     GTA Online weekly update brings big biker boosts to GTA 5 multiplayer

Thursdays mean the GTA Online weekly update is here once again, and we have all the key details ahead of the official Rockstar blog post due later for the online multiplayer game. The week of December 1-7 promises big boosts to biker missions, with cheap supplies and boosted payouts on offer. In addition, there's the usual range of free cars in the crime game (we're talking ones you'll actually own, not just in the sense that you can steal them).

     Best LMG Warzone: the best LMGs in Caldera

Looking for the best LMG in Warzone? Warzone LMGs are all too often overlooked when choosing the game's best weapons. It's not hard to see why, either. In general, they take just as long to down enemies as one of the best assault rifles, and they have similar rates of fire and ranged effectiveness, too. However, unlike the game's most popular weapons, LMGs are very heavy and come with some of the worst aim-down-sight speeds, mobility, and 'gun-ready' times in the game.

If you're looking for the best Warzone 2 LMG, don't worry, we've got you covered. Those stats can make clearing out buildings, re-armouring, and switching weapons very difficult, and we've died countless times simply because we were stuck in the gun-ready animation. Thankfully, some of these issues can be fixed with the right attachments, making the best Warzone LMGs surprisingly competitive in the right scenario. You can find attachments below, or jump straight ahead to our best Warzone loadouts to find great premade setups.

     Next Valorant Night Market falls on awkward WWII anniversary

     The best truck games on PC in 2022

Looking for some of the best truck games on PC? Trucks and truckers have become mythologised in pop culture like modern-day cowboys, transporting crucial cargo across harsh, lonely landscapes and spending days in their own company. Translating that experience into a videogame has taken many forms over the last couple of decades, from Mad Max-like highway battlers to fully-fledged simulation games where journeys take as long as they would in real life.

While there are not many truck games - you could mistake it for being a niche genre - there are a lot of truck game fans looking for the right trucking game for them. In an effort to help those people out, we've assembled a handful of great truck games, including the popular truck sims, but also branching out to physics-based puzzlers, platform games, and racing games with trucks.

So whether you're looking to lose yourself on a long trip along the Pacific Northwest, want to spend hours hauling your cargo through a single muddy ditch, or want to take your truck to a chicane-riddled racecourse, we've got a little something for every type of truck gamer.

     The best clicker games and idle games on PC in 2022

What are the best clicker games and idle games in 2022? There are some interesting connotations that come along with clicker games. Also known as 'incremental' or 'idle' games, the name betrays certain expectations: click your mouse, get a tiny reward, and repeat until you can make the process more efficient and lucrative like a lab rat pulling away at levers until it gets a tasty food pellet.

In most cases, there's a snowball effect that accompanies your progress that makes your clicks more productive, hence the "incremental" moniker. There are also many games that operate automatically even when you're not playing, which justifies the "idle" nickname. Clicker games manage to distil high-complexity concepts down into a series of single clicks and automation. It's an interesting concept that is ripe for study, and really makes you think about what makes a game, a game.

One of the best things that the turn-based strategy game has going for it is its cast of Midnight Suns characters, each with their own distinct personality, likes, and dislikes. Seeing these heroes interact with each other in the Abbey makes exploring and chatting during your downtime a worthwhile endeavour, with each new addition to the team expanding your hangout options before Hunter's bedtime. With that, here's how you unlock characters in Marvel's Midnight Suns.

     Genshin Impact events – all current and upcoming events

Want to know more about the upcoming Genshin Impact events? A new version of Genshin Impact arrives every six weeks, complete with new characters, quests, and events. It's difficult to keep track of which events are currently running and if there are any new ones coming soon, so here's a schedule for all current and upcoming Genshin Impact events.

There are usually a number of Genshin Impact events running simultaneously, and they aren't just in-game events. When a new Genshin Impact character joins the game, the devs launch a web event at the same time - players learn about the latest characters through an interactive story told through a web browser. The rewards for completing different events range from in-game items like primogems and mora, to real life prizes like mouse mats and plushies.

Just like the Genshin Impact banners, most events are only available for a limited time, so it's worth participating as soon as you can. New events are usually added to Genshin Impact after an update, but it's worth keeping an eye out on this page as the devs do like to surprise the community.

last cloudia tales of vesperia yuri

Yuri Lowell of Tales of Vesperia will appear as a playable character in Last Cloudia. The members of Brave Vesperia will also appear as an Ark. This is part of Last Cloudia's second collaboration with the Tales of series. The Tales of event in Last Cloudia will run from November 30 until December 15, 2022. [Thanks, Gamer!]

AIDIS first announced this collaboration in mid-November 2022. Kosuke Toriumi will reprise his role as Yuri for his appearance in Last Cloudia. As for the Brave Vesperia Arc, it will grant players extra damage against Human enemies, as well as reduce magical attacks. The reduction will stack depending on how many non-Human allies you still have alive. Finally, when you receive a major attack from an enemy that would kill you, you will stay alive at 1 HP until the attack ends.

While the name of the Ark is Brave Vesperia, the other characters in the picture are Estelle, Rita, Repede, and Duke. The actual other members of Brave Vesperia – Karol and Judith – are not in the card art. In Tales of Vesperia, Brave Vesperia was the name of the guild that Karol formed over the course of the game.

The Last Cloudia and Tales of Vesperia collaboration event will start from November 30 and end on December 15, 2022. Last Cloudia is available on mobile devices.

pokemon christmas wallpapers

The official Japanese Twitter account for Pokemon uploaded two free Christmas wallpapers for everyone to use. These wallpapers are part of the Pokemon Christmas Toy Factory wallpaper campaign. The campaign started on November 23, 2022. One features the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet starters.

The account shared one of the wallpapers because the campaign tweet received over 10,000 Likes. The second one, which features the starters from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, is because the Pokemon Twitter account got over 360,000 followers since the campaign tweet. Both wallpapers are available to download. The terms of use state that the Pokemon Center forbids the use of the art for anything other than personal smartphone wallpapers.

You can check out the two Pokemon Christmas wallpapers here:

https://twitter.com/pokemoncenterPR/status/1597863008302137345

The first wallpaper features Pikachu, Toxel, Stufful, and Dedenne. It appears that all of the Pokemon other than Pikachu are plushes, due to their eyes or the stitching on their bodies. The second one has Sprigatito, Quaxly, and Fuecoco opening up Christmas gifts. Even though Stufful was one of the dolls Pikachu showed off, Quaxly is holding a Kirlia toy instead. Delibird watches in the background.

Aside from Pokemon plushes, you can also get a variety of holiday-themed objects in 2022. There are ugly Christmas sweaters to purchase from the official store. Hallmark released its line-up of video game Christmas ornaments during summer 2022, and there were Pokemon ones depicting Eevee and such.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are available worldwide on the Nintendo Switch.
