Since my wife and I are shortly to have our first child, I have been thinking about major ideas like trust, accountability, leadership, and responsibility for the better part of a year. I am reflecting on my identity and how I should raise a child without passing on all of my negative characteristics. When I was in this emotionally raw state, Mouthwashing struck me in the face.

I have played Overwatch for well over 1,000 hours since its 2016 release, so I am not new to the hero shooter genre. And it is difficult not to think that Marvel Rivals was destined to be released in 2016. I should have been looking forward to its release while lamenting Harambe’s passing, watching English football reach a low point at the hands of Iceland, and, most importantly, enjoying the excitement of Captain America: Civil War. Nevertheless, 2024 is an entertaining hero shooter, and I have enjoyed it a lot because it has a large selection of diverse heroes in…

Casey Hudson, a co-creator of Mass Effect, founded the game studio Humanoid Origin, which recently announced that it is closing. Despite efforts to “protect the studio from broader issues in the industry,” the decision to close was made because of “an unforeseen deficit of finance,” according to the LinkedIn post announcing the closure.

Later, it was disclosed that the company was developing a AAA, multi-platform game set in a brand-new science…
Guides Zero, a top-down dungeon-crawling roguelike created by independent South Korean studio Izzle, was just added to Steam’s Early Access. In the universe where the novel is set, a war has been going on for a very long time with no obvious winner. Following its conclusion, a neutral zone was established on the center continent. On that continent, a huge pit known as The Scar opened, and a mysterious material called Black Blood that produces corrupted creatures emerged from its depths. The origin of the Black Blood, the origin of this sinkhole, and the contents of the deepest parts of…
Bloober Team, the developers of the popular survival horror game Silent Hill 2 Remake, made a few minor adjustments to the game, and now fans have found another: eerie messages concealed in TV static. After learning the secrets, YouTuber Shiba posted two videos, according to PC Gamer. They said, “A message broadcast in Morse code is playing on the TV in Brookhaven Hospital.” It is challenging to hear the sound clearly because it is largely muffled by the TV’s static. The Morse code is unique, though, and has a telegraph-like clicking sound. Shiba demonstrates this on the TV and interprets…

Patch notes released today, November 19, indicate that gamers can now access “legacy” XP tokens, also known as XP tokens you have been storing since Modern Warfare 2. Players deep in the Call of Duty grind hailed their unexpected availability with the release of Season 1, but their equally unexpected departure sparked a backlash. Treyarch, the game’s creator at the time, claimed that it had patched Black Ops 6 to remove…
