Dance News, Tips, Tricks & Ideas

Everyone loves the Dreamcast. Okay, when the console needed people to buy it, it seemed like nobody loved the Dreamcast, but everyone loves the Dreamcast now. It was Sega at their best. The Genesis had some identity issues, and the Saturn compounded on them, but the Dreamcast presented a confident and focused Sega as they plunged toward the spot on the ground where they were about to leave a crater.

The season is about to change, and with it, we have some changes to Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga. The game’s upcoming Legends DLC will launch in time to join the fall playlist, which Freedom Games has showcased in a new trailer.

Magic is incredibly powerful in Baldur’s Gate 3, with higher-level magic becoming over the top in the best way possible. Despite bigger numbers often meaning better results, some Cantrips manage to maintain their usefulness throughout the game. These iddy-biddy spells pack a lot of bang for their buck. 

Capcom has released the first big update for its recently-released mech dinosaur game Exoprimal.

Everyone loves t-shirts—especially when they're free! Seek out vendors located throughout Azeroth to get yours during this micro-holiday.

What is there to say about Fortnite that hasn’t been said before by us or by other writers and content creators? It’s the game that shouldn’t have been a big hit and yet came to define a gaming generation. Even now, years after the game came out, everyone is excited about what it will do next and who might show up in the game. Its “skin game” is legendary for all the right reasons. Regardless of where the franchise is media-wise, Epic Games will find a way to collaborate in some fashion. Fast forward to now, and WWE is apparently on the brink of a big collab with the title.

If you're still struggling to take down Ganondorf in Tears of the Kingdom, Recent-Marsupial-65 might have a solution--fence him up and wail on him with electric spikes. Basically, torture him 'till he drops dead. Who said the Master Sword was necessary?

We've seen Elden Ring played in some pretty wild ways before, but for those of us watching from home, it doesn't get much more pleasant than this. Twitch streamer Perrikaryal has just figured out how to play FromSoft's latest game with her voice, hitting different notes to perform certain actions.

It seems like there's no shortage of chemistry in Luca Guadagnino's sizzling tennis drama Challengers (which you can see a sneak peek of above, courtesy of our exclusive image).

Murder has been comfort TV fodder for almost as long as there has been television. Standards like Murder She Wrote and Columbo and modern homages like Poker Face offer predictable rhythms and familiar characters — and the promise that the perp will always get caught in the end. All of those shows star detectives, oddballs, and misfits who I love to watch for hours on end, but none of those characters feel like my friends. The stars of Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building, though? I want them to get along with each other (and me, if they were so inclined) maybe even more than I want to see them solve a murder.

Quordle 561 answer for August 8: If you were looking forward to a straightforward puzzle, then think again. The game has brought back one of its infamous tricks and it has increased the difficulty level of today's puzzle significantly. The double-letter challenge is back. Double letters mean words that have a repetition of one of the letters. These are tricky to solve because the player would not know whether they need to find more clues or repeat one of the letters to find the answer. And this confusion often takes away their attempts. So, if you want a comfortable weekend puzzle, you need to check these Quordle hints and clues. And if you need more assistance, just scroll to the bottom for the solution.

Good Omens season 2 was a cozy, almost low-stakes romp — but one that ended in bittersweet, painful heartbreak. If you, like me, are still trying to patch up your broken heart, there is some good news while we still wait for an official season 3 announcement. Bloopers for season 2 are now out, along with some extra bonus content, like behind-the-scenes clips, extended scenes, and concept art.

The Fallout Deathclaw remains one of the most fearsome enemies in all RPG games. Big, fast, terrifying to look at, and able to kill you in just a couple of slashes, the iconic bipedal reptile is the scourge of Fallout 3, New Vegas, and Fallout 4 players, turning every journey through Bethesda’s wastelands into a petrifying dance with death. Now, as we await both the Starfield release date and the Fallout 5 release date, the creator of the Deathclaw for both FO3 and FO4 comments on a very different side of the fandom. Turns out not everyone is afraid of the Deathclaw. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Baldur's Gate 3's character creator is one of the more detailed ones out there, giving you a whole range of customization options that let you create the D&D character of your dreams. It also allows you to customize your character's junk, something that a lot of streamers seemingly didn't know when diving into the game when it launched out of early access earlier this week.

Insomniac's first two Spider-Man titles were chock full of suits, but two games aren't enough to unpack Spider-Man's extensive 60-year history, so there is plenty left for Insomniac to use. That's what fans have been discussing on the subreddit.

You would be forgiven for being a little tired of Diablo 4; after about 200 hours over the last year, between betas and the preseason launch in June, I know I am.

Back in 2015, before writer-director James Gunn was at the center of every superhero universe, he revealed something about Guardians of the Galaxy fans have hung onto ever since: The little dance that baby Groot does in his pot at the end of the movie was modeled on Gunn himself. “I was too embarrassed for anyone to be there,” he told Yahoo, “so I made everyone leave the room and I set up a camera and I videotaped myself dancing. Then I sent the video to the animators and had them animate over that. I begged them not to leak the video!”

Larian Studios included a little surprise in its end-user license agreement for Baldur’s Gate 3, provided that players take the time to read all of the fine print before accepting the terms. It’s a bit tongue-in-cheek — something we can’t believe their lawyers allowed — but perhaps the studio was working with Wolfram and Hart on this particular provision.

Greetings, Travelers. This is the Genshin Impact dev team, and we’re proud to announce that Genshin Impact Version 4.0, As Light Rain Falls Without Reason, will arrive on Aug 16. In today’s blog, we’d like to take you to Fontaine, the upcoming fifth nation of Teyvat, where culture, art, and technology flourish under an intricate system of justice and trial.

Recently, players discovered that the Dark Dance Malignant Heart had some unintended side effects — namely, it was self-inflicting harmful status effects such as Vulnerable because it treated using Health for a Resource as self-damage. Thankfully, Blizzard has a fix for Patch 1.1.1! Dark Dance Self Inflicting Vulnerable Official Patch 1.1.1 Notes

Throwing an hour of light comedy into the middle of a 10-episode arc with galactic-level stakes could derail an entire season, but Star Trek: Strange New Worlds dances gracefully from week to week between courtroom drama, time-travel romance, and its latest wild swing: a musical episode.

Disney Dreamlight Valley is the ultimate cozy experience, merging the simulation game genre with our beloved childhood characters. If you’ve ever played Dreamlight Valley, then you know that it provides countless hours of town-building fun alongside some of the cutest Valley residents yet. From iconic faces such as Mickey Mouse to more recent fan favorites like Vanellope, DDV offers no shortage of wholesome content. If you’re like me, then you adore princesses and will be overjoyed to hear that Belle from Beauty and the Beast is joining the game’s ever-expanding cast.

Quordle 555 answer for August 2: Is it necessary to check the hints and clues? Not really. In fact, some pro players insist on solving the game all on their own. But since Quordle is also a social game, as you can share your results on social media and messaging apps, there is pressure to perform well. And on those few days when you know you cannot give your hundred percent to the game due to time constraints, sickness, or any other reason, these hints and clues can come in handy and help you still hold on to your streak. It is also helpful for new players as they have not developed a sound strategy to beat the game and it helps them keep afloat. With that being said, check out these Quordle hints and clues to easily get to the solutions. And if you want some additional help, just scroll to the bottom for the answer.

In a bid for the growing number of warfare-centric multiplayer games with massive numbers of combatants taking to the field all at once to impale one another, Warhaven hopes make a name for itself with large maps, an impressive roster of warriors, and objective matches that have armies scrambling to overrun one another in an elaborate game of tug-of-war. I recently spent several hours with the team at Nexon and some of my fellow IGN sweaty tryhards as we tried desperately to maim one another while slinging as much trash talk as humanly possible. The result was a few entertaining hours that were complete pandemonium from beginning to end.

Illfonic has dropped the third free DLC pack for Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed today. It comes with a new type of ghost based on a Real Ghostbusters figure, a new level, and some new customization options from the 2016 reboot.

Suits executive producer Gene Klein has weighed on the likelihood of a revival series, following the show's newfound success on Netflix. 

A Twitch streamer has finished Elden Ring without taking a hit while using a saxophone controller.

The arms race to beat Elden Ring using the most mystifying input method possible continues. A dance pad? Passé. A guitar? Easy mode. Your actual, literal brain? Well we all beat Elden Ring with our brains, didn't we? Most of us just had a gamepad or keyboard as an intermediary.

The "world's first no-hit run of Elden Ring using a non-traditional controller" has been accomplished using an electric saxophone.

Elden Ring has been on store shelves for well over a year now, and during that time, Souls fans have used pretty much everything including dance mats, goldfish, and their own brainwaves to take down the game's toughest obstacles. It all became a competition to see who could beat the game with the most ridiculous peripherals they could, though only now has someone come forward to claim they've done it without being hit.

When my colleague, PC Gamer staff writer Morgan Park, checked out Gloomwood's early access release toward the end of last year, he found it in an awkward position⁠—the Thief/Bloodborne-inspired immersive sim was already looking like a winner, but there was barely any room to stretch your legs in its gothic nightmare. I'm here today to say there's a lot more meat on the bone now, it kicks ass, and it's definitely time to get into Gloomwood.

A seasoned wizard who infects her foes with the irresistible urge to dance. A high-level sorcerer who sows the seeds of chaos in battle with strategically placed portals. A bard that wields the psionic powers of a mindflayer (a.k.a illithid). Who will you become at the pinnacle of your power in Baldur’s Gate 3? That’s completely up to you.

In many ways, video games are rooted in fan hype and expectations. After all, a video game developer hasn’t done their jobs if fans aren’t excited about their games in one form or another. Even if it’s just a “casual excitement,” that could lead to a game sale later. The flip side of that coin, however, is that if the developer fails to deliver on that hype/excitement, the gaming community will rebel against them and call them out for what they did. We’ve seen many examples of that over the last few years, and many fear Starfield will join those ranks.

Like other FromSoftware action RPGs, Elden Ring is notorious for its brutal difficulty, with a no-damage run that is not impossible but a challenging feat to accomplish. But one Twitch streamer managed to conquer this challenge with an unconventional controller: an electric saxophone.

Disney’s 2023 movie Haunted Mansion is packed to the brim with ghosts lifted directly from the theme park ride. The notorious Hatbox Ghost, played by Jared Leto in the film, has a huge role, as does psychic-in-a-crystal-ball Madame Leota (Jamie Lee Curtis). But other, subtler ride appearances include the portraits on the walls and the ghosts dangling from the dining room’s chandelier. Some of the ghosts are allies for protagonists Ben (LaKeith Stanfield) and Gabbie (Rosario Dawson) and their friends. Others are genuine threats. Most, though, are just there for the #vibes.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem has only started preview screenings, but it’s already on track to be August’s biggest theater hit — and that isn’t lost on parent company Paramount Pictures. This week, the studio greenlit not just a sequel film, but also a two-season animated Paramount Plus series, Tales of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, that will reportedly serve as a “bridge” between the two flicks.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s next Tera Raid is coming in full swing with Normal-type Rillaboom. This grass monkey will be moving to the beat of his own drum as trainers attempt to take down this powerful starter.

Intel has categorically walloped a rumour that it was planning to hike consumer CPU prices across the board. It was claimed earlier this week that the company had sent a letter to some distributors warning of the price rise and blaming it, among other things, on the need to invest in new fabs and restructure.

A new Diablo IV patch is now live, bringing a selection of fixes that improve the experience not only in the Eternal realm but also in the Season of the Malignant.

Geralt of Rivia, revered monster slayer and banquet-booer, is annoyed. He remains convinced the sorcerers and sorceresses at the ball are hellbent on not-so-shyly making fun of him, a mutant and a freak. Still, he is able to recognize the tension he senses comes from something more — something far more sinister.

Wordle 768 answer for July 27: A fun aspect of these daily puzzles is that just one word can bring up so many emotions. For many, the thematic words of the game have been a source of laughter and joy. And today's word has the potential to make you nostalgic, especially if you grew up in the '80s and the ‘90s. But first, you need to solve today's puzzle to find the word of the day. You need to be a jumble-letter champion in order to beat the game today. But if you're not, you should check our Wordle hints and clues. They will ensure that you do not get stuck. And if they are not enough, just scroll to the bottom and check the solution.

Diablo 4 has a new patch out with a bunch of quality of life updates and fixes, one of which makes it less likely you'll unintentionally redeem your premium battle pass unlock.

A new Diablo 4 patch has arrived with a number of welcome fixes and bugs, including adjustments to the UI that will hopefully cut down on the number of unintentional premium battle pass activations. But there's one change it makes to the game that, to be blunt, I am very disappointed by.

There are dozens of unique items and weapons for you to find while exploring Remnant 2. The descriptions with many of them don’t always provide you with the full story, and you might have to figure out how to use them. One of the more unorthodox ones is the Plain Ribbon, which you can find while exploring Losomn.

Blizzard has released patch notes for a small update, including fixes for the Premium Battlepass Confirmation screen and various Malignant Powers! Players Accidentally Activating Premium Battle Pass Blizzard Patch Notes Blog

Real Barbie fans know that the iconic blond fashion doll has had a long cinematic career, decades before Greta Gerwig’s satirical live-action movie Barbie. Barbie’s movie roots started in 2001 with the direct-to-VHS feature Barbie in the Nutcracker, and she’s since gone on to star in 41 animated movies.

The Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event is all set to be held tomorrow, July 26, straight from Samsung's home turf, Seoul. And ahead of the event, the smartphone maker has taken over all the major digital hoardings in the Gangnam district and the Namsan Seoul Tower at Nam Mountain. The mini videos tease Samsung's new foldable smartphones, which are believed to be the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Galaxy Z Flip 5, both rumored to be announced at the event.

You sit down to game, boot up Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, and lay back while the pixelated crime fighters dance on the screen. Bliss. But something's missing, right? A night playing TMNT wouldn't be complete without your controllers oozing the smell of fresh pizza... right? A nice odour of gamer sweat and pepperoni to compliment the sidescrolling beat 'em-up action... right!?

Fast X director Louis Leterrier says he would love to make a Fortnite movie.

I'm a regular gym goer, but deep down I'm also a sweaty little gamer goblin who could easily sit at her PC for 18 hours grinding away in an MMO. Couple that with the fact I work from home, and it means some days I don't do a whole lot of stretching or exercise at all. Square Enix is clearly keeping track of all my daily activities, because it's just released an utterly bizarre exercise video composed entirely of Final Fantasy 14 emotes and action animations to get people away from their desks and doing some light movement.

EA Sports has pulled the curtain back on FC 24, its first post-FIFA football video game. You can check out IGN’s FC 24 hands-on preview to get an idea of how it feels to play, but there’s plenty more to discuss, including a raft of smaller changes and additions that combine to make a positive impression. Read on for 13 cool new details we noticed after our extended time with the game.

A few days ago, Larian Studios made headlines when one of the studio's writers told Fextralife that Baldur's Gate 3 would feature 17,000 variations of the ending. It was immediately clear that the claim couldn't be exactly taken at face value, as it would be completely impossible for any developer to craft 17K unique endings.

Baldur's Gate 3 recently made headlines when it was reported the game would have 17,000 ending variations. It's a claim that comes from an interview with one of the game's lead writers by YouTuber Fextralife, and related specifically to the differences which might flavour the more general core paths to the game's ending.

Starfield is almost here and, as such, Bethesda has revealed the Starfield PC requirements with minimum and recommended specs.

Baldur's Gate 3 is shaping up to be such a gigantic RPG experience that it's starting to make other developers nervous, with much digital ink being spilt over concern fans will come to expect the «anomaly» it represents. As an officially licensed Dungeons & Dragons product (if you didn't know, Baldur's Gate is the name of a specific city in D&D's Faerun) and carrying the weight of a legendary RPG series on its shoulders, expectations for this one are through the roof. And yet, developer Larian Studios keeps finding ways to exceed them, revealing the game has some 17,000 possible ending permutations.

Final Fantasy 14's Savage raids are pretty tough—they're focused, 8-player brawls with teeth that are learned like choreographed dances. One slip-up can spell doom for your whole crew, and dying is pretty common. What's less common is the series creator of Final Fantasy showing up to cheer you on while you're doing them.

Industry veterans from Robot Teddy and Foampunch have formed a new games company focusing on mixed-reality experiences, called Creature.

17,000. That's how many permutations of Baldur's Gate 3's ending you might come across, the result of hundreds of choices across dozens of hours of gameplay. Those constantly-branching narrative pathways are a cornerstone of tabletop D&D, but bringing them to life in a video game seems like an impossible task.
