First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs -- like Roku -- don't have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you'll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you're using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network's sports app, you'll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.Remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you're using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommendBrave.

  • Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 official announcement reveals deluxe edition with Doom Slayer
    www.eurogamer.net
    Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 official announcement reveals deluxe edition with Doom SlayerBig deck energy.Image credit: Activision News by Victoria Kennedy News Reporter Published on March 4, 2025 After plenty of whispers and speculation, today Activision confirmed what we were all hoping for: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and 4 are back, and getting remade from the ground up.The upcoming combined remake will feature new skaters (so, professional skateboarder Tyshawn Jones, who let slip he was part of the game ahead of today's announcement), as well as "gnarlier tricks, an even sicker soundtrack, and, for the first time in 10 years - brand-new parks". That soundtrack will include songs from the original games such as Ace of Spades by Motorhead, as well as new tracks which "capture the spirit of modern skate culture".The game will also boast cross-platform online multiplayer for up to eight skaters.Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 official announcement trailer. Watch on YouTube"Developed with attention to detail by Iron Galaxy Studios and in collaboration with Tony Hawk and Activision, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 picks up seamlessly right where the critically acclaimed Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 game left off," the official blurb reads."Choose from a legendary pro skater roster that includes Tony Hawk, Bucky Lasek, Steve Caballero, Kareem Campbell, Geoff Rowley, Andrew Reynolds, Elissa Steamer, Chad Muska, Eric Koston, Rodney Mullen, Jamie Thomas, Rune Glifberg, and Bob Burnquist, or opt for the new skaters, including Rayssa Leal, Chloe Covell, Jamie Foy, Zion Wright, and Yuto Horigome. And, in true Tony Hawk's Pro Skater fashion, there will be secrets to unlock."Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 will be released across PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC (via Steam, Battle.net and Microsoft Store), and Nintendo Switch on 11th July. It will also be coming to Game Pass Ultimate and Game Pass PC.If you are interested in getting your hands on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4, you can pre-order now. Those that do will gain access to the Foundry Demo coming in June (although, please note this demo will only be available across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC), as well as the Wireframe Tony Shader at launch. Image credit: ActivisionIf you choose to plump for either the Digital Deluxe and Collector's Edition, you will also get earlier access to the full game, beginning 8th July. The Digital Deluxe Edition of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 will also give you access to other extras such as Doom Slayer and Revenant characters, in-game skate decks, Create-a-Skater items, and "more".The Collector's Edition, meanwhile, includes everything in the Digital Deluxe Edition, but also comes with a Limited-Edition full-size Birdhouse skateboard deck which has a printed Tony Hawk autograph. Image credit: ActivisionPlans to give Pro Skater 3 and 4 the remake treatment were reportedly scrapped after Activision made the decision to merge developer Vicarious Visions into Blizzard in 2021. But, that clearly wasn't the end of it after all, and in September last year, Tony Hawk himself teased something was in the pipeline. More pertinently, Hawk revealed he had been "talking to Activision again" last September, and added these talks were " insanely exciting" and he was "working on something" with the studio.So, are you ready to get back on your boards when Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 releases this summer?

  • Knights in Tight Spaces review
    www.eurogamer.net
    Knights in Tight Spaces expands on every part of the Fights in Tight Spaces template, but an abundance of new ideas swamps the clarity the original game had.I'm torn because in theory, I should love Knights in Tight Spaces. It's got everything I like. The guts of the game are carried over from Fights in Tight Spaces - a turn-based, Roguelike, deck-building beat-'em-up about fighting in confined spaces and using clever movement and manipulation of enemy attacks to win. I was very fond of that game because it made me feel like Jason Bourne beating people up with a biro. Knights in Tight Spaces takes that template and moves it to medieval fantasy, a setting I've loved my whole life, and adds more to it - character classes, a larger party to control, side quests, an equipment system, more dialogue... In theory it's a win-win. Except in play I'm struggling to love it, and I wonder if this is a case where less is actually more.Knights in Tight Spaces reviewDeveloper: Ground ShatterPublisher: Raw FuryPlatform: Played on PCRelease date: Out now on PC (Steam)A quick recap on how it works before I plunge into my argument. In Knights in Tight Spaces, you face scenarios where you're surrounded by enemies on a gridded battlefield, usually themed around some small interior or exterior befitting of the setting - here, a drawbridge or a blacksmith's forge or the ramparts of a castle, for example. Each round, you draw a handful of cards that relate to things you can do and spend 'momentum' (this game's energy resource) to play them. Importantly, cards cover movement as well as attacks and defence, and moving around the battlefield is as important as thumping people.Enemies telegraph where they're going to attack at the end of the round, you see, so if you're still standing in that space at the end of the round, you'll get thumped. Like Into The Breach, then, the skill comes in worming your way out of danger, slipping around someone or leaping over them - and since their attacks are pre-determined, you'll ideally want to move in such a way that leaves them attacking their friend rather than you. This is fundamental to success in the game. It's a bit like chess in that it requires careful, calculated play. One well-placed move can change everything.Knights in Tight Spaces.Watch on YouTubeBut whereas you were always a solo agent in Fights in Tight Spaces, outnumbered and outgunned, here in Knights you have help. You can now control up to three characters in a battle, all drawing from the same energy pool and deck of cards. And because there's now a concept of groups, there's also now a concept of varying types of character to fill those groups with. No longer is there only a default agent whose abilities are wholly represented by the deck you build while you play. Now, there are characters tied to distinct fantasy classes - like sorcerers and rogues and healers and fighters - each with pros and cons of their own.Importantly, not all characters can use all types of cards. Magic cards are a good example of this: only those attuned to the arcane arts can play them, so most melee-based characters cannot. Similarly, only someone with a bow can fire arrows, which makes sense - they'd be rubbish if you just threw them at someone. When you recruit a new hero - which you're allowed to do a short way through a run - they come with a small set of cards of their own, relating to things they do well, which are then mixed into your deck. Adding new recruits can feel quite disruptive, then, because a deck in a deck-building game is a carefully shaped thing - to have a cluster of cards suddenly appear can throw off whatever strategy you were using previously.I should be clear that adding new recruits is optional, but I don't see why you'd turn them down. One of Knights in Tight Spaces' major new things - and something you as a player have to learn - is support attacks, which happen automatically whenever an enemy is hit in range of one of your companions. It's a free hit, in other words. Judge it perfectly, and you can have all three of your characters attack but only 'pay' for one of them, if that makes sense. That's massive in a game like this. It can change the shape of a battle, and it feels enormously satisfying to pull off. The battle spaces really are tight. Usually, they all have a way - or multiple ways - you can hoof someone out of bounds, too. It's a very powerful move if you can line it up. | Image credit: Eurogamer / Ground ShatterHaving additional heroes also raises your energy pool, and it gives you more options for equipping items you find or buy along the way, such as weapons and armour and potions. And these can be hugely beneficial, too. Even weaker items add useful buffs, but stronger ones can mix upgraded cards into your hands to use - really useful stuff. They're Knights in Tight Spaces' version of collectible power-ups, I suppose, a bit like the relics in Slay the Spire. Extra characters can be very useful, then. But they can be annoying, too.With one character, there's only ever one person to steer away from danger each round - one character to check will be okay from every angle when you press End Turn. Health doesn't regenerate in these games, remember, so any damage you take will cumulatively accrue across battles. Carelessness, in other words, whittles you down. And there's no coming back from the dead - die and that's it, you'll have to start again. (Although caveat: you can bring companions back from the dead by visiting a necromancer, which is a nice idea.) Keeping one character out of trouble is tricky enough - with three characters, it's three times as hard.This becomes more of an issue when the game's challenge ramps up the further into a run you go, when enemies appear that don't politely wait their turn to hit you. These enemies have abilities like auto-attack, which triggers whenever you disturb them. They can also counter-attack when you hit them, turn to face you when you step around them, or move when you move. Any of these things changes the shape of a battle, so you need to carefully read what each enemy does and factor it into what you do to counteract them. But it isn't always clear what enemies are going to do - there's a bit of a readability problem here. And it's annoying when you take damage from a place you hadn't realised you would, but it becomes even more devastating when it means one of your characters would get booted out of bounds and die in one hit. Yes, I'm still sore. The wonderful dynamic camera returns to highlight critical attacks, or very showy ones, but there's still a feeling of a missed trick here in terms of its cinematic potential. It's a bit dull, despite how it looks. | Image credit: Eurogamer / Ground ShatterI'm used to this fastidiousness from other games of this type, but there's something about punishment in Knights in Tight Spaces that makes it harder to shrug off. It seems uneven, as though you'll be coasting for a long time and then suddenly come unstuck over a difficulty spike. Case in point: a six-hour run of mine was abruptly brought to an end because I picked a fight with a demon in a conversation - there were actually two of them - who turned out to be incredibly powerful, displaying all of the complex enemy behaviour mentioned above while also packing a devastating punch. I'm not sure if there was any way I could have won, and after around six hours of steady progress getting there, it felt like a brutal way to die.The time-investment certainly has a lot to do with the bitterness: it doesn't feel like we're in compulsive 'one more try' territory here - in that sweet spot of an hour or two that other Roguelikes manage, where you 'accidentally' find yourself playing again. And of course with more time invested, there's more you stand to lose each run. But there's also a sense that the moment-to-moment feel of the game isn't that alluring either, and that it lacks spark and punch. It's as though the whole thing feels sleepy, even when you're doing something as dramatic as smashing someone's head onto a table - like you're watching it all happen under water.Knights in Tight Spaces also feels somewhat inhibited mechanically, and afraid of letting itself go wild and having fun. In Slay the Spire, for example, half of the appeal comes from believing this run might be the one where you assemble a collection of power-ups that break the game in your favour - that combine to ridiculous, devastating effect. But that never happens here. Upgrades feel muted and there are no fireworks popping off inside my head. It means that Knights in Tight Spaces can be unexciting to play, and you'll feel that keenly a handful of hours in when you face another rote battle with no inherent appeal to it - but have to pay close attention nonetheless. There's also a lingering feeling that the fundamental allure of wriggling out of impossible situations in tight confines doesn't quite fit medieval fantasy as well as it did secret agents and spies - that the bones don't quite fit the skin.Knights in Tight Spaces accessibility optionsBlood on/off, enhanced camera controls, optional hotkeys.Like I said, I feel like I should love Knights in Tight Spaces, and I do appreciate all of the work that's gone into it. The stark palette of the original game has been changed for something much warmer and more tavern-like, with lovely thick-pen-lined environments that you fight in. And I admire that Ground Shatter has made the effort to do something new rather than opt for an incremental update. I have no hesitation in saying there's enjoyment to be found here. I just think the pudding has been overworked slightly, and that some of the clarity of flavour that came through in the original is swamped here.A copy of Knights in Tight Spaces was provided for review by Raw Fury.

  • Stalker 2 STALKOUR 2.0 brings much improved movement to the survival game
    www.videogamer.com
    You can trust VideoGamer. Our team of gaming experts spend hours testing and reviewing the latest games, to ensure you're reading the most comprehensive guide possible. Rest assured, all imagery and advice is unique and original. Check out how we test and review games hereWhile Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl released with some massive issues, the core feeling of the survival game was (and still is) fantastic. However, as players mod the game to add in Dishonoured superpowers and powerful dodge mechanics, the game can also become a sandbox for some truly awesome mods.One popular mod, dubbed STALKOUR, was one of the first mods to give players access to improved clambering near release. However, with the new STALKOUR 2.0 mod launch, players now have more movement options than ever before, and its pretty damn great.Stalker 2 STALKOUR mod is awesomeCreated by modder ModsBySabre, the STALKOUR 2.0 mod is an enhanced version of the original mod that gives players much better movement options within the Zone.For starters, the climbing height for Skif (the playable character) has been increased by three times, allowing players to clamber up walls and reach hiding spots easier. Additionally, players can vault over a tonne more objects, allowing you to make use of a mechanic that is largely useless in the base game due to its limitations.To complete the parkour-theme, the modder has also massively decreased fall damage in the game. This means that you can run and jump across buildings, shipping crates and the like with ease while also avoiding damage you otherwise wouldve taken. The mod makes avoiding mutated animals a lot easier, and also generally gives you a bit more freedom that Id love to have seen in the base game.While this mod doesnt turn Stalker 2 into something like Dying Light, it is a slightly different way to play, and can drastically alter your approach. Now that its easier to get on top of buildings, sniper-focused playthroughs feel a little better as you can more easily find a great position to shoot from.Of course, if you feel this makes the game too easy, you can simply not install it. Additionally, and more helpfully, other modders have created some truly difficult takes on Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. For example, the recent Desolation mod gives players an almost masochistic level of difficulty to play through.S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of ChornobylPlatform(s):PC, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series S/X, Xbox Series XGenre(s):Action, Adventure, RPG, Shooter, Survival HorrorSubscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share

  • Space Marine 2 devs reveal harder difficulty options are coming for masochistic players, but warn theyre almost at our limit

    You can trust VideoGamer. Our team of gaming experts spend hours testing and reviewing the latest games, to ensure you're reading the most comprehensive guide possible. Rest assured, all imagery and advice is unique and original. Check out how we test and review games hereIf you thought that Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 wasnt hard enough, developer Saber Interactive has heard you. While the team behind the awesome Warhammer game desperately want to give players access to even harder difficulties, the team is worried the game is already reaching its limit.With more content on the way, including new events that wont have FOMO timers and a Horde Mode addition, players want to be able to trod through previous levels on difficulties above the current Absolute mode. Unfortunately, that might not be possible.Space Marine 2 devs reach difficulty limitIn a recent community note, game director Dmitry Grigorenko explained that the team is working on additional difficulty modifiers for the future of Space Marine 2. However, a brand-new bespoke difficulty mode may not be added as the team reaches their limit in terms of fair design.Overall, we are quite happy with how intense the difficulty itself is, the game director explained. We see that it requires a lot of concentration and we feel like its fun in terms of how many enemies you have to face, how hard they hit you etc. At the same time, we see some comments that its a bit easy. Yet on the other hand we dont want to mess it up and would like to hear the voice of the community first.Grigorenko explained that the devs are almost at out limit in terms of how we can make the game harder without making it unfair and not fun with additional difficulties. Additionally, simply adding a bunch more enemies into the fray wouldnt be possible due to performance limits for the vast majority of players.Greatly increasing enemy damage and HP will make it so players will die randomly and will make enemies bullet sponges, which will not be fun, they explained.Nevertheless, Saber Interactive is working on more difficulty options in the form of a new modifiers system. While the system will take some time, the new system will allow combinations of gameplay modifiers to create brand-new challenges on top of selected difficulty options.For more Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2 coverage, read about how Games Workshop is actively looking for its next big success.Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2Platform(s):PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series XGenre(s):ActionRelated TopicsWarhammer 40 000: Space Marine 2 Subscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share

  • 9 Vintage Runners That Are Charming and Wallet-Friendly (2025)
    www.architecturaldigest.com
    Many New York City apartments feature some kind of structural oddity that remains after renovations pasta triangulated bedroom, no bathroom sink, or a strangely placed beam propping up the ceiling. Mine happens to be a very long hallway. In an attempt to make it look intentional, Ive been scouring the internet for a runner that looks vintage, the kind that has a pre-distressed, kilim-like style, sourced from somewhere far more interesting abroad.A gorgeous vintage rug will usually set you back hundreds or thousands of dollars, not to mention landing on a design that speaks to you among all the many woven patterns out there, so Ive been documenting my search to save you some of the frustration of shopping for a similar design classicone that will make your hallway look as chic and worldly as any AD celebrity home tour youve ever browsed.If you have access to a vehicle and a vacant Saturday to poke around upstate, or rural America for truly vintage runners (I particularly love this option), Id recommend starting there. If youre Manhattan-locked, though, and at the mercy of its temperamental transportation systems and Greenpoint boutiques with 400% markups on vintage Turkish runners, stick around: Online shopping is likely the best option for you. Below are nine runners that caught my eye for their quality, material, price point, and the uniqueness of their designand though not all of them are vintage textiles, all of them embody that same historic character.Serena & Lily Alamere RugThis runner is a perfect hybrid of an antique and farmhouse style, one that I could see gracing the living room or foyer of a Shea McGee design project. The white-washed undyed look on this impression of a Persian style gives it a cozy, rustic vibe.SpecsDimensions: 2.6' x 10' or 2.6' x 16'Materials: 81% Wool, 14% cotton, 5% polyesterVintage Belouch RunnerNicky Kehoe is a brand for whom Ill bend the budget. This is the real dealan 18th-century hand-woven Belouch rug from Persia. If I had a long hallway inside a Colonial style home on an island in Maine, this is exactly what I would purchase. Its a classic piece, perfect for an entryway that sets the tone for great taste throughout the house.SpecsDimensions: 3'6" X 9'10"Materials: WoolCB2 Pascala Hand-Knotted Wool Runner RugCB2 nailed the design with this flat-weave wool runner. Though its not actually vintage, it looks authentic enough with its hand knotted design and charming motif that gives it a dramatic, heirloom feel. It would bring incredible depth to a simple white hallway, or along terra-cotta tile leading to the backyard.SpecsDimensions: 2.5' x 8'Materials: WoolVintage Turkish Konya RunnerThis design takes the cake for me, despite it being completely different than what I set out for. Its both distinctive enough to stand out from other mass-market rugs and also subtle enough to warm up your cold floors without being too loud, employing an unexpected colorscape for a vintage runner that eschews the traditional neutrals and red tones of other Persians and Turkish rugs.SpecsDimensions: 34" in width (length not listed)Materials: WoolKeen Home Design Machine Washable Runner RugAmazon is where Id think to browse for rug pads before shopping actual rugs themselves, so finding a runner that looks authentic to the sarouk rug styles Im after was a joy. This one costs a mere $70 and with some surrounding antique decorationsmaybe a Colonial-style entryway tableyour guests would have no idea this was from a warehouse in Pennsylvania, and not Ankara.SpecsDimensions: 2'6" x 10Materials: Cotton polyester blendVintage Persian Heriz RunnerAnd the winner for longest runnerand the only one that can actually run the length of my insane hallwaygoes to this 1950s Persian Heriz style. The taupe, brown, and various pinks make a stylish statement by reiterating classic patterns in an unexpected colorway.SpecsDimensions: 2'5" x 15'5"Materials: WoolThe Citizenry Hanita Hand-Knotted RugThis pick from Citizenry also deviates slightly from the heavy reds and browns typical of a Persian or Turkish rug, but the neutrals, blush pink, and light greens feel welcoming and bright in a dim entryway. As for authenticity, this 100% wool rug is hand-crafted in India.SpecsDimensions: 2'5" x 8'Materials: New Zealand woolDesign Within Reach Marl Handwoven Moroccan Wool RugIf the sarouk style gives a little too much color or intensity for what youre after, a handwoven Moroccan runner is worth a search. These neutrals are patterns, which complement more modern interior designlight woods, lacquered surfaceswhere Anatolian styles often work better with dark woods. The high pile quality gives an interesting textural component missing from a flatweave.SpecsDimensions: 2.5" x 9'Materials: WoolGreenrow Nova Hand-Knotted RugPerhaps the least true-to-style on the list, this hand-knotted runner, made in India, takes the classic vintage runner look into the present with a more abstract take on the typical medallion-style. Im also very partial to this as a full area rug, as I think it can turn a room without direction into a colorful shrine.SpecsDimensions: 2.5" x 9'Materials: 90% Wool, 10% cotton

The wider protests and backlash against Elon Musk at Tesla dealerships is, at the very least, making it uncomfortable for some people to own a Cybertruck. The protests also highlight that Cybertrucks are outfitted with many cameras that are always recording in Sentry Mode, and that a community of Cybertruck owners are sometimes trying to identify people using this footage.In a video taken from a Cybertruck of a man throwing American cheese slices at the windshield of a Cybertruck, many comments suggest filing a police report and attempting to dox the man by posting a screengrab of his face to social media: Freeze frame and blow up his face. Go on all the social media platforms and post your video. I would file a police report stating that if he is willing to do this in public, then he obviously has some type of vendetta against me, and therefore, I feel threatened and fearful for my life the only way these people will learn [is] if they are shamed, one comment reads. Can you make an 8 x 11 print out of his face with a QR code that leads to the video so everybody in your city will know who this guy is and what he did?? cant we just make him famous?0:00 /0:10Others have suggested that Sentry Mode should use facial recognition to keep their trucks safe: At the very least it should say You are being recorded while describing the person. And on some Black Mirror level ish, at the most? Let it use facial recognition through the internet and call the offenders by their name while threatening legal actions.Jason is a cofounder of 404 Media.

    Arquebustin A Cap.Becoming Avoweds most toxic 360 no-scoper isn't a walk in the weird mushroom park, but for me, it was just a Sunday"Marius, fetch the adra-powered photographic contraption!" - XxAedyranEnvoy420xXImage credit: Obsidian/VG247 Article by Mark Warren Senior Staff Writer Published on March 4, 2025 Turning and turning in the widening gyre.The follower cannot hear the other follower.Because the party leader cannot hold themselves from yelling at the top of their lungs, through Mountain Dew and Dorito-encrusted lips: Thats what your f**king mum said last night, get new shrekt!To see this content please enable targeting cookies. The Xaurips guttural roars of pain grow louder as the Aedyran envoy, spewing the kind of hatred last seen in an Xbox game only at the peak of Lives powers, spins and blasts away, never stopping to aim. By the end, their knees are weak, their arms are heavy, and their scale armour would surely be covered in the Living Lands equivalent of moms spaghetti had they not gained relative immunity to dizziness.They cant stop, though. Theyre addicted to the shindig. Theres loot to grab, victory dances to jive, and - most importantly - corpses to teabag.Back at camp, they apply yet another upgrade to their trusty arquebus and dream of a day when they might be able to coat its barrel, stock, and trigger with the tackiest custom skin youve ever seen. They ponder the rollercoaster ride that delivered them here, to a playstyle deliberately designed for maximum bellendiness, to companions which almost definitely hate them, to bowing before the obscene gods of all thats M, L, and G.They remember how it began with the purchase of an exceptional arquebus from the weapon merchant in Fior Mes Ivrno. They remember thinking to themselves, as they stroked it, how much it resembled a Barrett 50 Cal. The perfect blunderbussy sniper rifle for them to fill the bussies of baddies with lead in the most dickheadish fashion possible. To stunt on these hoes who kept pointing and laughing at the fact their face was 90% obscured by a big slab of magic wood. Sometimes you're so MLG the bosses just start dancing, IDK what to tell you. | Image credit: ObsidianIll give you wood, they muttered under their breath, even though I am a small woman with purple hair who exists because playing as generic buff dudes is a bit lame. As with anything, the early days in Avowed were tough, and there was much to learn. They quickly discovered the extra importance that turning your back on your enemy every thirty seconds puts on maintaining good distance from strong melee attackers. They observed that the arquebus lengthy reload animation often lasted a split second than a single one of their spins, so adjusted the speed when possible, avoiding the need for a costly second blunt rotation.They died a lot. They relied on their companions to save their insufferable bottom a lot. They felt the disapproval of the god who kept interrupting their naps to natter about philosophy burning inside their skull. They didnt care about that. It was the godawful K/D ratio that brought them shame. The taking of Ls by a loser who couldnt lay blame on any Living Lands lag. It didnt matter though. Their hope would never die, even if they werent yet the sharpest tool in the shed.Drawing on the power of the Faze Clan, they didnt give up, and slowly but surely, they improved. In drawn-out fights that often ran for over ten minutes at a time regardless of the foe, the hitmarkers began to pop up more regularly as their timing got better, interspersed with the occasional red skull marker as the headshots started to connect in the insta-kill-o-meter sputtered into life, kicking out steam that smelt of unwashed teenagers bedrooms. They were a shooting star, and they were breaking the mould. They definitely didn't mind having to defend someone whose favourite song is Revenge by Captainsparkelz. | Image credit: ObsidianEventually, they were ready. 360 no-scope bounty hunting was the game, and there was only one logical choice for the first target. This was an Obsidian RPG after all. They chose to go full New Vegas - to take drugs and kill a bear. Old Nuna was its name, and, having packed enough air horns to deafen an entire village, they set off for its lair - an ancient grotto. As they marched, they blasted a trap-infused mashup of Eminems greatest hits and every classic Minecraft song parody.The moment, they owned it, theyd never let it go (oh). Theyd only get one shot, and would not miss their chance to blow.Entering the cave, they brushed the sporeling blood off of their facial wood, downed every single item of food and beverage in their inventory, and started blasting in a fashion so reckless that Danny DeVito felt a disturbance in the force. Bang, twirl, bang, twirl, bang, twirl. The worlds deadliest ballet dancer, Darcey Bussell made of hot lead, Cheeto dust, and pure, unadulterated vengeance. Some of the shots still missed, but they hit the ones that counted.Old Nuna, mostly by virtue of being the biggest target and therefore the hardest to miss, fell first. Oh my f**king god! Mom, get the camera, they screamed like a hellion, as fedora-topped faces all over their field of vision winked, said wow, then disappeared under a tidal wave of popping hitmarkers and Illuminati symbols. Then, they set about cleaning up the comparatively tough to zero-in-on sentient mushrooms. Once it was all done, they set about their joyous teabagging, perfectly to the tune of the Thomas the Tank Engine theme.On their return to Fior, they felt the eyes of the animancers on them, mainly because they were setting off fifty air horns at once to create an utterly disgraceful remix of that one Rick Astley bop. They laid claim to the bounty, and asked if they could exchange it for a lifetime supply of loot boxes. No, said the bounty master. It's ok, Giatta, I get messages like that all the time. | Image credit: ObsidianThey leaned in to said bounty masters ear, mimed pressing record, and proceeded to gently scream: Right, Ill tell you what you fat little Valian. Youre boring, you dont sound Aedyran at all, so go Fior yourself. Go and crawl in the dirty dank little hole where you Fioring come from, you dirty dragon-eating little Fioring spellcaster! Then, they walked away, delighting in the expressions of horror from the assembled throngs. It didnt matter. The die was cast. Theyd only get stronger from here.Some revelation was at hand. The first coming of the Avowed 360 no-scoper was at hand.Some rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouched towards Thirdborn, its energy drink-saturated mind dripping with an unshakable truth.Inquisitor Ldwyn had raidposted in the wrong neighborhood.

  • Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 mod lets you "sip wine with sphere locals" by turning every woman, animal, and door into a giant blob, while making men invisible

    Blandish Some BallsKingdom Come Deliverance 2 mod lets you "sip wine with sphere locals" by turning every woman, animal, and door into a giant blob, while making men invisibleSounds like paradise to me.Image credit: Warhorse Studios/Omniscye News by Mark Warren Senior Staff Writer Published on March 4, 2025 Sometimes you're playing a game, and you just think to yourself - this could probably do with a few weird flesh blobs to spice things up a bit. A Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 modder has clearly had that epiphany, and they've acted on it to bring us all a world of medival lady and animal spheres that's totally free from the patriarchy.I don't know about you, but that sounds pretty cool to me. It looks it, too.To see this content please enable targeting cookies. 'Sphere World' is a creation from the mind of modder Omniscye, who's also done stuff like turn Henry's dog into a giraffe, feed it to a Poke-ball, and make every wagon in the game transform into a sword whenever you get close - so they've got surrealist nightmare form.The sphere one might be their magnum opus, though, as it turns the game's female NPCs, livestock, and doors into big balls. Well, big fleshy head blobs in the case of the former two. Meanwhile, in a stunning reversal of that song by The Weather Girls, KCD2's men aren't spheres, but have been turned completely invisible. Yep, a world without medival blokes - think how much shouting and how many bowl-cuts we're down.Omniscye's even been nice enough to reccomend you some stuff to do while on holiday in this weird holiday realm, in order to help you "experience spheres", taking on their travel agent guise to push you towards a "ride through the sunset, dodging or admiring the endless parade of spheres" and "sip wine with sphere locals. Theyre round, theyre friendly, theyre... weird."Just make sure you don't try to take any snaps in photo mode to show your folks back, home becauyse doing so with the mod installed "can, and usually does, crash your game". Aside from that though, PC Gamer has given the mod a go and it seems like it won't do anything else drastic to your game in terms of messing it up or causing issues. No, I don't count to whole turning people into blobs thing as drastic.Do you think the Bayeux Tapestry originally featured some flesh blob people who were secretly erased at some point in history because our ancestors didn't think we'd be able to handle knowing they existed? I certainly don't, so you're on your own if so.
