Video games offer a fun way to escape reality, transporting players to incredible places – from fantastical worlds to realistic recreations of the past and present. Some games feature environments so stunningly beautiful, they can even surpass the beauty of the real world, making everyday life seem less vibrant in comparison.
For nearly three years, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 1 was the most popular anime on the platform. However, its reign has ended in a surprising twist: the new season, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2, has taken its place at number one. This makes Frieren the only series to defeat itself, and solidifies its status as a major anime success of recent years.
A map glitch in Stella Montis was becoming a major problem. Recently, we found out that two groups of players were actually using the glitch to retaliate against each other. Thankfully, Embark Studios has now fixed the issue with an update.
I’m so excited for Marathon! It’s basically a fresh start for Bungie’s classic FPS series that first came out on Macs way back in the ’90s. From what I understand, it’s a multiplayer extraction shooter – you’ll be going in, grabbing loot, and getting out – with some player-versus-player action thrown in. The cool thing is, even though Bungie is now part of Sony, you won’t need a PlayStation account to play if you get it on Steam or Xbox Series X/S. It’s coming out globally on March 5th, and pre-orders are live now. The standard digital version is $39.99, but they’ve also got a super fancy physical collector’s edition with the game code that’s going for $229.99!
A new update for ARC Raiders arrived just a week after the previous one, following a holiday break for the developers at Embark Studio. The update, numbered 1.11.0, included a popular cosmetic pack but also significantly reduced the power of some commonly used weapons and items. Most notably, the Trigger Nade – a powerful grenade that had been dominating player-versus-player combat – had its damage range and speed reduced. The delay before detonation was also increased. Additionally, the fire rate of the Kettle weapon was lowered to prevent players from using programs to fire it too quickly.
By the time you’ve read this, Quant’s price has probably gone up 8%-if it hasn’t already, it’s probably just taking a coffee break. The move followed a decisive breakout above the 20-day and 50-day exponential moving averages, a technical shift that’s about as reliable as a toddler’s promise to clean their room.
The recent nosedive, which would make even the most seasoned rollercoaster enthusiast queasy, came amid a market so volatile it makes a soap opera look like a documentary. President Donald Trump, in a move that surprised absolutely no one, announced new tariffs on eight European Union countries. Because, you know, nothing says “economic stability” like a good old-fashioned trade war. This, naturally, sent risk assets into a tailspin, with Bitcoin (BTC) slipping below $95,000 and Ethereum (ETH) following suit. Pi Coin, never one to miss out on a good disaster, joined the party with enthusiasm.
I’ve been playing Minecraft since its early beta days in 2010 and have seen it change a lot over the years. One of my favorite things to do in Minecraft is build automated farms for resources like wool, meat, and crops to keep my character going. While that’s typical for a game like this, I don’t plan on doing anything similar in Hytale – specifically, I won’t create systems to quickly kill creatures or hunt peaceful animals for food. This is because Hytale has a key feature that Minecraft lacks.
In a classic case of ‘guess who’s coming to dinner,’ the attacker whisked away 1,299 ETH in one fell swoop. PeckShield, ever the nosy neighbor, confirms that our elusive villain was front-run by a savvy MEV builder, revealing the on-chain drama that unfolded.
