After three years, Nintendo is finally removing the contentious "gacha pipe" from its popular mobile racer, Mario Kart Tour. The pipes, which players had to purchase with in-game "rubies" to get a chance at unlockable prizes, will be replaced with a new in-game store.

Earlier this week, a developer's Twitter thread about shady Steam curators who potentially lie to get free game codes went viral. In the thread, using a bit of a sting-like operation to support his suspicions, the dev theorized that these shady curators take game keys and sell them instead of using them to actually…

     A new Splitgate game is in development as 1047 Games moves on

A new Splitgate game is in development, FPS game developer 1047 Games announced in a blog post, but it means the current Splitgate won't be getting anything new after its upcoming season and won't be available on the Epic Games Store. Splitgate will exit early access on September 15 when the new season begins, but 1047 will avoid adding any substantial new features to the game. The plan is saving their previous goals and dreams for Splitgate for the new game, though the team will continue to maintain Splitgate's servers and refresh the in-game shop.

     How to unlock secret characters in Vampire Survivors

Want to know how to unlock secret characters in Vampire Survivors? When you start your first run you only have a handful of Vampire Survivors characters and a few weapons available. However, on each playthrough, more items, weapons, and characters unlock for you to use in future attempts.

These items are vital if you wish to use Vampire Survivor weapon evolutions to maximise a weapon's damage output for the best Vampire Survivors build. The game also locks new characters behind requirements, such as leveling up your gear to a certain threshold, finding items in a level, or slaying a quota of monsters. Later on, you can also find Arcana to give your weapons unique bonuses to annihilate your foes.

Some of these unlock conditions are vague and confusing, so we thought we'd list how you can get all of the Vampire Survivors characters, weapons, items, and levels. We also have a cheat code that you need to type to get another hidden vampire slayer and steps to access other secret characters.

     Vampire Survivors cheats

Want a list of all of the Vampire Survivors cheats? It seems like a cruel joke for the roguelike game to add cheat codes this late in development, but here we are. Patch 0.10.0 gave would-be vampire hunters a chance to enter some codes for powerful abilities. You can click on the Yellow Sign entry seven times to unlock this secret menu, but it will disappear not long afterwards.

To permanently unlock the Vampire Survivors cheats, you need to find the Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane, which you can obtain by slaying the Bone Orb in the Bone Zone. Once you pick this up, a new secrets menu will appear on the main menu. Not only can you enter cheats here, but you can also see the conditions for unlocking the hidden Vampire Survivors unlockable characters. Of course, you can also just enter codes to unlock them; we have the full list below.

     This Sims 4 bug is doing weird things to the Social Bunny app

A Sims 4 bug with the Social Bunny app is causing some confusion and frustration over how relationships work in the life game. Maxis and EA added the Social Bunny app alongside the High School Years expansion in an effort to streamline and enhance the game's social media experience, with new ways to communicate and interact with friends that should, ideally, make using social media more enjoyable and intuitive. And it does, to an extent, but there's a bit of an unexpected problem when it comes to watching these relationships blossom.

It's been a busy day at PAX West, but nothing has been as wild as the Gearbox Software panel. Randy Pitchford made a return to the Seattle stage to let us know what's coming up for Gearbox, but not without some shenanigans first.

After a classic Randy magic trick, a proud display of lock-down Lego builds, and a chaotic bidding war where he auctioned off the literal shirt off his back (which an audience member bought for an eye-watering $1200) we finally got to see some fresh New Tales From The Borderlands gameplay and had a lovely chat with director of production, James Lopez. Watch the video below for the interview in its entirety - it's a good'un!

Usopp in One Piece Odyssey - will appear at Bandai Namco booth in TGS 2022

Bandai Namco has opened its Tokyo Game Show 2022 webpage, which details its title lineup and live stream schedule. The company has been known as one of the major publishers to have a large booth with many self-published games besides Square Enix. While it had an unusually small showcase in 2021, the return of a public physical venue in 2022 also enabled Bandai Namco to bring a large number of games to the event as it usually does.

The upcoming RPG One Piece Odyssey will be the main highlight from Bandai Namco in TGS 2022. Its stream will run on September 15, 2022, at 22:00 JST (9 AM ET). This also means it will take up Bandai Namco's slot on the Tokyo Game Show 2022 official channel. The company also has a mysterious stream scheduled at the end of the event on Sunday, September 18, 2022.

Here's the schedule for Bandai Namco's TGS 2022 streams known as of this writing. All times listed are in Japan Standard Time (UTC+9).

Thursday, September 15, 2022

  • 19:30 - 20:30: Gundam games (SD Gundam Battle Alliance, Battle Operation 2, G Generation Eternal, U.C. Engage, and Gundam Breaker Mobile)
  • 22:00 - 22:50: One Piece Odyssey

Friday, September 16, 2022

  • 18:00 - 19:00: Dragon Ball games (The Breakers and Kakarot)
  • 20:00 - 21:00: Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher
  • 22:30 - 23:30: Tales Of series

Sunday, September 18, 2022

  • 16:00 - 17:25: Sword Art Online games (Alicization Lycoris and the ongoing mobile game Variant Showdown)
  • 18:30 - 20:00: That Time I Get Reincarnated as a Slime: ISEKAI Memories
  • 21:00 - 22:00: To be announced

The stream schedule does not reveal the full extent of Bandai Namco's title lineup at TGS 2022. Its physical booth will also have playable demos of Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival, Doraemon Story of Seasons: Friends of the Great Kingdom, Ace Angler: Fishing Spirits, Park Beyond, and LEGO Brawls.

Even though the lineup is already extensive on its own, Gundam Evolution is notably missing from the Gundam game list. Bandai Namco will air a separate program dedicated to the first-person shooter game ahead of TGS 2022, on Tuesday, September 6, 2022, at 22:00 JST (9 AM ET). The pre-recorded Mission Briefing video will reveal new information about Gundam Evolution.

Tokyo Game Show 2022 will take place on September 15-18, 2022.

     Amd Ryzen Render SplashIf you're in the market for a shiny new CPU for your gaming PC, there's a sale currently going for the AMD Ryzen 5800X3D. At the time of writing, you can buy the Ryzen 5800X3D from antonline's eBay store for just $365 USD. In short, this is one of the best gaming CPUs you can buy right now, and that's thanks to a unique new design. At first glance, the 5800X3D may appear similar to the 5800X. It wields eight cores and 16 threads, however, it trades lower clock speeds for a massive L3 cache increase. And as the reviews show, games love cache for boosting framerates.   CPU-intensive games like Microsoft Flight Simulator, Cities: Skylines, and Cyberpunk 2077 would certainly benefit from a beefy unit such as this. More for less It's known that gaming PCs aren't cheap compared to consoles, but the ability to upgrade individual parts offers more long term value. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D is a perfect example of how you can reinvigorate the performance of ...

     Ssd Price Drop Q3 2022 sale deal best pc gamingIf you're in the market for a new SSD, we have some good news. It sounds like there could be some major price drops for SSDs in the second half of Q3 2022. This is according to a new report from TrendForce that was posted yesterday. Interestingly, demand not meeting the usual peak projections could be the cause of the price drops. It was already looking dicey for NAND flash manufacturers, as a wafer contract price drops between 15-20% were projected before the latest estimates. Those figures are now up to 30-35%.   Familiar culprits This situation really stems from the shake-up caused by the global pandemic. In 2020, the demand for at-home computing skyrocketed, which led to a huge amount of demand from consumers. In turn, this led to manufacturers expanding production to keep up with the increased interest. However, demand has sharply declined throughout 2022. A lot of manufacturers now have excess supply because no one wants to buy. The most obvious example of this is how ...
