Starfield speedrunners discover a new skip in the humblest of places

In December, Wizards of the Coast committed to not using AI art in Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons and Dragons, saying it requires its artists, writers, and other creative contributors «to refrain from using AI generative tools» to create its products. Despite that, MtG fans are accusing the company of using AI to create the backdrop for a promotional image of new cards—something WotC flatly denies.

VALORANT Episode 8 Act 1 is dropping January 10th and brings, for the first time since launch, a new gun. The Outlaw is the new weapon in the latest season that brings a new sniper rifle into play. Here’s everything you need to know about the Outlaw and the newest season of VALORANT.

The Guardian Australia published an investigation several months ago into a crypto scheme-slash-scam called HyperVerse, a fund that used major celebrity endorsements to attract millions of dollars from small investors before collapsing. Blockchain Global went bust owing $58 million USD in 2021, but now there's a rather classic fraudster sting in the tail: The CEO who promoted this scheme doesn't seem to be a real person.

Starfield was easily one of the more anticipated games that was released last year. For years, Bethesda had slowly teased this new RPG IP being developed. Initially, the game was meant to be a title launch across both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles alongside the PC platform. However, that quickly changed when Microsoft acquired Bethesda when they purchased ZeniMax Media. As a result, we now have an Xbox-exclusive franchise from the folks behind The Elder Scrolls and Fallout. But being that this is such a massive RPG, there were bound to be some issues fans would uncover.

The nominees for the New York Game Awards 2024 were announced yesterday, with Baldur's Gate 3 taking six nominations.

One of the things I really don't get about Starfield is the whole mech situation. Mechs are everywhere. There's a bunch of lore about mechs being used in the Colony Wars that took place decades earlier. There are mechs you can look at in factories and junkyards and museums. There was even a shot of a player walking past a mech shown in one of Starfield's early gameplay trailers, and an animated trailer heavily featured them.

Followers of the movie release calendar just can’t get a moment’s peace: As soon as COVID-19-era disruptions were smoothed out and production pipelines mostly restored in 2023, a lengthy two-guild strike threw everything out of whack again. Delays, shifts, and cancellations galore added to the usual mix of theatrical releases and (fewer, but still notable) direct-to-streaming productions.

In a shocking development, the American magazine, the New Republic has crowned X owner Elon Musk as ‘The Scoundrel of the Year'. In a long article liberally seeded with choice name-calling, the magazine charted out the actions and decisions made by the billionaire in 2023 that got his this dubious award. The New Republic said, “He proved this year that he's not just evil but deeply stupid too”. This comes after Musk made the headlines recently for posting anti-semitic comments on X, which led to multiple advertisers boycotting the platform and also using expletives during a live interview.

City State Entertainment, the team behind the kickstarted game Camelot Unchained has been suspiciously silent over the past couple months. The team usually puts out a recap of the month, which includes their progress gains, but had missed their November highlights, and hasn’t put out a live stream in months.

MultiVersus is coming back at some point. We know that much, but we still don't have a very good idea as to when, with only a tentative release date of "Early 2024" to look forward to. Thankfully, it seems like the wait for an official update is almost over, as MultiVersus developer Player First Games has teased that we'll finally get some more news "in the coming months".

The Finals has hit 10 million players worldwide, just 15 days after its stealth launch.

The viral puzzle game hit Suika Game has received a new update on Nintendo Switch, which adds a festive background theme as well as a fresh tune to match and merge fruits to.
