As we reported yesterday, Ubisoft is getting right into the business of NFTs, a space that is both an environmental catastrophe and an enormous pump-and-dump scam. And because that's a shitty space to be in, people have been quick to let the company know their feelings.

     Minecraft player spends 13 days building a giant Oreo

It's the evening before the late night of The Game Awards, so I'm hitting y'all with the game journalism special: something fun I saw on Reddit. There are plenty of cool Minecraft builds out there, but few so spectacularly devoted to unnecessary challenges as this giant Oreo. It was built out of concrete. In survival mode.

Yes, streamer NomALlama spent 13 days gathering materials and building this ridiculous monument to branded sweets with all the constraints of a survival run. The closest thing to a 'cheat' would be a few material donations from other players on the server. In the end, it's constructed of 46,727 blocks of concrete.

And yeah, a survival mode build means that the entire thing is filled with candles on the inside, to keep mobs from spawning. As NomALlama explains on Reddit, "my next plan for Oreo builds is none because I'm never doing that to myself again". Noble words. Take care of yourself.

     Chrismoth time has arrived in Fallout 76

The holiday season has arrived in irradiated Appalachia, and that means it's time for Fallout 76's Mothman Equinox event. Now through December 21, the post-nuclear MMORPG will host a new seasonal event every hour in Point Pleasant, where a group of robed oddballs are summoning the Wise Mothman.

The Mothman Equinox event, as mentioned, is taking place in Point Pleasant, in the forest region. You'll start out by speaking with Interpreter Clarence, who's stationed on the roof of the Mothman Museum. By lighting ritual bonfires and fighting off rival mothman cultists (who worship a false and strange mothman rather than the one true Wise Mothman), you'll be able to earn the benevolent cryptid's favour - which, in turn, is a chance at some sweet loot.

Cultist high priests are wandering all over Appalachia, though, and you can hunt them down to earn new Mothman Cult gear. The patch notes, however, warn that you'll want to keep an eye out for the cult's shadow creatures. Sounds like you'll want to bring along some extra ammo and Rad-Away.

     Halo Infinite hidden skull locations effectsHidden Skulls have been a part of Halo since their introduction in Halo 2. These special collectibles are, well, hidden throughout the game's campaign, and alter the game in a unique manner. There are 12 hidden Skulls in Halo Infinite, and we're working on discovering their locations and cataloguing their effects.   The hidden Skulls can only be activated before loading up your game. If you have a save file already, head back to the menu and choose "Load Game." There, you will see the option to use one of the skulls. Here's our guide to show you how to find each one, and explain what they do. Note: You can better locate Skulls using your scan. When you're near one, there will be an audible cue. Also, some Skulls are available in missions that cannot be replayed until 343 Industries releases an update. Finally, you can activate more than one Skull at a time, making for some interesting synergy. Halo Infinite hidden skulls — Locations and...

     Halo Infinite open-world red eyeAfter years of waiting and hype, the latest game in the renowned Halo series, Halo Infinite, finally launched today. Longtime fans will no doubt want to experience everything that the finished product has to offer, including the semi-open-world structure in its single-player campaign, a first for the series. Interestingly, though, the campaign that players will experience does not represent developer 343 Industries' original vision for the mode. In fact, a recent Bloomberg article detailing the development woes of Halo Infinite reveals that 343 Industries wanted the campaign to feature a sprawling open world akin to the likes of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. According to the article, the initial planning phases saw the developers juggling different ideas for the main campaign before finally settling for an open-world structure. Before this latest release, the series' campaigns had players progressing through a linear set of levels. But the developer wanted thi...

     arataki itto genshin impactOh, Itto. You received a brand new teaser trailer, hyping players up to about your appearance set to arrive next week. You expect crowds of Primogem hoarding, ravenous crowds to beckon you to their parties. Unfortunately for Arataki Itto, however, he was arguably usurped in popularity with another faceless figure. While the teaser trailer was meant to hype up Itto, most fans paid attention to the end, where an unreleased character was vocalized for the first time: Kamisato Ayato. Ayato is the brother of Kamisato Ayaka, both members of the Kamisato Clan and important figures in Inazuma. Ever since Ayaka's appearance in Genshin Impact, many fans have anticipated the arrival of her brother, Ayato. And he made his first appearance, which made fans go wild…well, sorta. At the end of the teaser trailer for Arataki Itto in Genshin Impact, an unseen voice makes comments about Itto, and fans have pointed out how it was likely Ayato's voice.   No one pays attention to m...
