     Doom runs on a tractor now and for a good cause

You can play Doom, id Software's renowned horror game, on almost everything, and now thanks to the efforts of industrious modders-slash-hackers, that includes playing Doom on a tractor. Sick Codes and Skelegant, the hackers in question, performed the jailbreak during DefCon 2022 (first spotted by Wired), a convention dedicated to hacking and the people who do it. But the cheeky act of putting the FPS game on a tractor was more than just a bit of fun or a chance to shoot some demons while you're out on the farm. Sick Codes wanted to show how easy it was to bypass John Deere tractor computers, exposing several flaws in the manufacturer's ongoing arguments against letting farmer repair their own equipment.

     Lost Ark Striker balance changes coming soon

Lost Ark Striker balance changes are officially in the works for the MMO game, Amazon Games' community manager confirmed in the Lost Ark forums. They weren't able to provide a specific timeframe for the next balance patch, but at the very least, it's confirmation that a consistent issue will get fixed. The news comes after several months of requests for tweaks made specifically to the class' Lightning Tiger Strike. Players have been experiencing a few troublesome issues with the skill for several months, issues that tend to throw a wrench into skill chains and planning at best. At worst, it puts them in the path of a devastating boss attack or three.

Open up this metal box, put a graphics card inside, and suddenly any PC or laptop you connect to it via Thunderbolt gets a substantial upgrade in gaming prowess. These docks used to cost around £200 or £300, but recently we've started to see radically more affordable options - and today we've reached a new low-water mark.

Neco-Arc in Melty Blood Type Lumina

The Melty Blood: Type Lumina Summer 2022 update will arrive soon, and it will bring in Neco-Arc. Type-Moon and French Bread have published a new press release with gameplay details for the chibi character, who will make her return from Melty Blood: Actress Again Current Code. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]

In Type Lumina, Neco-Arc will become a tricky character with several random attacks. Her summoning moves like Neco-Packet 2022 and Abaddon Force will have multiple versions that trigger randomly on every usage. Many of her attacks will have a short range. Some of her moves will also take reference from older series titles.

Players striving to main her will have to rely on both skill and luck. They can distract the opponent with the summons and then get up close to launch Neco-Arc's own attacks.

Type-Moon also uploaded new Melty Blood gameplay videos featuring Neco-Arc on its YouTube channel. The videos pit her against Miyako Arima, one of the game's default playable characters. The English subtitled versions of the videos are available to watch right below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HXBaXHVlwo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSgrNrpDtMc

Melty Blood: Type Lumina is available worldwide on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC. Neco-Arc will join the fighting game's roster together with Fate/Grand Order's Mash Kyrielight through a free update patch coming on August 19, 2022.

Kikuko Inoue autobiography will come with cosplay photos

Japanese voice actress Kikuko Inoue will publish her first autobiography. It will be titled Inoue Kikuko 17-sai desu "Oioi!" which can be translated to I am Kikuko Inoue, 17 years old "Hey hey!" The book will be available at 1,980 yen (~$14.5) in late September 2022 in Japan.

In addition to the book's cover, the new blog post also revealed several bonus cosplay photos that will be available by purchasing at specific stores. Animate will include Inoue's cosplay photo as a schoolgirl, Rakuten with a ring girl attire, and 7Net will have a maid costume.

[gallery columns="4" ids="933876,933875,933874,933873" link="file"]

Kikuko Inoue is best known for her claim to be eternally 17 years old, even though she is already married and has children. Her eldest daughter, Honoka Inoue, has since grown into adulthood and pursues the same voice acting career as her mother.

One of the segments in the autobiography will feature a dialogue between Honoka and Kikuko Inoue. The book will also include comments from other voice actresses like Noriko Hidaka, Atsuko Tanaka, Rica Matsumoto, Aya Hisakawa, Nana Mizuki, Mai Nakahara, Rie Tanaka, and Maria Yamamoto.

Kikuko Inoue began her voice acting career in 1988. She began to rise in prominence after voicing Kasumi Tendo in the 1989 anime show Ranma 1/2 and Belldandy in the 1993 OVA Ah! My Goddess. More recently, Inoue has provided voices for Carta Issue in Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans and Archbishop Rhea in Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

Inoue is not the only voice actress to publish her own book. In early 2021, Megumi Hayashibara released a book where she described her voiced characters. This book is also available in English. It is yet to be known whether Kikuko Inoue's book will also receive an official translation.

Kikuko Inoue's autobiography, Inoue Kikuko 17-sai desu "Oioi!" will be available on September 24, 2022.

     New Tales From The Borderlands 2 Release Date October 21 Leak Amazon ListingA recent listing has hinted at when fans can expect the next Tales from the Borderlands game. As spotted by Twitter user Wario64, New Tales from the Borderlands looks to have been given an October release date. More specifically, the listing claims that the sequel will arrive on October 21. The listing was for an entry called New Tales From the Borderlands. It's unclear if this is a working title or the final name but either way, it makes sense. Speaking of making sense, this leak seems reliable enough. We've seen listings like this in the past come true many times before, plus the given release date sounds about right too.   It was first announced that a Tales From the Borderlands sequel was in the works back in April. In that very announcement, publisher 2K Games confirmed that it would arrive at some point this year. As we approach the closing quarter of 2022, it only seems natural that an announcement would be coming soon. This isn't quite an official announc...

     Death Stranding Game Pass FragileConsidering the unconventional nature of Death Stranding's core gameplay, some gamers may not want to fork over $39.99 USD for the Director's Cut on Steam. Fortunately, it looks like players will soon get to try Death Stranding out for significantly cheaper, as the official PC Game Pass Twitter account seemed to subtly suggest that the game will eventually come to Microsoft's ever-popular service. Just yesterday, Twitter users noted that the PC Game Pass account changed its profile picture to depict a vast, green landscape, coinciding with a vague tweet stating, "sometimes we just like a good landscape picture." It didn't take long for fans to notice that this landscape image lines up exactly with an area from Death Stranding. The possibility of Death Stranding joining Game Pass seems a bit odd, as Sony currently owns the rights to the IP. However, PlayStation's San Diego Studio did bring MLB The Show 22 over to the service back in April, ...

     Ship Of Fools Release DateQuebec-based developer Fika Productions has revealed a release date and new trailer for its latest seafaring rogue-lite, Ship of Fools. The game will offer a fresh spin on the rogue-lite genre by taking you to the sea when it launches on November 22. You (and potentially your friends, as this game supports online and splitscreen co-op) embark on a journey across the seas, where you man your ship's cannons to fight off a variety of pesky sea monsters. Ship-based combat often goes one of two ways: very good or very bad. Which way Ship of Fools goes remains to be seen, but the release date trailer certainly goes a long way towards making it look like a delightful co-op experience. It almost seems like a cross between Overcooked and Skull and Bones (maybe with a dash of Castle Crashers).   But wait, there's more An aspect of the game I'm quite intrigued by is the map. A hex-based affair, it seems like it will play quite a role in both the strategy and replayability in the game....

     Doomsayer Skin Plagiarism By Activision Deadrop Nft Fps GameActivision is yet again being accused of stealing content. A couple of days ago, the Call of Duty publisher released the new Doomsayer skin into Vanguard and Warzone. However, some have accused Activision of plagiarizing the skin, noting its similarities to the work of a former employee, Robert Bowling. Bowling was not impressed by the new skin reveal. He posted a Tweet that reads: "At least name it after me," showing his clear disapproval. Bowling previously worked as both Infinity Ward's creative strategist and community manager. He is currently working on Deadrop alongside former Sledgehammer Games community manager Guy "Dr. Disrespect" Beahm.   Very quickly, people began to post about the similarities between the new Doomsayer skin and Variant Four Zero Two from Deadrop. The Deadrop character was first shown in an announcement tweet back in July, well over a month before the Call of Duty skin released. Activision has yet to comment on the accusati...

     Ghostbusters Spirits UnleashedWhen the asymmetrical multiplayer game Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed was revealed back in March, we only knew it would have a release date within the last few months of 2022. The next game by the Predator: Hunting Grounds team, Spirits Unleashed will be, well, unleashed at the perfect time. The game is busting out this October, mere weeks from Halloween. There really is no better month for a spooky game. Granted, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed isn't your typical horror adventure. Instead, you and three other Ghostbusters team up to take on a single player ghost. It's reminiscent of a lot of asymmetrical multiplayer games, in which the enemy usually has plenty of tricks to stay alive (ironically) for as long as possible. If the enemy is defeated, or trapped in this case, the four-player team wins. But if you're a ghost, staying out of harm's way for long enough will let you haunt for another day.   It seems lopsided at first, but not entirely. The '...
