Note that Crytek did not state that itdidn’tnot pay people. The statement is carefully worded to provide little clarity, just circuitous reassurance....

Cyber Sub-Zero sneaks into MKX as Triborg’s fourth variation

Triborg looking cool I never understood the popularity ofMortal Kombat‘s cyber-ninjas. I mean, you’d think if anyone could appreciate a pack of robots in a fighting game it would be me, but Cyrax, Sektor and the rest of the metal gang always seemed a tad too #Darksiders2 for my taste. Given the excitement surrounding Triborg, the 3-in-1 cyber-ninja set to arrive in the second Kombat Pack, I’m the odd man out....

Download this free track off the Hotline Miami 2 OST

‘The Way Home’ by Magic Sword I’ve stopped playingHotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, but the soundtrack hasn’t gone anywhere — well, not all of it. I said I’dplay the songs on repeatuntil I grew sick of them and, yep, that has mostly happened. But these things are cyclical, you know? Today’s free release of “The Way Home” is here to pull me back in. Now, this isn’t my favoriteHotline Miami 2track — in fact, it’s not even my favorite Magic Sword track featured in the game — but free is free and it’d be thoughtless of me to not pass along this info....

FFXIV Wachumeqimeqi Deliveries: All recipes and ingredients listed

Wachumeqimeqi Deliveries are an amazing way to not only gain a ton of experience for your crafters inFinal Fantasy XIVbut also get into the nitty-gritty of the lore in Yak Tural and beyond. If you’re looking to level your crafters from 90 to 100 inDawntrail, I strongly recommend doing theWachumeqimeqi Deliveriesside quests. While some of the crafts themselves can be a little challenging with under-leveled gear (if you’re like me and stubbornly refuse to buy any new gear beforehitting 100), the stories told by the Wachumeqimeqi NPCs are touching, and each grants a unique title....
