[ad_1] Just as ancient civilizations around the world independently invented boats, separate sects of the internet are reaching a shared conclusion as they watch Twitter’s multi-week tailspin: Elon Musk’s self-inflicted meltdown is a lot like the petty forum implosions many of us lived through in the age before social media. “Elon Musk goes down in…

[ad_1] Grab a bucket. Stop drop and roll. Dive into a river (even though it’s filled with electric eels). Hunt: Showdown is burning. Today the game’s German developer Crytek has torched portions of Hunt: Showdown’s three maps, Stillwater Bayou, Lawson Delta, and DeSalle. For the next 24 hours, fixed areas within these maps are set…

[ad_1] Spoilers follow for Midnight Suns’ ending, naturally. Midnight Suns is the first truly great superhero game since, well, Insomniac released several good Spiders-Men this year, so not that long, I guess.

[ad_1] The Stained Soil locations quest is the first thing that truly stumped me in Midnight Suns. It’s not exactly an Easter Egg hunt: you’re looking for evidence of the remains of witches killed by Hiram Shaw, the cruel Reverend of Salem in the Marvel universe. Had I unlocked enough of the Abbey locations to…

[ad_1] There are 12 Midnight Suns characters, and though you can make best friends with all of them through the many hangouts and conversations that punctuate the campaign, you’ll face tougher choices putting together a three-hero kickball team that can defeat Hydra. You’ll want to use each of Midnight Suns’ heroes on at least a…

[ad_1] Before Hunt: Showdown’s 1.10 patch even hit test servers yesterday, players were already scheming about the terrible things they might be able to do with the game’s new toy: a remote-controlled flying beetle that can be used to spot enemies.
