taken us from the Cold War to the year 2070 and back again, plus several spots in between. The upcoming ****** Ops 7 lands on a near-future point between ****** Ops 2 (which was set in 2025) and ****** Ops 3 (which played out across the late 2060s), and clearly features lots of advanced tech, judging by last week's reveal trailer. This setting, combined with leaks and rumors, has led to many people theorizing and hoping that an advanced, ****** Ops 3-style movement system would return for BO7. However, it's now been confirmed that there won't be that big of a gameplay leap, movement-wise, from ****** Ops 6 to ****** Ops 7, with no wall-running or jetpacks. However, it will feature an "evolution of Omnimovement." Read the rest of the story...

If, like me, you ended up keeping a bit of an eye on MindsEye once its release popped into view like a weird mind portal, you might remember one of the execs behind it causing a fuss with some Discord comments alleging bots were being used to bad mouth the game. Well, in a twist that'd be strange for other games, but feels pretty par the course for this one, developer Build A Rocket Boy's now denied that it's been using bots to say nice things about MindsEye. This wasn't totally out of the blue. Some folks had spotted some posts about the game with suspiciously similar wording. Read more View the full article

On Steam and other aggregators, Mindseye reviews remain relatively unenthusiastic. The debut game from Build A Rocket Boy, the studio created by former GTA, Red Dead Redemption, and Rockstar producer Leslie Benzies, Mindseye has been criticized by both players and publications, which cite issues with technical performance, repetitive mechanics, and uninteresting visual design. However, on some platforms, including social media, posts have appeared that have a more positive timbre, likening Mindseye to the launch version of Cyberpunk 2077 and praising the game's narrative premise. In several instances, these posts have the exact same wording and punctuation, and are characteristic of bot-generated comments uploaded by fake accounts. In response to suggestions that it has engineered these posts to spread favorable sentiment about Mindseye, Build A Rocket Boy emphatically says it does not and will not use bots.

You don't often see a gaming laptop for a price this low, while still offering a decent spec, but this $648 MSI gaming laptop deal genuinely delivers the goods. Not only does it contain a proper Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 gaming GPU, but it even includes a fast 144Hz screen, 16GB of RAM, and an Intel Core i5 CPU. You'll have to be quick, though, as Walmart says there are only a few left in stock. The laptop version of the Nvidia GPU in this MSI Thin laptop is quite unusual, as it contains the same core spec as the desktop GeForce RTX 4060, whereas you usually expect the laptop models to have a lesser spec. That's not the case here, though, with the GPU in this laptop giving you 3,072 CUDA cores and 8GB of dedicated GDDR6 VRAM, just like the desktop card - the only difference is that the laptop model has lower clock speeds. I've seen this laptop's price drop below $700 before, but I've never seen it go this cheaply before, making it one of the best gaming laptop deals I've seen. Read the rest of the story...

Date Everything is all about meeting characters around your house. From your bed, walls, and windows to items scattered around, there are a whole lot of people to talk to, including a mysterious entity, Shadowlord. This one may be peculiar, but it's also pretty funny. Table of contentsShadowlord location in Date EverythingHow to romance, befriend, and hate Shadowlord in Date EverythingShadowlord location in Date Everything There are a few ways you can learn about Shadowlord. Phoenica and Maggie will both give hints about his existence, telling you there is a permanent, unnatural shadow within the house that seems out of place. With this hint in mind, you can find and meet Shadowlord by interacting with the shadow cast by the globe in your living room. Within the same area where you met Maggie during the tutorial, you'll find a room with a piano, fireplace, and a globe next to a door, with an especially dark shadow on the floor. Interacting with this will summon Shadowlord, known ingame as xxXShadowl0rd420Xxx. Screenshot by Destructoid You can interact with Shadowlord at any time during the day. Although he'll suggest visiting during the night, you can spot the globe's shadow at any time, allowing you to interact in the morning, afternoon, or night, depending on your preference. How to romance, befriend, and hate Shadowlord in Date Everything After meeting Shadowlord, he'll initially appear in your Date-A-Dex at number 97 as "xxXShadowl0rd420Xxx." Like other dateables in Date Everything, you can achieve a friendship, love, or hate ending with Shadowlord that influences your interactions. Regardless of the route you go, you can advance your relationship status with Shadowlord by talking to him each day. Visit him regularly to learn more about him and respond to his stories in any way you wish. Beyond this, how you react is entirely up to what ending you're going for. Screenshot by Destructoid Your first option is to romance Shadowlord and become lovers. As he recounts his backstory about the Great Cataclysm, Dark Armaments, and past comrades, engage with his stories and ask for more information. Occasionally, you'll find flirtatious options to pick. As you talk to him more, he'll open up to you, revealing his true identity along the way. Once he does, continue showing care in a loving way, and he'll eventually start to love you. If you prefer befriending Shadowlord, be friendly toward him without making any flirtatious remarks. Your interactions will be mostly the same as the romance route, with you being interested in his stories and empathetic toward his past. However, you won't make romantic advances like you would in the first route. Lastly, you can get Shadowlord to hate you. Throughout your time with him, you can express complete disinterest in his story, telling him that the interactions *****, and even call him a loser. Anything disrespectful toward him will eventually lead to him hating you. Although this sounds bad at first, it can at least lead to some unexpected outcomes, depending on which other dateables you've met.

Speedrunners are already breaking FNAF: Secret of the Mimic mere days after release, with some even beating the game in four minutes, proving once and for all that when it comes to the speedrunning community, anything is possible. Of course, the legendary small time is only made possible by a glitch, but it's still pretty fascinating to see how it's done, and also, how quickly speedrunners were able to find out this information so quickly after the game's initial release. [Hidden Content] For the initial three minutes, you play the game normally. Get out of your truck, enter the gate, and enter the facility to watch the opening musical performance. It's only after you finally get into the backrooms that the game shows its glitchy secrets. Players discovered that by going into a locker next to a specific mascot costume, you can perform a glitch where the player exits and reenters the locker, forcing the player's model into the air. Once in the air, by pausing the game in a specific way, the game will shoot you into the ceiling and start to load a different part of the game entirely, which so happens to be the final chase sequence through the burning facility at the end of the good ending of the game. It's pretty wild to see this happen and be done so easily, with most speedrunners trying to get a world record in the margin of seconds at the time of writing. We expect the developers to patch out this amazing glitch that has led to the game being speedrun so quickly in a alter patch, but for now it's pretty easy to replicate and can be performed by pretty much anyone with some basic instructions. Letting you get the achievement for beating the game before going against any of the game's major bosses, from Big Top to the Mimic itself.

There are many unique characters you can meet around your house in Date Everything!, all of which are disguised as common household objects. Some of these characters are trickier to find than others, as they appear as items you may not know to check, as is the case with Doug. Doug is by far one of the toughest characters to meet and is maybe the single trickiest guy to track down. He's a really interesting Dateable to know, though, so here's how to find Doug in Date Everything!. Table of contentsWhere to find Doug (#98) in Date Everything!What is Doug in Date Everything?How to romance Doug in Date Everything!Where to find Doug (#98) in Date Everything! Screenshot by Destructoid You can awaken Doug by staring at the wall behind the stairs for 30 seconds with your Dateviators on. This process looks completely different from awakening all other Dateables around the house, so it's pretty tricky to solve and get done. Here are the exact steps you need to follow to find him. On the first floor, walk around to the back of the stairs near the dining room. Turn and face the yellow wall that's directly behind the stairs, as pictured above. Your exact location doesn't matter too much here, so just face the wall as directly as possible and you'll be fine. Equip your Dateviators and look at the wall. Do not press the interaction button while looking at this wall because it won't work. You cannot summon Doug by throwing hearts at him like you can for all other characters.Stare at the wall for a full 30 seconds without moving. As soon as 30 seconds have passed, Doug will appear in front of you so you can start chatting it up with him. Every time you wish to see Doug again, you have to follow these same three steps. He never appears any faster than 30 seconds, so patience is key for summoning him. He does sometimes seem to take a bit longer to appear, so just keep your character still and he'll eventually show. What is Doug in Date Everything? Doug is the personification of existential dread. He's less of an object and more of a concept, although he is tied to the one specific wall, so he's one of the most unique Dateables you can meet around the house. How to romance Doug in Date Everything! Screenshot by Destructoid If you want to achieve a love ending with Doug, you essentially need to stand up for yourself and not let him treat you badly. Going along with everything he says in an attempt to please him results in a friends (with benefits) ending, so be sure to get real with him and have some tough conversations if you are hoping to find love. You need to be nice at first, then once you know him a bit better, get more real with him. I recommend waiting to do so until around the conversation where he wants to watch cars crashing on Vidbucket. This is the best point to choose honesty if you want love rather than friendship with him. To find more Dateables you can romance, you may want to learn how to unlock the attic. You also might be interested in learning all voice actors in Date Everything! and what other projects you know them from. The post How to find Doug in Date Everything! appeared first on Destructoid.

You are a thirteen year old stuck in the shape of a T, arms aloft forever - what do you do? Well, in To A T, you simply go on living your everyday life. This kid-friendly town explorer is both a low-stakes comic adventure and a commentary on living contentedly with a disability despite daily struggles. As the only T-posing kid in school, you are also the target of three bullies, whose mockery and mimickry give your teen pause before heading out the door to school. This is mainly a story of how those bullies come to understand your troubles and appreciate some of your more far-fetched abilities (turns out spinning very fast allows you to fly, like a helicopter - who knew!) But it also takes a dip into truly silly territory, becoming more of an outlandish movie and less of an actual "game" as things go on. Read more View the full article

Director of the upcoming Elden Ring Movie, Alex Garland, is on his seventh playthrough of FromSoftware's epic fantasy RPG, and has revealed the boss he found the toughest to take down. Speaking to IGN ahead of the release 28 Years Later — the zombie apocalypse film he has written 23 years on from penning the first movie in the franchise — the Ex Machina and Civil War director revealed which of all of the famed foes in Elden Ring that he has settled on being the most difficult: Malenia, Blade of Miquella. “It's Malenia who's the tough one”, Garland explained. “I'm now on my seventh playthrough of that game. I've leveled up, I've got lots of juice, and a cool sword, and stuff like that, and I just throw myself at them again, and again, and again, and again.” “That was the technique I learned with Dark Souls," he continued. “It's not that you get better, it's more like monkeys and typewriters. You just keep doing it, and eventually, one day they're dead.” /www.instagram.com/p/DLBdKNBi8ig/embed But it turns out, Garland never had quite the trouble with Starscourge Radahn, instead offering his very own game help guide on how to take down the gravity magic-harnessing horseman. “Radahn's really easy”, stated Garland. “I thought Radahn was quite easy, because as long as you sort of activated the people who can assist you in that fight, they get on with fighting him, and they take off whatever it is, half his energy, and you finish him off. It's all about activating those little summon signs dotted around.” Can we expect either of these bosses to appear in A24's upcoming Elden Ring film adaptation? Well, as you may expect, Garland gave us no details on what he plans to do with the project. Indeed, we know next to nothing about the Elden Ring movie, which is in the works from Garland as writer and director, Elden Ring publisher Bandai Namco, and A24. Game of Thrones author George R. R. Martin, who helped create the original Elden Ring, is attached as a producer on the movie, as is Vince Gerardis. DNA’s Peter Rice will also produce, along with Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich from DNA. There’s no word yet on how involved FromSoftware or game director Hidetaka Miyazaki will be. What do you think the story of the Elden Ring movie should be? I, for one, think it would be smart to tackle a prequel based on the events of The Shattering, rather than the story of the game itself. Got your own idea? Let us know in the comments below! Simon Cardy is a Senior Editor at IGN who can mainly be found skulking around open world games, indulging in Korean cinema, or despairing at the state of Tottenham Hotspur and the New York Jets.
