Fortnite will show Christopher Nolan’s Inception on Friday, Geoff Keighley announced on Twitter today. In “some international markets,” Party Royale will show Batman Begins or The Prestige instead.
Hey, we’ve got all the way to Wednesday! Welcome back to our daily open thread. My CSA this week is mostly lettuce, including a big head of iceberg lettuce. I’m not a big lettuce fan—is anyone?—and I’m struggling to figure out what to do with them all. I’m a bit intrigued by Helen Rosner’s (stay…
What do you know, it’s Tuesday. Welcome back to our daily open thread. Yesterday I went to the pharmacy and had a socially-distanced adventure with a stranger as we searched for bar soap. It was the most social interaction either of us had had in months, and it was fun, if not a little depressing.…
Welcome to another week, and welcome back to our daily open thread. This morning I made a list of all the things I need to do, from work stuff to various life things, and then tried to rank them in order of priority so I could figure out how to handle them. Because I’m me,…
Despite The Last of Us Part 2’s mixed critical reception, review score aggregator Metacritic shows it with a critical score of 95 out of 100, with a plethora of 10/10s developer Naughty Dog has been happy to tout. The user scores, meanwhile, sit at an abysmal 3.5 out of 10, based on over 31,000 reviews…
Fortnite’s Chapter 2, Season 3 brought a lot of changes to the map, notably dunking most of it underwater. Developer Epic has hinted that the water will recede, and the season trailer showed characters driving vehicles, which hopefully means we’ll be able to ride more than just boats and sharks in the future. While many…
During last night’s EA Play, Apex Legends developer Respawn announced the game’s next collection event, Lost Treasures, alongside upcoming crossplay and a Switch version of the battle royale game. Lost Treasures will feature everything you’d expect—new gameplay, new cosmetics—as well as technophile character Crypto with a mustache. I’m here for it. Crypto’s mustache appears to…
The weekend is for so many chores that I’ve put off that now there are far too many. It’s also for playing video games while I try to decide if I can put off the chores some more. I imagine a lot of you are playing The Last of Us 2 this weekend, and I’m…
Everything in The Last of Us 2 takes work. Every weapon reload, killing blow, and crafted item takes time and button presses. At times the game is painfully slow; even in the most action-packed sections you put in effort to move things forward. You’re paid for this work in a grim story and explicit violence.…
This has been a very long week, but it’s nearly over! Welcome back to our daily open thread. New York is set to hit “phase 2” of the city’s reopening soon. I was talking to some friends about what that means for their businesses—one owns a bar, and one works in a retail store—and while…
Welcome to Wednesday—we’re halfway there!—and welcome back to our daily open thread. I’ve been up since 5am covering the new Fortnite season, because it is my job to get up at such ungodly hours to play video games. I’ve always wanted to be a morning person, but I can never quite pull it off with…
Fortnite’s Season 3 is here, at long last, and things look different. The map is flooded, a giant shark keeps landing on me, and there are more NPCs to fight. As suspected, the battle royale island is now largely covered in water. While the landmarks seem much the same, many of them are now islands.…
Welcome to Tuesday, a day that isn’t Monday, and welcome back to our daily open thread. I’ve been feeling really overwhelmed lately, a feeling I bet a lot of you can relate to. There feels like too much to do all the time and I’m just…trapped in my house with it all. New York is…
Klei’s excellent turn-based stealth game Invisible Inc is now on Nintendo Switch. The Switch version includes the Contingency Plan DLC.
After several delays, Fortnite players finally got to see Midas’ doomsday clock hit zero. After a lot of fireworks and some dreamy trips to an alternate dimension, Fortnite’s island sank beneath the sea. In today’s event, called “The Device,” NPC henchmen could be heard panicking before the event began. After the countdown ended, pillars lifted…
Welcome to another week, and welcome back to our daily open thread. I had a funny weekend. On the plus side, I made a really good rhubarb galette, including finally succeeding at creating a flaky crust instead of the crumbly, tasteless mess I usually come up with. (You food processor pie dough people had the…
Among Trees, a wicked pretty survival game, is now in early access on the Epic Games Store. It looks extremely my jam.
Gonner 2, a sequel to the very excellent platformer Gonner, is coming in “late 2020.” Looks like it will be on Steam and Switch.
The weekend is for this week being over, at long last. Time to take a bath, bake some treats, and play some video games. After reviewingThe Last of Us 2, I’m really looking forward to playing something relaxing. I’ve let my Animal Crossing island languish a bit lately, which means I’ll have plenty of weeds…
It’s Thursday—we can do this! Welcome back to our daily open thread. Yesterday I turned on my air conditioner, which I always try to avoid for as long as possible. While working from home has been nice in a lot of ways, I’m not excited about what it’s going to do to my bills this…
