RELATED: Things We Want From Bloodborne 2 (& Other Things We Don’t) Miyazaki ended up using his genius to help develop what is easily one of the greatest action-adventure titles of all time, but Bloodborne is definitely not a game for the weak-willed or faint-hearted. The hard-as-nails nature of the game’s combat, coupled with some truly horrific imagery, makes Bloodborne an oppressive yet satisfying experience from start to end. Players should definitely avoid the following mistakes if they wish to have the best time possible with this masterpiece....

McConnell issued his comments on Friday after speaking with Adela Raz, the U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan. As U.S. troops have begun withdrawing under Biden’s command, the Taliban has quickly retaken most of the country. “This debacle was not only foreseeable, it was foreseen,” McConnell said. “The President and his team actively decided against a far more responsible approach to preserving our national security interests and protecting our Afghan partners.”...

The Kentucky Republican said it was “simply not true” and a “big lie” to call the new voting law racist or a return to Jim Crow-era restrictions on minority communities. The new Georgia voting law tightens restrictions on absentee ballot voting; makes it illegal for election officials to mail out absentee ballots to everyone on the voter roll; threatens a misdemeanor charge against those who hand out water and food at polling stations; and hands the state legislature greater control over the Georgia Election Board....

McConnell said hours after Ginsburg’s death on Friday that a nominee from President Donald Trump would receive confirmation hearings as quickly as possible. Some Democratic lawmakers said that filling the seat should wait until after the upcoming November election.

They are sixth in the table this season, with 31 points on the board above Chelsea and Liverpool. Fulham’s performances so far indicate not only that they can avoid relegation but possibly fight for a European place as well. A big reason behind this is their manager Marco Silva’s impact on Fulham....

My mentor, Jose Rojas, was a spiritual advisor to Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. What he said, reminded me that people of integrity, do not just fight for the people who agree with them. They fight for the equality of everyone. “Heather,” he said, “leaders lead. They protect the people in their sphere, even when those people don’t agree with them. Leaders lead.” His words washed over me, not just because of what it meant for my own experience, but for the questions it plagued me with for our country....

With its randomly generated worlds and freeform building mechanics, Minecraft has earned a place in the hearts of creative gamers worldwide since the game’s initial release in 2011. Aided in no small part by its availability on nearly every device capable of playing video games, Minecraft has grown to become the best-selling game of all time and one of the jewels in publisher Xbox Game Studios’ crown. Minecraft’s creation was partially inspired by the joy of building with LEGO, creator Markus “Notch” Persson even briefly working on a canceled LEGO Minecraft game, so it’s no wonder some gamers are using the real-world building blocks as inspiration for their own Minecraft creations....

Reddit user hecbac has submitted a brief video that shows a series of Minecraft boxes that have been made in real life. In the footage, hecbac turns a dial on one of the boxes, which activates a simple Redstone circuit and lights up each box.

Oculus Rift support for Minecraft is coming specifically to the Windows 10 edition of the game, in recognition of its one year anniversary. Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition released on July 29th, 2015, but fans shouldn’t expect Oculus Rift support to be added tomorrow to align with its exact anniversary. Since Microsoft said the feature would come within the next few weeks, an August release seems more likely.

BlueTwelve Studio’s release, on the other hand, is a fairly linear experience that enjoyed a surge in popularity when it came out in July 2022. That was somewhat due to Stray launching as part of PS Plus’ Extra and Premium tiers, giving players access from day one. But primarily, the game’s success can be attributed to its melding of engaging gameplay, a rich atmosphere, immersive environments, catchy music and, of course, a tabby cat as the player character....

The video game industry is filled with iconic titles, but few have the popularity and staying power of Minecraft. Despite its simple graphics and advancing age, the game is still beloved by many and Minecraft streamers still have a lot of power.

KevinJNguy01 has created several clever Minecraft portraits in the past, most using a unique trick like stacking thousands of colored glass blocks together so when the sun shines through them at a specific in-game time of day, an image is revealed. The trick employed in the Redditor’s latest creation is maybe the simplest one yet – knowledge of how water flows on descending blocks.

These creations are typically manifested in one of two forms: either works of art or mechanical contraptions. Mechanical creations typically take the form of machines like a moving Minecraft space shuttle, while the works of art can be pictures made of blocks, buildings, or sculptures/models.

Add-ons, on the other hand, could make a returning player feel totally unfamiliar with the game. They can do almost anything, even make one play as a cow or have grass blocks randomly explode. Resource packs change the way a game looks and sounds. Texture packs function similarly. Behavior packs change how the game functions, much like mods do. A Minecraft Redditor introduced a combination pack that essentially adds Mario Kart to the game....

Caves and Cliffs part 2 released in November 2021, and shortly after The Wild update for Minecraft was revealed with a general 2022 release date.

Something else that The Wild update will bring to Minecraft is a larger focus on sound, as players will now have to consider the noisiness of their walking, eating, and other activities....
