The online shooter *Escape From Tarkov* is getting closer to its official 1.0 release after being in development since 2017. It will also be available on Steam, though it’s unclear if it will launch on November 15th, the same day as the 1.0 version. The developers, Battlestate Games, are sharing details about what players can anticipate when the game fully launches.
Dotcoms were “innovative,” he says. Sure, until they weren’t. Same with crypto. Bold visions of the future? Please. It’s just a fancy way of saying “I’m selling you a future where I’m rich and you’re not.” 🚀
For a long time, the story of Roger has consistently portrayed him as a hugely important character. But recently, as the flashback to the past began in the Elbaf arc of *One Piece*, some fans have started to favor another legendary figure from that time period, believing *they* deserve the recognition Roger has received. Let’s explore the reasons behind this shift in perspective.
Drag x Drive was revealed as an early Nintendo Switch 2 game, and its innovative use of motion controls with the new Joy-Con 2 controllers was a major highlight. The game features 3-on-3 wheelchair basketball. However, despite the initial buzz, it quietly launched on August 14, 2025, to only moderate success and average reviews.
Heart Machine, a game developer based in Los Angeles, is the team behind popular games like *Solar Ash* and *Hyper Light Drifter*. They released *Hyper Light Breaker*, a detailed action roguelike, in January 2025, and it’s currently available in early access. Five months later, they announced *Possessor(s)*, a visually striking side-scrolling action platformer. While it shares similarities with metroidvania games in its level design, it’s not strictly categorized as one.
To begin the Memories puzzle in *Silent Hill f*, first you need to finish the challenging rooms related to Rinko and Sakuko inside the Worship Hall. After using both the Tri-Scale Emblem and the White Rabbit Emblem Keys, a new path will appear, taking you to a showroom filled with Shu’s favorite things. You’ll notice some items are missing from the displays, and the puzzle requires you to locate them.
The acclaimed game *Hades* first launched on PC and Nintendo Switch, remaining exclusive to Nintendo consoles for a limited time. It later became available on PlayStation and Xbox, and eventually on iOS devices.

The *One Piece* anime includes filler storylines and specials that have introduced unique Devil Fruits not found in the original manga. Over the show’s twenty-one-year run and sixteen major story arcs, many of these fruits have appeared. Here are eight of the strangest anime-only Devil Fruits so far.
As a long-time player of *Pokemon TCG Pocket*, I’m really starting to get frustrated with how collecting has become in the game. It feels like the limited-time offers and promos are just the norm, but the whole Shiny situation is a real problem. They’re so expensive to get with pack points, it feels like it all comes down to luck. And what’s even worse is that if you *do* pull a Shiny you don’t need, you’re stuck with it because you can’t trade! Now, they’re releasing a new Deluxe Pack EX on September 30th, and it’s only going to be around for a month. That means we’ll have to rush to get the cards we want, and rely on even *more* luck. It just feels like things are getting harder and harder for collectors.
