     League of Legends' unsung heroes: The magician of MSI 2023

On October 23, at the Hulu Theatre in New York, DRX were one game away from being eliminated from the 2022 League of Legends World Championship. They started giving out gifts to the event's stage manager, Sebastian, to thank him for taking care of the team since their first appearance in Mexico City. Only after the MOBA's now-premier squad reverse sweeped EDG and eliminated them from the biggest League of Legends tournament of the year did he realize why they chose that moment to thank him.

     Diablo 4 rarity levels – item colors and affixes explained

What are the Diablo 4 item rarity levels? Not all items are created equal in Diablo 4, and there's a lot of loot to sift through on your journey across Sanctuary. Thankfully, Blizzard has continued Diablo's long-standing tradition of splitting items into tiers of color-coded rarity, a system that's withstood the test of time – and one which you've likely seen crop up in many other games.

Equipment is a core component of Diablo 4, and the rarity of your weapons and armor is directly tied to your progression in the hellish ARPG. We've grouped the Diablo 4 rarity levels by their corresponding color, along with the number of affixes you can expect to find at each tier. We highly recommend pairing this with our primer to the Diablo 4 loot system, which delves into item effects, runewords, and more.

     Valve lets you cook Counter-Strike 2 chickens mid-fight

While the massive new Counter-Strike 2 update is all the rage, a bizarre little discovery in Valve's FPS game has me hooked. The shooter has a hidden immersive sim element (well, sort of) that I can't stop comparing to the intricate systems of Zelda Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. It's not quite an entire physics system in the palm of your hand in Counter-Strike 2, but while we wait for the full Counter-Strike 2 release date it's just enough to pique your interest.

     Blue Protocol release date, gameplay, story, and news

What is the Blue Protocol release date? The free-to-play game comes hot on the heels of the JRPG successes of Genshin Impact and Tower of Fantasy, adds an MMO angle, and is being developed by Bandai Namco, which sounds like a recipe for success.

Combining aspects from the best Genshin-like JRPG games, MMO games, and action-adventure games, there are high expectations for Blue Protocol - especially given the two massive studios behind it. Our first glimpse of the free-to-play game didn't disappoint, so when is the Blue Protocol release date and what do we know about the game so far?

     Minecraft Java and Bedrock – what you need to know

Minecraft Java and Bedrock edition launched on PC in 2022, bringing the two main versions of the game to a mutual launcher. But even with the two games living happily as one, it can be a bit confusing as to what the differences are - perhaps more so, in fact. If they're together now, why do we even need two versions?

One of the most popular PC games of all time, Minecraft has come in a number of forms: Xbox edition, Nintendo Switch edition, Pocket edition, Legacy console edition, Java, Bedrock... it's hard to keep up. Essentially, it comes down to console versions being merged over the years, and complications with Windows 1o.

     Diablo 4 PC controller support explained

Can you play Diablo 4 with a controller on PC? With computers increasing support for official control pads for mainstream consoles, it has the bonus of allowing people to use their preferred controller or any accessibility-focused devices.

Whether you want to play Diablo 4 with a PlayStation pad or an official Xbox adaptability controller, we have all the information you need to help you set up the RPG game now that the Diablo 4 release date is here. We also have Diablo 4 PC controller support details to help you rebind buttons for any regularly used Diablo 4 classes skills for maximum comfort.

     Punch Wall codes June 2023

June 7, 2023: We checked for new Punch Wall codes to add to our list.

Want all the new Punch Wall codes? The hit Roblox game tasks you with destroying a series of walls in order to reach a trophy, with the catch being that each additional wall in your path has increased health, making it that much tougher to take down. Training is key here, as spending time in your base and wailing on the punch bags will increase the damage you inflict with each strike.

The free PC game has a gacha-style pet system, and you can trade all of your 'win' trophies for a chance at some interesting companions. Friendship isn't the only thing gained by risking your trophies; each pet offers you an increase in your training, so if you manage to pull a rare beast in the Roblox game, you'll be blasting those walls in no time. Luckily for you, there are several Punch Wall Simulator codes you can enter to bag yourself some free gifts - including pets. Here are all the currently active Punch Wall Simulator codes.

     Diablo 4 Paragon Board and Glyphs explained

How does the Paragon Board work in Diablo 4? In Sanctuary, level 50 isn't the end. Hitting the normal level cap in Diablo 4 unlocks the Paragon Board, which is filled with hundreds of circular nodes to choose from. These nodes have ability alterations, stat increases, and more associated with them. Glyphs, on the other hand, are slotted into special sockets on the Paragon Board and have powerful effects.

Whether you're trying to get the best builds together to take on the endgame activities, or just wondering which of the classes to focus on after the campaign, we've got you covered as we've already explored Diablo 4 way beyond the main story.

     Destiny 2 weekly reset time

What time is the Destiny 2 weekly reset? As a premier live service game, one of the main ways that Bungie keeps players coming back to Destiny 2 is with its weekly reset of their activities. These typically offer a content refresh across the 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 note that you might get an error code when attempting to log into the game precisely at 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 is when Destiny 2 players can expect the reset to occur each week in the free PC game.

     Postal dev is

Postal creator Running With Scissors says that it is "not against pirates," explaining how many fans of the FPS game series "started" by acquiring shooters like Postal 4 through videogame piracy. After dropping a surprise Steam update for Postal 2 earlier this year, Running With Scissors tells players that if they do pirate a game, they should also consider offering alternative "financial support" to developers.

     Destiny 2 Nightfall weapons – 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 has been added to the rotation. New seasons often introduce new weapons into the rotation, so it's more important than ever to know in advance the Nightfall weapon schedule.

Nightfall: The Ordeal is a playlist available in the Vanguard menu, alongside the basic Strike playlist in the free PC game. 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, which is something you'll want to maximise your chances for with the Destiny 2 Lightfall release date that recently passed. Your best bet for farming each week's Nightfall weapon is to set the Strike to Master difficulty, or to Grandmaster difficulty when such strikes are available if you have a fireteam up to the task.

Out of all the roguelike deckbuilders that have followed in Slay The Spire's footsteps, Wildfrost is my second favourite. The cardplay never quite reaches the dizzy heights of Spire or Monster Train, but it's far cuter than either of them and still absolutely splendid. Now's a great time to pick it up, too, because its first big update is primarily aimed at clarifying rules to help new players avoid all the painful deaths I suffered through.

Developers Deadpan Games have released a roadmap, too, revealing a rough plan for what they're working on next.

Former Starcraft and Dota pro "cArn" has won the race to hit level 100 on a Diablo 4 Hardcore character, thus earning him a letter from the king and a nap. This is Diablo's permadeath mode, where one death is enough to wipe your progress. He dinged his final ding on his Barbarian in the early hours of June 5th, just five days after the game's early access launch, and he's now been officially confirmed as the first Hardcore centurion. It's a feat that sounds as impressive as it does exhausting.
