     How to kill the enemy in the porta-potty in Modern Warfare 2

Knowing how to kill the enemy in the porta-potty in Modern Warfare 2 for the A Crappy Way To Die achievement tasks you with killing someone while they're having a private moment in the FPS game. Doing so will net you an achievement and bring you one step closer to that campaign reward.

Finding the enemy is the easy part, and the shot itself isn't difficult. The main issue arises with your teammate's itchy trigger fingers; you have to be quick on the draw so you get the toilet-kill before your squad. Here's how to kill the enemy in the porta-potty in Modern Warfare 2 and unlock A Crappy Way to Die.

     Modern Warfare 2 El Sin Nombre walkthrough

Trying to beat all of the challenges in the Modern Warfare 2 El Sin Nombre mission? This is one of a handful of stealth sandbox levels in the game and it can be pretty daunting if you're used to running and gunning your way through most Call of Duty campaigns. Still, even if you've ticked this mission off, there are a few secrets and challenges to complete on El Sin Nombre away from the main objective.

For starters, there's an interrogation sequence to survive, and then you have to infiltrate El Sin Nombre's penthouse, either by sneaking in through the elevator shaft or stealing Diego's keycard. If you can avoid killing anyone or triggering an alarm then you'll complete the Ghost-in-Training achievement, and there's even a safe code to find on this mission, which you can use to bolster your arsenal ahead of the showdown with El Sin Nombre.

     IRL Valorant Raze boombot is the best thing you'll see today

Valorant agents are equipped with cut-throat, deadly abilities, and then there's Raze. The agent carries a criminally cute boombot with an 'uWu' smiley face stamped on the LED. However, don't let the cuteness fool you; the boombot blows up as soon as it detects motion. Still, players can't seem to resist it. For example, this fan of the FPS game brought the deadly machine to real life and named it 'Boomie."

     When is the Gotham Knights release time?

It's not long now until the Gotham Knights release time. The Steam page for the latest DC superhero game now has one of those fancy countdown timers until it unlocks. You, and perhaps a friend, will soon be able to play as one of four heroes who inherit the responsibility to protect the citizens from criminal gangs and supervillains hellbent on taking over Gotham City.

Remember that while the Gotham Knights release time draws near, you can get ahead by pre-loading the game right now if you have pre-ordered it. It's a reasonably chunky game at 41.3GB, so depending on your connection, it may take some time to download. If you're still trying to decide if the open world game is for you, you may wish to read our Gotham Knights review, and if you were hoping to play it with friends, you definitely need to check out our Gotham Knights crossplay guide for more information.

     GTA podium car: here's what vehicle you can win in GTA Online

What is the GTA podium car this week? GTA Online vehicles are expensive things, so we're happy to take a spin on the Diamond Casino's Lucky Wheel to get a discount. Winning isn't guaranteed, sure, but it isn't out of the question either. Look, we don't have a problem - leave it alone.

Finding out what the GTA Online podium car is simple enough - it's winning it that's the challenge. You can spin the Diamond Casino's Lucky Wheel once a day, and each Podium Car refreshes after seven days on a Thursday. Basically, you have seven shots to get the vehicle of that given week. If you own a Penthouse, you can spin it for free, but if you don't it's $500 a spin. Don't fret if you don't win, as you can try for something else.

You have a one in 20 chance of getting the podium vehicle, a car discount, or a mystery prize. There's a four in 20 chance of getting clothes, chips, and cash. Finally, there's a five in 20 chance of getting RP. On that note, here's everything you need to know about this week's GTA podium car.

     Best VR headset in 2022

The best VR headset could take your gaming PC setup to the next level, especially if you're looking to play games like Half-Life: Alyx, Beat Saber, and Resident Evil 4. Sure, today's virtual reality tech is more Lawnmower Man than Ready Player One, but concepts like the metaverse and augmented reality (AR) are all seemingly a part of what's to come.

Choosing the best VR headset seems simple on the surface, but there are industry changes in motion that could complicate venturing into virtual reality. For starters, Meta (formerly known as Facebook) has ditched its iconic Oculus branding in favour of a new Meta Quest label. While this means the Oculus Quest 3 will likely arrive with a different moniker, metaverse devices like the Meta Quest Pro are now a priority for the social media giant.

Of course, Meta isn't the only player within the VR space, as HTC, Valve, and Quest rivals like the Pico 4 are also in the running. Each headset contributes to immersive gaming in its own way, so it's important to consider the specs, price, and drawbacks of each device. To help you get on your virtual feet, we've tested a bunch of PC VR headsets in an attempt to make the murky waters of the metaverse a little clearer.

There's a particular battle in the first chapter of Tactics Ogre: Reborn that I've been banging my head against all week. It's an uphill fort siege where you're facing off against an evil necromancer who's shooting down powerful, magical fireballs at you from above, alongside his never-ending army of undead skelly archers. The challenging terrain alone would be a test of anyone's mettle in this tough, turn-based strategy game, especially when trying to parse all the different heights of its grid-based map. But having every enemy unit resurrect themselves after three turns unless you exorcise them with a single-use item or the lone Priest you've just recruited (who you may or may not have neglected to bring into battle with you) on top of all that? That smacks of the kind of late-game tomfoolery that more modern games of this ilk would normally save until their final acts.

Tactics Ogre: Reborn, on the other hand, likes to make its players sweat early. It was, after all, forged in the fires of the mid-90s SNES era, and looking back at old GameFAQ guides from 2010 (when it was remade for the PSP), it's clear this fight was just as much of a roadblock back in the day as it is now. Think of it as what yer lad Genichiro was to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - a hard, and often gruelling endurance test of everything you'd learned so far, but one that would ultimately set you up for the rest of the game upon claiming victory. I'm still not quite there yet, but having spent six hours noodling around the rest of Reborn's opening chapter, this granddaddy of Japanese strategy RPGs sure does hold up in the cold light of 2022.

raiden iii mikado maniax

MOSS has announced that Raiden III x Mikado Maniax will debut in Japan on February 23, 2023. This is an enhanced version of the original Raiden III, which came out in 2005 for arcades and consoles. There will be some new game modes, online features, and customization options. [Thanks, Gematsu!]

While the game will cost 3,800 JPY, there is a limited edition for 7,200 JPY as well. The limited edition will include a diorama papercraft and a two-disc soundtrack CD. It will come in a special box. Raiden III is a scrolling shooter video game. There is not much of a story, since the focus is the gameplay. Essentially, Crystals invaded Earth and you must stop them to save the planet.

This version of the game has 20 new background tracks, which Game Center Mikado produced. Artists who contributed include GoSatoBan, Heavy Metal Raiden, Fantom Iris, O.T.K., Soshi Hosoi, Keishi Yonao, and more. There is a lot of customization so that you can play each stage to your unique aesthetic; aside from choosing the background music, you can also change the wallpaper.

There are also different game mods such as Score Attack Mode and Boss Rush Mode. As well, you can upload replays to easily share your matches. For the more competitive, there will also be online rankings.

Raiden III x Mikado Maniax will come out in Japan on February 23, 2023 for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. There will be physical editions for the PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch only. A related game, Raiden IV x Mikado Remix, is due for international release in 2023.
