     How much have I spent on League of Legends?

Ever ask yourself "How much have I spent on League of Legends?"? Riot Games' hugely successful MOBA is technically a free game, but if you ask any avid fan if that's the case, you'll no doubt receive a wry laugh in response. The 160-strong champion pool is diverse and wonderful; each character can be purchased with currency earned while playing - the premium cosmetics, however, are bought with real-world money.

These cosmetics - skins, mainly - can be purchased directly using an in-game currency called RP. This itself is purchasable using your own hard-earned cash, though. LoL skins change the base look of the character you're playing, with premium cosmetics adding completely new effects, voice lines, and animations. There's also a battle pass that can be bought using RP which rewards you the more you play, so may seem like the most efficient way to spend your money. So, while the MOBA is technically one of the best free PC games right now, you can see just how easily it can sway you into parting with your money. This guide will give you the information needed to find out exactly how much you've spent in League of Legends.

     Best Warzone 2 FTAC Recon loadout for Season 1 Reloaded

If you want the best Warzone 2 FTAC Recon loadout, you're first going to have to increase the mag size, as this powerful weapon can fire a lethal punch, but it's not always completely reliable.

Because of the long ranges of this battle royale game, we've added attachments that improve the gun's time-to-kill stats, focusing on recoil, damage range, and bullet velocity. Mag size might not be that important in most FPS games, but it's essential in this free PC game, so we're adding to that too while ensuring that with these improvements each bullet counts.

Excited to try out the best FTAC Recon loadout in MW2? The FTAC Recon's limited number of bullets makes this weapon difficult to recommend for beginners, but the incredible firepower can be devastating in the right hands. If you aren't as confident in your abilities, you may want to play tactically, keeping your distance and rotating your position to ensure you don't get caught out.

If you managed to get your hands on the Modern Warfare 2 Vault Edition, the FTAC Recon is one of the best guns available at the start of the FPS game as it can be fully equipped with attachments from the get-go. This gives you the opportunity to increase its magazine size and improve the battle rifle in a number of key areas.

     The best clicker games and idle games on PC 2023

What are the best clicker games and idle games? 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, and while they might not be among the best PC games for their depth or storylines, clicker games are certainly among the most calming and relaxing games around.

Dream life sim PowerWash Simulator is heading on another unexpected mission, this time to Final Fantasy 7's industrial city of Midgar. You'll need to wait a little longer to help Cloud and friends clean up the city, as we don't have a release date for the free Midgar Special Request DLC yet. The crossover pack's announcement (via the Square Enix Extreme Edges Twitter account) did tease a few of the things we can expect to clean up, including the Seventh Heaven bar, and FF7's first boss the Guard Scorpion. The teaser image also shows off the motorcycles from FF7's mini-game, so I'll be expecting to hose that down in time for a quick escape.

Second Fortnite Dragon Ball Super Crossover Adds Gohan and Piccolo

Gohan and Piccolo from Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero are the latest characters to come to Fortnite. Epic Games just revealed the crossover. However, while these two skins are new to 23.30, there are also returning activities and items too. If people missed it before, they can now visit Dragon Ball Adventure Island for activities. People can also once again get the Kamehameha attack and Nimbus Cloud (Kintoun) vehicle from the first event during Battle Royale and Zero Build until 23.40. The past Dragon Ball outfits will also eventually return too.

As expected, people will need to buy the Gohan and Piccolo Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero stuff from the Fortnite shop to use them. The Hogan outfit lets you use its Gohan's Charging Up Emote to become a Super Saiyan. You can also select that style separately. People also get the Gohan Cape Back Bling with the outfit. People can pick up a Capsule No. 576 Glider or Gohan's Beast Axe Pickaxe to go with the ensemble. As for Piccolo, its Piccolo's Charging Up Emote changes to the Power Awakening version, though that style is also an option to choose. His outfit includes the Piccolo's Cape and Turban Back Bling and Demon Symbol Back Bling. You can also get a Handheld House Pickaxe or Red Ribbon Army Aircraft Glider. If people get a bundle, they also get a loading screen with the two together.

Dragon Ball Adventure Island remains a place inspired by the anime and manga series. Tenkaichi Budokai is the PVP arena there. People can also visit more peaceful spaces like Goku's House and the Room of Spirit & Time. It is at 5642-8525-5429. There is also a Gohan Beast Spray that can be earned via a Weekly Quest starting January 31, 2023. The Orange Piccolo Spray will be a Weekly Quest reward as of February 7, 2023.

Fortnite is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, Windows PC, and mobile devices, and the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero crossover with Gohan and Piccolo is now live.

zack play arts kai header

Square Enix will release a Play Arts Kai figure of Zack Fair as he appears in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion. While he is the same character over both the original and the remake, there are some changes to his character design. For example, his bangs are a bit different. The Zack Play Arts Kai figure is available in both the Japanese and North America Square Enix stores.

He will also come with a Buster Sword, as well as tons of hand parts.

Here are some more pictures of the figure:

Here's a List of Every Anime Skin Crossover in Fortnite

While Fortnite is a western game, handled by Epic Games, its reach means a number of other series get pulled into it. This results in various collaboration items and events tied to famous titles. While there still aren't too many anime series represented in Fortnite yet, Shonen Jump skins already started showing up in the shop. To help keep track of all these updates and events when they happen, here's a full list of every anime series that's found its way to the game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2okkOUmLaqA&ab_channel=Fortnite

Dragon Ball Super

The Dragon Ball Super Fortnite crossover was a big deal, with skins and items inspired by the anime around. As part of the update, four skins in particular appeared. Of course, Goku and Vegeta showed up. So did the classic Kamehameha. People could also dress up as Beerus or Bulma. Finally, there was a Kitoun flying cloud to ride around on. Then in January 2023, Gohan and Piccolo from Dragon Ball Super appeared in a second collaboration.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7O4UypFSp4&ab_channel=Fortnite

My Hero Academia

The My Hero Academia Fortnite collab showed up before 2022 ended, and again it brought four characters to the game. This time, each one is a notable hero and main character from the title. As far as students go, people could dress up in skins based on Izuku "Deku" Midoriya, Ochaco "Uravity" Uraraka, Katsuki "Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight" Bakugo. The only teacher character who appeared was All Might.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38exZ1KijN0&ab_channel=Fortnite

Naruto

Naruto anime skins appeared not once, but twice in Fortnite. The first time happened in Chapter 2. That's when the Team 7 characters Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, and Kakashi showed up in-game. Then in Chapter 3, another batch appeared. That time, people could pick up new looks inspired by Gaara, Hinata, Itachi, and Orochimaru. So far, it's the only series to get two collabs in-game.

Fortnite is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, Windows PC, and mobile devices.

powerwash simulator ffvii

Square Enix and FuturLab announced a free FFVII DLC for PowerWash Simulator. The official name of the DLC is the "Midgar Special Pack." There is release date as of yet. [Thanks, Gematsu!]

In the Midgar Special Pack, you will be able to use your power washing skills to clean up familiar Final Fantasy VII locales, enemies, and objects. So far, we know that you can hose down "7th Heaven," "Hardy-Daytona," and "Guard Scorpion." 7th Heaven is the name of Tifa's bar, as well as AVALANCHE HQ. The Hardy-Daytona is Cloud's motorcycle, and the Guard Scorpion is the very first boss that Cloud encounters in the No. 1 Reactor.

In PowerWash Simulator, the goal of the game is to clean up grimy environments and objects with your trusty power washer. That is pretty much the whole point of the game if you play it solo. There is also a multiplayer function where you can team up with your buddies. Despite its simplicity, many streamers have played it on stream as a background to zatsudan or as an excuse to draw inappropriate images.

The FFVII Midgar Special Pack will be free DLC for PowerWash Simulator. However, there is no concrete release date as of yet. PowerWash Simulator is readily available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC.

love live school life idol

KLab announced that Love Live: School Idol Festival will end service on March 31, 2023. After that date, players will no longer be able to download or play the game. As of January 31, 2023, you are also unable to purchase any more paid content such as Love Gems, packs, or Passes.

While some games offer refunds on paid content that you still own at the end of a game's life, KLab has not made any note about that on its announcement page for School Idol Festival. There is an e-mail for concerned players to reach out to. Since all Love Gems and tickets are valid until the game actually ends in late March 2023, you are likely meant to use them all up before then.

Love Live: School Idol Festival is a free-to-play rhythm game based on the Love Live franchise. It originally came out in 2013 in Japan, which means that the game lasted around ten years. There was an arcade version available as well, though it shut down in 2021. School Idol Festival often ran collaboration events with other intellectual works. For example, it had a Persona crossover and a Code Geass one in the past.

Love Live: School Idol Festival is readily available for mobile devices, and it will end service on March 31, 2023. Players will have until that date to download the game and use up any remaining premium items.

final fantasy vii day

Mark your calendars, because all January 31st from 2023 forth will officially be Final Fantasy VII Day. Final Fantasy VII Day is only valid in Japan. Square Enix announced that it has registered January 31st to be Final Fantasy VII Day with the Japan Anniversary Association. This is because Square Enix originally released it 26 years ago on January 31, 1997. [Thanks, Gematsu!]

On Twitter, Yoshinori Kitase left an anniversary message. Kitase was the director of the original FFVII, as well as the producer of the Remake project. You can read the message here:

https://twitter.com/finalfantasyvii/status/1620255927075995648

In summary, he states that the release of FFVII was a major milestone for the Final Fantasy series. Not only was this a highly formative work for many gamers, but it came out at a time of rapid technological advancement. For Kitase, as well as many members on the Final Fantasy team, FFVII reminds him of all the big dreams he had at the time.

Many fans have responded positively to this Tweet. Some have stated that they will celebrate it every year, while others have expressed that it should be an international holiday. Perhaps Square Enix will have special campaigns and events on future FFVII Days.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is readily available for the PS4, PS5, and Windows PC.

You can check out other Emon Toys products in their official website.

You can pre-order the new Solaire of Astora figure from Emon Toys' Amazon Japan store. In the past, Emon Toys have also produced figures of Persona 5's Panther, and xxxHOLiC's Yuuko.

Persona Sega offices

Sega shared through their official twitter account a series of pictures of the new offices of Sega of America, which highlight several of their biggest franchises, such as the Persona series. The decoration of the offices includes a timeline of Sega's history with illustrations, which marks Sega's acquisition of Atlus in 2014 with art of Persona 5 and Shin Megami Tensei IV.

https://twitter.com/SEGA_OFFICIAL/status/1619898232079024131

It is a well known fact that the Persona series is one of Sega's strongest intellectual properties, and the company knows it well. They know how to show their appreciation for the franchise as well. In their new North American installations, the timeline of Sega's history includes Atlus' 35th Anniversary, the 25th Anniversary of the Persona series, and the release of Persona 5 Royal in all platforms in 2022. In the timeline, all these entries share an almost even protagonism with Sonic the Hedgehog himself, the prodigal son of Sega.

Sega doesn't stop there. The office area includes a seating booth themed after the Phantom Thieves of Persona 5, while the refreshment corner includes an entire wall dedicated to artwork of the four protagonists of Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 5 Royal. This comes as no surprise, as the latest three numbered entries in the Persona series have recently reached all modern platforms.

If you also want to decorate your house with Persona-themed items, Atlus recently partnered with Useless Use Lab to release a line of home decor.

Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 5 Royal are immediately available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Switch, and PC.

Set to make its "grand return" for 2023, it appears the show's biggest tentpoles won't be there to support it. According to IGN's report, it has learned "from multiple knowledgeable sources that Xbox, Sony and Nintendo won't be part of E3 2023 or have a presence on the Los Angeles Convention Center showfloor." Xbox skipping E3 2023 is a sign of the times Should these absences be confirmed by the companies in question, this would mark the first time in the show's history to have all the components of its largest presence completely missing. Such an exodus may come as a surprise when simply looking at the situation from face value. However, the wr...
