Since we’re on the cusp of Gen Con Indy, it’s that time again. At tonight’s annual Diana Jones Award presentation, it was revealed that Jason Morningstar’s Fiasco has won this year’s prize. As you may recall, Fiasco was up against two other powerhouse roleplaying titles, The Dresden Files RPG and FreeMarket, as well as the board games Catacombs and Escape from the Aliens in Outer Space. Jason Morningstar won the award previously in 2008 for Grey Ranks, so maybe he’s getting good at this game design thing. Congrats again to Jason, and to all the well-deserved nominees.

In Journey the player controls a robed figure in a vast desert, traveling towards a mountain in the distance. Other players on the same journey can be discovered, and two players can meet and assist each other, but they cannot communicate via speech or text and cannot see each other's names. The only form of communication between the two is a musical chime. This chime also transforms dull, stiff pieces of cloth found throughout the levels into vibrant red, affecting the game world and allowing the player to progress through the levels. The robed figure wears a trailing scarf, which when charged by approaching floating pieces of cloth, briefly allows the player to float through the air.
The developers sought to evoke in the player a sense of smallness and wonder, and to forge an emotional connection between them and the anonymous players they meet along the way. The music, composed by Austin Wintory, dynamically responds to the player's actions, building a single theme to represent the game's emotional arc throughout the story. Reviewers of the game praised the visual and auditory art as well as the sense of companionship created by playing with a stranger, calling it a moving and emotional experience. Journey won several "game of the year" awards and received several other awards and nominations, including a Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media nomination for the 2013 Grammy Awards.

Prepare for liftoff with Mario and Yoshi!
In 2007, Super Mario Galaxy took the world of video games by storm. Now this first true Mario sequel in years re-energizes the franchise with new levels and new power-ups. Plus this time Mario gets to team up with his dinosaur buddy Yoshi, who adds new possibilities to the gravity-defying game play. It's everything you love about the first game and more.
* Mario collects stars as he travels from galaxy to galaxy. Every level is new, but the game retains the charm, sense of wonder and beauty in line with Mario's history. Mario works his way through the various levels, sometimes upside-down, sometimes floating from place to place.
* On some stages, Mario can find an egg, smash it open and hop onto the back of Yoshi. Yoshi can use his tongue to grab items and shoot them back at enemies, or to snag attach points and swing across chasms.
* Yoshi has an interesting diet. When he eats a Dash Pepper, he gets so hot and frenzied he can run up steep inclines and vertical walls. When he eats a Blimp Fruit, he inflates like a balloon and floats to new heights.
* New power-ups include a drill that Mario uses to tunnel through the planet's surface all the way to the other side of a planet.
* Skilled players will want to collect new Comet Metals, which will unlock harder levels with even more challenges.


A casino is a public place where a variety of games of chance are played. Typically, casinos offer luxuries such as restaurants, free drinks, stage shows and dramatic scenery to attract players.
The word casino is from the Italian phrase casin
Gambling is a worldwide business, and most nations have at least one casino or gambling house. The United States is the largest country with casinos, having more than 1,000 commercial and hundreds of tribal casinos in its borders and on its American Indian reservations.
Poker is a popular casino game and is found in almost every casino, regardless of whether they are in Las Vegas or elsewhere. This is because it is a great way to socialize with other people and have fun.
Slots are another popular game at casinos, with many players spending time playing these machines and winning cash. These machines are a major source of income for many casinos.
Baccarat is also a common game on the casino floor. This is a table game that is popular with both novices and experienced players alike.
In addition to slots, roulette, blackjack, and baccarat, there are a host of other games that you can play at a casino. Some of these games may be less popular, but you can always find something new and exciting to try out.


World number 113 Feliciano Lopez will be looking to win his first ATP singles title since he won at the Queen’s Club two years ago when he faces Gilles Simon for the same title on Sunday, with Simon looking to become the first Frenchman to ever claim victory at the tournament.
It has been an incredibly tough week for both men, unseeded at the tournament, though they have seen off seeds and, combined, seven three-set matches to reach the final, where they will meet for the eighth time. The advantage seems to be in favor of Lopez, who has won five of their previous meetings, including all four of their meetings in grass, with Simon winning just one set against the Spaniard tomorrow.
The winner of the final will claim 500 ranking points, whilst the loser will claim 300 ranking points, with both set to play again in Eastbourne next week.
Road to the Final
Simon got off to a very tricky start, prevailing in a final set tiebreak to beat qualifier James Ward in his opening round match, though then picked up his first top ten win of 2019 as he downed second seed Kevin Anderson, once again in three sets, to reach the last eight. There, he prevailed in another final set tiebreak against qualifier and fellow Frenchman Nicolas Mahut in one of the longest matches in the tournament’s history to reach the last four, where he rallied from a set down to beat fourth seed Daniil Medvedev in another tough match to reach just his second career final on grass- where he happened to lose to Lopez, in Eastbourne six years ago.
Meanwhile, Lopez has also been through some tight matches to reach his third final at this tournament. The Spaniard, a wildcard into the tournament, came from a set down to beat Marton Fucsovics in his first round encounter, though then did receive a walkover into the last eight following Juan Martin del Potro’s withdrawal. Lopez then reached the last four by winning a final set tiebreak against sixth seed and big server Milos Raonic, before coming from a set down for the third time to beat eighth seed Felix Auger-Aliassime and reach his first tour final since he won the title two year ago.
This match provides an interesting clash of styles, with the Spaniard certainly being more suited to grass. One of the reasons whilst he will have won all the previous grass court meeting between the two is that he has a big serve and is a strong mover. He will certainly hit several aces and unreturnable serves, and will also serve and volley a lot to pick up cheap points. He will look to do this regularly, whilst Simon will hope to return will, and engage his opponent in several long rallies as he aims to grind out the rallies and force errors out of his opponent.
Simon will also be forced to defend well, and it will be interesting to see how well his legs hold up after four lengthy matches so far this week. However, the Frenchman may prove to be just as energised as his opponent tomorrow, with Lopez having had a very busy and hectic week in the doubles due to the poor weather early on in the week. It will also be interesting to see how fresh he is coming into this match tomorrow.
With both having had many tough matches so far, it seems that this could be another battle for the two. Though he has played a lot of tennis this week, Lopez certainly has the advantage considering his grass court record over Simon, and general grass court history as well, and should be able to claim his second Queen’s title on Sunday.
Prediction: Feliciano Lopez in three sets


There is no doubt that indie games have become a serious contender against the multimillion mainstream titles. But rather than working against them, Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo and even Steam have drummed up their support for the indie games by allowing indie titles to appear on their platform and even devoting a large portion of their space. Titled as “Arcade Games” these games are available with Microsoft or Steam’s insane discounts and it is possible to get the latest indie game for literally pennies. They even showboat their love for indie platform games at E3, Eurogamer or Gamescom and you can’t blame them, it’s becoming a big business.
So when indie developer Subset Games released FTL back in September 14, 2012, you would have thought, like most games, the single-player, top down strategy and rogue like space combat simulator would be boring by now.
But no, two years later FTL still captivates the imagination of players who see themselves as starship captains like their sci-fi heroes from Star Trek, Star Wars and even Battlestar Galactica. Exploring the galaxy with a small crew and a starship has never been more challenging and exhilarating. You can voyage into a galaxy where you encounter various situations that require making captain like decisions that can result in many different outcomes. Since all events are randomly generated, each time you play will be significantly different.
As a strategic, real time combat game, you can’t just blast away your enemy with Plasma torpedoes or Laser beams. You need to ration your energy incase you need to hyperspeed the hell out of a sticky situation. The more you explore the galaxy the more you can upgrade your starship and manage the power between essential systems and choosing which enemy systems to target. However you can’t run a starship without a crew, so you’re going to have to make sure your crew are always at their battle stations incase they need to fight off intruders or mend your ship. In one playthrough you can be a helpful captain, willingly giving away your supplies to help others or you can be the tyrant of the galaxy, destroying and looting as you roam the galaxy. The choices you make in FTL ultimately determine your destiny in the game.
No matter how many times you travel across the galaxy, battle pirates or slave ships, there is always a new quest or distress signal that will steer you away from your maiden voyage to the final boss. When in one playthrough it may seem your voyage wasn’t too difficult but one battle with a rebel ship constantly breaking through your shields and the suns solar flares setting your starhip on fire can make any rogue like veteran want to abandon their ship.
FTL creates a brilliant limbo fear of knowing that your killing spree and smooth cruise through the galaxy may come to a fiery and explosive end. Even if you do survive a horrible battle, your vessel is still battered, some of your crew members are dead, fuel supply is low and you’re out of missiles. The phrase “”In space no one can hear you scream” comes to mind.
FTL: Faster Than Light is one of the most rewarding top down strategy and Roguelike games out there. For a game that provides hours and hours of galaxy fun, for a mere £6.99 on Steam it certainly is a bargain. FTL shows a voyage where you explore strange new worlds and seek out extra-terrestrials. It is up to you where you can become the tyrant or leader of the galaxy.


When it comes to annual game franchises as big and as long-running as FIFA, that yearly release cycle usually produces all-or-nothing entries with either game-changing developments or ones that change little but the kits and the cover star.
FIFA 19 falls somewhere in the middle of these two camps, offering an experience that builds on last year’s gradual improvements while adding a series of small adjustments that continue to push the series in the right direction (even if those additions aren’t particularly groundbreaking).
The Champions League license makes its entrance in this year’s installment, cementing the authenticity of FIFA - and EA Canada has certainly made the most of it. Along with the Europa League and the Super Cup, you’ll get the full CL experience in Ultimate Team, in Career mode and even in the narrative-driven The Journey mode.
With the full pomp and ceremony of the TV package - including that theme song and the team of Derek Rea and Lee Dixon on commentary duties - it comes with the authentic polish you’ve come to expect from FIFA.
Talking of The Journey, FIFA 19 sees the third and final entry in the single player story mode that sees protagonist Alex Hunter’s odyssey from amateur prodigy to football icon. Entitled The Journey: Champions, it’s the biggest and most ambitious chapter yet with Alex’s road to glory in Europe intertwined with rival Danny William’s career in the Premier League and half-sister Kim Hunter’s entrance onto the global stage as part of USA’s Women’s World Cup Squad.
There’s a lot more actual football this year, and while it’s sad to see the saga draw to a close, Alex Hunter's story goes out with a bang, thanks to its greater focus on Kim’s dream of becoming a pro. It never quite commits to the hinted commentary on sexism and marginalization in football, but we’re hoping a future version of the mode continues to give female players a spotlight (even if the entire game still lacks any other female representation).
Unfortunately, if you’re playing on Nintendo Switch, The Journey: Champions isn't supported as it uses the Frostbite graphics engine and the Switch version uses a custom engine to suit Nintendo's hybrid machine.
When it comes to the ebb and flow of gameplay, EA Canada has done more than simply add custom celebrations, with the new Active Touch system adding a more realistic set of physics to the ball.
It impacts first touches most of all, requiring you to balance momentum and position, but it also allows for more creativity and individuality such as feints and traps. When paired with the improved Real Player Motion system (which gives pro players the physical traits and mannerisms of their real-life counterparts) real life player behavior and individual skills impact one-on-one battles.
Time and tactics
Timed Finishes also make their debut, enabling you to tap shoot a second time as you strike the ball. You have a tiny window of opportunity to make the most of it (especially when you’re taking into account power and elevation), but nail the timing and you greatly improve the accuracy of your shot.
It’s a neat balance that rewards those who keep their cool under pressure in the penalty box, and can turn the most chaotic of scrambles into a top-corner screamer. It’s the kind of tactical addition that really changes scoring opportunities in Ultimate Team or any other online aspect of the game.
Finally, there’s an improved approach to 50/50 challenges. Now the size and momentum of a player serves a far more pivotal role in who wins the fight for a ball in the air. There are so many variables now at play - including how fast you are to react - that these 50/50 challenges come out feeling a lot more natural in their outcome. Much like everything else EA Canada has added to the flow of the action, it simply adds to an already addictive and engaging formula that’s served the series well since its move to the Frostbite engine.
Series veterans will also be singing from the stands thanks to the arrival of Dynamic Tactics. The much asked-for feature is very much for FIFA diehards rather than casual users, but it offers a frightening level of tactical agency both pre and mid-match. You can completely re-write formations and tactical setups, so if you want an almost Football Manager-esque level of control of the style of your entire squad, this is the kind of addition that’s going to keep you playing FIFA 19 beyond the chaotic No Rules mode.
FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) has also had something of an overhaul, with the online season structure dropped in favor of a new Divisions setup. It actually makes a lot more sense and enables you to progress through the ranks with a clearer path based on your skills and overall performance.
With the added sheen of the Champions League - and all manner of cards you can unlock via The Journey - FUT is still the same time-sink it’s always been. Unfortunately, that does mean there’s still a heavy emphasis on micro-transactions and the grind is still all too real, but it’s by far the most optimized version yet.
Verdict: Play it now
While it’s not going to go down as one of the groundbreaking installments in the series’ decades-long history, FIFA 19 nevertheless does everything it needs to do to improve the most-loved football simulator on the planet. The Active Touch system informs almost every part of on-field play, from first-touch decision right through to the adjusted 50/50 battles.
The addition of the Europa and Champions League steals Pro Evolution Soccer's last exclusive boon, and timed finishers weave in a little more finesse and tactical nuance to the age-old art of shooting at goal.
There’s even a new layer of customization with the addition of house rules to Kick-Off mode and a new Champions Channel to show off the best plays and goals in the community. If you’re picking up the series for the first time there’s a wealth of content to keep you invested, while those more subtle changes will have long-time fans enjoying a welcome new challenge.

- Fans of Final Fantasy VII suspect that the remake may soon appear on Microsoft consoles;
- All because of a tweet published by the Chinese branch of Xbox;
- Its quick edit has piqued the curiosity of gamers.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade debuted on PS5 in June this year and remains a temporary Sony exclusive. The deal will reportedly last for at least six months. So it seems that the game could be coming to other platforms as late as December or early 2022.
The likelihood of this actually happening has just grown. In fact, user HazzadorGamin noticed that an interesting poll was published on the Twitter of the Chinese branch of Xbox. It asked what female protagonist from games available on Microsoft consoles players like the most. Among the proposed characters was Tifa Lockhart.

- Final Fantasy VII Remake – Review of the Most Iconic jRPG Ever
- One Player Achieves the Crazy Feat of Unlocking All Trophies in All Final Fantasy Games
This wouldn't be surprising, as the character also appears in the original version of Final Fantasy VII, which is available on Xbox consoles. What is suspicious, however, is the reaction of those running the profile, who removed the option to select Tifa from the poll after a short while. It's possible that they considered its presence to introduce too much confusion among the players. Some, however, believe that it may mean an imminent announcement of a Final Fantasy VII Remake port for Xbox consoles.
At this point it's hard to say which scenario is more likely. After all, these are just speculations based on a poll posted on Twitter. However, it is possible that the first signs of the remake's expansion are indeed appearing online.

How exactly to Play Casino Baccarat
Casino Baccarat is really a highly popular card game that is around for many years. In fact, players have been playing the overall game at land-based casinos worldwide for decades. Now, it is possible to benefit from the fun and excitement of playing this classic game within an online casino. You can play the same games you’ve enjoyed for many years with the added capability of playing from your favorite computer monitor.
A variation 바카라 게임 사이트 of the classic card game, casino baccarat has gained popularity recently. The primary difference is that players win by betting on specific cards. While traditional players match wits or luck with a random collection of cards, in baccarat the cards are selected beforehand. When players win, they match their bets. If they lose, they need to replace their bet.
To put your bets in baccarat, the player simply talks about a pre-determined deck of cards. If the card that you have chosen is not in the same suit as the number or colors printed on the cards, you lose your bet. However, if you pick cards that are in the same suit because the numbers or colors on the cards, you win your bet and are declared the winner. To finish a round of baccarat, the ball player may call or raise, or fold, the bet.
The rules of baccarat are simple. You can find two decks that are organized on the table. At the start of each round of play, the dealer will deal five cards to each player face down. Then, the players receive seven cards from the dealer. At this stage, each player has three turns to produce a bid, call, or fold, depending on which pile gets the higher card count.
The initial players place their bets, and the ones with the best bids win their bets. The second players place their bets. Then, the 3rd players place their bets, and so forth. Because the game progresses, more players place their bets, until only 1 player remains, who’s left making use of their original card and the original card combination. At this time, the dealer then removes all of the cards from the baccarat tables and deals new ones, following a rules of the overall game.
Online casinos that feature baccarat allow players to put bets without ever leaving the comfort of their homes. Players can choose from baccarat games that work with a random drawing system or depend on the dealers to randomly select cards for them. Players can place bets while sitting in the home, and some online casinos even offer live action baccarat games.
Some online casinos also feature video poker, a version of baccarat that makes use of computer software. Video poker uses electronic chips rather than real cash to play video poker. The ball player places his / her bet using a charge card, and in the event that he or she loses the bet, the total amount is deducted from the credit card’s balance. This means that video poker players can win large sums of money, because winnings are kept in video poker accounts.
Online players can win in video poker for both house and online casino accounts. Once a player wins in video poker, that player receives all winnings – even though they lose the bet. Players must be aware, however, that in case of a video poker match, players cannot claim winnings if the dealer wins the match. Online casinos must spend to players if the house wins a match, so players must be careful when placing bets.
You can find online casinos that feature video poker as one of these games. These online casinos feature players against one another, rather than single players. When players take part in these kinds of online casinos, they will have to put their wagers right into a “blind” (or non-known) fund. After the game starts, the croupier (dealer) will lay one of several cards face down up for grabs. The dealer will then explain the rules of the overall game to the players. After the rules are explained, the players will place bets on the cards being laid.
Some online casinos allow players to place bets while watching television. In this way, players can learn the fundamentals of video poker, such as how to place bets, before actually starting the game. In addition, online casinos sometimes feature video poker tournaments, where top prize money is distributed to the winners. In the event that you enjoy playing video poker games and wish to improve your overall game, you should have a look at any online casinos that feature video poker.
Before placing bets, you should always read precisely what the croupier must say. Remember, the croupier is not simply an employee that’s trying to earn money from you. It’s actually his job to make sure that the bets placed are on the proper cards. If he says a particular card is “low” or “full”, it means that card is worth a lot more than another card placed close to it. After the game begins, and you also make your first bet, the croupier will count the quantity of your first bet contrary to the amount of your second bet, and so on.

Rutgers took down Maryland 70-59 on Saturday in University Park, their first road victory of the season. The Scarlet Knights were 0-5 away from home coming into the game this season, and 1-5 at Maryland since joining the Big Ten in 2014-15.
In fact, Rutgers has not won outside of Piscataway since March of 2020. This was Rutgers’ second game in a row on the road after playing four straight within the friendly confines of Jersey Mike’s Arena in Piscataway where they are 9-1 so far this season.
The Scarlet Knights earned a much-needed road victory, especially with it being in-conference. Let’s take a look at the keys to their win against the Terrapins.
A Tale of Two Halves
After a first half where Maryland bullied Rutgers defensively at times, the Scarlet Knights found themselves. Both teams struggled in the first half, but the defensive effort from Maryland led to an 11 point halftime lead for the Terps. Maryland had seven steals in the first half from seven different players. They shot just 42% from the field, but were able to play disciplined ball, not sending anyone from the Scarlet Knights to the line in the first half.
Rutgers came out strong in the first half, but Maryland kept up their strong play – at first. The Scarlet Knights eventually took their first lead of the second half with just under 10 minutes left in the game. We will get to Ron Harper Jr.’s second-half explosion momentarily, but add that effort to the rest of the team cleaning up their play and not allowing themselves to feel out of it, Rutgers ended up outscoring Maryland 43-21 and held on to win by 11 themselves. The Scarlet Knights won this one through their efforts on the defensive end and their hustle in the second half.
After the game, head coach Steve Pikiell spoke with the media about the issues in the first half:
“We played really hard in the first half. We fouled too much and you can’t defend the free throw line. We had too many turnovers. They had 18 points off of our turnovers and 13 points off of free throws. They had seven points when we played good defense. So I told them to stop turning it over and stop fouling and we did that. That’s what happened at halftime. I liked out effort and our energy.”
Paul Mulcahy's second half change
Junior guard Paul Mulcahy had a rough first half to say the least. Not normally known as a huge contributor on the offensive end, Mulcahy brings a fire and tenacity to the team that is important to their success. Much of his success hinges on playing aggressive, but disciplined basketball.
Mulcahy seemed indecisive at times, not being able to move the ball as efficiently as he normally would. Worst of all, he personally turned the ball over five times in the opening frame. He did not look like himself out there for the Scarlet Knights. But then came the second half.
— Rutgers On BTN (@RutgersOnBTN) January 15, 2022
Mulcahy came out on fire in the second half, putting up 11 of his 15 points after the break. He finished the contest by adding six rebounds, three on the offensive end, and three assists – all coming in the second half. The junior guard truly encapsulated Rutgers’ “tale of two halves.”
Ron Harper Jr.'s historic night
Ron Harper Jr. has been the leader of this team the entire season. He may not play in Philadelphia, but he surely is the MVP of the team thus far and today was no different. Harper set a new career with with 31 points, 20 of which came in a very strong second half for the Scarlet Knights. Harper went 6-for-8 from three-point range. His six makes from deep is also a new career high.
— Rutgers Basketball 🏀 (@RutgersMBB) January 15, 2022
Harper was a perfect 5-for-5 in the second half from downtown and shot 62.5 percent from the field overall in the contest. He secured his career best point total when recovering a rebound on his own missed free throw, late in the game. No. 24 finished with four rebounds and two assists.
After the game, Harper spoke with the media about his performance:
“I was just trusting teammates and trusting the offense. I get open shots like that in practice and in the games because of my teammates that are finding me. I don’t need to hunt shots because I know Paul (Mulcahy), Geo (Baker), Caleb (McConnell) and the rest of the cast are going to find me.”
Big Cliff continues to be a force on the boards
Center Clifford Omoruyi continued his dominance in the paint for the Scarlet Knights. He finished the contest with another 10 rebound performance – his fourth in the team’s last five games. Four of his boards were of the offensive variety. Omoruyi was not called upon to be a major course of offense in this one, but made sure his presence was felt. Clifford the big Scarlet Knight finished six points and was key on the defensive side of the ball with three blocks and one steal.
Rutgers heads back to Piscataway for their next matchup as they are scheduled to take on the Iowa Hawkeyes on Wednesday, January 19 at 8:30 p.m. EST. the Scarlet Knights will have three more games in January to help prepare them for the onslaught they will face in February. Five of their eight opponents in February come against opponents ranked in the top 25 in the AP poll.
If you plan on attending any Rutgers games at Jersey Mike’s arena coming up, make sure you review the updated COVID-19 in-venue protocols.

Hyper Demon – is an arena-like FPS shooter that is simply awesome. This is a sequel to Devil Daggers 2016, with the familiar hand in the middle of the screen. The game retains many elements, like killing demons and getting gems for upgrades to get a high score. However, it looks like this developer has taken all the drugs before making this game. Giving this title an oppressive look may align with what they are going for. With the growing popularity of games like Neon White, there could be another high-score chasing game.
Hyper Demon is Doom Eternal of Devil Daggers, and that’s not a hard comparison to make. Looking back, Devil Daggers came out in 2016 and hadn’t got that much hype. It was a fast wave-based shooter where you must survive as long as possible. Certain enemies show up at certain times. The more you play it, the more you remember who’s spawning and when to make your strategies. It’s a leaderboard-based game. Hyper Demon but having trippy visuals. One could excuse for thinking they’re the same game aim at first glance. You’re in the same circular arena, shooting out of hand absorbing red orbs, enemies coming in waves – it’s the same thing? No, it most certainly is not. Whereas Devil Daggers is a game based on survival, Hyper Demon is a game based on aggressive efficiency. The leaderboard does not depend on a time score. It shows a value calculated by killing enemies.
The better you destroy everything around you, the higher the value gets; when you die, that value sets as your score. You won’t move the value much if you play it like Devil Daggers, just trying to survive. You could play 30 minutes and get a much lower score than someone who played for 30 seconds if that person did much more damage in their time. Try to survive and get used to the game, not just the visuals but the mechanics, because a lot is happening here.
All the interesting high-level tactics of Devil Daggers have been expanded upon, explained, and integrated into the core gameplay loop. The shotgun blast that doesn’t feel useful when you first start playing Devil Daggers now feels incredibly useful. The game has a training section that goes through every step of advanced movement, offense, and defense. There is a quick dodge mechanic based on recognizing an enemy’s flashing eyes. You may notice some of the enemy’s weak points, where if you dash into the spawning crystal at the right moment – you instantly kill it and stop it from spawning a bunch of small enemies. More movement options are available for the player, there’s now a dash mechanic, and the only thing we are missing is a grappling hook. And not everything is explained. There are still other strategies and enemies to discover.
Much like Doom Eternal, the game has become incredibly more vertical. You have a double-daggered jump shooting the shotgun blast twice at the ground and then air dash and bounce in midair for the second time.
Game Visuals and Mechanics
Visually it’s going to take some time to get used to, just looking at it can be not easy. But it all starts to work once you’re focused and know what you are doing. Make sure you play the training mode first because there is so much to learn. Killing enemies drop red orbs. You’ll pull them in if you stop firing, making your projectile stronger. It degrades as you use it, and you’ll need to pull in more. You can also hold the right click to convert orbs into a laser shot instead of absorbing them, which does more damage based on how many orbs you attract. If you aim at the ground, the laser turns into a tracking projectile that can hit multiple enemies. If you shoot a laser at a giant red orb, homing missiles will emerge. A Group of centipedes will regularly spawn in, and if you shoot them, they’ll be stunned.
Indicated by their change in color, you can shoot them more to kill them or keep them in stun. You better kill foes quickly because if they come out of the stun, they’re coming right for you.
You will see that sometimes enemies flash in red on the screen. That’s your rearview, it’s a bit weird at first, but you’ll eventually be able to react to seeing things behind you, which is very helpful. Overall, the game is good at communicating important information to you, not just visually but in the audio department as well. Every action has a clear, distinct sound, so you always know what’s happening. Even approaching the arena’s edge has a sound effect, muffling everything around you, warning you are getting too close.
You will spend some time getting all this memorized, it’s a lot to take in, but you’ll start to rise the leaderboard as you get more comfortable with the controls and strategy. Unlike Devil Daggers, which was time-based, Hyper Demon has you controlling spawns with enemy kills.
Understanding the rhythm of the game helps a lot because you start noticing what’s going to happen next, you can prepare to deal with it like you’re killing an enemy, in a similar rhythm we can shine a light on METAL: Hellsinger and you won’t regret it.
If you own Hyper Demon, there is an amazing replay feature where any player can post a link to their run, and you can watch it live in your own game. That’s a real classic 90s PC feature.
Hyper Demon has a very high recommendation rate, and if you can handle the visual effects, you have to play this one for sure.


Is Blissey worth playing in Pokemon Unite after recent buffs?
Sep 11, 2021
Given the recent buffs targeting Blissey in Pokemon Unite, is this newer Pokemon now a top pick in the popular game?
As the newest support in Pokemon Unite, Blissey is still finding its place in the meta while the game’s developers are still trying to find the right balance for the tanky healer. In the most recent balance patch 126.96.36.199, Blissey received some great buffs that could potentially boost this Pokemon’s place in the game’s meta.
These buffs had Blissey’s special defense increased while Safeguard got a reduction in cooldown and an increase to itsarea of effect. The more important buff is that Safeguard will now remove all status conditions from the user and the designated ally that Blissey chooses. Both will grant a shield that will make the two Pokemon immune to hindrances while active.
Is Blissey good in Pokemon Unite?
Prior to these buffs, players were already making big use of Blissey through its heavy healing capabilities. As a ranged support, Blissey wasn’t added to the game to be the next big carry but instead as a healer that can enable the rest of its team. These strengths are already showing on Aeos Island, as Blissey is currently the perfect companion to any of the hyper carries in the game.
Despite the large amounts of healing offering, Pokemon Unite developers still felt that Blissey needed a buff, even to a point that it was the only change made to a Pokemon in this patch. Now with several buffs added, it’s expected that Blissey will get a boost in priority and may potentially be prioritized over the likes of Wigglytuff in some cases.
These buffs have certainly given Blissey some new tools, as it will now be close to impossible to lock down targets when an opposing Blissey is around. The Safeguard buffs will also make Blissey’s build path pretty simple, as it currently seems too strong to pass up.
The upcoming weeks will tell if this patch has put Blissey in a balanced spot or if more changes are may still be needed.

"Hanging On by a Thread"
Congratulations to Maoli Yamaguchi from Playa del Rey, California for being the first game player to figure out the name of Rebus 28! For those of you still trying to figure out the script lettering in the background, they are scientific names for endangered animal species. Did you know when you play the Rebus game, you are competing with game players all over the country? There are Rebus game players from Hawaii to New York. The major concentration of players reside in California with Washington next. Of course, this is just what I have on record. There are about 200 game players that I can't account for...not sure where they are from. Perhaps maybe some are from outside the US. Well, stay tuned and perhaps I will post some clues for my upcoming Rebus 29!


Augie baseball opens Central Regional with 9-4 win over Pittsburg State
MAGNOLIA, Ark. - The 5th seeded Augustana baseball team (45-8) took down 4th seeded Pittsburg State (33-20) in the first game on the Central Regional in Magnolia, Ark. on Thursday, 9-4.
With the win, the Vikings move to the winner’s bracket and guarantee their stay in Arkansas to go to at least Saturday. It was also Augustana’s second NCAA tournament win in school history with its first coming in 2014. The Vikings are now 2-4 all-time in the NCAA tournament.
The offense was opportunistic and the pitching staff grinded in the Vikings 9-4 victory. Only four of the nine runs were earned as Vikings capitalized on three Gorilla errors. The three Viking pitchers allowed four runs seven hits while stranded 10 Gorilla baserunners on base.
Tyler Mitzel (10-0) earned the win for Augustana after going five innings, allowing two runs on six hits while walking four and striking out six. Mitzel becomes the second Viking to win double digit games in a season, tying the school single season record of 10 wins set by Jacob Blank in 2017 (10-0). Austin Orvis and Jed Schmidt finished out the game for the Vikings with each tossing two innings. Orvis allowed no hits and no runs while striking out two and Schmidt allowed two runs (zero earned) on one hit with two punchouts.
Riley Johnson led the Vikings going 3-for-4 with a double, a walk and four runs scored to tie a single game career-high. Michael Svozil, Sam Baier and Lucas Barry each tallied two hits. Lucas Wylie recorded three RBI with a home run and Jordan Barth and Baier each notched a pair of RBI.
The Vikings struck first in the first inning on a Barth single. Barth lined a single off of the pitcher’s leg advancing Svozil to third, but would score on a throwing error on the play to give Augustana a 1-0 lead. The Vikings opened the game up in the third inning with a four-run frame. Johnson scored on a Barth sacrifice fly and Wylie got the big hit of the inning after a Pitt State error extended the inning. Wylie hit a two-out, three-run home run to right field give the Vikings a 5-0 lead.
Augustana would add another two runs in the fourth. Baier laced a double down the left field line to score JT Mix and Johnson would score the final run of the fourth on a fielder’s choice. The Gorillas got on the board in the fifth with a pair of runs to make the score 7-2 Vikings
The Vikings would add to their lead with a run in each of the sixth and eighth innings. Johnson would score in each inning, in the sixth in a Svozil single and in the eighth on a Baier single. The Gorillas would add two runs in the eighth to make the final score 9-4.
Augustana advances to the winner bracket and will play in game seven of the Central Regional at 5 p.m. in Magnolia, Ark. tomorrow, May 18. The Vikings will play the winner of No. 1 Southern Arkansas/No. 8 Emporia State.


Sony Interactive Entertainment released today the reveal trailer for the much awaited MediEvil remake for the PlayStation 4.
Following its announced back in 2016, we haven’t heard anything about the MediEvil remake until today. Built from the ground up, MediEvil for the PlayStation 4 is a total remake featuring brand new graphics, trophies, 4K support, and more. The puzzles, locations, and characters you know from the game twenty years ago remains intact.
Here’s a statement of Sony via the PlayStation Blog:
Sir Daniel Fortesque first shook off his premature burial 20 years ago and has had a dedicated fan base ever since. We believe those of you who come to this title anew will find the bones of the story remain strong.
MediEvil follows the story of Sir Dan, an unlikely champion who met an unfortunate end on the field of battle. He receives a chance at redemption when his nemesis, the evil sorcerer Lord Zarok, accidentally resurrects him 100 years after that fateful day. Lord Zarok seeks to conquer the Kingdom of Gallowmere, and only the skeletal Sir Dan stands between Zarok’s army of the undead and the kingdom he swore to protect.
Whether you picked up the original or never heard of the original, we know you’ll love the sword swinging, perilous puzzles and enchanting environments. Brought back to life by our International Software Development team in partnership with Other Ocean Interactive, this a full remake of the original PS1 classic – with all of the scarecrows, zombies, werewolves, and mace-wielding knights lurking in the kingdom with more detail and personality than ever before.
MediEvil is one of my most favorite PlayStation games to release on the original PlayStation. Seeing Sir Dan once again in glorious 4K resolution is always a pleasure.
There’s currently no release date yet for the MediEvil remake but it’s scheduled for release sometime in 2019 exclusively for the PlayStation 4. Once Sony announces a definite release date, we’ll let you know.
Check out the trailer below:

Surviv.io is the official version of the original browser surviv.io battle royale. All of the updates made to the original game will be made to the mobile game as well, so everything is in sync!
With fast paced matches and randomly generated maps, surviv.io is the ultimate mobile battle royale experience. Our surviv.io cheats and tips will show you how to be the last one standing!
This battle royale is like other top down battle royale games, so past experience applies here! But do not worry if you are unfamiliar, as we are here with our surviv.io cheats, tips and tricks strategy guide to be the last one standing!
Grab the essentials!
As soon as you spawn in, make a mad dash for the nearest building or crate. Wooden crates sometimes have items inside, but you will have to break them open first, so be aware of your surroundings.
Buildings have a much higher chance to contain some essential loot, including weapons, helmets, body armor, backpacks, and more. Try not to engage any other players until you have a full set of gear for the best chance of survival!
One of the most essential items are scopes. Scope in this game will zoom your camera out, allowing you see more of the world around you. They come in 2x, 4x, 8x, and finally 15x levels. Having a visual before your enemies do allows you to get the jump on them!
Of course, if you see a player who is clearly unarmed, you should take advantage of that, even if you do not have a full set of gear yet. Taking out players early is always a good thing!
Strategize and take cover!
If you are out in the open and you start taking fire from an unknown source, immediately take cover to avoid any scratch damage. There are random gray barrels strewn about the environment – these are perfect to take cover behind.
But, beware – there are light gray barrels and dark gray barrels. The dark gray barrels EXPLODE when they take enough damage, so do not stay by those, and take advantage of opponents who are doing just that!
Additionally, you may notice that you are slightly obscured whenever you walk under a tree. If you stay completely still, you may be able to hide from enemies, but keep in mind that you are never completely hidden. Though, the element of surprise may help you get the jump on an enemy.
Look for the secret bunkers!
Occasionally you may come across a set of suspicious looking stairs that go downward. If you follow these stairs, you may end up in a secret underground bunker. These bunkers have a very high chance of containing powerful weapons and high-tier loot. Just be careful, as there is an equal chance you may encounter another player down here!
Load up on painkillers and soda!
Painkillers and soda, when used, will fill up an orange bar that goes over your health bar. Whenever you take damage and there is a portion of the orange bar filled, it will drain to automatically recover your actual health.
While it may seem like the regeneration is too slow to be beneficial, it can and will be the difference between life and death in certain situations. The more the orange bar is filled, the faster your health will regenerate.
Take note however that even if you are full health, the orange bar will deplete on its own over time. You should still use painkillers and soda as soon as you are able to, but just keep this in mind.
Balance your weapons!
Each gun class uses its own type of ammo. You can have two guns on you at any time, so try to have two separate classes. We like to rock a short range and long range gun – for example a shotgun and an assault rifle. This will help you pick off foes from afar or get up close and personal to finish them off.
Take advantage of fire fights!
When the red zone starts to collapse on a small area and there are only a few players left, it is time to get dirty! Try to goad other players into fighting each other, then go in and finish them off when they are damaged from the previous fire fight. It is every man for themselves here, so try to take advantage of random fire fights breaking out!
That’s all for Surviv.io! If you have any other tips or tricks to share, let us know in the comments below!

Naturally, among the most essential things which you need to remember whenever you’re choosing an internet place to perform is your banking. You have to understand you could count on a range of different deposit and withdrawal methods – that can be very substantial.
The Star is the scatter symbol, so called because it can appear scattered across the reels and doesn’t have to appear on a winning payline to grant you bonus spins. In Shaman’s Dream, three or more stars scattered across the reels will activate the free spins bonus where you’ll be rewarded with 10 free spins. Better yet, any wild symbols that land on reels 3, 4 or 5 will become stacked across the entire reel to create some big money wins.
Depositing and withdrawing is not a problem, at least not when we’re dealing with a well-established online casino like Bwin. There are more than 25 different payment options you can use to fund your Bwin player account. If this is not enough for you, Bwin Casino accepts deposits in multiple currencies as well, or if we put a number to this, more than 12 different currencies.
Playing cards require some math to calculate your odds on any given hand. It’s isn’t complicated, but good players usually know a rough estimate of their chances of winning holding any hand. Being able to get a sense of your opponent, to know if they’re tight or loose, and passive or aggressive is important. Noticing their tendencies not only tells you whether they’re bluffing or holding the cards, but it also teaches you whether they’re likely to call your bluffs or fold when you show strength. Having insight into human nature and human psychology makes you a better Texas holdem player. Sure, you can misread a person or a situation, but some people exist who are good at these things, so they can make a living playing cards.
Like blackjack, baccarat is played using a shoe that contains several standard decks of playing cards (usually six or eight). The object of the game is to guess which of two hands will win each game: the player hand or the banker hand. Despite the names, the dealer actually controls the play of both hands, so the players never handle the cards in baccarat (except in some VIP rooms, where the players will take turns dealing with help from casino staff).
When three orb symbols appear, players can trigger a free spins round. During this round, five free spins are granted and there is the potential for entire reels to turn wild. There is also an Owl Bonus, which provides players with a pick-a-prize round that offers up generous prizes.
FormatIn Sunrise Reels, there are three reel and five paylines. Betting is fixed on all five paylines, and players can bet between 25c and $100 per spin. With a wide range of betting options, Sunrise Reels is perfect for players with varying budgets – from high rollers to casual players and penny pokie fans.

Moreover, keep track of Bitcoin Penguin Casino on social media, because that’s the place where Bitcoin Penguin Casino notifies players of any limited time bonus deals.

“Allowing longer licences to be issued for ‘compliant Societies’ will only encourage these parasitic companies rather than provide relief to long suffering communities,” writes Mr Minto. “Minto for Mayor would give communities the right to decide if they want pokie machines and if the community says no then the machines would go”.
At first glance the game board for Mystery Rush can seem a little overwhelming, with words, phrases, images and drawings taking up every spare centimetre. When you look at it more closely, however, the logic of the design becomes clear.
Gambling participation among university students continues to increase, according to a new study from Federation University. The findings of this research indicate that further safeguards are required in order to prevent students from developing unhealthy gambling habits.
When this bonus feature commences you’ll find that all of the cherry bombs that appear on your reels explode to reveal the same mystery symbol. These can be standard icons or a chilli pepper, which will kill the zombies and continue your bonus feature. There’s no fixed number of spins and this bonus will continue until the zombies eat your brains! However, if you find the golden plant, this will reward you with the progressive jackpot.
In most cases, the answer to this question will be yes. Whether you have a MasterCard-branded credit card or a debit card, it’s likely to be accepted as a form of payment no matter where you want to do your gambling online.

Hotline Miami's thrillingly brutal gameplay is stretched to the point of breaking in this aesthetically pleasing, but otherwise disappointing sequel.
Battlefield Hardline did not crash during our tests and appears to function precisely as expected at this time.
There's a word for games like The Order: 1886. Rental.
3G, 3GS, and have a 4S now, probably changing to 5 anytime now.
My top choice was Michael Fassbender, but he's already Magneto, and my second choice was either Wes Bentley or Bradley Cooper. It's an interesting take, I'll give him the benefit of doubt.
Resident Evil 2, played it when I was like 10. Dude, that game gave me some serious nightmares, also, made me love survival horror games. :D
Anything other than modern day would be annoying and disappointing.
looks amazing, I've been really excited for this game since it got announced back in 2010.
Finished it already, it was cool but certainly not what I expected, didn't felt that epic vibe like with the main story. I'd still recommend it tho.
The newer Final Fantasy games have bad box art with the title and sometimes a character on a white background. Not as bad as others but the Final Fantasy has potential for great box art.Box Art for Final Fantasy 13

Looks like the recently released Tetris 99 is going to be getting a lot of new content soon. According to recent datamines, three new modes are going to be added to the game. Considering there is only one mode available at the moment, new game modes would certainly spice up the game for many. The game only supports online play right now but the addition of “COM Battle” will likely allow players to play offline against bots. It’s also interesting to note that the datamines are supported by the stats page of the game.
New gamemodes will be added to Tetris 99 in an update.
– "Team Battle": Two giant teams clash. Be on the winning side!"
– "COM Battle": "Battle against 98 bots. Defeat the machines!" (supports both 99 Battle and Team Battle)
– "Marathon": score attack -> 200 lines or endless

For those who aren’t are in the loop, Tetris 99 is essentially a multiplayer battle royale version of Tetris exclusive to the Nintendo Switch. It was announced during the latest Nintendo Direct and is free to those who are subscribed to Nintendo Switch Online. Players play Tetris against 98 other players to see who will be the last player standing. The “Marathon” mode described in the datamine will also support in-game achievements. Currently there are some features that have been announced such as in-game events that were mentioned during the Nintendo Direct but there is no information on them as of writing. It’ll be interesting to see what those events will be like and what the rewards that Nintendo described for said events will be like.
The titles being released on the Nintendo Switch as of late sure seem to be taking a new approach to classic games. It seems like the recently announced remake of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening falls under the same category. The game seems incredibly ambitious, remaking the original in a completely new art style. For those who are interested in reading more about the Nintendo Direct the game was announced during, you can read our full coverage on that Nintendo Direct here.

First, The Abyss from OGLAF (this link is SFW, but much on OGLAF is delightfully NSFW, so fair warning.) I'd like to think the PCs in my game are like the Thaumaturge, but I suspect they'd rather be the commoners as that's the much more enjoyable path.
"Self," I thought to myself, as I am wont to, on Tuesday afternoon, "You're going to keep things moving & not going let tonight's Fading Suns become a Plot Gobbler, right?" "Yes, other self," I told myself, and I'd like to think I succeeded. Truth is, I've been running lots of Plot Gobbler sessions lately, where I, as GM, do a piss poor job of keeping things moving along or at least staying enjoyable and instead let the game slow to a grind of intra-party dickering and pointless NPC interactions. While I was able to reign it in for the last Fading Suns session I ran, I'm unsure it it will be as easy when I run my next session of Reign... Part of it is Final Fantasy NPC Syndrome and part of it is in the different Nature of the Beasts of the two games I'm running.
(as always, you'll be better served if you read my Episode summary at the Last Rest blog, though this last one was a little threadbare and not up to my usual standards)
FINAL FANTASY NPC SYNDROME
- While it could have just been a misunderstanding on my players' behalves that they thought the cache they were looking for was for the Everburning Cinder and that's what made them determined to find out just how the two NPCs they found at the empty cache came to know about it, I think it was Final Fantasy NPC Syndrome (FFNS) instead.
- What do I mean by FFNS? If you ever played the old SNES Final Fantasy games you might recall times where you'd go into a town and you'd have to interact with each NPC before you found the one that had that tiny tidbit of information that let you determine the next plot point. There might be 20 NPCs in a town and each would have something to say, 19 of the 20 would have something banal or useless but that 1 would have just what you needed. Even worse was when you returned to a town and you had to go back through all 20 NPCs to find the one whose dialogue had changed and now was what you needed...
- I suspect this is part of what drove my players at the last Reign Session... I gave the two NPCs fairly detailed descriptions and I had a backstory made for them, because I intended to give them a quick introduction and then to have them reappear in the story later, which may or may not happen now. But since the NPCs had more depth than "generic shopclerk" I think my players latched onto them, sure that these two had an important plot point to give up at just that time. Looking back, I should have just come up with something on the fly to get my PCs back on track, but alas I did not.
THE HYDRA AND THE VIPER
- I've started to think of my two games as a Hydra and a Viper. Reign is the Hyrda, with its seven players, all of whose back-stories went into forming the plot. Fading Suns is the Viper, with a plot just as complex, but only four players whose back-stories are entirely separate from the plot.
- With the Hydra of Reign, when one plot point is resolved, exposing Kaden Shaw as the mole, two or three more plot points spring up. With the Viper of Fading Suns, as convoluted as the plot gets, because it ultimately springs from one source, it gets tangled but does not multiply and that makes it easier for me to bring the players back to the plot.
- The analogy holds for most other things as well, including player decisions. While I intended for the company in Reign to have one unifying goal, they at best have seven different interpretations of their goal. In Fading Suns, the players were tasked with discovering a murderer and they all know that is the goal which keeps their decision making focused.
- Keeping this analogy in mind, as a GM I know that I need to start using a flaming brand on the Reign game, burning off some plot points in a way that will keep them from multiplying as I shepherd the game towards its conclusion.
- Keep the game on task, find ways to subtly guide the players to what NPCs are important and what NPCs know 1 small thing that the players can take and move on.
- Start closing off plot-points. Ideally, right now I have three or four episodes to run after episode 9, which means that I need to keep the group focused and on target towards the planned conclusion.
- Incorporate Company Actions into the middle of the session, hopefully with the challenge of the Siege before them, this will be easier.

GameStop: 60% Of Gamers Would Not Purchase A Console That Blocks Used Games
There has been a great deal of controversy lately over rumors claiming that Sony’s and Microsoft’s next generation consoles will not play used games in order to combat the second hand market. During the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference, GameStop Chief Financial Officer Rob Lloyd took the opportunity to defend the distribution of used games, by stating that gamers would not purchase a next-gen console if it did not allow them to play pre-owned titles.
“I think it’s approximately 60 percent of the customers who have said they wouldn’t buy a new console if it didn’t play pre-owned games,” Lloyd said.
Erroneous belief that the second hand market has led to decrease in sales of new titles has publishers hell-bent on destroying the distribution of used games. For months rumors have spread that both Sony and Microsoft would try and crush such practices by ensuring that their new hardware locked disk to a single console. Sony has since refuted the rumors and stated that they would not implement such policies. Microsoft, on the other hand, has yet to make an official statement; and judging by recent rumors of mandatory installs, it appears that Microsoft will ignore consumer protest, as well as GameStop’s data, and go ahead with one time use on all games. Nevertheless Mr. Lloyd made it clear that pre-owned game sales barely hinder publisher revenues, stating that only about 4% of used games sales came from titles released within past 60 days, and that customers who traded in their games often used their credit toward the purchase of new games. Now this is pretty staggering news given the fact that publishers claim to be hemorrhaging money due to the practices of pre-owned retailers like GameStop.
“It’s really only about 4 percent of our used game sales are games that were games released in the last 60 days,” he said. “Our buy, sell, trade model puts over a billion dollars worth of currency in the customers hands every year, and that currency goes primarily toward the purchase of new games.”
GameStop also appears to have conducted research into the purchasing habits of gamers. They claim that customers do not want to move toward a digital model, and instead want the ability to purchase tangible products. Presumably this is due to the fact that disk can be used on numerous consoles; while digital games are restricted to one console, and therefore cannot be sold or traded back to retailers.
“Consumers want the ability to play pre-owned games; they want portability in their games; they want to play physical games, and to not have those things will be a substantial reason for them not to purchase a new console,” claimed Lloyd.
Ultimately I stand on the side of the consumer, and will not support next generation consoles that lack the ability to play used games. Consumers should be free to buy, sell, and trade their games as they see fit, as a game is a product that publishers have no control over once it has been sold. GameStop’s statistics have shown that the second hand market far from hinders the new game market, and in fact helps it grow by pumping more cash into the hands of consumers. Gamers want to be able to play used games, and developers need to understand that they cannot ignore the wants of consumers without facing severe repercussions.
You can listen to Mr. Lloyd’s presentation here.
