Kotaku Friday, August 5, 2022 5:55 PM  Years ago, a never-officially-released Warcraft point-and-click adventure game developed by Blizzard in the late '90s was leaked online.

PCGamesN Friday, August 5, 2022 4:53 PM  Bungie's pinnacle PvP activity is back in rotation with a major revamp, and if you're looking for details on the Destiny 2 Trials rewards this week, you've come to the right place. Before you start working your way up through the ladder, you'll want to know what you're actually working for - so here's a breakdown of what's available each week, and what map you'll be playing on. If you're not familiar with Trials of Osiris, it's a weekly PvP challenge where you enter a competitive gauntlet of 3v3 elimination matches. Your rewards are now doled out with a reputation system, so it's not about pure wins anymore, but you will still get special rewards if you can manage to go flawless. Trials lands with the reset every Friday at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT / 6pm BST, and lasts until the Tuesday reset at those same times. Each week provides a new set of rewards and a new map to play on, so here's what you can expect for the latest rotation. RELATED LINKS: Destiny 2 classes, Destiny 2 exotics, Destiny 2 builds |
PCGamesN Friday, August 5, 2022 4:52 PM  Looking for the Destiny 2 Xur location? Xûr is Destiny 2's Exotic gear merchant. He appears every weekend to sell the game's most coveted items in exchange for Legendary shards, but if you're a casual player with limited shards to spend, it can be hard to know which items you should purchase from his inventory. That's where we come in. Xûr provides random rolls and has done so since a change in 2020, so the Exotic merchant is providing plenty of excitement as he might arrive with a god roll. We'll update this Destiny 2 Xur location guide shortly after he arrives each week on Friday, so if you're reading this, you need only read on to learn where he is, and which are the best items he's selling this week. While he jumps around from week to week, Xur's location has stuck to an established rotation for a while now, so it's easy to figure out where he is.

The promised day has arrived. Anime studio MAPPA held a special livestream event to unveil its adaptation of Tatsuki Fujimoto's hit manga. The Chainsaw Man trailer gave fans and onlookers the most substantial view yet of the series. It also revealed the show's principal voice cast. Check out the Chainsaw Man trailer below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk7QSGwupPA The trailer shows off moments from the earlier chapters of the Chainsaw Man manga. Makima and a crew of devil hunters arrive at the scene of a massacre. Her narration lays out the background of the story. She refers to the advent of the Gun Devil following a gun-involved terror attack in the U.S. The view switches to Denji, still with Pochita. Shots of Denji's devil hunter partners Power and Aki Hayakawa in action are also shown off. The Chainsaw Man anime trailer closes out on a montage of battles, including the ones against the Bat Devil and Leech Devil. Aki uses his contracted Fox Devil, too. The credits on the Chainsaw Man trailer reveal the show's main voice cast, with several new and lesser-known voice actors in key roles.
The voice actors for other characters like Kobeni, Reze, Himeno, and Beam have yet to be revealed. The Chainsaw Man anime airs in October 2022. The world premiere of episode 1 will be held on September 9, 2022, in Japan. Crunchyroll will simulcast the series in most territories outside Japan and Asia. The Chainsaw Man manga is published in English by Viz Media. The post Chainsaw Man Trailer Shows Denji, Makima, Power, and Hayakawa appeared first on Siliconera. |

A new Kirby Cafe branch will appear temporarily in Nagoya, Japan. Benelic has opened a new webpage for Kirby Cafe Nagoya, which will be open from September 15, 2022, to February 5, 2023. On August 12, 2022, the company will open reservations for cafe attendances up to November 30, 2022. The Nagoya branch will have several exclusive entries on its menu. One of them will be a Waddle Dee-printed burger served with meat pasta and warm vegetables. The other will feature a hot dog with fried shrimp put literally inside Kirby's mouth. Visitors will also be able to order a Kirby-decorated peach parfait, and they can also bring the glass home by paying extra. A store selling Kirby-themed merchandise will also appear nearby the cafe, and anyone will be able to visit it without needing a reservation. Benelic will reveal the goods lineup at a later time. [gallery ids="933250,933249,933248" link="file"] As of this writing, the Kirby Cafe has two permanent branches in Japan. The game character-branded cafe used to appear sporadically since at least 2016. The first permanent cafe appeared at Tokyo Skytree Town Solamachi in late 2019. Benelic then launched the second branch on Kyushu island at Canal City Hakata in Fukuoka. The company has yet to announce whether it has any plans to turn the new Nagoya branch into a permanent one as well. Kirby Cafe Nagoya will appear on the second floor of Nagoya Parco from September 15, 2022, to February 5, 2023.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, August 5, 2022 4:00 PM  Developed by QCF Design, Desktop Dungeons earned a fair bit of praise back in the day. It won the Excellence in Design award at the Independent Games Festival in 2011, and it currently has a "very positive" user rating on Steam out of over 1,000 reviews. With this in mind, those who enjoy the idea of a simple, puzzle-based rogue-lite dungeon crawler will probably get their money's worth with the Special Edition on Steam. However, if this version of the game doesn't appeal to you for whatever reason, then perhaps the newly-announced remake dubbed Desktop Dungeons: Rewind will. From the press release, Desktop Dungeons: Rewind takes the simple, static art style of the original and reinterprets it using slightly more animated 3D models. That little bit of extra pizzazz to the visuals may appeal to those who found the original game a bit boring to look at. Don't worry about performing perfectly As the name implies, the major new feature of Desktop ... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, August 5, 2022 3:45 PM  AMD's upcoming Ryzen 7000 Series CPU lineup is planned to release in the fall. Ahead of this release, there have been rolling reveals slowly letting the public in on what this generation of processors and supporting motherboards will be like. Needless to say, plenty of leaked specs have emerged along the way. According to VideoCardz.com, the new AMD 7950X processor will reach frequencies up to 5.7 GHz, and the more-than-likely favorite for consumers, the 7600X, will manage 5.3 GHz. This leak means that AMD has focused heavily on bolstering the peak stock frequencies of its processors, with the top model being almost 800 MHz higher than the prior generation. We already knew the 7900X was capable of reaching 5.5 GHz on stock settings, and it appears this has been improved since even then. AMD is likely hesitant to confirm any leaks before the formal lineup reveal, and it makes sense because final tuning might be required to match Intel's Raptor Lake, while maintaining relativ... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, August 5, 2022 2:30 PM  Continuing its westward journey, American Truck Simulator has now formally expanded to the northwestern state of Montana. SCS made sure to keep Montana's charm and character throughout this condensed, virtual rendition. Known as the "Treasure State" and "Big Sky Country," Montana is home to just a smidge over 1 million people, large swaths of farmland, and heavy industries.Truth be told, though, it's the state's rural nature of the state that nearly caused me to write it off. Yet, I somehow managed to end this 9-hour road trip feeling far more satisfied than expected. My Montana adventure began by first picking up the new Western Star 57X and driving it to the northern tip of Idaho, which is one of the two states that border Montana. From there, I made my way to Thompson Falls before heading south to Missoula due to a blocked road . The detour allowed me to knock out two of the 15 settlements in one relatively quick go. I immediately ... |

Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific Season Four Reloaded added more new content to the current season, ranging from new weapons to exciting crossover events. Unfortunately, the mid-season update has brought some glitches along the way. The freeze glitch is one of the issues that has made a return which is kicking players out of matches. Now, another glitch has come to light in Warzone Pacific which is causing lag spikes when you ping. Pinging has been an essential mechanic since the game launched. If you ping an enemy, it allows you to see their exact location for a few seconds. Also, you can ping loot, buy stations. You can ping across the whole map for your team to see. Warzone Pacific ping glitch is putting players in an impossible situation A player shared a clip of the Warzone Pacific ping glitch in action on Reddit. The player brands the game as "borderline unplayable," and the clip shows exactly why. As you can see, the squad is playing a Plunder match on the Caldera map. A... 
There's usually something compelling about games that take influence from Hotline Miami's frantic neon-tinged, room-clearing violence. In my experience, the style doesn't fit well with first-person games for various reasons, although Animalistic does a few things to iron out some concerns. Animalistic is now available in Early Access, and has 13 of a planned 20 levels included for preview impressions. I shot my way through the first three, but had to stop due to photosensitivity issues I'll get into in a bit. Still, this is an interesting game with solid mechanics, especially if you want to violently decimate anthropomorphic animals. As should be clear from the Hotline Miami name drop in the previous paragraph, Animalistic sees you fighting your way through levels to get to the end without dying. Unlike Hotline Miami and most of the games that ape it, this one has the good sense to lose the one-shot-and-you're-dead ethos that can plague other first-p... 
A little while back, Vampire Survivors received the 0.9 update, which made it seem like the 1.0 version laid right around the corner. As it turns out, though, developer poncle does not have the full version ready for Vampire Survivors players quite yet — update 0.10 has just been released. Those who expected the 1.0 version may feel disappointed by this news. But fret not, the new update, dubbed "The Not One," features quite a few new mechanics to mess around with. These come in the form of two additional characters, a new arcana, a new weapon, two new achievements, and a "secret menu option" for Vampire Survivors. At first, it may seem that the two new characters, Cosmo Pavone and Big Trousers, serve as the most substantial additions in the 0.10 update. But actually, the "secret menu option" is the star of the show this time. If you wish to bang your head against the wall and figure out this secret for yourself, then you can stop reading h...
