     How to get Falling Water in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Disney Dreamlight Valley Falling Water sounds like it might be some strange and mystical item, but it's actually far more simple than it sounds. Combine it with a mysterious Ice Heart - which is less ominous than it sounds, and Merlin can help you upgrade your watering can.

Your tools are possibly the most important items in any life sim, allowing you to farm, mine, grow crops, and more. In Dreamlight Valley though, upgrading your royal tools in the Disney game is essential for removing obstacles like large brain coral and tree stumps, allowing you to pass between biomes with ease in order to reach materials and Dreamlight Valley animals in otherwise inaccessible areas. Specifically, the watering can upgrade allows you to destroy the giant mushrooms blocking your entry from half of the Glade of Trust.

     Genshin Impact tier list October 2022: the best characters in 3.1

Looking for a Genshin Impact tier list? There are currently 56 Genshin Impact characters available (not including Nilou who arrives in the latter half of the Genshin Impact 3.1 update), so there's no shortage of candidates for your dream team. But with so many different weapons, elementals, talents, ascension bonuses, and constellations upgrades, finding your favourites 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. That being said, if your favourite character is in C tier or below, you may struggle to get past some of the more challenging Spiral Abyss floors. Don't worry too much if your favourite character is on one of the lower tiers; you can still make it work with our recommended Genshin Impact builds.

In general, being on a high tier means that the character is the best Genshin Impact character in their role, is not too difficult to build, and performs well regardless of teammates. Being on a lower tier means that there are better alternatives, or the character needs a very specific build or team to shine. Just to note, the characters are not ranked within their own tier, and with that out of the way, let's take a look at our ranking of characters in our Genshin Impact tier list.

Tabletop game Moonbreaker is about collecting, painting, and battling teams of fanciful sci-fi figurines, but since its Early Access launch last week, it's taken some flak for its boss rush mode, Cargo Run. Currently, you have to spend one 'contract' from the in-game store to embark on a Cargo Run mode, but Unknown Worlds says it's ditching that system so players can use the PvE mode as much as they want.

     Where to find the secret door in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Unlocking the Dreamlight Valley Secret Door completes Mickey's friendship quests and reveals a room full of secrets and rewards. One of the best things about Disney Dreamlight Valley is its quests, which propel the story and give more purpose than your usual life sim. All of the Dreamlight Valley characters bestow quests upon you, all with a unique end goal, and finding the secret door is Mickey's. So where is it? And how do you unlock it?

As we've come to establish in the wholesome Disney game, you seem to be the only one powerful enough to do anything, and that includes finding and opening this secret door. With nothing but a riddle and a memory at hand, you'll need to gather the right materials to help Mickey find his secret room, where lots of treasures await you.

When is the Starfield release date? It was officially going to be in November 2022, but Bethesda recently announced a Starfield delay into 2023. Thankfully, we still got a pretty decent showing of the new open-world game at the Xbox and Bethesda showcase over the Summer.

We haven't really heard much about the game since, mind, which has left the Starfield community a bit thirsty for new information, but I'm sure Bethesda won't keep us in the dark for long.

     Genshin Impact events – all current and upcoming events

Want to know more about the upcoming Genshin Impact events? A new version of Genshin Impact arrives every six weeks, complete with new characters, quests, and events. It's difficult to keep track of which events are currently running and if there are any new ones coming soon, so here's a schedule for all current and upcoming Genshin Impact events.

There are usually a number of Genshin Impact events running simultaneously, and they aren't just in-game events. When a new Genshin Impact character joins the game, the devs launch a web event at the same time - players learn about the latest characters through an interactive story told through a web browser. The rewards for completing different events range from in-game items like primogems and mora, to real life prizes like mouse mats and plushies.

Just like the Genshin Impact banners, most events are only available for a limited time, so it's worth participating as soon as you can. New events are usually added to Genshin Impact after an update, but it's worth keeping an eye out on this page as the devs do like to surprise the community.

Want to learn more about the Street Fighter 6 release date? We've known it exists for some time now, but we finally had a chance to look at some Street Fighter 6 gameplay at Sony's State of Play event. Street Fighter 5 was heavily criticised at launch for its lack of playable content outside of Versus mode and while this satisfied most high-level players, casual players found there was very little to keep them entertained.

Capcom has taken its time developing Street Fighter 6 to ensure they don't repeat the same mistakes again. It features a brand new single-player story mode which gives players a chance to explore Metro City as a custom fighter. The Street Fighter 6 release date isn't set to launch until next year at the earliest, but it's clear the fighting game is in a good place at this point in development.

Nintendo Pictures website

Nintendo has launched an official website for Nintendo Pictures, its visual media production company. The Japan-based game publisher revealed that the company will work on "unique and surprising" projects using Nintendo characters and properties. Furthermore, Nintendo Pictures will reportedly begin hiring new employees starting November 2022. [Thanks, Game Watch!]

The official homepage for Nintendo Pictures is separate from Nintendo's main website and features a message to fans at the beginning of the page. The message states, first and foremost, that Nintendo owns a 100% stake in Nintendo Pictures. Additionally, it states that the video production company's goal is to not only showcase Nintendo characters to a wide audience but also continue creating these works "across generations".

https://twitter.com/Nintendo/status/1576832742503124992?s=20&t=4PHoPH4amky1CKMNc8BQEg

Notably, the website also reveals that the production company was founded in 2011. That's because Nintendo Pictures was formerly Dynamo Pictures, which Nintendo purchased back in July 2022. The animation company previously worked on other media such as Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, and Final Fantasy XV. As such, the company's listed services include motion capture recording.

It's important to note that, while Nintendo Pictures does list itself as a video production company, this is not specific to film production. As such, it's unclear whether Nintendo Pictures will be part of production for the upcoming Mario film or other planned movies.

the witch's house mv

Dangen Entertainment has announced that indie cult classic The Witch's House MV will come out for the PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One on October 13, 2022. It will only be available as a digital purchase. This uses the MV version of the game, which has improved graphics and two new difficulty modes. [Thanks, Dengeki Gamer!]

In The Witch's House MV, you play as Viola. She enters a manor – the titular Witch's House – that uses puzzles in the place of locks, and has death lurking around literally every corner. The goal of the game is to escape the manor while solving the mystery of the Witch. The Witch's House features jumpscares and gore, and the developer heavily recommends that you play with headphones.

The Witch's House originally came out as a freeware horror game in 2012. MV is the remastered and paid version that came out in 2018. In the same vein as Ib (which will also come out for the Nintendo Switch for Spring 2023), The Witch's House is an RPG Maker horror game that has become popular and well-known through word of mouth.

The Witch's House MV is readily available on Windows PC. It will come out for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One on October 13, 2022.

gundam witch from mercury opening

The full version of the opening theme for Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury is now available on YouTube. It is YOASOBI's "The Blessing," and the music video heavily features Suletta and her Gundam. There is also a short story based on the song. You can read it from the official website for The Witch from Mercury. [Thanks, ryokutya2089!]

According to the YOASOBI Twitter account, the short story helps to further accentuate the lyrics of "The Blessing." The lyrics focus on the bond between Suletta and her mobile suit, Gundam Aerial. In the song, Aerial thinks about Suletta's past and present, and how they are always going to be together. It also details Aerial's wishes for her to make her own way through life, free from Elnora's influence.

You can watch the music video for the opening of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eytpBOkOFA

Ichiro Okouchi, who is in charge of the series composition and screenplay for The Witch from Mercury, wrote the short story. Its title translates loosely to "The Cradling Planet." Like the song, it is written from Gundam Aerial's perspective. It mostly features interactions with Suletta over the years. Aerial watches as Suletta matures from a young girl crying in his cockpit to a strong-willed pilot. Despite her doubts and Aerial's own trepidation about Suletta's mother, Suletta makes her decision to go to school and leave Mercury, with Aerial's blessings.

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury premiered on October 2, 2022 in Japan. It is simulcasting on Crunchyroll, as well as other services globally.
