Does The Lord Of The Rings Series Have A Hidden Title

However, the auspicious acquisition—welcome good news after some recent behind-the-scenes casting drama—has seemingly been overshadowed by a clapperboard, some magic marker, and a renewed resolve by the fandom to discern the Lord of the Rings show’s title. Thus far, at press time, one fan on Reddit has theorized—with a visual aid—that the last word in the string might be “Project,” as implied by what appears to be a capital “P” and the subsequent dip of a lower case “j....

Doom Music Recreated Using Dualsense Ps5 Controller S Haptic Feedback

In Game Rant’s PS5 console review, we discussed the DualSense controller and how its Haptic Feedback capabilities could be a game-changer for video game development. Through small vibrations, the controller can simulate a number of interactions, from the pitter-patter of rain on an umbrella to a character’s feet getting stuck in mud. While most gamers have yet to even go hands-on with the DualSense controller, some are already showing the potential of the PS5 accessory device through a number of mods....

Dragon Quest The Legendary Weapons From Each Game Explained

Dragon Quest is a franchise that is utterly legendary in the JRPG genre.

Dungeons Dragons How To Get Started Writing Your Own Homebrew

Homebrew content is becoming more and more common in Dungeons and Dragons recently, as new fans have poured into the hobby (partially thanks to the success of podcast campaigns like Critical Role). Rather than try to understand the dense and unclear world of D&D (and/or purchase one of the pricey pre-made campaigns), many new DMs would prefer to just come up with something on their own. Homebrewing content is an exciting prospect - until you sit down and start writing....

Dungeons And Dragons Artificer Alchemist Breakdown

The newest sourcebook for Dungeons and Dragons, entitled Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything, released last month. The book has brought some big changes to 5th edition, including the much-buzzed about racial updates. Beside these mechanical updates, Tasha’s Cauldron brought a ton of new subclasses into the accepted canon, with some reprints from other sourcebooks and some new material. The introduction to the book makes it clear that using any of the new mechanics or subclasses is optional and up to the DM’s discretion and house rules, however....

Ubisoft revealed its own upcoming game subscription service at E3 2019, Uplay+. Joining will grant players access to over one hundred Ubisoft games on PC, all from a single unified ecosystem, as they describe it. Subscribers will also benefit from a 20% discount off their next purchase on the Ubisoft store.

While similar, Ubisoft seems to be making a leap of faith into the unknown by forming partnership with the upcoming Google Stadia....

Every Star Trek Fan Owes Rachael Ancheril S Mom A Debt Of Gratitude

This Star Trek: Discovery interview contains spoilers for “Die Trying.” Nhan might be the most unique “redshirt” in this history of Star Trek. Not only was she the first person to wear a literal red shirt on Star Trek: Discovery, but her character has also managed to survive, partially by trading her security officer’s uniform for the mostly-blue DISCO Starfleet uniform. “I kept asking if I could go back to it,” Rachael Ancheril tells Den of Geek....

Everyone Needs A Friend Like Persona 5 S Makoto Niijima

Persona 5 is a game all about friendship. There’s a lot of other complex themes in the mix, but at its heart, it’s about a group of buds coming together to help each other through adversity. The first time I played it, I understood this in principle, but I wasn’t engrossed by the game enough to actually care about these connections, or to feel anything especially deep towards them. Revisiting the cast for Persona 5 Strikers has helped me see them in a new light though, and I find myself relating to the characters more, enjoying their company, and feeling like all those folk might have been right when they told me Persona 5 was brilliant, actually....

Fallout 4 Mod Turns All Mannequins Into Lawn Flamingos

An enterprising, mannequin hating modder has released a mod swapping out Fallout 4’s numerous terrifying mannequins for more unassuming lawn flamingos. The wasteland of Bethesda’s Fallout 4 is filled with plenty of dangerous irradiated creatures, trigger-happy lunatics, and easter eggs. It also seems to be littered with mannequins - the dead eyed, unsettling department store decorations lurking around corners and in the shadows. These pale skinned abominations have caused many a wasteland wanderer to waste a bullet on the human-shaped things, and have quickly become the bane of Fallout inhabitants....

Fallout 4 Player Creates Retro Music Video

A Fallout 4 fan has created an impressive music video made from clips of gameplay and an old 1950’s hit song by Betty Hutton called ‘It’s Oh So Quiet’. Fallout 4 often brings a nostalgic, old-world feel to gamers thanks to its 1950’s-style culture and vintage design, despite the futuristic technology often at play. Thanks to the unique retro-future setting, Bethesda was able to put in a lot of real-life 1950’s era music into Fallout 4, and the songs help establish a lot of credibility to the setting....

Deus Ex Mankind Divided Bosses Can T Be Beat With Dialogue Eidos Clarifies

Deus Ex: Human Revolution made a serious blunder when the game forced players who chose a stealthing playstyle to face boss characters face-to-face. Many fans of the Deus Ex series were subsequently thrilled to hear that Deus Ex: Mankind Divided would be fully ghostable, and that fights with bosses could be avoided entirely. Unfortunately, it would appear that diplomatic players may not have it quite so easy as first suggested. Gameplay director Patrick Fortier has explained in an interview with Eurogamer exactly how the boss fights will work in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, and what players who focus on stealthing and persuasion can expect....
