Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Tuesday, September 9, 2025 5:54 PM  When was the last time you turned the radio on? I imagine for some of you younger readers, the answer is probably never. To be clear I'm not judging you here if that is the case, or even if it's just been a while, it's a format that feels hard to reckon with when its main point - listening to a range of pieces of music - is made borderline moot in the era of streaming services. All of which makes Omega Point, a game where you control a mech but the only thing you can do in it is change which radio station you're listening to, all the more interesting. A severe epilepsy warning is needed for this game as it has a lot of flashing images. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Tuesday, September 9, 2025 4:28 PM  Earlier this year, Bungie revealed a Destiny 2 expansion that I can still only describe now as a head scratcher. It's called Renegades, a Star Wars inspired expansion (quite literally as it's been made in collaboration with Lucasfilm) that was shown off properly for the first time in a livestream earlier today. Oh, and there's a release date for it too! |

Where the survival game has a sort of Stalker-but-you're-in-a-car kind of feel, this DLC looks like it's fully leaning into some horror vibes. The first half of the trailer has some real '70s era, found footage horror vibes, which feels laser targeted at my artistic proclivities. |

The Seattle Mariners home game against the Los Angeles Angels this weekend is the Super Mario Day event with a Nintendo giveaway. The game will take place at T-Mobile Park and start at 1:10pm PT on September 14, 2025. The first 15,000 ticket holders will get a free themed hat . Also, after the game is over kids under the age of 14 can head onto the field and run the bases.
Nintendo and the Mariners shared an official photo of the free baseball cap that will be given away, highlighting the Mario image on the front. Catcher Cal Raleigh is on the left, and outfielder Julio Rodriquez is on the right.
Tickets are still available for the event. The lowest price ones right now seem to be $24.50, and the most expensive ones seem to be $92. The T-Mobile Pen will open at about 11:10am PT, and the other gates should be open by about 11:40am PT. Since the hats are limited, it's probably best to get there as soon as possible to guarantee you get one.
As a reminder, 2025 is the first year in which the Nintendo patch appears on the Seattle Mariners' jerseys. That started appearing on the players' uniforms at the season opener game on March 27, 2025.

As part of the Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis second anniversary celebration, there's a FFVII Advent Children event, and the Cloud and adult Sephiroth swords and gear costumes are now live in-game. There's also a dedicated trailer for Sephiroth's new attire from the movie. As a reminder, these new items only apply to the latest version of Sephiroth added, known as "original" in the game, and you can't them with the young version that debuted in The First Soldier storyline.
The new FFVII Ever Crisis banner features four swords and two pieces of gear, with only some of the Cloud and Sephiroth adult version items inspired by the Advent Children movie. Cloud's Fusion Sword, which is a Limit Break Weapon, and Ragnarok Ultimate Weapon are present. As for Sephiroth, his Kikuichimonji and Shiranui Limit Break swords are available. The gear are the Cloud AC Mode costume and Sephiroth Corruptor of the Planet outfit.
To make things easier, here is a full list of all items available and their special abilities/Limit Breaks:
You can also see the full adult Sephiroth Corruptor of the Planet costume from FFVII Advent Children below. He uses the Kikuichimonji Shadow Disaster attack in the footage.
The second wave of FFVII Advent Children items will involve equipment for Tifa, Yuffie, and the younger version of Sephiroth. He'll dress as Kadaj.
There are more Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis crossovers coming immediately after the anniversary, though all of them are showing up after the FFVII Advent Children event. One will involve FFXIII, and that will entail a Lightning boss fight and costumes for Aerith and Tifa.
Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis is available on PCs and mobile devices, FFVII Advent Children is available worldwide on DVD, Blu-ray, and UMD, and the crossover event between the two is live in FFVII Ever Crisis and will remain until October 23, 2025.

HoYoVerse teased a new possible 3.7 Honkai: Star Rail character, showing off a playable version of Cyrene alongside the 3.6 Special Program stream announcement. She'll be a five-star when she debuts. In the meantime, the next stream will air at 4:30am PT/7:30am ET on September 12, 2025, and it will go over the March 7th alt Evernight and new Dan Heng Permansor Terrae alt ahead of their Honkai: Star Rail appearance.
Cyrene is a Chrysos Heir of Amphoreus, and she will be a five-star unit. She'll be a Remembrance character. When she attacks, she'll deal Ice damage. As with many people in that faction, she's an expy for one of the Honkai Impact 3rd Thirteen Flame-Chasers. Specifically, she's a reference to Elysia.
Here's the official teaser art for her playable form:
While the March 7th Evernight version and Dan Heng Permansor Terrae alt still aren't available, we do know what they'll be like when they launch. Each one is a five-star character. She's a Remembrance character who will deal Ice damage. He's a Preservation unit who will deal Physical damage.
Here's the placeholder for the Honkai: Star Rail Special Program stream for 3.6. In addition to the new characters, there will be hints about the new story missions as the Trailblaze Mission in Amphoreus continues.
Honkai: Star Rail is available for the PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and Cyrene is on the way as a playable character in 3.7. The 3.6 Special Program stream for the game will air at 4:30am PT/7:30am ET on September 12, 2025.

Spider Strings is a creepy-looking item in Hollow Knight Silksong that can be extremely useful as you approach the endgame content.
Spider Strings is a yellow tool in nature that can be purchased directly from a trader. But let's first look at what it does, and whether buying it is worth it.
Table of contents
How does Spider Strings work in Hollow Knight Silksong?
The function of Spider Strings is apparent from its official in-game description.
In simpler terms, it provides a passive boost to the effects of your Needolin. This is exceptionally important for the late-game and endgame activities. Whether you can perfectly time your attacks or rely on wild slashes, empowering your Needolin always has certain benefits.
Let's find out how you can obtain the tool.
How to get Spider Strings in Hollow Knight Silksong?
The first task is to complete the Wandering Merchant Wish. You'll need to help a roaming trader who will allow you to get new items in certain Pharloom shops. Next, you'll have to go to the Choral Chambers in the Songclave region.
You'll find Jubilana Merchant there, who offers Spider Strings among many other items. You can obtain the Spider Strings by exchanging 320 Rosaries. However, you'll only find the item after clearing the Wandering Merchant Wish. Until you've cleared the quest, the item won't be added to Jubilana's stock.
Once you have purchased the item, you must equip it from your inventory to activate its effects.
