Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Saturday, May 28, 2022 7:03 PM  Fast Four Word is a clever idea. It's a Wordle-like in which you begin with a four-letter starting word and must enter a new word which changes just a single letter. So if the starting word is AHEM, as it was yesterday, you could change the first letter and enter THEM. From there, you have 44 seconds to chain together as many new words as you can, with plenty of other twists to make it more challenging. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Saturday, May 28, 2022 6:27 PM  I'm always interested in card games that stretch beyond pure combat and are used to convey narrative. That's what Foretales does. It's a card game filled with anthropomorphic animals in medieval garb in which you can sneak and barter before or instead of scrapping. Find the trailer below. |

The Elden Ring Seamless Co-Op mod enables just that: the ability to team up with a friend, ride your weird horses, and go muck up some bosses together. It's out now in early beta. |

Square Enix opened pre-orders for the new My Hero Academia Himiko Toga figure from Taito's Spiritale line. She'll cost $284.99. Pre-orders are open with no end date. However, in Japan the figure can only be pre-ordered for ¥27,500 until July 24, 2022. She'll show up in November 2022 in Japan. The North American release window is March 2023. This figure of Himiko is a 1/7th scale one. That means she's just under eight inches tall around 200mm. She's wearing her blood sucking machine, so she can use her Transform Quirk. There are also a number of knives stuck into the toys and accessories she's sitting on. Here's a closer look at the figure from different angles. And this is the official video showing her from different angles. The Japanese video also showcases a special promotional part for people in Japan. It's essentially a different face that features her smiling without showing her tongue and teeth. The Square Enix store doesn't offer that bonus part. She's the second Spiritale My Hero Academia figure. The first is of Ochaco "Uravity" Uraraka. That is also expected to appear in 2023. Taito last showed off both of them in October 2021. The Spiritale My Hero Academia Himiko Toga figure will debut in Japan in November 2022. She'll appear in North America in March 2023.

During WonHobby G Spring 2022, Good Smile Company unveiled upcoming figures of characters from Fate/Grand Order and related works. They are in various stages of development, which allow for an estimate as to the order they will come out. So far, there is no information on how much they will cost or when to expect them. The first Nendoroid is one of Chloe von Einzbern. Though she does appear in Fate/Grand Order as a playable character, Good Smile Company will release her under the Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya name. The unpainted prototype shows her with a big smile and blushy cheeks, and she is holding one of her swords. The next Nendoroid is one of Cu Chulainn as he appears in Fate/Grand Order. He is holding the Gae Bolg, which will be one of the optional parts that he will come with. Cu Chulainn will look like he does in his first ascension. The final upcoming Nendoroid is that of Oberon, or Pretender. As of the time of writing, Oberon is not in the English version of the game, as he appears in the sixth Lostbelt. There is no prototype for Oberon yet, but it seems that he will look like he does in his second ascension. [gallery ids="928449,928451,928450" link="file"] There will also be two scale figures for Mash and Artoria, who are the heroines of Fate/Grand Order and Fate/stay night respectively. They are both wearing their "under the same sky" 5th anniversary outfits. Mash has a white-and-blue layered dress, with one hand outstretched behind her. Meanwhile, Artoria is wearing a white dress under her blue cape. She is also holding the Excalibur, which she planted into the ground. [gallery columns="2" ids="928453,928452" link="file"] Good Smile Company will release the Fate/Grand Order figures and Nendoroids in the near future.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Saturday, May 28, 2022 6:30 PM  The last couple of years have been expensive times for PC gaming. From graphics cards to DDR5, there have been some major price increases for top-of-the-line products due to a renewed interest among many gamers for new levels of performance. However, most still prefer to buy hardware with some balance of performance and affordability. MSI might soon bring something big to the table in that regard, according to a leak which claims a redesigned MAG B660M Mortar motherboard can overclock any non-K Intel 12th gen CPU. The leak comes from chi11eddog on Twitter, which has a reputation for leaking new MSI products in particular. Their latest post goes into detail about a new addition for the MAG B660M Mortar motherboard called a Renesas clock generator. This module, as noted in the above photo, can apparently force a BCLK overclock on any non-K Intel 12th gen CPU. Intel locks users out of overclocking as a means of product segmentation, so this new feature would be a game changer. The leak al... |
