The latest hotfix for World of Warcraft has arrived, bringing with it changes to classes, covenants, raids, dungeons, creatures, NPCs, and more. This is not a full-on patch, but instead a hotfix, so your client should update quickly to apply these changes.Starting with the class changes, the Death Knight's Chains of Ice has been changed so it's removed from the target when it's used in conjunction with spells like Blessing of Freedom. The Demon Hunter, meanwhile, sees a fix for one of its abilities, while the Monk's runecarving power for its critical strike increase is now properly applied.For Paladins, this hotfix makes a change so the Blessing of Sacrifice properly displays on raid frames.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Escape From Tarkov update 12.10 should be arriving early next week, but for now preliminary patch notes have been published on the EFT forums. According to Battlestate Games, there will be no wipe associated with this update, but based on the patch notes, there are still some major changes players can expect--including the reintroduction of Steam Audio, which had been disabled due to bugs. New weapons and items will also make their way into the game, as well as updated voice acting for scav bosses and some quality-of-life changes, outlined below.Steam Audio, a spatial audio tool developed by Valve, allows games to enable highly-detailed positional audio, which is important for a game like Escape From Tarkov, where being able to discern an enemy player's location based on footsteps or gunfire, or register the audible clink of a grenade throw, can mean the difference between life and death. Bugs and other issues led Battlestate Games to disable the option for a while, but "after fixes," it should be returning in update 12.10--whether or not it's up to par will have to be determined by players in the coming weeks, but it's a big highlight nevertheless.One change many players will probably notice right away when the update goes live is the new voice acting for scav bosses Reshala, Sanitar, and Gluhar, which Battlestate Games teased in its TarkovTV live stream as "very spicy." On the topic of audio updates, rain will also be 30% quieter.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The item costs 400 bells and will be available in different colors each day.As you'd expect, the whoopee cushion makes various tooting sounds when sat on, ranging from a hearty "blrmph" to a more discreet "pfft."

"Wow that's more aggressive than I expected," GameSpot's Chris Pereira said upon hearing the whoopee cushion. You can listen to it for yourself in the clip below.Replacing every chair around my island with whoopee cushions. pic.twitter.com/AzxHEgq0RN — Kevin Knezevic (@kevknez) March 26, 2021To get your own whoopee cushion, access the Nook Shopping catalog either from your NookPhone or the Nook Stop terminal in your Resident Services building and open the Special Goods menu.

Developer Chikon Club has announced its debut title: Soup Pot, an upcoming game first revealed during the latest ID@Xbox Showcase. The game looks extremely on-brand for a terrible cook like me, someone who fantasizes about making good-looking food but is scared of doing a terrible job (Cooking Mama's strict upbringing scarred me deeply). Soup Pot doesn't have a traditional fail state."With Soup Pot, the team wanted to capture the sense of experimentation and improvisation that comes with home cooking, moving the focus away from failure states and 'game overs' in favor of rewarding cooks who try new things," Chikon Club writes in a press release.Gallery Soup Pot encompasses a wide variety of ingredients, stylized in 3D renders. The game will launch with over 100 different dishes to make, all based on Southeast Asian cuisine. Many of Chikon Club's developers are based in the Philippines and they pulled from their culture in designing Soup Pot's recipes.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Death's Door is understandably pretty dark, given that the game focuses on death. But there's a little bit of humor injected into the game too."If we've done our job right, there should be a few laugh out loud [moments]," programmer, writer, and animator Mark Foster told me. "That's the idea--it's a dry humor, but also a very British thing in that we find humor in misery. We like the comparison of that: something could be funny just because it's in this grim situation."Gallery First revealed during the ID@Xbox Showcase, this offbeat fantasy action-adventure puts you into the webbed feet of a crow that must collect the souls of the dead. You're basically this world's version of a grim reaper, working in a reality where it's your job to kill people when it's their time. Of course, not everyone is ready to go, so they won't just go quietly into the night without a fight--that's what your sword and bow and arrow are for.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Nobody Saves The World really hit its stride the first time my character, currently a birthday magician, unleashed a swarm of cute white bunnies to ravage his enemies.Just partway into my 30-minute hands-on demo for Drinkbox Studios' new game, I had used a magic wand imbued with shape-shifting power to transform from a blank, dumpy, plain white cartoon character into a somewhat dodgy magician better suited to entertaining children than crawling dungeons. Chief among the magician's abilities is summoning rabbits--you know, like out of a hat--to fight on my behalf. But since my magician abilities were somewhat untrustworthy, occasionally the rabbit I pulled out of the hat would be something else, like a giant, much more intimidating white tiger.The short look at Nobody Saves The World took me through two of its procedurally generated dungeons, trying out three of the "forms," or classes, you can unlock as you play. Like Drinkbox's Guacamelee! games before it, Nobody Saves The World is a goofy, humorous take on an assortment of inspirations. This time, Drinkbox turns its sights on the action-RPG genre with a top-down dungeon crawler that feels like it takes pages from games like The Legend of Zelda and Diablo. Your job is mostly to fight your way through dungeons, collecting magic crystals, as you fight a gross gooey infection called the Calamity that grips your world, filling it with monsters.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier Episode 2, "The Star-Spangled Man" began streaming on Disney+ today, and with it came another hour's worth of information about not only the new Captain America, but also the landscape of the post-Blip world. Turns out when half the population of the planet disappears for five years and then suddenly comes back, things get really, really messy.But first, we have to deal with the elephant in the room. John Walker is the new Captain America, handpicked by the military for his impressive resume of medals and achievements. Comics readers will recognize the name as the man who is currently US Agent and formerly Super-Patriot, who briefly stepped in as Cap when Steve temporarily gave up the gig. We spent a considerable amount of time during this episode getting to know how Walker works--and frankly? He seems like kind of a jerk. A well-intentioned jerk, sure, but a jerk nonetheless.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
