Sleep tight, Junimo! Seven years later,Stardew Valleyis still full of surprises. User youkaymelis on theStardewValley subreddithas over 2000 hours in the game and still justrecently discovered something new. Apparently, when decorating your house you can position the decorative plushies and place them inside a bed to get a pretty cute result. I have over 2000+ hours in this game and just accidently found out you can tuck in your plushies 🥹🥹byu/youkaymelisinStardewValley...

He wants to create a Valve rather than work at Valve Most people that are even remotely interested in the videogames industry would figuratively kill (maybe literally!) for a shot at interviewing at Valve, let alone securing a job there. Markus Persson, better known to the gaming community as “Notch”, did the former on accident, and then turned down a job offer. In an excerpt from his bookMinecraft: The Unlikely Tale of Markus ‘Notch’ Persson and the Game that Changed Everything, which was republished byAllThingsD, Notch tells of the time that he was invited to visit Valve asMinecraft‘s beta was taking off and generated quite a bit of buzz....

It’s the time, of the sea-son for buff-ing In a new developer update video, Jeff Kaplan has outlined some experimental changes that will be implemented in the next season of Blizzard’s shooter juggernautOverwatch. First, the season is being shortened from three months to two. This is because figures are showing that the majority of players only hit a season hard for the first month, then tend to slow down, or stop entirely, in the latter two....

Just look both ways before crossing the street If you playOverwatchon PC, you may want to update the Public Test Realm (PTR) and load it up. Blizzard’s unveiled a new set of control point maps for their popular first-person shooter, and it looks like it’ll be heading to console versions and the live game alongside therecent Symmetra changes. Although it was a little difficult to get a game going due to some technical problems with the PTR, I spent a little while trying out the new levels....

Which Witch? PlatinumGames has finally broken its silence on the uglyBayonetta 3voice actor controversy that has been the height of internet discourse for the past week — Ina new statement posted to Twitter, the studio reaffirmed its solidarity with actor Jennifer Hale, who will portray the gunslinging witch in the new sequel, which hits the shelves next week after years of anticipation. The incredibly straight statement, presented unemotionally and sparsely worded as if it has been passed through several legal departments, outlines Platinum’s desire to continue forward with Hale as the “new Bayonetta”, while thanking all those who have contributed to the franchise’s past success, (though choosing not to reference anybody in particular by name....

Pokémon Gonew season, dubbed Max Out, is now live. ThePokémon GoMax Out season brings with it a new Special Research for players to take part in, and players are required to choose a path in order to complete this research. The Galar Calling Special Research story asks players to choose between three starter Pokémon: Grookey, Scorbunny or Sobble. While it is possible to catch all three of these Pokémon during this research, the choice will impact the rewards players earn during this research....

A number of us are very excited forPrinny: Can I Really Be The Hero?with good reason. First of all, Prinnies are awesome. Second of all, NIS is an awesome studio. Third of all, this video is awesome, and if you disagree then you’re a real piece of sh*t.Well, awesome might be overstating it, but the video is certainly cute, in a kind of morbid, embarrassing way. Seriously though, NIS, some more gameplay footage would be wonderful right about now....

‘Not our dream for how Destiny is played’ Bungie’s grand social shooterDestinyhas boiled down to an interesting and repetitive formula for a lot of players lately: fire into the darkness of a cave and hope some interesting gear drops. No world exploring, no cooperative tactics, not even some competitive play. Nope. Just shoot at the same spot for hours on end until something good happens. As it turns out, that’s not what Bungie envisioned forDestiny....

We recently told youabout how Microsoft has reworked the Microsoft Points system so that you’re not always stuck with extra points. I won’t say names, but an industry insider had a long, drunken talk with me about how the whole 500 point system basically let Microsoft work as a big bank for gamers, letting them always hold onto a portion of your money. Never thought of it that way until drunkie spelled it out....

Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2‘snew Lethal-tier difficulty modeis a kind of an exercise in frustration as of Patch 4, and we don’t know if that’s going to change anytime soon. The good news is that Lethal Mode does have some exclusive rewards, should you choose to pursue them. For those who really are fine withtanking dozens of Zoanthropes in Lethal Modeper mission, the developer Saber Interactive has cooked up a few admittedly cool cosmetic items....

Also a new win screen if you’re rad Arika’sTetris 99just got a very small update on the surface: but for hardcore players, it’s quite significant. In short the new patch (version 1.2.0) just altered the sensitivity settings, which now allow for both light and hard drop settings. The win screen has also been altered to “Tetris Maximus,” if you’re lucky enough to view it. Plus, events now “grant points based on place ranking while an event is ongoing....

But will the genatiles remain untouched? We gave theAngry Video Game Nerd Adventuresan 8.5 when it came out on PC last year. Our residentMega Manexpert and James Rolfe fan Tony Ponce found the game to be quite compatible with his particular sensibilities. It should find a nice home alongside the likes ofShovel Knight, Guacamelee, 1001 Spikes, Ducktales: Remasteredand other tough but fair, back to basics 2D platformers found on the Wii U eShop, and I’m not just saying that because Mr....
