     This Jack Daniel's gaming PC looks like it's filled with whiskey

Is the water-cooling loop in this scratch-built wooden PC build really filled with whiskey? Well, obviously not, but we absolutely love what PC builder Craig Ferrie has done with this Jack Daniel's gaming PC. The wooden case itself is a marvelous bit of craftsmanship, but the centerpiece is the Jack Daniel's bottle and glass tumbler at the front - these parts genuinely work as part of the water-cooling system, which is filled with whiskey-colored coolant.

Thanks to our rapidly growing PC building Facebook page, we've seen many custom gaming PCs, from mods based on existing case designs to scratch PC builds. You can even submit yours for consideration right here. Here we talk to Craig about how he created this fantastic whiskey-themed Jack Daniel's PC, which he calls Jack Daniel's On the Rocks.

     Sons of the Forest map, GPS tracker, and item locations

What are the key Sons of the Forest map locations? Sons of the Forest includes a lot of the same features as the first game, including caves, woodland, and water. However, developer Endnight Games has implemented a map that is four times the size of the first game, and that's without taking into account the underground cave system.

You can spawn in several random locations on the Sons of the Forest map, and from there, the open-world game is your oyster. Traversing the overground will take you through troubling terrain, so you'll need to stock up on food and make sure you know how to get water in Sons of the Forest to keep your stamina up.

How do you play Nightingale multiplayer with friends? The Victorian gaslight crafting survival game (other descriptors are available) is all about braving the wilds, exploring the unknown, and building a base so you and yours can thrive. While Nightingale can be played solo, there are a fair few advantages to bringing some friends along for the ride.

The Nightingale release date is upon us, and you might think you're ready to dive head-first into the crafting game. That said, you should consider whether you're ready to go it alone. We all know that many hands create light work, and, it turns out, that's especially true in a world filled with monstrous entities. Here's how Nightingale multiplayer works, and what you need to do to play with friends.

     Huge Lenovo Legion Go price cut could be a sign of things to come

Despite only releasing in October 2023, one of the big names in the handheld gaming PC market appears to be considering big price cuts. This Lenovo Legion Go deal is live in Germany and may have already sold out, but it speaks volumes to how far some brands need to go in order to keep up with the Steam Deck and upcoming devices like the MSI Claw.

As one of the best handheld gaming PCs, the Legion Go and its 8.8-inch, 1600p display towers over the competition, quite literally. It also has a battery larger than the ROG Ally, but it is not enough to compete with the well-rounded Steam Deck OLED, especially when it has a higher MSRP. This is where the current Legion Go deal comes into play because if we're lucky, it could spread out across multiple markets to get more devices into players' hands.

Looking for a Genshin Impact tier list? There are currently 81 Genshin Impact characters available, providing you with a wide variety of candidates to construct your dream team. But with so many weapons, elementals, talents, ascension bonuses, and constellation upgrades, finding your favorites can be challenging.

Don't let the placement of the characters on our Genshin Impact tier list deter you from pulling on the next character banner. While base stats and elemental abilities are important, the value of a character also depends on personal playstyle, available weapons and artifacts, and team composition. It doesn't matter if your favorite Genshin Impact character is on one of the lower tiers; you can still make it work with our recommended Genshin Impact builds. Being on a lower tier in the free PC game means that there are better alternatives, or the character needs a very specific build or team to shine. We've spent hundreds of hours trying different variations of teams in Spiral Abyss to establish who the best characters are in Genshin Impact.

Yesterday they unveiled the next batches of Game Pass additions and two are returnees, with the delightful fighty platformer Indivisible accompanying brutal shark 'em up Maneater.

He's got credits on some of the studio's best-loved games, from Baldur's Gate 2 through Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic to Dragon Age: Origins and the Mass Effect trilogy. He was BioWare's general manager for several years, but left the company in 2017 following the release of the less-regarded Mass Effect: Andromeda. New survival sim Nightingale is his first early access project, and it's certainly been a learning experience, with Flynn obliged to rethink many of the things he learned about gamedev during his BioWare days. Speaking to me ahead of Nightingale's launch, Flynn talked about the difficulty of making headway as a new developer in an industry where the most successful competing live service titles have effectively become part of the landscape - indeed, a force of "gravity".

Last night I tried to host a Helldivers 2 co-op mission and the "ready up" button froze up. I spammed it in a panic while the randos in my voice channel fumed at the delay. Then I popped us out of the drop pods, attempted to quit the game in embarrassment, and the PC promptly crashed. Another blow for managed democracy!

I'm hoping that the ready up problem is one of the "various UI issues [that] may appear when the game interacts with servers" which Arrowhead are addressing in a future Helldivers 2 patch. Before that, there's patch 1.000.10, which fixes PC quickplay match-making bugs, gets rid of a crash issue when displaying mission rewards, and tunes civilian extraction mission difficulty, amongst other things. It's live now, and the full changelog is below.

Disney Epic Mickey Rebrushed Remake Arriving on Switch

The Wii game Epic Mickey will return, this time with a Disney Epic Mickey Rebrushed Switch remake. THQ Nordic will release it sometime in 2024.

The initial trailer appeared at the 4:57 mark of the February 2024 Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase. The trailer doesn't show too much about the remake. We get to see the updated cinematics when Mickey uses Yen Sid's magic paintbrush and causes trouble for the Wasteland area. Because of his meddling, he then needs to head into the Wasteland to areas inspired by places at Disney World and Disney Land to fix what went wrong. Both Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, who also appears prominently in the sequel, and the inky Shadow Blot Mickey helped create face him every step of the way.

You can see the Disney Epic Mickey remake at about the five minute mark in the showcase below:

The announcement didn't go over how the Wii-exclusive controls and features will work with the remake. However, as a reminder, people would use paint and thinner to alter the environment and progress.

Disney Epic Mickey Rebrushed will come to the Nintendo Switch in 2024. The original game is available on the Wii.

Unicorn Overlord Demo

A demo for Unicorn Overlord is now available from the Nintendo Switch eShop. The announcement was made during the February 2024 Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase.

In a short trailer showcasing a host of gameplay features from Unicorn Overlord, Atlus also confirmed that a demo was coming to the Nintendo eShop alongside the presentation. Save data from the demo will carry over to the full game when it releases in March 2024. The demo appears to be exclusive to the Switch, with no news on it arriving for other systems.

Here's the official trailer from Atlus going over the announcement and bringing up what people can expect from the newly released trial:

Unicorn Overlord is the latest game from Vanillaware, a respected RPG developer whose works include GrimGrimoire, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim and Dragon's Crown. Unicorn Overlord is a strategy RPG with up to 60 playable characters. It's also apparently going to be one of the developer's biggest games. The last title it made with some strategic elements was 13 Sentinels, which had real-time battles along with its adventure gameplay.

Unicorn Overlord will release on March 8, 2024 for the Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and Xbox Series X/S. A demo is available now for Nintendo Switch.

Mother 3 in Nintendo Switch Online Japan

Nintendo revealed in the Japanese February 2024 Nintendo Direct that it is releasing Mother 3 via the Nintendo Switch Online's Game Boy Advance game lineup "today." The trailer starts at the 23:15 mark in the video, and it lasts for approximately one minute.

Mother 3 is the third—and the latest to date—entry in the RPG series that is alternatively known in the West as Earthbound. HAL Laboratory developed the game with Brownie Brown, and Nintendo released it for Game Boy Advance in Japan in April 2006. But while the first two Mother / Earthbound games have received Western localizations, Nintendo has still yet to localize the third entry as of early 2024.

Even though the February 2024 Nintendo Direct was touted as a Partner Showcase edition that focuses on third-party games, Nintendo still showcased the first-party title in the Japanese video. Shortly after publishing the Direct, Nintendo also uploaded a stand-alone trailer for the Nintendo Switch Online release of Mother 3:

The Game Boy Advance RPG Mother 3 is now available for Nintendo Switch via the Japanese Nintendo Switch Online subscription. The original game is available on the GBA in Japan. There's no word on if we will see it in other regions.

Shin Megami Tensei: Vengeance Shin Megami Tensei V Complete Edition PS4 and PC Ports Coming

One of the Atlus games appearing at the February 2024 Nintendo Direct was Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. The Nintendo Switch exclusive launched in 2021, and this is an updated version for the Switch, PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X that will arrive on June 21, 2024.

SMT V is the latest entry in the modern day RPGs. Following an earthquake, players' ordinary high school avatar ends up in a decimated, desert version of Tokyo. It's then that players become the Nahobino, fusing together with a god named Aogami to become an entirely new entity. They then end up working with a government agency called Bethel to learn more about what's going on and attempt to save humanity. Like other entries in the series, your actions and alignment can determine the fate of the world.

Here's the first trailer:

We'll learn even more about it soon. At 6:30am PT/9:30am ET, there will be a dedicated showcase in Japan going over the title.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR0uUuxsE74&ab_channel=atlustube

Over the last few years, Atlus has consistently and regularly released SMT entries worldwide. For example, the HD Remaster of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne showed up worldwide on the PS4, Switch, and PC. The same happened with SMT IV and its Apocalypse follow-up for the Nintendo 3DS.

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance will come to the Nintendo Switch on June 21, 2024. The original game is immediately available on the Nintendo Switch worldwide.

tales of arise streaming

Bandai Namco has lifted the streaming restrictions that were in place for Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn. Players will be able to upload content from all parts of the game now.

The rule regarding streaming and content creation based on the Beyond the Dawn DLC for Tales of Arise went into place on February 21, 2024. However, people should still put some sort of spoiler warning either in the thumbnail, the beginning of the video, or in the video description. This goes for screenshots as well. Companies usually ask this from fans even after they lift streaming bans so that players who are starting the game later or haven't gotten as far yet will not spoil themselves on accident.

Beyond the Dawn is the post-game DLC for Tales of Arise. It introduces new character Nazamil, though she is not a playable character. While the DLC content takes place after the game, players are free to start it before they beat the main Tales of Arise story. Since you can't use your own characters from the base game for the DLC, you won't have to worry about their level or equipment.

Tales of Arise and the Beyond the Dawn DLC are readily available on the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, Xbox Series X, and Xbox One.
