     Rainbow Six Siege Vector Glare release date set for early June

The Rainbow Six Siege Vector Glare release date is just around the corner, and with it, players can expect a new operator from Belgium, a dedicated team deathmatch map, a shooting range, and plenty of additional quality of life changes coming to the multiplayer game.

The new operator is called Sens. He's an attacker with a gadget that will help the team push into the site and make some audacious executes. His R.O.U. Projector System gadget is a throwable wheel that creates a wall of light along its path. This wall of light can't be seen through normally, but certain gadgets - like Warden's Smart Glasses and bulletproof cams - will allow full visibility for whoever's using them. It's basically a much more precise alternative to throwing out smoke grenades, and will probably become a powerful tool for teams willing to take big risks to get the objective planted.

This launch is unique among recent seasons in that the new operator, Sens, is going to be available in competitive play right from day one, so expect to see some pro clips of Sens shortly after the Vector Glare release date.

     Pickle Rick and Morty leaks for MultiVersus fighting game

While the fighting game's alpha is still going on, a number of possible new MultiVersus leaks datamined from the game's files seem to point towards Rick and Morty, Black Adam, and even LeBron James for the fighter roster - including the infamous Pickle Rick.

MultiVersus could be one of the best games like Smash Bros on PC when it hits open beta in July, and many are enjoying the alpha playtest going on right now. Some players have dug around in the alpha's files and have datamined a number of possible new characters coming to the MultiVersus fighter roster (via Reddit).

Names on the list include both Rick and Morty, Gandalf, LeBron James, Marvin the Martian, and Gremlins' Gizmo and Stripe as the character leaks, with the likes of Godzilla, Scooby-Doo, Legolas, Black Adam, Beetlejuice, and The Joker appearing in the leaked taunts list. Some of these have been leaked in some fashion before - including the inclusion of Pickle Rick as an unlockable skin for Rick Sanchez.

Azur Lane HMS Vanguard

HMS Vanguard, the Royal Navy's last battleship, will be the star of the next major Azur Lane event. She will have the highest Ultra Rare grade, and Commanders will be able to find her in the event's limited construction pool. Manjuu and Yongshi revealed the new shipgirl at a live stream marking the Azur Lane Chinese 5th anniversary on Bilibili.

The upcoming Azur Lane event will primarily add five new shipgirls, including HMS Vanguard. All of them will be based on historical British Royal Navy warships.

  1. HMS Vanguard, the last battleship built for the Royal Navy in history.
  2. HMS Indomitable, a modified Illustrious-class aircraft carrier.
  3. HMS Jervis, one of the two J-class destroyers that survived World War II, together with HMS Javelin.
  4. HMS Revenge, a super-dreadnought battleship that saw action in both World Wars.
  5. HMS Bellona, a modified Dido-class light cruiser that also served as a basis for her own sub-class.

The stream also revealed that HMS Unicorn will receive a new retrofit that raises her grade from Elite to Super Rare. A Little version of HMS Cheshire will also be obtainable through a separate event running concurrently with the above major event.

In addition, Manjuu and Yongshi announced two new META shipgirls coming soon to Azur Lane. Memphis META will be the new Seasonal Mission reward for June-July 2022. Repulse META will replace Scharnhorst META, whose Showdown season period ends on June 1, 2022.

[gallery columns="4" link="file" ids="927718,927720,927721,927722"]

Azur Lane is available worldwide on Android and iOS mobile devices. The new Royal Navy event will run from May 26, 2022 to June 16, 2022.

megatron bishoujo figure transformers header

Kotobukiya showed off an unpainted prototype of its Transformers Bishoujo Megatron figure. The site also includes comments from the product planner, answering questions on creative choices for the Megatron statue. It will ship in 2023, though Kotobukiya doesn't note exactly when to expect it.

https://twitter.com/kotobukiyas/status/1528194957554913286

Megatron has her hair in a bob, and she is wearing her jacket over her shoulders like a cape. She holds the Fusion Cannon in her right hand. According to the product planner, her design is meant to complement the Optimus Prime Bishoujo figure. She has white hair, and her clothing appears to be a mix of lilac gray, black, and red.

[gallery ids="927704,927703,927702" link="file"]

Kotobukiya initially showed off the Bishoujo Megatron figure in February 2022. At the time, Megatron was only concept art, while there was an unpainted prototype for the Optimus Prime figure. These two are the "first generation" of Transformers Bishoujo figures, implying there may be more to come in the future.

megatron bishoujo figure transformers

Aside from the Megatron figure, Kotobukiya shared quite a number of ongoing and future figures. These included unpainted prototypes similar to the Transformers Bishoujo Megatron figure, as well as concept art. Announcements included an unpainted prototype of a Subaru figure from Hololive. There was also concept art of figures for the Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 protagonists, as well as DC Comics' Batgirl.

The Transformers Bishoujo Megatron figure will be available in 2023.

Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie Shows Off All Sides of Micchon 1

When it comes to animes, sometimes a show can focus on a specific character. Entire storylines can be dedicated to them being a certain "type" of person. They're designed to make you fall in love with them. Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie is exactly that for its heroine, Micchon Shikimori. But what makes this particular show so good is that she isn't a one dimensional character. She isn't just the cute, sweet, perfect girlfriend. Right from the first episode, it shows her different sides. Yes, she's cute. But she's also cool, can get jealous, and has her flaws.

Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie begins with Micchon and Yu Izumi already as a couple. He's an average guy who is both klutzy and unlucky. She's essentially above average. The two are secure in their established relationship. This isn't a "will they or won't they" situation. The two are stable couple. They are considerate of each other. We also see how they make each other better. But Yu is always mentioning how great she is, as are people around her.

This means the focus can be on seeing how Micchon behaves in situations and what makes her so deserving of attention and affection. Her character design is adorable. She has fashionable pink hair. Her eyes are detailed and expressive. She's often blushing. So at a glance, she's definitely adorable. It doesn't matter if she is in "cool" or "cute" mode.

Micchon's default "look" is cute, as Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie suggests. She often can get flustered by situations with Yu, due to her love for him. When she hears Yu doesn't think she does much for him, she is quick to explain how important he is. When he tells her that he loves her, she's completely flabbergasted and flustered. During a sports tournament, when she can't be around to protect him, she "sends" him energy in the hopes he won't get hurt. Then, instead of playing her own game, stays by his side in the nurse's office to comfort him.

But honestly, it can seem sometimes like there are more "cool" moments than "cute" ones. When a car comes barreling toward the two of them as they walk to school, Micchon pushes him toward the wall and gets between him and the vehicle. After classmates criticize Yu and put him down, she steps in to pull him away, gives them a glare to shut them up, and reassures Yu of his value. When they go bowling, through Yu's support she manages to bowl a perfect game. She's constantly doing things like anticipating "attacks," showing how athletic or intelligent she is, or displaying examples of consideration and kindness.

However, equally important is that we see Micchon's flaws in every episode, which helps keep Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie grounded. Yes, she's admirable and someone we can look to as a "hero." But she also won't wear her glasses outside of class, can be jealous, gets flustered easily when Yu is kind to her, and will show no mercy if people she cares about are mistreated. She'll tease him about sharing a bed with him, then afterwards agonize about doing so when she's alone because "she came on too strong." She can also agonize about the "right" look for herself to make Yu like her. So she might wonder if she should overachieve or be incompetent when bowling or go through her whole closet when planning an outfit for a date.

I suppose a good way to describe the Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie anime is as an extended character study of Micchon. There are a lot of moments with every member of the cast. But we're really seeing everything Micchon is available. It is showing all facets of her personality. As a result, even though the series is about how amazing she is, it still can feel realistic and she doesn't seem completely idealized.

Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie is streaming on Crunchyroll in Japanese with subtitles and with an English dub. Kodansha is releasing the manga in English.

needy streamer overload switch

KAngel's moving on... to a new platform, with Needy Streamer Overload on the Nintendo Switch. The game's Switch port is slated for an October 27, 2022 release. It will cost 4378 JPY ($34.23) for the physical copy, and 2640 JPY ($20.65) for the digital one. As well, the physical version of the game will come with a first edition bonus of an art book and a soundtrack. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]

https://youtu.be/NAJzzWkxjKA?t=12146
 
When the Nintendo Switch version of Needy Streamer Overload launches, the existing Steam version will also get an update. This update, which is already in the Switch version, will have new stickers to use in JINE, as well as new annoying replies on the in-game Twitter equivalent. In addition, there will be new endings on top of the game's existing 24.

Needy Streamer Overload is a visual novel in which you play as P-Chan, who is Ame's partner and producer. Ame's goal is to get a million subscribers in 31 days, and you are the one to help her do that. You can tell Ame what to do every day, as well as what content to stream. The game does deal with heavy themes such as mental illness and self harm. As of March 2022, the Steam version of the game reached over 300,000 sales. During the Indie Live Expo, it was revealed that this number is now up to 400,000.

Needy Streamer Overload will release on the Nintendo Switch in Japan on October 27, 2022. The English release information isn't yet known. The Steam version is available now.

     Genshin impact 2.7 releaseGenshin Impact Version 2.7's delay is now a thing of the past, and HoYoverse is spiraling onwards with the new version. News that Version 2.7 would drop on May 31 came about last week and, soon after, a livestream showcased much of the new content coming to the game, including new characters Yelan and Kuki Shinobu. Currently, Version 2.6 is only running one event and has no new content. So, the fact that we're getting something new is a necessary change of pace. Lore fiends in particular will enjoy the next version of Genshin Impact, which sees the return of Lumine (or Aether, depending on who you picked). Popular characters like Xiao, Arataki Itto, and Yanfei are also intersecting in a unique pairing, which should serve to bring some comical interactions. But all eyes will be on the new playable characters of Genshin Impact, Yelan and Kuki Shinobu.   Return of the twins The next version of Genshin Impact will also include some new events.

     Someone maxed Diablo 2 Resurrected Ladder Season 1 on Hardcore

Less than a month after going live in the RPG game, a player has hit max level 99 on Diablo II: Resurrected Ladder Season 1 on Hardcore difficulty - the permadeath mode. This is just two weeks after a player became the world's first to reach max level in the competitive multiplayer's standard difficulty - after a week of grinding.

Last month's Diablo II: Resurrected 2.4 update finally introduced a ranked Ladder system for competitive multiplayer, and since then, players have been pushing to be the first to hit maximum level 99 on the leaderboard. Teo1904 did it on standard difficulty earlier this month, and now it looks like player EazyE has done it on Hardcore permadeath difficulty.

While there sadly isn't a stream of EazyE - otherwise known as EazyDuzIT_LIFTY - hitting level 99, you can check out portions of the adventure on Twitch. At the very least, the leaderboard confirms that EazyE is the first player to reach this milestone on Hardcore.

     Elden Ring nearly had Dark Souls weapon, armour degradation

According to a datamine, there was nearly an Elden Ring weapon and armour degradation system similar to durability in the Dark Souls series - and it may have been removed quite late in development, as the open-world game seems to have several hints towards it.

The Dark Souls games have a system called durability which allows weapons and armour to become gradually more ineffective and eventually broken completely over time. Elden Ring launched without such a system, which is probably for the best, given that Dark Souls 2 durability was tied to fps on PC and so was completely messed up.

However, according to Soulslike game dataminer JesterPatches on Twitter, Elden Ring once seemed to have a durability system of some type. After digging through the fantasy game's files, they found references to weapons and armour being "broken" or "at risk" - presumably pop-up alert messages for when it happened, judging by the other things on the list.

     This Lost Ark cursor bug can break the new legion raid

Players report that a frustrating new Lost Ark cursor bug is affecting the MMO game and can be game-breaking, particularly when undertaking the new legion raid that got added to the fantasy game as part of the May update.

As reported by aggravated players this week on the Lost Ark bug forums and on Reddit, this new bug - which doesn't seem to have been present previously, so most likely arrived in the recent May update - basically causes items such as health potions to get stuck to the mouse pointer. This isn't just a cosmetic problem, unfortunately, as it stops playing from clicking on anything too.

Players suggest the primary bug fix for this problem is either to reload or move to a new area, such as by teleporting - unfortunately, this doesn't help anyone taking on the Valtan boss in the May update's big new Lost Ark legion raid. If the bug hits, players are stuck in the battle with no way to escape or help fight Valtan. This is the way friendships are lost.

The new Vampire Survivors patch 0.6.0 notes are here, with all the details on the update for the roguelike game due tomorrow - well, most of them anyway. The notes confirm new Vampire Survivors power-ups and a bonus stage, and the teaser reveals a clock weapon, an in-game merchant... and something weird about to invade.

The 0.6.0 update for the vampire game is due to release Monday, May 23, and the patch notes are now available on the Vampire Survivors Discord. As any fans will have realised by now, the patch notes are deliberately dry and non-specific, so "1 new weapon" could turn out to be swarms of angry cats.

Developer Poncle confirms an additional stage, two new Arcana abilities, another rank to the 'Skip' power-up, and "1 relic to access 2 minor gameplay mechanics". There's a lot unsaid here, despite Poncle suggesting the patch will have "less content than usual" as they prepare for the bigger update 0.7. They also say one of the new mechanics is for people "who simply enjoy playing the game even when there's nothing left to unlock".

animal crossing new horizons encyclopedia

Kodansha will release an encyclopedia teaching children about the real-life animals that appear in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. This is a part of the Kodansha's Moving Encyclopedia 'MOVE' series of books. It combines pictures in the book with videos in a DVD to introduce and explain its topics. [Thanks, Dengeki Online!]

The Animal Crossing: New Horizons encyclopedia will introduce all 235 species of insects, sea creatures, fish, and fossils that appear in the game. Like other MOVE encyclopedias, the New Horizons book will come with a DVD, as well as a poster of the animal life on the island. Blathers and the Villager will pop up throughout the book to give more details as well. Not only does the encyclopedia explain the non-fiction aspect of these species, it will also give information on where and when you can find them in-game.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is Japan's best-selling video game, even surpassing the NES version of Super Mario Bros. Aside from the game itself, there is plenty of physical merchandise for fans to collect and own. There are toys of the villagers, for example, as well as comics that are set in the New Horizons continuity.

The Animal Crossing: New Horizons encyclopedia from Kodansha will come out on July 29, 2022. It will only be available in Japanese. The book will cost 2,530 JPY, which is approximately $19.80.

fate/grand order vegas

The English version of Fate/Grand Order will re-run the Las Vegas Championship Match - Seven Duels of Swordbeauties event from May 23 to June 12, 2022. Those who did obtain the Saber version of Katsushika Hokusai when this event first launched will have a second chance this year. For those who did, you will get Rare Prisms every time you receive a new copy.

The basic premise of the Fate/Grand Order Las Vegas event is that Hokusai wants to challenge various Swordbeauties in Las Vegas. Her goal is to be the strongest of them all. Unfortunately, this version of Hokusai is younger than her usual self. This means that she does not quite have the skill or experience to back up her boasts. For those who played the story last year, each farming quest still offers plenty of prizes such as QP and ascension materials. This may provide an incentive for some to play through it again.

While the swimsuit versions of female Servants are available for a limited time in the gacha as separate units, the males' swimsuits are Spiritron Dresses you can unlock. You can obtain outfits for Siegfried, Merlin, and Kotarou during this event. As well, while the event is going on, you can pull for the swimsuit versions of Osakabehime, Musashi, Carmilla, Okita, Meltlilith, and Artoria.

Fate/Grand Order is available on mobile devices. The Las Vegas event will re-run on the English server only. It will last from May 23 to June 12, 2022.

     The best Dragon games on PC 2022

Looking for a list of the best dragon games on PC? Since long before the days of Dungeons and Dragons PC games, and before Tolkein became the poster boy of fantasy, dragons have been the most fearsome and majestic creatures of myth. Usually they breath fire and hoard gold, other times they become companions and deign to be ridden, and more often than not they get mistaken for wyverns.

PC games, and the best RPGs in particular, are naturally swarming with dragons and dragon-like creatures both as friends and foes. We do love an epic showdown and nothing can deliver quite like a skyscraper-sized, fire-breathing lizard.

We've collected some of the best dragon games on PC where you can encounter, battle, or befriend a dragon. Plenty of the best selections are from multiplayer games or MMORPGs. Given that dragons can't often be taken down by a single adventurer (looking at you, Dragonborn) it makes sense that plenty of games that look to tackle dragons do so at the epic proportions of hundreds of players joining together to defeat them. Here are the top dragon games you'll want to try if you need a whole lot more in your life.

     The best V Rising base locations

Want to know where the best V Rising base locations are? You could just build your maleficent manor in Farbane Woods and leave it at that, but since you're going to be spending a lot of time gathering materials in this vampire-themed crafting game - and there aren't many rare resources in the starting area - you'd be better off picking a better location to ensure you're not too far from your base when daylight interrupts your feasting and foraging.

The best V Rising base locations are near to valuable materials, so keep an eye out for bandit camps so you can command your V Rising servants to raid them for loot. Keep in mind that if you're playing on a V Rising server with other people, picking the best V Rising base locations is much trickier than in a private game. Everyone is trying to grab some sweet real estate, so constructing your castle requires a bit of extra thought.

To help you find the best V Rising base locations, we've found three areas where we recommend you move your castle. We also have some tips to ensure you secure the best plot of land if you're playing on a server with lots of other players.

Yesterday was World Bee Day, a fact I know because I had to send my son to school in a yellow outfit by way of celebration. Another way to celebrate yesterday was, apparently, to release a videogame. Apico, a beepkeeping sim about adventuring across a 2D world to collect, breed and conserve bees, is out now.

prince of tennis game

A new visual novel Prince of Tennis game will come out on the Nintendo Switch sometime in Fall 2022. The official title for it is The New Prince of Tennis Let's Go!! ~Daily Life~ from Rising Beat. As the name implies, it will follow the continuum in The Prince of Tennis, which takes place after the original series. [Thanks, ryokutya2089!]

According to the trailer, the new The Prince of Tennis game will follow the group of tennis boys competing in the Sportsman Hunting Deluxe. Though the name may seem extreme, it is essentially a team-based tennis competition. There will be "pair" endings between the different characters, though it is unclear just how many there will be in total.

The story of the game will change depending on your dialogue options. In total, there will be 62 characters from the series who will appear in this game, and it will follow an original story. The story will also be fully voiced. This is a spin-off of sorts of The New Prince of Tennis Rising Beat, which is available on mobile devices. Rising Beat has you play tennis against the other characters but in a rhythm game format.

The New Prince of Tennis Let's Go!! ~Daily Life~ from Rising Beat will come out on the Nintendo Switch in Japan in Fall 2022. There is no news as of yet regarding a localization.
