Midnight Ghost Hunt is a beautifully silly Prop Hunt revival

Well run interference!, yells lead developer Sam Malone over my panicked giggling. Ive escaped in the chaos, but Sam hasnt been so lucky. In case it isnt clear, all of this is an absolute riot. Being either side of the chase feels electric. The hunters dont usually get greeted by an astronaut cheerily and immediately betraying his host ghosts location. Sensible ghosts will instead scatter themselves across the map, posing as inanimate objects in noble Prop Hunt tradition....

Place historical events in the correct order in WikiTrivia

The answers are “Siemens” and “after”, respectively. You then drag the card onto a timeline, slotting it in between your previously placed events. Get it wrong and the card turns red; get it wrong three times and it’s game over. Personally, it turns out I’m alright with the basic order of human history. I can separate figures by centuries, and place civilizations in the correct order. This is the kind of game where I don’t mind getting answers wrong, anyway....

Rainbow Six Extraction best guns: the best weapons in Rainbow Six Extraction

V308 The V308 is by far the best gun in Rainbow Six Extraction. It has very high damage for an Assault Rifle, allowing you to shred through Archaeans with ease. The V308 is available for Lion at level 1, which is another reason it takes the top spot. AK-12 The AK-12 has very similar damage to the V308. However, the AK-12 does have a lot more recoil, which knocks it down to second place....

Rainbow Six Extraction enemy types: all Archaean enemies and their weak spots revealed

Simply put, you should shoot enemies in their weak spot, and avoid shooting them in their carapace. Nests start off dormant, and can be safely shot to destroy them. Don’t worry, they won’t wake up when you shoot them. The only way they can be woken up is if a nearby Archaean notices you. After a moment, the Archaean will howl, awakening nearby Nests and calling nearby enemies. Blinding Spore Blinding Spores are more of an environmental hazard than an enemy in their own right....

Shenmue The Animation will premiere first of 13 episodes on February 5th

But where’s the forklift racing? I missedthe announcement in 2020that among the many game-to-anime adaptations coming our way wasShenmue. It’ll begin airing on February 5th with 13 episodes produced. The animation looks pretty rough to me, at least when compared to Netflix’s increasingly swish productions. Plus, a lot of what made Shenmue weird and interesting was its unusual commitment to simulating the world. If the anime doesn’t aim for that same state, can it really call itself Shenmue?...
