PCGamesN Monday, February 12, 2024 2:05 PM  What are the Banishers Ghosts of New Eden bosses? Throughout Red and Antea's journey across New Eden, you'll face off against a number of tougher enemies with much bigger health bars than the usual specters and wolves.

As long as you're not playing Banishers on the hardest difficulty, these bosses don't pose too much of a challenge, though they may take a few attempts to memorize their attack patterns along with when to dodge and parry. There are some minor spoilers here since we'll be detailing all the bosses in the main story, so proceed with caution.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, February 12, 2024 3:21 PM  SSD prices have been on the uptick recently, following a record-breaking 2023 where oversupply caused the best deals on high-capacity SSDs we've ever seen. That means that current prices aren't going to beat out last year's Black Friday deals, but there are still some decent options that carve out a better value proposition than their peers. One example is the Kingston NV2, a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD going for just £50 on Amazon UK at the moment - some £14 below its UK RRP. |

During Wonder Festival 2024 Winter, Cerevo revealed new details about the Persona 3 Reload Evoker Replica and also showed off an unfinished model of the replica Evoker. Cerevo and Atlus teamed up together to create this 1/1 replica Evoker, and the development of the replica has been supervised by the Persona 3 Reload team. [Thanks, Hobby Watch!] The Evoker replica features a number of different functions. With its built-in LED lights, the replica Evoker will light up blue when in its normal mode, but can also shift into Theurgy Mode, which will change the LED lights in the Evoker to red. It will also play Persona summoning voice lines from the various SEES members from the game. It is also said that it will replicate the sensation of "blowback" or the recoil experienced when using the Evoker. Cerevo is planning to add additional functions to the Evoker replica. The replica Evoker will come inside a special carrying case, and will also come with a holster that can be worn by people intending to use the replica for cosplay. Cerevo and Atlus first revealed the Evoker replica during a special livestream held on January 31, 2024. Some images of the unfinished model of the Persona 3 Reload Evoker replica from Hobby Watch can be viewed below: [gallery columns="2" size="medium" link="file" ids="1012720,1012717,1012716,1012714"] In Persona 3 Reload, Evokers are used to summon Persona by replicating the act of shooting themselves in the head. The Evoker seems to trigger recoil that mimics the act of firing a gun, and once the trigger is pulled on the gun, a mist appears that causes a Persona to be summoned. While Evokers are not the only way Personas can be summoned, it is primary way they are summoned in Persona 3. Persona 3 Reload is available to play on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and Windows PC. No release date for the Evoker replica has been revealed at this time.

There was one Rebuild of Evangelion figure announcement among the Good Smile Company WonHobby 38 reveals, and that was a model of the AAA Wunder. A PLAMAX model kit of the ship is in development.
The image at the official site shows that it is very early on in development. Only the image render of the ship appeared. It did note that it is a plastic model and showed a plain, grey, unpainted version of the ship.
Here's a closer look at the announcement image of the Evangelion model kit:
As a reminder, the AAA Wunder only first appears in Evangelion 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo. It is a WILLE ship headed up by Misato Katsuragi and Ritsuko Akagi, and it only appears in these movies. Other notable people onboard it include Asuka Shikinami Langley, Mari Makinami Illustrious, and Toji's little sister Sakura Suzuhara.
While no other new figures appeared at the event, Good Smile Company recently opened pre-orders for a new Nendoroid based on the series. People can already call dibs on Gendo Ikari ahead of his debut.
There's no release window yet for the Rebuild of Evangelion AAA Wunder PLAMAX figure model kit. The films are available to stream on Amazon. Netflix has the anime.

Two Urusei Yatsura figures of Lum appeared at WonHobby 38, with one being a PLAMAX plastic model kit figure and the other a Nendoroid. The two are at various stages of development.
The PLAMAX Lum is the one that is further along. It appeared as a painted prototype at the event. It features the heroine in her trademark Oni bikini.
Here's how that one is looking:
As for the Nendoroid, it seems like it will show Lum in her school uniform. She wears this once she gets to Earth and starts living there and attending Ataru's school.
Here's the initial concept art for that announcement:
New figures inspired by the series' characters have been coming up rather frequently. This is due to the fact that the new Urusei Yatsura anime adaptation is airing. As a reminder, the second season started back on January 12, 2024. That show is streaming on HIDIVE. The manga is handled by Viz Media.
There's no release window yet for either the Urusei Yatsura Lum PLAMAX model figure or Nendoroid. However, it seems based on the current update images that we'll see the PLAMAX kit appear first.

This guide covers the easiest and most efficient ways to spin degrees in Fortnite, as well as what what on earth the Quest actually means. What does "spin degrees while airborne and on foot" mean in Fortnite? To complete the "Spin degrees while airborne and on foot" in Fortnite, all you have to do is physically spin your character while jumping or falling. The "on foot" part of the Quest description means you can't do this while riding a Driftboard or gliding. 7,200 degrees sounds like a lot, but this Quest is easy to complete. One full spin is 360 degrees, so that's only 20 spins total! Completing this Quest earns you Ooze, which contributes towards radical Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cosmetics in the Cowabunga Pass.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, February 12, 2024 5:21 PM  The personas you fuse in Persona 3 Reload make a big difference on your survival rate in the endgame, with some of them serving as stepping stones to superior fusions. Along those lines, here is our guide telling you how to fuse Helel in Persona 3 Reload. Persona 3 Reload – how to fuse Helel In the later portions of the game, you discover that you can create some truly powerful personas. Those personas, while useful themselves, may be ingredients in a still more advanced fusion. So it is with Helel, who brings along Salvation, my favorite healing spell in the game. And yet, you can use that persona to create the imposing Lucifer (there are a lot of angels near the game's end). To fuse Helel, you must max out the Star Social Link, reach a sufficient level, and combine appropriate weaker personas.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Monday, February 12, 2024 5:00 PM  When I started playing Helldivers 2 with my sights on writing this review, I didn't know what to expect. Sure, I loved the last one, and of course, the concept is a complete winner. I wasn't prepared for just how much fun Helldivers 2 was going to be. It has its bugs, both intentional and unintentional, but somehow, Helldivers 2 can be forgiven for just how much alien-liberating fun I ended up having. Sometimes simple is best Helldivers 2 has been released without any kind of campaign, and more likely than not, there is no view to adding one. It was released for only $39.99, which is half the price of a lot of AAA games, and the concept is fantastically simple. Land, load up, and unleash hell. Helldivers 2 has not tried to overcomplicate its concept with side quests, storylines, and complex systems. It has doubled down on all the elements that Arrowhead Games knows it can do well. Within minutes of playing the game, the mechanics are understood, and you can drop... |

Messiah has no downside that I can see. The one I fused can ignore physical attacks, repel strikes from the Light and Dark affinities, and enjoy resistance to the remaining four elements. To fuse Messiah, combine Orpheus and Thanatos, while meeting level requirements. Screenshot: PC Invasion Near the end of the game, when things are at their darkest, you receive notification you have received the ability to fuse the Messiah persona. However, the recipe isn't provided and it can be tough to guess. Thanatos is a fairly powerful persona all on his own, who you won't be able to produce until near the end of ... |

Where to find three Jack Frost dolls for Elizabeth in Persona 3 Reload Players can get Jack Frost dolls from the claw machine outside the Game Arcade in the Paulownia Mall area. Since Elizabeth's 19th request, "I want Jack Frost Dolls," is to bring three dolls in total, you must attempt the claw machine several times.
