Rejoice, delicious friend, for our descent into the Neath is at hand. It's been four long years since the release of Sunless Skies, and while Failbetter Games' speculative steampunk future of Fallen London left the station with a triumphant billow of steam, it's been a long time since we've stumbled over the gaslit cobbles of the doomed city itself. Enter Mask of the Rose, a visual novel that promises to bring Fallen London into stark, often unnerving focus. To cut to the heart of the matter, we caught up with Failbetter Games senior producer Stuart Young at WASD 2023 to talk love, death, and bats. So many bats.

     Resident Evil 4 Remake Mercenaries rewards, characters, and maps

Resident Evil 4 Remake Mercenaries mode is a fan-favourite, post-game mode from the long-running series, but was missing from the RE4 Remake at launch. Thankfully for players of the hotly-anticipated remake, The Mercenaries has been added as a post-game DLC.

Resident Evil 4 Remake has already earned its place as one of the best PC games around, but once you've completed the main game, you surely want to know what's next for Leon and the gang. The Mercenaries is a full-throttle post-game mode in which you simply have to kill as many enemies as possible in an allotted time - the more points, the better, naturally. Typically, there are multiple maps and playable characters to choose from in the horror game, with different unlocks available by playing them all. That said, here's everything you need to know about Resident Evil 4 Remake Mercenaries rewards, maps, and more.

     Where to find Fortnite OMD Gear locations

Want to know the Fortnite OMD Gear locations? OMD gear, or omni-directional mobility gear if you were wondering, has arrived in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2. That's right, the Eren Jaeger skin is finally here. Not only has the Jaeger family moved into Anvil Square, Thunder Spears and Scout Regiment Footlockers now appear on the island.

If you want to unlock the Eren Jaeger Fortnite skin for yourself, some of the quests unsurprisingly involve utilising the new OMD gear, so finding it is the first hurdle to get over. The OMD gear is quite tricky to use, so if you're used to the more familiar Fortnite weapons in the free PC game, then we've got you covered with some guidance on how to use the Season 2 Mythic weaponry below.

It's a pretty good time to be an RE fan. Resident Evil 4 Remake is a certified hit, and one of the best horror games in years. Meanwhile, Resident Evil Death Island, the new movie featuring Leon Kennedy, Jill Valentine, Chris, and Claire Redfield, now has a full-length trailer, and it looks, genuinely, pretty good. That's not to say that other Resident Evil movies have all been bad - Welcome to Raccoon City remains hugely underrated - but combining Michael Bay's The Rock with T-virus zombies and the classic RE cast makes Death Island seem like it could be good fun.

     The best LoL champions for beginners 2023

Figuring out the best LoL champions for beginners is half the battle if you want to find success early in your League of Legends career. The Summoner's Rift map can be a daunting place for those starting out on their MOBA journey, especially when you find yourself dying over and over. With over 150 options to choose from, the sheer amount of playable champions can also feel overwhelming.

When you begin playing League of Legends, it's best to get a grip on the core concepts of the game before committing to a role, and ultimately, a champion. Playing through basic training will familiarise you with the broader concepts of the free PC game, such as minion waves, towers, skills, and items. We have a League of Legends beginners guide here for a full explanation of the game mechanics, then once you're armed with this knowledge, you'll be ready to start experimenting in the MOBA game. We've got the best LoL champions for each role below, followed by an explanation of exactly what champions actually are, and how roles work.

     Redfall release date, trailers, gameplay, story, and news

If you're looking for the Redfall release date, we have all the information you need. The co-op vampire shooter comes from developers Arkane, best known for building rich, very deliberate worlds, and weaving intricate stories around their fascinating creations. This time, instead of a space station, or the clockwork city of Dunwall, they've focused on a small tourist town in the eastern US.

There are vampires, sure. A sniper with an undead eye? Check. They even have a cryptozoologist, because why not. The cast of Redfall characters is varied enough, but how will this co-op game fare when compared to Arkane's other creations? Many have likened Redfall to co-op shooters like Left 4 Dead, although it's allegedly going to be more like Far Cry than the aforementioned zombie shooter. Whatever happens, Redfall is shaping up to be one of the best PC games this year, here's what we know about its release date, all the trailers, gameplay, and more.

Super Mario Bros Movie Poster

The Super Mario Bros Movie is currently breaking records left and right. It has the biggest opening weekend for an animated movie, beating Frozen 2. It's beaten Warcraft's record for a video game movie's opening weekend. Its success was expected but the scale of that success was not. The question is though, is it worth this level of success? Does the Mario formula translate well to the cinema? After all, we already saw it done poorly with the disaster of the 1993 live-action movie. Chris Pratt as Mario hardly seemed like a decent choice from the dull phoned-in performance seen in all the trailers. There has been every opportunity for this to be a letdown.

Super Mario Bros Movie Karts

I will be honest. If we're judging The Super Mario Bros Movie on its story alone, then it's not a great start. It's a serviceable tale of two Brooklyn plumbers who get pulled into a magical land where a giant, angry turtle is trying to take over. Character development is minimal and predictable. It features plenty of big action-packed moments, all of which are merely tangentially related to one another. It's a threadbare, low-stakes plot that feels like it exists for the sole purpose of connecting those action moments.

However, it sure does have a lot of fun in the process.

Here's the thing about Super Mario Bros. It is not a story-driven game series (ignoring the spin-off RPGs, of course). Creator Shigeru Miyamoto went on record countless times about how he envisions the series to be a playground built around its mechanics. Anyone who's ever played a Mario game knows this. The movie, too, understands it. So even though its plot is flimsy, it doesn't matter. All it cares about is that you have fun. On that front, it succeeds.

Super Mario Bros Movie Mario and Donkey Kong

The Super Mario Bros Movie is a joyful love letter to the games it draws inspiration from. The Mushroom Kingdom of the movie feels like a fully realised version of the one from the games. Power-ups like the Fire Flower are just standard things that exist in the world. Maps are drawn like they came from Super Mario World. Bowser dons an outfit from Super Mario Odyssey. Even Mario Kart 8 gets a lot of love. Any fan of the Mario games is going to love how authentic this world feels.

But the love for Nintendo goes further. Kong Island looks like it was ripped straight from Rare's Donkey Kong Country games, with a few surprising nods to the newer titles from Retro Studios. The arena where Mario and DK battle is full of girders, evoking the original Donkey Kong arcade game that saw the debut of both characters. If that wasn't enough, plenty of NES-era games can be seen in Mario's home of Brooklyn. Most notably, we get to meet Mario and Luigi's former boss, Foreman Spike from Wrecking Crew.

Super Mario Bros Movie Obstacles

The soundtrack is a superb source of these Easter eggs too. The score blends original music with the catchy, memorable and iconic tunes of the games constantly. It's a symphony of Nintendo history, going beyond the expected World 1-1 theme from Super Mario Bros. There are even themes taken from Mario Kart and Donkey Kong, although criminally these composers were not mentioned alongside Koji Kondo in the credits.

Sticking with audio, the performances in The Super Mario Bros Movie are universally excellent. Every actor has taken to their character with full enthusiasm, with Keegan-Michael Key's Toad and Anya Taylor-Joy's Peach being highlights. Even Chris Pratt is better than expected. It's not amazing, but there's also nothing about it that can be called bad. A real surprise, considering how many trailers featured dull, uninspiring performances from him that simply aren't in the final movie. It's a strange way to market the movie, especially when fans were already wary of Pratt.

The best performance by far is Jack Black as Bowser. This isn't a surprise, of course. He's a cartoon character in real-life and he has experience with games thanks to his friendship with Double Fine's Tim Schafer. But he's also just unrecognisable in his deep Bowser register and manages to blend menace with goofiness perfectly the whole time. He also gets a brief musical number that's one of the funniest parts of the movie.

Super Mario Bros Movie Peach and Toad

The Super Mario Bros Movie is also a visual treat. The Mushroom Kingdom has been realised as a vibrant, lively land of beloved characters. There are even some fun side-scrolling sequences such as Mario and Luigi dashing across a building site or a sequence later in the movie that could have been lifted from Super Mario 3D World. Character animation is also generally excellent, with bouncy, expressive performances throughout. It completely understands the visual appeal within the Mario games.

The one exception to this is Peach, whose model felt uncomfortably disproportionate. Her massive head and slender body often made her look like a walking bobblehead doll, making a lot of her movements and expressions feel off. She wasn't consistently awful, but she landed in the uncanny valley often enough that I found it distracting. It's especially strange when every other character in the movie looks great.

It's been a good year for adaptations of gaming properties of all kinds. HBO's The Last of Us deeply understands the complex moral dilemmas of Naughty Dog's PS3 favorite. Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves was a typical D&D campaign at its core. And now, The Super Mario Bros Movie manages to capture exactly what a Mario game is – light on plot but heavy on pure joy.

The Super Mario Bros Movie may not be the greatest movie ever made, but it is an adaptation that recognises the appeal of the games and tries to bring that to the big screen. It's a theme park ride of a movie designed to put a big, stupid smile on your face. Go see it with those expectations and you will have a blast.

The Super Mario Bros Movie is in theaters now across North America and Europe. It will release in Japan on April 28, 2023. Pre-orders for the Blu-Ray and DVD are available now.

Dreams Support Ending

Sony studio Media Molecule announced that support for Dreams will soon be ending. All official support for the game creation tool will end on September 1, 2023. After this date, no further updates will be made to the game and Media Molecule will no longer be hosting any community events.

Media Molecule confirmed in an update that official support for Dreams is ending for two reasons. First, the team stated that future updates are unlikely to be sustainable in the long term. Second, the studio will be focusing on developing a new IP, although it has not announced any details on this yet.

All community events will cease as part of this move. This will include the Impy Awards, All Hallows' Dreams and DreamsCom. Community Jams will also end after the final event in April 2023. However, the in-game Hall of Fame will continue to feature previous content from past Jams.

Dreams will still be available after September 2023, however. Players will also continue to be able to create new projects and share them with others. To facilitate its ongoing survival after this, Media Molecule have confirmed server migration in May 2023. This will affect many online features and will also see two trophies changed as part of the process.

Dreams is available now for PS4.

Usada Pekora is the number one female streamer in the world. This data comes from Streams Charts, which calculates data of streamers on platforms like YouTube and Twitch. In terms of "number one streamer," it means that Usada Pekora is the female streamer with the most viewers. [Thanks, Yahoo!]

Usada Pekora is a VTuber from the third generation of Hololive. She is also not the only Hololive member to be on the list. Other streamers with the highest viewing time for female streamers include Amane Kanata, Tsunomaki Watame, Sakura Miko, Oozora Subaru, and Hakui Koyori. All of these streamers are with Hololive.

In order, and with data (hours watched versus airtime), here are the most watched female Twitch and YouTube gaming streamers:

usada pekora

Streams Charts is not the only company that has been calculating streamer data, nor is this the only year in which Usada Pekora has achieved a high number of views. She was the second most-watched streamer in 2022, according to Stream Hatchet. Sakura Miko, also of Hololive, was in third place. Amouranth was the number one streamer in 2022, but she is in fourth place thus far in 2023 due to the fact that she streams less frequently now.

Usada Pekora streams on YouTube and Twitch. As of the time of writing, she has 2.2 million subscribers on her YouTube channel and over a thousand videos.

konami

Police in Japan arrested a Konami employee for trying to murder his former boss with a fire extinguisher. According to reports, he used a fire extinguisher and hit the victim on the head. The police arrested him on the spot. After interrogating the culprit, the police charged him with attempted murder. [Thanks, Livedoor!]

The reason why the police charged him with attempted murder is because the culprit said that the boss had been using his higher position in the company to harass him, and thus he had hit his former boss with the intent to kill. Power harassment could include a boss exercising their authority in a way that one could constitute it as bullying. The culprit has not given any particular examples of the power harassment.

The attack happened at around 11am JST in Ginza Six, which is an office building in Tokyo. The culprit, who is 41 years old, approached his former boss (48) from behind and then tried to murder him with a fire extinguisher. His co-workers pinned him down. The victim survived with an injury that would put him in the hospital for a week. Though the culprit had gone to Konami's HR when they were on the same team to report him for power harassment, Konami stated that power harassment was not happening. It resolved the issue in 2020 by moving the culprit to another team.

More information will appear in the future as to the culprit's sentence. As of the time of writing, Konami has not made an official statement in regards to the attempted murder.

Digimon World Next Order Switch Audio Patch Adds Japanese Voices

People playing Digimon World: Next Order on the Switch worldwide now have Japanese voice acting as an audio option. Bandai Namco released at patch that brings the European version up to par with the North American one. At launch, it lacked the option.

Here's the official announcement. At the beginning of March 2023, Bandai Namco announced it was working on a patch that would let people switch between English and Japanese voice acting when playing Digimon World: Next Order. While the PC version and North American Switch one already offered the audio option, the European one lacked it at launch.

Digimon World: Next Order is a more traditional sort of entry in the series. Players work alongside two partner Digimon and care for them, to help them become stronger and evolve into over 200 different characters. It originally appeared on the Vita in Japan, though a PS4 version debuted in 2017 worldwide. The Switch and PC ports appeared in February 2023 everywhere.

Digimon World: Next Order is available on the Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PC, and Japanese voice acting is available as an audio option in the Switch version worldwide now.

Assassination Classroom

Three books in Yusei Matsui's comedy manga Assassination Classroom series have been removed from a Florida school's library after pressure from a conservative advocacy group. Jennifer Pippin, chair of the Indian River County chapter of Moms for Liberty, challenged the book's presence in Gifford Middle School's library because of the depiction of students wielding firearms. "We don't want students to think it's OK to kill their teachers," she was quoted as saying in a USA Today story. [Thanks, USA Today!]

Assassination Classroom follows a class of middle schoolers being taught by an alien, who they must assassinate within a year to save the earth. The series inspired two animated films, a live action film, a mobile game and two 3DS games. It is published in North America by Viz, with the anime adaptation on Crunchyroll. It also appeared on Cartoon Network's Toonami.

Pippin also challenged a graphic novel adaptation of the diary of Anne Frank, which was then removed from nearby Vero Beach High School. Anne Frank's Diary: The Graphic Adaptation, adapted by Ari Folman and illustrated by David Polonsky, was criticized for "sexually explicit" illustrations and for "minimalising the Holocaust." Other books on Frank, including her original diary, remain available in the school.

The Assassination Classroom manga is published in North America by Viz, while the anime adaptation is available on Hulu and Crunchyroll.

Nintendo Live 2023 Seattle Will Take Place in September

Nintendo announced it will hold a Nintendo Live 2023 event in Seattle in September 2023. It didn't announce a location for the event yet. There are also no exact dates. However, it did confirm attendees will get to play game demos, take part in tournaments, see people in character costumes.

The official site for the Nintendo Live 2023 Seattle event is live. It referenced four specific elements. It noted that there will be games present. Tournaments are mentioned in their own category. (Games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or Splatoon 3 could show up in that area.) Photo opportunities will arise, with the official announcement mentioning Mario and Luigi being present. Finally, there will be some "live stage" element.

As a reminder, there's another major gaming event that happens every year around September in Seattle. PAX West often is held there around that time. PAX West 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2020 all happened within the first week of the month. There are no dates for PAX West 2023 yet.

We still don't know what games Nintendo has planned for the latter half of 2023 yet. We do know that Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp comes out on April 21, 2023, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will appear on May 12, 2023, and Pikmin 4 will appear on July 21, 2023. However, there are no first-party release dates for titles past July.

Lofi Girl Disappeared

A mysterious disappearance is making waves on the Internet—the Lofi Girl, who has accompanied workers and students for years, is no longer next to her signature window. It seems that the Lofi Girl is in the process of moving rooms, though. The YouTube channel that streams it has another stream going on, showing a dark room with a countdown. [Thanks, Game Watch!]

The other stream shows a dark room that has a fish tank, a desk, a calendar, a guitar, and a countdown. As of the time of writing, there is still around two and a half hours left in the countdown. That may be when we get answers as to the location of the Lofi Girl.

Hints that something was going on had started appearing on April Fools'. She had stopped her eternal studying to take a nap while her cat watched her. Then, on April 9, 2023, the Lofi Girl looked out her window and saw a room in another room flash blue. This may be the same room that the channel is streaming now, since they're both blue.

Editor's Update at 1pm ET on April 11, 2023: There are now two simultaneous streams. One features a new character in a blue room with a puppy. The other features Lofi Girl in her room across the street with a kitten.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVPTGNGiI-4&ab_channel=LofiGirl

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfKfPfyJRdk&ab_channel=LofiGirl

Once the countdown for the Lofi Girl stream reaches zero, we'll likely see her again. Until then, you can still enjoy some lo-fi beats on the usual stream, though your study partner will not be there.

resident evil death island

The new Resident Evil CGI movie, Resident Evil Death Island, will appear in theaters in Japan on July 7, 2023. There is a new trailer, as well as some screenshots, letting us see how familiar characters from the franchise will look like in the movie. In particular, the trailer is over two minutes long, and it shows the heroes shooting down zombies in Alcatraz Prison. [Thanks, Game Watch!]

The story for Resident Evil Death Island will start with Leon chasing after an armed organization that kidnapped Antonio Taylor, who has knowledge on some classified information. However, a mysterious woman interferes during the chase and they escape. Meanwhile, Chris, Jill, and Rebecca of the BSAA are dealing with a zombie outbreak in the San Francisco. Claire and TerraSave figure out that the infectees all previously visited Alcatraz, and so the group decides to go and investigate.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThmEKGQC_s8

The new character overview tweets also show how Rebecca and Claire look in the movie. There is also a short blurb introducing who each character is. As a reminder, this movie is a sequel to Resident Evil: Vendetta, which originally came out in 2017. It's unclear if viewers will need knowledge of what happened in Vendetta in order to understand Death Island.
