     Age of Empires 4 Season 2 update lets you rotate the camera

There's a new Age of Empires 4 patch out now that heralds the arrival of Season 2, which focuses on the Age of Sail. Update 17718 does quite a bit more than usher in the new seasonal activities, however - there's a new map, new map selection options in multiplayer, and a brand new camera that will provide a grander and more sweeping view of the RTS game's medieval battlefields.

     Destiny 2 weekly reset time, changes, and schedule

A fresh Destiny 2 weekly reset is upon us. As a premier live service game, one of the main ways that Bungie keeps players coming back to Destiny 2 is with its weekly resets. These typically offer a content refresh across the space game's various planets, raids, and dungeons, along with minor bug fixes and changes to address outstanding player concerns. The reset often includes new seasonal mission content or updates to existing in-game activities for players who own the seasonal content. And, with ongoing weekly updates to the Nightfall, the Crucible playlist, campaign missions, in-game activities and bounties, there's more to track than ever.

The Destiny 2 weekly reset takes place at the same time each week. There's often some server downtime around the reset, so you should take note of that if you're unable to log into the game at precisely that time. Once the reset begins, you'll have a full week to explore all the changes before Bungie rolls out another set of changes on the same day and time the following week.

Here, we're offering Destiny 2 players a recap of all the weekly reset changes so you know what shiny new activities to prioritise while grinding for loot.

     Teamfight Tactics patch 12.13 notes – Aurelion Sol rework

League of Legends' auto-battler spinoff Teamfight Tactics is getting a major patch soon. TFT Update 12.13 makes some key changes to the game's flow, tightening up match times by shortening several rounds. The update also includes a much-needed rework to astral dragon Aurelion Sol, tweaks the carousel experience in Double Up, and does the usual champion and trait balance upkeep players have come to expect with updates.

Riot says it'll be reducing match length by a total of 50 seconds by shaving 10 seconds off of augment rounds 2-1, 3-2, and 4-2, the treasure dragon stage 4-7, and stage 5-1, which comes immediately after the treasure dragon round. It's not a massive shift, but those some of the rounds in which most players find themselves twiddling their thumbs are being tightened up just a smidge, which is nice.

     Destiny 2: what is the Nightfall weapon this week?

Want to know what this week's Destiny 2 Nightfall weapon is? Each week you've got a chance at a different weapon for completing Nightfall Strikes, and ever since Season of the Lost, fan-favourite legacy weapons from the original Destiny have been added to the rotation. Two new weapons were introduced into the pool in Season of the Risen, so it's more important than ever to know in advance the Nightfall weapon schedule.

In case you don't know what the Destiny 2 Nightfall weapon means, Nightfall: The Ordeal is a playlist available in the Vanguard menu, alongside the basic Strike playlist. Each week, a different Strike is chosen as the Nightfall, and offered in five escalating difficulties, with harder enemies, challenging modifiers, and enemy power levels cranking up.

The coveted Nightfall weapons have a chance to drop from any Nightfall Strike difficulty, but it's far more likely at higher levels. Your best bet for farming each week's Nightfall weapon is to set the Strike to Master difficulty, according to YouTuber Aztecross. You should also note that there's no automatic matchmaking above Hero difficulty, however, so you'll need to get a squad together.

     Outriders Worldslayer patch adds more places to farm legendary gear

It didn't take long for Outriders players to discover an exploit in the co-op game's first big expansion, Worldslayer. Developer People Can Fly says "a large number of players" have been using the exploit to skip straight to the final Arbiter in the Trial of Tarya Gratar dungeon and farm this boss repeatedly. The latest Outriders patch addresses this exploit, but does it in a somewhat surprising way.

Rather than closing the loophole that allows players to dash straight for the final Arbiter, the latest Outriders patch expands the farming options available in the Trial of Tarya Gratar. The update adds guaranteed Apocalypse Legendary RNG drops to the Cliffside Path, Daughter's Sanctuary, and The Arboretum Trove areas, giving players more reasons to play the complete dungeon.

     Fallout: New Vegas mod nukes soldiers who dare meme at you

There's a new Fallout: New Vegas mod out for the beloved RPG game that helps to remove the least beloved part as violently and destructively as possible - specifically, any NCR soldier who tries to say that line at you. You know the one we mean.

There are some fantastic Fallout: New Vegas mods out there, but this one from creator Testudini might be the most satisfying of the lot. A lot of people are familiar with Skyrim's infamous "arrow to the knee" repeated line, but anyone who's played Obsidian's Fallout game will be familiar with NCR soldiers saying "patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter." It's a meme.

The 'Wishes Come True' mod for Fallout: New Vegas grants the wish of NCR soldiers by immediately targeting anyone who says the line with a tactical nuclear missile. Unfortunately, as you might imagine, if you're close enough to hear the line you're undoubtedly close enough to be blown up in a nuclear inferno, but them's the breaks.

     Roblox music codes June 2022 – the best song IDs

Looking for Roblox music codes? There are thousands of popular songs available to listen to in Roblox, simply by entering music ID codes into your boombox or the radio. Using song IDs, you can play your favourite TikTok songs in games with your friends.

So how do you play music in Roblox? The method varies depending on which game you want to blast your tunes in. Some games allow you free access to the boombox - simply equip and press it to bring up a text box in which you can enter a song ID code. Catalog Heaven is a great place to test the Roblox music codes you find, as it allows you to equip any boombox in the shop and try it out.

In most games, however, you'll need to use the radio to play music. This is usually part of a paid Game Pass - the price of a Game Pass is set by each game developer individually. Once you have access to the radio, you can use it in the same way as the boombox - simply enter the song ID code and press play. Occasionally, tracks are taken down by Roblox, so if a code stops working, you'll have to look for a replacement. Here are the best radio music codes in Roblox that work in June 2022:

Prime Day 2022 comes just as the global graphics card market slowly emerges from a devastating crypto-coma. That means some prices are back to normal, some aren't, and the entire concept of a deal becomes kind of nebulous and squishy. And yet, there will undoubtedly be people out there desperate for a new graphics card – any new graphics card – so let's take a look at what's out there.

The bad news is that the vast majority of Prime Day GPU "deals" still reach above the respective card's original retail price. The good news is that I've found a small handful of offers that are, if nothing else, good value by the incredibly whacked-out standards of the past two years. First up, there are a couple of Nvidia GeForce RTX 30 series cards worth considering in the UK, including an MSI-made RTX 3070 (that Ebuyer have price matched). Sticking with RTX cards, which can run both DLSS and DLAA, GameStop have a reasonable RTX 3060 deal for US buyers.

Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak

Monster Hunter Rise was, perhaps, one of my favorite games of 2021. It's hard to believe that over a year has passed since its release on the Nintendo Switch. My original playtime for it totaled around 120 hours. So, as you can imagine, I was elated about the announcement of the Sunbreak expansion. Nothing had me more excited to sink my teeth back into the game and, after spending over 50 hours with Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak, it feels like the expansion was well worth the wait.

Sunbreak builds upon an already solid foundation, extrapolating on what made Monster Hunter Rise so good. That was the range of movement players could now perform with the aide of the Wirebug. It's a mechanic I can't really see myself living without at this point, and Sunbreak adds to this through the implementation of "Morphed Wirebugs." This makes an already essential mechanic all that more useful.

There are a total of two Morphed Wirebugs available, Gold and Ruby, which have individual effects. The Ruby Wirebug increases the amount of damage done by Mounted Punishes, whereas the Gold Wirebug affects the amount of items a monster will drop when it is attacked during wyvern riding. Since I love to min-max, the Gold Wirebug became my evolution of choice, as it helped me farm items to craft and acquire better armor and weapons.

Thankfully, players can swap between Gold and Ruby Wirebugs. But only once the time allotted to having one of these "evolved" Wirebugs has depleted. Players can equip one or the other for roughly 3 minutes before needing to scour the map and potentially find a replacement. While this addition may seem incremental, it was nice having it there for those that do make copious use of endemic life.

Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak

There are also a handful of new Silkbind Skills, adding to a pretty decent list of skills that were already available. Having used the Dual Blades in Monster Hunter Rise, I loved the additional Silkbind Skills in Sunbreak. The Spiral Slash skill was my favorite, mostly because I'm the kind of player that dives headfirst into combat. This facilitated the way I played and allowed me to be even more aggressive when initiating a fight. And the ability to switch skills on the fly was particularly useful when using the Hunting Horn. This has honestly made combat way more engaging than before. It leans further and further into the more fast-paced action oriented elements of the Monster Hunter series that has been bleeding further into the formula since Monster Hunter: World.

However, what I was most excited about were Follower Quests, which didn't disappoint. These new quests are a great draw for single-player Hunters, as you can take NPCs with you on these excursions. This specific style of quest is unlocked through story progression, with each completed quest allowing for players to jump into Survey Quests. While Follower Quests are less freeform and tie players to specific NPCs, Survey Quests allow for a little more flexibility.

Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak

Players can choose which NPCs they want to accompany them on Survey Quests, and even get a wider range of what weapons specific NPCs can carry with them into combat. But outside of being a great way to stretch out how solo players want to interact with Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, there is a secondary benefit to doing these quests. That's unlocking new armor and weapons.

While the Village and Hub Quest progression has disappeared in Sunbreak, with both being consolidated for a more concise experience, it feels like Follower Quests have occupied that slot held by Village quests. These feel significantly easier, especially with specific NPCs. And each NPC feels wholly unique, as they have their own behaviors that really shine through in hunts. My favorite NPCs appeared at the tail end of the Follower Quests, but that didn't stop me from taking them through Survey Quests just to feel what it would be like to fight alongside them.

Unfortunately, the one thing holding Sunbreak back is the roster of available monsters. I had burned through Monster Hunter Rise, grinding hours upon hours of hunts with the new additions feeling meaningful and unique. But Sunbreak doesn't have much to offer in that regard. A good portion of the roster consists of variants of monsters encountered in Rise.

Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak

While there is definitely a greater sense of mechanical complexity when dealing with the Malzeno for example, it doesn't make up for the small roster. It is great to see certain monsters return however, and I loved going toe-to-toe with the Astalos and tackling the Gore Magala for the very first time. The end-game is also fairly interesting, and incorporates a new kind of affliction (specifically concerning monsters, not players) in an interesting way.

But Capcom has already promised plans for post-game content. As it includes the addition of more variants through future updates, the future of Monster Hunter looks bright. Specifically Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, as it's already managed to sell over 2 million copies since its release on June 30, 2022. Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak can really only get better from here. Like Rise, it provides a solid foundation for whatever direction future content updates or installments of the series go next.

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak is available for Nintendo Switch and PC.

Kingdom the Blood

Zombies are a staple of video games, as are games based on zombie TV series. The latest in that latter trend is Kingdom: The Blood, a new game based on the hit Netflix horror series Kingdom. The game is in development for PC and mobile platforms.

IGN hosted the first Kingdom: The Blood gameplay trailer on their official Twitter account.

https://twitter.com/IGN/status/1546676044542902274

The trailer shows a Korean warrior slicing his way through various foes, both human and undead. According to IGN's preview, developer Action Square motion-captured a professional Korean sword dancer to inspire the combat animations and system. As Kingdom is also a period story, the team paid special attention to replicating historical details for clothing and locations for Kingdom: The Blood. Netflix bills the game as a "zombie RPG". It will feature a story mode, an arcade-like Conquest Mode, and PVP combat. Players can create their own character and customize them.

The Kingdom TV show premiered in 2019, and is based on the manhwa The Kingdom of the Gods by Kim Eun-hee and Yang Kyung-il. The story is set during Korea's Joseon period, roughly around 1595 A.D. The Crown Prince Lee Chang discovers an unnatural plague that resurrects dead people as zombies. Amidst the chaos, political conspiracies and dark secrets endanger the future of the land. Two seasons of Kingdom are available to stream on Netflix, along with Kingdom: Ashin of the North, a prequel spin-off.

Kingdom: The Blood is in development for PC and mobile platforms. Netflix has not specified a release window. Netflix is also working on a new Castlevania-based animated series.

     AurelionsolTeamfight Tactics' new 12.13 patch is live, and fans of the Astral trait and Aurelion Sol are going to be very pleased. Leading the major changes of this new patch are a set of Astral buffs, including an extensive Aurelion Sol rework that will make fans of the niche dragon happy. Aurelion Sol is a 10-cost unit with a 5-cost rarity so, naturally, players should expect the unit to deliver a great deal of power. Frankly speaking, he was not very good and needed a change to his kit. Aurelion Sol will keep the core identity of his kit, which is summoning black holes underneath enemies and dealing damage. However, Aurelion Sol is getting pushed into a larger utility role. Aurelion Sol will summon a black hole underneath a random enemy, which implodes after two seconds. This will deal plenty of magic damage (which has also been buffed) but, more importantly, enemies who are hit by Aurelion Sol's attack will now receive 20% more damage.   Astral is stronger Additionally, Astra...

If you've been paying attention to the news in recent weeks, really, months at this point, graphics card pricing has collapsed.
