How To Get The Shovel And Sledge Hammer In Blue Prince

Fri, 04/11/2025 - 00:00

Do you want to get the Shovel and Sledge Hammer in Blue Prince? These items are very useful, especially in your runs where there are several objects that you can dig up or break. However, randomization can become a problem, which is why we have a guide to help you prepare.

How to get the Shovel and Sledge Hammer in Blue Prince

The Shovel and the Sledge Hammer are extremely important to have as you explore the inner recesses of the manor and the outer areas, too. The former allows you to dig through dirt piles to discover resources, such as gold, gems, and keys (including some unique variants). The latter, meanwhile, lets you break open locked trunks/chests, as opposed to wasting keys just to open them.

Unfortunately, the Shovel and Sledge Hammer in Blue Prince are totally randomized. The randomization doesn't just apply to their locations, but also their actual availability in each run. As such, you're not always guaranteed to see them everyday in the manor, but there are a few ways to increase your chances of acquiring them.

How To Solve The Parlor Puzzle In Blue Prince

Fri, 04/11/2025 - 00:00

Do you want to solve the Parlor Puzzle in Blue Prince? The Parlor Room itself has a fairly high chance of appearing among the drafting options in the manor. The activity within also relies more on logical deduction, with a bit of humor on the side.

How to solve the Parlor Puzzle in Blue Prince

The Parlor Puzzle involves three boxes--blue, white, and black--with different statements/clues. If you read the note on the desk, it should tell you that:

  • At least one of the statements is true.
  • At least one of the statements is false.
  • Only one of the boxes has a reward.

Once you think you have the answer, pick up the Wind-Up Key and use it on the container. If you guessed correctly, you'll be able to pick up two gems.

Nike Released GoldenEye 007-Inspired Sneakers, And They Quickly Sold Out

Thu, 04/10/2025 - 23:37

Nearly 27 years ago, GoldenEye 007 was a little too late to arrive alongside the James Bond movie that shares the same name. But it was just in time to become a breakout hit on Nintendo 64 and one of the most popular shooters ever made. Nike recently paid homage to one of 007's best video games with a pair of sneakers, but if you didn't grab them then you may have already missed your chance.

Via GQ, Nike released the Nike Air Max 1 Low Poly Big Head Mode sneakers earlier this week for $160 and they sold out almost immediately. The name is a reference to GoldenEye 007's Big Head Mode, which gave Bond a comically oversized noggin.

Thu, 04/10/2025 - 23:35

Bungie is about to jump into its next generation of shooters with Marathon, a series it's reviving after being largely dormant for almost three decades. Little has been seen since the announcement, and while there is a planned gameplay reveal this weekend, Bungie recently confirmed that PC and Xbox players won't need a PSN account to play the extraction shooter.

Eurogamer is reporting that over on the Marathon Discord channel, a user said they were "spooked" by the idea of having to use a PSN login to play. The Marathon team replied quite clearly that players wouldn't need one.

"Marathon will not require a PlayStation Account for players on PC and Xbox."

Days Gone Remastered Horde Mode Detailed For PS5 And PC

Thu, 04/10/2025 - 23:15

Sony has revealed more details about the new Horde Assault mode in Days Gone Remastered, which sees players fighting against an endless wave of zombi-I mean, Freakers.

When Horde Assault begins, players start with a sidearm weapon and must fight through an initial wave of enemies to reach their bike. As players travel through the open region on their bike, they'll come across supply boxes that'll drop random weapons like the newly added flamethrower.

Side jobs are mini-objectives that grant additional EXP and can seemingly provide rewards like more ammo. Those who reach the 30-minute mark will have the chance to face off against the Ultimate Horde, which is an endless wave of enemies that'll hunt players down.

Palworld Dev Reacts To "AI Slop" Claims, Says It's "Complete Nonsense"

Thu, 04/10/2025 - 23:01

When Palworld was first released in early 2024, one of the criticisms levied against the game in some circles pertained to allegations of the developer using generative AI. Palworld communications director and publishing manager, John "Bucky" Buckley, has now responded, discussing how these claims hurt the people at the studio. He also said the allegations are "complete nonsense."

Asked by IGN how the allegations of "AI slop" impacted the workers at Pocketpair, Buckley said, "Massively, massively, massively, massively."

"That is by far I would say the biggest kind of thing that was ever against us, still to this day. Go to any Palworld posts or any news article about Palworld, or Reddit post, you'll see someone say, 'I hate this company. They use AI,' and it's complete nonsense. It's upsetting," he added.

Studio Ghibli Blu-Ray Steelbook Editions Discounted To As Low As $15 At Amazon

Thu, 04/10/2025 - 08:03
See at Amazon

Studio Ghibli fans can expand their Blu-ray collection for cheap this week thanks to Amazon's deals on the popular Limited Edition Steelbooks. Many of the Japanese animated studio's best films are available for $19 or less. The best part about Studio Ghibli's Steelbook Editions is that each one has the same design aesthetic, so they look great next to each other regardless of how you choose to display the colorful cases.

Studio Ghibli Movies on Blu-ray - Limited Edition Steelbooks

At the moment, the cheapest Studio Ghibli Steelbook is Ponyo for $15. The beloved 2008 fantasy film was written and directed by Studio Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki. It was the highest-grossing Ghibli film in North America until The Boy and the Heron nabbed the crown last year. The Boy and the Heron is the only Ghibli film to release on 4K Blu-ray. The 4K Limited Edition Steelbook is discounted from $45 to $30.

Three Limited Edition Steelbooks are up for grabs for $17.89 each: Porco Rosso, From Up on Poppy Hill, and When Marnie Was There. All three are marked as "limited-time deals" by Amazon, so these are likely to disappear at the end of the week.

Anker 737 Laptop Power Bank - 140W, 24,000mAh $50 (was $150)

This power bank should be of particular interest to those with a gaming laptop or a power-hungry portable PC. Most battery packs in the $50 price range can't keep up with the power drain when gaming on a laptop. With the Anker 737, you'll be able to extend your playtime while away from an outlet.

Even if you don't have a gaming laptop, this high-end battery pack is a great choice for Steam Deck, MacBooks, Nintendo Switch, smartphones, and tablets. Its 24,000mAh capacity can fully charge an iPhone 16 Pro four times.

Anker is one of the most trusted names in the portable charging space, and the 737 is one of the manufacturer's most popular models thanks to its premium feature set. The battery pack has a digital display to show key figures such as input/output, the battery life of the power bank itself, and a charging time estimate for the device that's plugged into the included 140W USB-C to USB-C cable. The cable supports 3.1 fast charging for compatible devices such as smartphones and select laptops.

The Last Of Us 3 Could Happen If The Stars Align, Neil Druckmann Says

Thu, 04/10/2025 - 04:18

Is there going to be a third The Last of Us game? Given the big success of the first two games and the HBO series, many are expecting more entries in the game series. But Naughty Dog boss Neil Druckmann says it would take something special for the studio to make a third game.

He told ComicBook that he's currently focused on the TV show--which was just renewed for a third season--along with the game he's directing, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. He's not ruling out a third The Last of Us game, but he's not confirming it either.

"Back at Naughty Dog, we're now working on Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, which is something we've been working on for many years. That is taking up all of our time," he said. "I am treating these projects like it's the last thing I will ever work on. So my assumption is that there will be no more. If the stars align, and everything comes into place, who knows?"

CoD: Black Ops 6 And Warzone Patch Notes Include Nerf For Terminator Skin

Thu, 04/10/2025 - 04:11

A small update has arrived to both Black Ops 6 And Warzone. One of the major highlights included in the patch notes is an adjustment for Call of Duty's frustratingly hard-to-see Terminator T-800 operator skin.

The Terminator T-800 operator's Endo Titanium Core skin is nerfed in both Black Ops 6 and Warzone. This specific operator skin can be very difficult to see in dark corners of the maps, and according to the patch notes, the skin received a "visibility adjustment to ease target identification."

A post from CharlieIntel shows a side-by-side comparison of the skin before and after the visual update, which players are already commenting on to express that the change wasn't drastic enough.

The Last Of Us Season 3 Announced Before Season 2 Has Even Premiered

Thu, 04/10/2025 - 02:01

Ahead of the Season 2 premiere of HBO's The Last of Us, the network has announced The Last of Us Season 3. This was always expected, of course, as showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann have long maintained that Season 2 will only tell part of the story of The Last of Us: Part II.

"We approached Season 2 with the goal of creating something we could be proud of. The end results have exceeded even our most ambitious goals, thanks to our continued collaboration with HBO and the impeccable work of our unparalleled cast and crew," Mazin said in a statement (via Variety).

Druckmann, for his part, said working on the TV show has been a "career highlight" for him. "I am grateful for the fans' enthusiastic and overwhelming support," Druckmann said.

Don't Believe Those Titanfall 3 Rumors You've Heard

Thu, 04/10/2025 - 01:39

A report recently emerged claiming to have new details on Titanfall 3, but there is more to the story.

Reporter Jeff Grubb of GameSpot sister site Giant Bomb said on GameBreaking News today that people might want to temper their expectations for a new Titanfall game. As we've known for some time, there is a "skunkworks" team inside Titanfall studio Respawn now working on a new project. And it is true that this team is tinkering with gameplay elements involving titans, Grubb said.

However, any such project that could theoretically emerge from this skunkworks unit would likely be years away, Grubb added. There is also a possibility that whatever is being made by this team doesn't make it to release. That would be normal part of the creative process, after all.

Switch 2 Is Not Launching Day One In China And Was Never Likely Planned To

Thu, 04/10/2025 - 01:21

It was reported today that Nintendo will not release the Switch 2 in China on day one, but that should come as no surprise. A report from Nikkei said Nintendo is doing demand-checks first before deciding when or if it will launch the new console in China.

Industry analyst Daniel Ahmad of Niko Partners said the delay isn't exactly a notable event because the Switch 2 was never going to launch in China on day one anyway "given the approvals needed."

"China will turn to the grey market to import consoles from overseas in June (Except from Japan maybe lol). Nintendo will explore options for an official launch in China," Ahmad said.

Some PS5 Owners Are Getting Animated Backgrounds

Thu, 04/10/2025 - 01:17

It seems like Sony has quietly rolled out animated PS5 backgrounds, but only a few select owners have received them.

Spotted by Twitter user chi-m02, it looks like some players are able to change the background to several new background animations featuring PlayStation's biggest franchises. 13 have been confirmed so far, which include:

  • Astro Bot
  • Days Gone
  • Demon's Souls
  • Ghost of Tsushima
  • Ghost of Yotei
  • God of War Ragnarok
  • Horizon: Call of the Wild
  • Horizon Forbidden West
  • Lego Horizon Adventures
  • Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
  • Rise of Ronin
  • Stellar Blade
  • MLB The Show 25

It's also important to point out that these animated backgrounds are seemingly only for PS5's home page and not fully fledged themes like the 25th Anniversary classic ones. The demand for themes is high among PS5 owners, as many of them were upset when PlayStation revealed that the classic anniversary themes would be removed. However, PlayStation clarified that they would return at a later date.

Razer Is Another Casualty In The US Trade War, As It Removes Its Gaming Laptops From Sale

Thu, 04/10/2025 - 01:11

Following US president Donald Trump's announcement of massive tariffs on major manufacturing hubs like China, Taiwan, and Vietnam--and dozens of other countries--Razer has removed its new Blade gaming laptops for sale in the US. While they were available to preorder, the landing page for these laptops only shows a "notify me" option.

Amazon and Best Buy have also pulled their pages for the new laptops, but if you really need one, Best Buy is offering refurbished Razer Blade laptops for now. It's not clear if these will be the only products that Razer no longer sells in the US for now or if they'll return. It's also likely that the prices on goods like this will rise as manufacturers aim to absord the cost of the new tariffs.

The laptop is available to preorder in other countries currently, but Razer has yet to officially comment on the tariffs (via The Verge). It's not the only tech giant dealing with the fallout from the Trump administration's "Liberation Day" announcement, as companies like Framework and Micron have also paused sales of some of its devices in the US for now.

Combo Breaker FGC Event "Mortally Injured" By Tariffs, Says Event Director

Thu, 04/10/2025 - 01:02

The gaming world has been turned upside-down in recent days thanks to US president Donald Trump's tariffs on dozens of countries around the world. Nintendo was forced to delay preorders of the upcoming Switch 2 console in both the US and Canada, while Razer removed its entire line of gaming laptops from direct sale in the US. Now we can add "annual conventions" to the list, as the event director of one prominent fighting game tournament has weighed on how the event could be affected moving forward.

Rick "TheHadou" Thiher--who acts as both general manager of Evo and the event director for Combo Breaker in Illinois--took to BlueSky to comment on the tariffs, saying that "of all the ways [Combo Breaker] could bleed out over the years, mortally injured by tariffs is an absurd surprise." In response to a reply on that post, Thiher expanded on how these tariffs have wreaked havoc on the event.

Street Fighter 6

"The event has discussed at length that our sustainability is rooted in an annual merchandise line," Thiher said in the reply. "Merchandise coming in right now has 49%-104% markups. There’s no sales potential in shirts with an MSRP of $90 USD, so the line is likely burned expenses. Very bad reality to be in."

The Whimsical Metroidvania Disney Illusion Island Is Coming To PS5 And Xbox Soon

Thu, 04/10/2025 - 00:44

After launching in 2023 as a Switch exclusive, Disney Illusion Island is now coming to PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC on May 30. The port has been rebranded to Disney Illusion Island Starring Mickey & Friends, and it now comes bundled with two previously released DLCs and a new DLC featuring Scrooge McDuck. Preorders are available now, and despite all the included DLC, it's available for $30--that's $10 cheaper than the base game launched for on Switch. That makes this an excellent time to dive in and explore everything this family-friendly metroidvania has to offer.

Disney Illusion Island Starring Mickey and Friends Preorder BonusesDisney Illusion Island Starring Mickey & Friends

Physical editions of the game come with an exclusive poster, though it’s only available while supplies last. This isn’t listed as a preorder bonus, but since inventory is limited, reserving a copy of the game is the best way to grab one before it disappears. The poster appears to be a universal bonus available at most retailers. We've verified it's bundled with purchases at Best Buy and GameStop, though double-check the listing if you're purchasing from other vendors.

Disney Illusion Island Starring Mickey & Friends Standard Edition $30 | Releases May 30

This is the only version of the game up for preorder. Along with the base game and its three DLCs (Keeper Up, Mystery in Motion, and CASH featuring Scrooge McDuck), you’ll get the aforementioned poster while supplies last. Since this is $10 cheaper than the Switch version and it's loaded with DLC, it’s an easy recommendation for anyone looking to get started with the platformer. Physical copies of the game can be purchased at GameStop and Best Buy. PC players can also find it on Steam and GOG.

Expect more retailers to open preorders in the coming weeks.

Preorder at Best Buy Preorder at GameStop

If you’re a Switch owner yet to play the platformer, you’ll find it available for $40 at Amazon and Best Buy. That makes the upcoming edition on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC a much better option, as it’s cheaper yet bundled with additional goodies.

PlayStation Portal Update Adds More Features To Cloud Streaming

Thu, 04/10/2025 - 00:35

Sony has announced that it'll be pushing out a new update later today for the PlayStation Portal remote player. The new update will focus on the Cloud Streaming Beta feature.

Players will now be able to utilize the Create button just like they would on a PS5 DualSense controller when cloud streaming select games from the PS Plus Catalog. Pressing it once opens up the create menu, holding it down takes a screenshot, and pressing it twice enables video recordings.

Gameplay will now pause during cloud streaming sessions when players open up the PS Portal quick menu and also when a system error message is displayed at the bottom of the screen. It will also pause if the Portal is put into rest mode. However, if it's in rest mode for more than 15 seconds, the cloud streaming session will be disconnected. Players will also be notified when a session is about to close after 10 minutes of inactivity.
