Streamers have made significant contributions to numerous charities over time, as their prominence grew. They’ve organized individual streams and collaborative efforts to donate generously to worthy causes. For instance, the Immune Deficiency Foundation received half a million dollars from CDawgVA, while Asmongold nearly raised $400,000 for Ukraine.
2024 was a fantastic year for gaming, with some absolute gems dropping in July. I was hooked on “Borderlands 3”, “NHL 24”, and the addictive “Among Us”. However, it felt like a coin toss as to whether the following months would deliver another hit or miss.
The potential postponement of Patch 2.3 for Cyberpunk 2077 might have intensified the sense of disillusionment because, with a wider gap between its announcement and actual release, people had ample time to imagine and anticipate its features.
In the game Grounded 2, you gather Mite Fuzz by eliminating Lawn Mites. These tiny, red arthropods are among the initial creatures players meet upon choosing their character and exiting the Ominent facility. Once slain, each Lawn Mite leaves behind a single Mite Fuzz, which can be collected by interacting with its remains after it has been defeated.
Over time, many Dragon Ball video games have struggled to meet the high anticipation surrounding them. While I found moments of fun within these games, titles like Battle of Z, DBZ for Kinect, The Breakers, Ultimate Tenkaichi, and Extreme Butōden failed to reach even modest standards. The frequent releases often make new projects seem like repeats of past triumphs, even if the games excel in certain aspects (such as Raging Blast 2’s gameplay). Yet, occasionally, expectations merge with quality to produce exceptional Dragon Ball games.
The newest venture from Game Kitchen, creators of the critically acclaimed Blasphemous series, is titled Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound. This project was initially unveiled at The Game Awards in December 2024 and marks a return to the original 2D style for the popular 3D hack-and-slash franchise. Unlike previous installments, Ragebound introduces new protagonists, primarily Kenji Muzo and Kumori, instead of Ryu Hayabusa as the central character. Additionally, this game is set to release not only on current-gen and last-gen consoles but also on Xbox Game Pass on its launch day.
Instead of focusing on ascending a ladder, which is usually associated with moving upward, it’s crucial for players to think in the opposite direction when solving this puzzle.
In many comfortable games, the player’s character is often a blank slate with minimal background or involvement in the game’s universe before their arrival. The beginning of their journey in the town typically signifies the start of their life within the game. Sometimes, it might be hinted that the player’s character hails from another place, but this detail isn’t usually significant during gameplay. However, Tales of the Shire deviates from this pattern by linking its player-character to a distinct location within Middle-earth and thus, associating them with the happenings in the The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Discovering the Omni-Wrench doesn’t require much effort once you’re aware of its location and necessary items; however, for those unfamiliar with the setting and mechanics of Grounded 2, locating the needed resources might prove difficult.
Director Zach Cregger of “Weapons” fame is tirelessly working on reviving the “Resident Evil” film series. He’s shared some insights about his ideas for this horror game adaptation, but he also has a distinct project in mind – a script based on something related to Batman that he penned. In the past, Cregger hinted at this project, expressing hope it might become his cinematic endeavor following “Resident Evil”.
