Today I learned aboutbalut, a street food of the Philippines. Which is where first-person Filipino suspense gameHapunancan be found. You play a young street food vendor hawking the eggs on a quiet corner late at night. Naturally, something alarming is afoot. There is darkness to be illuminated by flashlight. There are jumpy moments when you turn to see someone unexpected right in your face. And there is an exponential uptick of schlock as the 20-30 minute game reaches its ending....

I wasnt trying to tell people not to use mods. It was more about being mindful. Both creators and users alike should ensure mods dont detract from the intended game experience.

Tifa Conversation Dialogue Conversation options with Tifa play a big role in influencing her relationship affinity. 3 star responses are the best, and 1 star responses the worst....

This is how I ended up spending much of my afternoon watching David Cage characters pissing. One video creator decided to painstakingly count every instance of playable pee time in cinematic adventure gameHeavy Rain. This is vital work. This is important work. I won’t spoil exactly how many pees you’re able to pee in the choice-heavy crime thriller. You’ll have to watch the video (or skip through it) to find out....

Me Clans, me precious Roving Clans! “It’s a simply splendid game.” Why in Meier’s name would Sega choose tosell off the studio behind such a worldly wonder? Here’s the announcement trailer. This one’s all about the perils of water. The old oxo-hydro cocktail. I’ve never really trusted the stuff, and only ever drink it in moderation. Now, you’ve got to worry about changing ocean levels. Do I detect a climate change fable?...

Extremely OKannounced Earthblade back in 2021with Celeste composer Lena Raine handling the soundtrack. In March last year, Thorsonblogged about development difficultiesbut assured readers that the team were making progress. That brings us to today. It sounds like last year has been more complicated than she originally divulged. Pedro’s departure prompted Berry and Thorson to think hard about the status of Earthblade as a whole. “But would it be worth the pain?...

My single listicle allowance for the year Typical, really. How am I supposed to present myself as a font of knowledge now, Id?

You might know that if youtreated Mick Gordon a bit nicer. “InDoom 2016you felt like Bruce Lee on a skateboard with a shotgun,” concluded Martin....

In Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, they return with more unique combinations than ever before. These Materia strategies work for both the PS5 Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth release and the recent PC port. Barret is also a good choice, since most of his abilities only require two ATB charges. Still, in the early game, Auto-Cast is great. When linked with another Materia, it’ll double the AP that those Materia earn from battles....

It’s kind of nifty. It looks like it’s from the 80s. Here’s a video. I had a play just now and can (re)confirm that I suck at being a ninja. In my defence, I Narutoed straight intothe Itch.io surfing app editionwithout even glancing at the control scheme. Impetuosity is not one of the ninja virtues, I gather. There’s probably an ancient ninja proverb about always reading the manual. You may fare better....

“Action Sack” is a returning playlist for the series. There are several floors of tiles. Fall into the void, and you’re knocked out. It’s a pure playground game made manifest in bright colours and bouncing beanpals. Here’swhat it looks like in Fall Guys. So, of course someone imported this battle-royale-in-miniature. It’ll sit alongside some other fun nonsense. it’s possible for you to see the other modes in the playlist ina post on Steamfrom the developers....
