Valve added an invisible wall to this sewer pipe in Half-Life 2 in their anniversary update

Tubular Half-Life 2just got a small update, mostly to fix a long-running music bug. Valve have now corrected that, removing the offending blocker and restoring order to the universe. Oh, you clever little speedos. As you’re free to imagine, this made the usual speedrun trick impossible. It won’t be quite enough to entice record holders to switch to new version, says Peng. But it’s a decent gesture to novice speedrunners.

I want to remove this horrible demo from my Steam library, but my body won’t let me

I just want my old life back When and where did theSteam demoforhorrorgameNew Lifefirst find its way to me? “For who is madder?!” I shout, in a normal and cool manner. “The mice - so very mad for cheese - or the madmen who screams Mice! in the middle of the cheese aisle?!” And if I cant remember how it got here, how can I make it go away? I no longer wish to play the demo for New Life, if indeed I ever did....

In Bladesong you are both the real hero and villain of any fantasy RPG

Advance the story by arming the NPCs Video games in general have a surplus of weapons. It doesn’tlooka lot like blacksmithing, mind you. There is minimal hammering, as far as I can see. No actual in-game singing either, despite the title. I guess it’s possible for you to always sing at the screen if it helps with your APM. If you dislike crafting screens in video games, this is your worst nightmare....

Madonna, Dark Souls and Mario meet in a sweet and confounding swimming experiment based on a PS1 obscurity

Here to remind us that the PS1 was capable of colours beside “existential grey” isWater Level/b.l.u.e. EXPLORATION, from New York City-based game designerHatim Benhsain. It’s a free downloadable experiment inspired by b.l.u.e. In Benhsain’s rework, b.l.u.e. has become a game about games swimming through each other. It reminds me a little of synthesising the geography inMu Cartographer. Benhsain includes a link to aresource pagewith some tools and examples of plunderludic games....

The Witcher 4 has entered "the most intensive phase of development", say CD Projekt

Game director Sebastian Kalemba has also beentalking the announcement up on social media. “No stopping now!” “Stay tuned for what’s on the other side of the coin!” Perhaps a picture of a Witcher accompanying the words “Witcher 4”. The next Witcher game may not be called The Witcher 4, mind you. I imagine video game publishers have similar concerns. As of this March, there wereover 400 CD Projekt staffworking on Polaris....

After all, she has a right to see whatyou’redoing inherhouse. Why won’t you answer the door?...

Ye gads, Black Friday week means the PS5 DualSense – a surprisingly great PC controller – is on sale for once

Which is a shame, as its a very, very good gamepad, including for PC playage. TheDS4Windowsutility can help with that, though.

If Amnesia: The Dark Descent were actually Amnesia: The Dark Ascent, it would be White Knuckle

White Knuckle reverses the flow. You are already Down; by extrapolation, you must now go Up. Possibly, you are Down because you are a manifestation of the aforementioned Badness. Possibly, they are the Real Heroes. It doesn’t really matter, because you don’t have a choice. There is a wall of unspeakable flesh coming up the tunnel behind you. To avoid becoming part of it, you must climb. “White Knuckle is a first person speed climbing game,” explains the Steam page....
