Month: December 2024

Grand Theft Auto Online’s latest update seems to pay tribute to the original high-end criminal: pirates. Along with the usual suite of discounts, bonuses, and a new vehicle to purchase, players can find shipwrecks along the game’s coasts this week with scraps of clothing that can be combined into an old-timey outfit.

This week’s GTA Online update was shared via the Rockstar Newswire, but you can find all the important details down below.

Land ho!

The standout additions to GTA Online this week are the shipwrecks that are turning up on the shores of Los Santos. Inside are treasures and scraps of clothing, and while it’s not clear what the treasures are, seven of the scraps can eventually be combined to create a new outfit, although we don’t know exactly what it is or what it looks like. Players can find one shipwreck per day, and shipwrecks will also spawn in different locations each day.

New wheels for the week

Escape IT, an IT-themed escape room, has finally opened its doors in Las Vegas after being delayed last year.

New IT-themed Escape Room Spans Over More Than 30,000 Square Feet

Escape IT spans more than 30,000 square feet and is described as a revolutionary new take on traditional escape room experiences. Developed by Jason Eagon, the founder of Fright Dome and the Saw escape room, and Warner Bros, Escape IT is inspired by one of the most horrifying film franchises of all time, “IT”, which is based on Stephen King’s book of the same name.

The attraction features 20 interactive rooms with state-of-the-art special FX, lighting, animatronics, and live actors to create a fully immersive and terrifying experience.

The attraction aims to put guests’ skills and critical thinking to the test as they try to escape the clutches of Pennyw…

Macau is famous all over the Asian market as the gambling heaven. However, it seems that it struggles with non-gaming investments. As Zeng Zhongly, a professor from the Center for Gaming and Tourism Studies at the Macao Polytechnic University, thinks, the gaming operators from the city would have to try to repeat the same mistakes that already happened with non-gaming investments to establish economic diversification in the region.

Bigger investment in the non-gaming projects:

The professor thinks that more creativity is required in order to get on track with non-gaming projects. That approach is required if gaming operators want to stay on top during their 10-year concessions in Macau.

The Macau government recently decided that the necessary steps towards diversification of the local economy include planning and implementing new strategies. Six gaming operators already submitted their propo…

Dublin. Filled to the brim with gigs, events, and nightlife, I often get a ping of nostalgia just looking at the spire—thanks to my years there spent chasing my degree. However, after looking at the crowds of people caught up waiting for a Halloween parade that would never come, I’m very glad I wasn’t back there this week.

Seemingly coming from an AI-generated website based out of Pakistan, thousands of people in Dublin, Ireland, crowded around O’Connell Street for a parade that would never come. The site claimed to have originated this parade is called “Myspirithalloween” and appears to have stolen that name from Spirit Halloween, the Halloween retailer that focuses specifically on costumes, decorations, and general festivities.

The attached Facebook page has since deleted all its posts and its Pinterest page has fake Mr Beast giveaways being used to promote (also) fake events. The original Dublin Halloween parade page also appears to have been deleted from the website, but there are still plenty of other Irish events advertised on there, some of which appear to actually be real.

The Myspirithalloween website is plastered in ads and there’s tons of AI-…

100% and any% speedruns are usually the biggest ticket speedrun categories in most games, but most games aren’t Baldur’s Gate 3. This steamy RPG’s copious coitus led speedrunners to see just how fast they could get it on in a given playthrough, leading to a lively sex% category (it’s even tracked by speedrun.com!)

First spotted by Eurogamer, one of the great maestros of BG3 speedrunning, who goes by Mae (or “maeeeeee”), already has a lock on the Gale-bombing, Shadowheart-boxing any% record, and they’ve now set a new world’s best in the sex% category they helped establish by banging in Baldur’s Gate 3 in under two minutes.

The basic contours of the run are similar to when Mae brought it under eight minutes back in August: Githyanki psionic buffs and oodles of strength give you big, beefy broad jumps to bypass combat and terrain alike. Mae’s chosen avatar for this historic occasion was an ugly Gith goofball dubbed “EXTREME COITUS HAVER.”

Everyone’s favorite freaky homeschool kid Lae’zel is the easiest bud to bed in Baldur’s Gate 3, but you still have to reach the Grove of Silvanus and let her cyberbully a Tiefling in real life to show her you’re …

Before releasing the PlayStation 5, Sony hyped up its new controller’s unique triggers and advanced haptics as killer new features. And they weren’t wrong—though not many games use the DualSense to its fullest, it’s a great controller. It’s also dead simple to use on PC, and not just in Sony’s PlayStation ports.

Support for the DualSense gamepad’s fancy haptic feedback and adaptive triggers is fairly common in today’s triple-A PC games: Silent Hill 2, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, and Star Wars Outlaws are just a few examples of 2024 games that support the PlayStation 5 controller’s punchy triggers. (You can see a full list of games that work with the DualSense here.)

Thanks to those special features we think the PS5 controller is one of the best PC controllers, though not just because of them. It has to feel good in the hand, too, and it definitely does. It’s also very easy to use on PC, either wired (all you need is a USB-C cable) or wireless via Bluetooth.

Thanks to Steam’s fantastic built-in controller support, turning the DualSense pad into your everyday PC controller is really simple. Plug, play, press buttons. No complex setup here: …
