Swedish Chef Joins ‘The Bear’ Season 3

Posted on by Garry Kerls

HOLLYWOOD – Swedish Chef, the beloved resident chef of the Muppet Show, has joined the cast of FX’s The Bear. The news comes as the critically acclaimed television show gears up for its third season set to release in 2024.

The celebrity chef will play Maurice Combs, a character described as a former NYC culinary genius that Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) butted heads with in his past. Swedish Chef becomes the latest in the list of prestigious actors to guest star on the show.

“We’re incredibly grateful to have a legendary actor joining our cast this season,” says show creator, Christopher Storer. “Watching a true professional fling fish across the set is like watching Lebron James in the playoffs.”

This guest starring role will be Swedish Chef’s first endeavor outside of the Muppet extended universe. Apart from this, the chef had a cameo cut out of the 2015 Bradley Cooper vehicle, Burnt, after a creative dispute with the film’s director.

“He was a nightmare offset! Refusing to get out of his trailer until his entire entourage of rats and chickens got free range of the craft services. It got to the point where we were losing money behind the scenes all for a disposable cameo that didn’t even push the plot forward.” said Burnt Director, John Wells, in an interview with the Tinsel Town Reporter.

This very public dispute landed Swedish Chef on a Hollywood short list of difficult actors that takes a PR miracle to get off. When questioned about his tumultuous past on set, Swedish Chef told the press, “ I’m ivere-a ouff my vrungduings in zee-a pest und hefe-a deescunnected frum indeefiduoels vhu led me-a istrey. Bork Bork Bork!”

At press time Ayo Edebiri, who plays Sydney, has been spotted with the Muppet guest star leaving a Techno-European dance club sparking dating rumors.

AEW Continental Classic Winner to Receive Hundreds of Additional Belts Because Why Not at This Point

Posted on by HG Punk

JACKSONVILLE – As some of All Elite Wrestling’s greatest continue to clash near the end of the Continental Classic tournament, sources can confirm that the winner won’t just receive three belts, but two hundred and ninety-eight.

“The more belts that are put on the line, the more important the finals match automatically is,” revealed Tony Khan, founder of AEW. “I’ve been wanting to do something like this ever since I saw a picture of Ultimo Dragon holding ten belts on an old message board. Hell, I spent the last three days sketching designs for title belts in anticipation. Bryan can deal with figuring out what’s gonna be on Collision,” continued the booker. When asked if the winner would receive the Real World Championship, the AEW owner ran off, never to be seen again.

In order to make the stunt happen, rival wrestling promotions have been reporting talks with AEW in order to supply their belts.

“I really don’t get Tony Khan sometimes,” recounts Brett Lauderdale, owner of independent wrestling promotion GCW. “I was in the middle of booking another Cardona novelty match and he rang me up and asked if AEW could use our ‘TNT Championship’ – we don’t even run shows on television! Why even go through all the trouble when the winner’s just going to drop all those belts to MJF the next month?“ continued Lauderdale. “I let him use whatever fake belt he wanted, he’s gonna sign all my guys away anyways.”

Eddie Kingston, a participant in the tournament, finds the increased reward to be a massive opportunity.

“Everyone thought I was just a bum who’d never win a belt in my life, now I’m gonna be all draped out in gold,” explained Kingston, who currently has a paltry two belts. “They’re gonna have to call me Mad King Midas after this one, partner. Wrestling is my life, my blood, my spirit, I even took a bunch of CHIKARA dates that didn’t pay me just to wrestle. It’s gonna be the biggest honor of my life to proudly wear a belt that Toshiaki Kawada won in the Budokan in the 90’s. At least I assume so, I can’t be bothered to read every single one of these lineages.”

As of press time, fans of the wrestling company have vowed on social media that they will personally meet the winner of the contest and give him all of the replica belts they’ve bought off of eBay as a bonus.

How To Pick Up A Snowball In GTA 5 Online

Posted on by Michelle Pereira

Snowfall is a rare annual event in GTA Online, not least because the game is set in Los Santos, the GTA counterpart to bright and sunny Los Angeles. With the winter weather comes snowballs and snowball fights, and this GTA Online guide will show you how to pick up snowballs on each platform.

Note that on any platform, this process will have to be repeated in Freeroam if you hop between sessions, as your snowballs are wiped every single time.

How To Pick Up A Snowball In GTA 5 Online On PC

  • Ensure that you are unarmed or bare-handed, by putting away all weapons
  • Stand right on top of, or near snow
  • Press <G> on the keyboard to pack a snowball
  • Repeat up to eight times for a total of nine snowballs in your inventory
  • If it hasn’t automatically swapped to it, open your weapon wheel and choose the snowball

The controls are the same as any other throwable, so simply aim with the mouse or thumbsticks and use your defined fire buttons.

Snowballs are (obviously) single-use only, so you will have to craft more as you go.

You should note that not only does the snowball have a parabolic arc, but it is also quite slow—no frozen fastballs to the face here.

Both headshots and bodyshots are a one-shot kill, but bodyshots can very rarely take two hits to drop an opponent. In Freeroam however, it takes several successful hits to kill players with snowballs, though AI pedestrians only take three.

Confirmed: Best Zelda Game Objectively Whichever One Came Out When You Were 13

Posted on by Travis Madole

TOKYO, JAPAN — Settling decades of debate, Nintendo finally announced today that you were right all along about which ‘Legend of Zelda’ game was the best.

Far enough removed from the release and success of “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom,” series creator Shigeru Miyamoto and series producer Eiji Aonuma have at last confirmed to Hard Drive that the greatest game in the long running franchise is, without reservation, the one that came out during your formative years.

“The last couple Zelda games have been okay, but there’s really no denying that we haven’t quite managed to hit the mark like we did with the one that we released while you were in middle school,” Aonuma admitted. “The level design was clearly superior, and no one can deny that it had the best setting of any Zelda game.”

Legendary Nintendo designer Miyamoto concurred with Aonuma’s statement. “That one also had the most thoughtful story with the most mature themes,” he told us.

“We were making a very deliberate statement with that specific Zelda game. For you to have grasped that, as young as you were, means that you were a particularly sophisticated teenager.”

Miyamoto also dismissed the idea that you only enjoyed that one the most because it came out during a time when you were young enough to still appreciate novel ideas and were also less likely to be bothered by or familiar with derivative ones, saying, “No, it’s just the best one, and that should be clear to everyone.”

Aonuma was quick to reiterate that everyone that ever disagreed with you was categorically wrong. Not even just about Zelda, but all media. He also wanted us to tell you how proud of you he is.

When asked whether or not they would make the game available on future Nintendo hardware, Miyamoto laughed maniacally and threw a GameCube controller at our head.

LEGO Fortnite Cold Resistance

Posted on by Michelle Pereira

Exploring the Frostlands in LEGO Fortnite will come to a sharp standstill if you are not properly equipped to handle the low temperatures. If you want to go into the cold, this guide will illustrate how to gain Cold Resistance with every single thing you can possibly do.

How To Survive The Cold In LEGO Fortnite

There are two primary methods to raise Cold Resistance and stave off the effects of the Cold:

  • Food
  • Charms

Foods are one-off consumables that grant you a time-limited measure of Cold Resistance. Charms are far more reliable and require less micromanagement since they can simply be equipped for permanent Cold Resistance and forgotten about, at least until you have to swap them out when traveling to another biome.

MORE IN FORTNITE:

Food recipes will unlock fairly early on, since the ingredients are readily available. The Charms on the other hand are a mid to late-game unlock, unless you stumble upon each ingredient in a chest through sheer luck.

Secondary methods include having a Torch in hand, or building a Campfire and remaining in its vicinity, but don’t count on either to help by a lot in extreme conditions.

All Cold Resistance Food Recipes In LEGO Fortnite

Spicy Peppers and Spicy Burgers are your two consumable Foods for Cold Resistance. The effects cannot be amplified, neither with a second of the same Food type, nor with the other. Consuming a second Cold Resistance Food will simply reset the countdown timer to two minutes, but never extend it beyond that duration.

They will combine with the effects of a Charm however, visibly raising your Cold Resistance in the temperature bar under your character portrait.

Here are the Cold Resistance Food recipes:

Spicy Peppers Recipe (Rare)

Eat to heal, reduce Hunger, and temporarily increase Cold Resistance.

Don’t burn your tongue.

  • No recipe, just eat it

Gives you 02:00 minutes of Cold Resistance, 1½  Hearts, and +3 Hunger

Spicy Burger Recipe (Rare)

Eat to heal, reduce Hunger, and temporarily increase Cold Resistance.

Like a regular burger, but with a little flair.

  • 1 Flour
  • 1 Meat
  • 1 Spicy Pepper
  • Grill

Gives you 10:00 minutes of Cold Resistance, 4 Hearts, and +10 Hunger

All Cold Resistance Charm Recipes In LEGO Fortnite

Charms do not have a timer on their effects and can be combined with Foods, as well as up to two more of the same Charms (if you can afford to craft them) in order to completely negate Cold status effects. The Heart and Armor bonuses also stack. Cold Resistance Charms in combination are the best way to survive frozen 

The Cold Resistance Charm recipes are as follows:

Inner Fire Charm Recipe (Rare)

Increases resistance to cold temperatures.

Keep yourself nice and toasty.

  • 3 Wool Thread
  • 5 Cut Ruby
  • 8 Brightcore
  • 5 Blast Cores
  • Crafting Bench (Rare)

Cold Resistance, 4 Hearts, and 7 Armor

Inner Fire Charm Recipe (Epic)

Increases resistance to cold temperatures.

In this case, DON’T chill out.

Cold Resistance, 5 Hearts, and 14 Armor

What Is Cold Resistance In LEGO Fortnite

Night time is especially bad in terms of temperature in the Frostland biome, even if you make it unscathed through the day. With the temperature drop comes two status effects: Cold, or worse, Freezing.

Cold will make your character visibly shiver, and deplete a tiny bit of health every few seconds, but it is survivable by using your restorative items because of how gradually it happens. A Torch or a Campfire can also help you along.

How To Get Heavy Wool And Heavy Wool Thread In LEGO Fortnite

Freezing ramps things up to a greater degree, and can slow you down as well. You might make it out with some vigilant health management, but don’t count on it.

This is where Cold Resistance comes in, acting as another form of defense, warding off the effects of the chilly climate.

You can observe it in the top-left corner in the quarter-arc gauge under your character portrait. The further the sky blue bar moves away from the white triangle, the higher your Cold Resistance is. Another gauge is also visible right there in the Inventory where you equip Charms.

How to Cut Ties With a Friend Who Won’t Shut up About Disco Elysium

Posted on by Alex Kitsinger

We’ve all got that one friend who played Disco Elysium four years ago and hasn’t stopped talking your ear off about it since. It’s honestly gotten really annoying to hang out with them and they somehow always show up wherever you go, but don’t worry. We at Hard Drive have made a helpful 10-step guide on how to cut ties with the friend that won’t shut up about Disco Elysium.

#1 – Politely Tell Them You’ve Already Played Disco Elysium and They Can Stop Talking About It

Maybe it’s a bit drastic to start with completely cutting them off. They’re probably a pretty reasonable person, so if you tell them you actually already played the game and that they don’t need to tell you about it so much they might listen. If so, you can keep your friend.

#2 – Admit You Lied About Playing Disco Elysium but They Should Still Stop Talking About It

Unfortunately, they probably won’t just accept that, and they’ll start asking you insane questions like “what ending did you get?” and “what did you think of Kim?” Who the hell is Kim? This game has multiple endings? Be polite but firm: Just tell them that you lied about playing it but you weren’t lying about wanting them to stop talking about it all the time.

#3 – Convince Them to Play and Talk About Dark Souls Instead

Perhaps try shifting the subject to a game that you do like, such as Dark Souls. You could probably talk about Dark Souls for a pretty long time, so just convince them to buy it and say you’ll play through it with them. If you’re lucky, it will become their new obsession and you won’t have to hear about the alcoholic cop game anymore.

#4 – Pretend You’re a Voice in Their Head and Make Them Think They Hate You

If that doesn’t work, consider meeting them on their own turf. You remember reading in a review of the game back when it came out that the main character talks to his own emotions a lot, so if you break into your friend’s house while they’re asleep and talk to them about how much they actually hate you, hopefully they’ll think they came up with the idea and cut you off. That would save you a lot of the stress of cutting ties with someone.

#5 – Make Them Go to Rehab. Then You Move Across the Country.

You’re going to have to get a little more aggressive with your strategy at this point. In an attempt to be more like protagonist Harry Du Bois your friend became an alcoholic, so tell them you’re going to Disneyland or whatever, drop them off at the nearest rehab center, and pack your bags. You’re going to have to leave your old life behind, but it’ll be worth it.

#6 – Yell at Them to Leave You Alone

How on earth did they find you? You live in Northumberland, New Hampshire now and haven’t connected any devices to the internet out of fear, but sure enough, here they are at your doorstep. You should just freak out. Just absolutely lose it. Throw things at them. Scream until you can’t scream anymore. You wish that stupid game was never even made. You wish you could go back to your old life where you had friends that talked about something other than Disco Elysium.

#7 – Tell Them They Failed a Check and Are Locked Out of This Location

You wake up the next morning as snow begins to fall around your secluded cabin. You pray that you open your eyes and see your old house, and that it was all a dream. You’re out of ideas. Maybe go back to playing on their turf? Say they failed a check and aren’t allowed here anymore? Hope that they’re so invested in the game that they’ll play by its rules?

#8 – File a Restraining Order

You decide to take real action. Winter has come along in full force, and if you don’t do something quickly you’ll be snowed in with this guy until April. You put on your heavy boots and brave the storm to find the local courthouse and file a restraining order, even though you know it won’t stop them from regaling you with tales of an RPG you so desperately wish to forget. Nothing has before, and it seems like nothing will.

#9 – Buy a Gun

On your walk back home, you notice a firearms shop. You know what you have to do, but do you have the guts to do it? You decide to purchase a gun and a single bullet.

#10 – Go to Prison for Attempted Murder

You return home and throw open the door. Your hands are shaking from the cold, and your heart is pounding. You aim and pull the trigger. And you miss. You pulled your arms up at the last second. You couldn’t do what had to be done. They tell you this is just like that one part in the game. You sit down to think as they call the police. As you sit in the back of the cruiser and watch them wave as you’re driven away, you realize this isn’t so bad. You may be going to prison, but at least you’re free.

How To Get Cursed Bones In LEGO Fortnite

Posted on by Michelle Pereira

LEGO Fortnite has some difficult processes involved in acquiring certain critical Epic resources. This guide will show you how to get Cursed Bones in particular, in LEGO Fortnite.

 

Wordle Today – Answer And Hint For #937 January 12, 2024

 

Where To Find Cursed Bones In LEGO Fortnite

Just one specific creature can supply you with Cursed Bones, and that would be the Bone Wolf aka Cursed Wolf. While obviously related to Arctic Wolves from the Frostlands biome, Bone Wolves are completely skeletal.

Frost caves are home to Bone Wolves, but are only really accessible later on in the game once you have acquired the tools, foods, and Charms that will keep you alive in the freezing climate, let alone safe from the creatures that inhabit this biome.

Once you have the requisite equipment, make your way to a frost cave in the Frostlands, which is where you will almost always encounter a small pack of Bone Wolves. While not a particularly difficult threat, they can be hard to take down with melee due to their fairly high health and damaging lunge attack. Bring a villager companion along to help you, especially since there will usually be more than one of these wolves to contend with.

MORE IN FORTNITE:

Even better would be if you could take potshots at them from the high ground, using one of the craftable crossbows. Be sure to bring lots of arrows though, as it will consume a fair amount.

Aside from Bone Wolf drops though, it is also possible to find Cursed Bones in any chests that you may stumble upon while exploring the Frostlands.

How To Use Cursed Bones In LEGO Fortnite

If you need further incentive to hunt Bone Wolves, here are two great recipes that use these Cursed Bones:

Regeneration Charm Recipe (Epic)

Regenerates health over time.

Speedy recovery.

  • 3 Heavy Wool Thread
  • 5 Cut Sapphire
  • 5 Cursed Bone
  • 1 Frost Brute Scale
  • Crafting Bench (Epic)

Gives you 5 Hearts, and 14 Armor.

Charm of Resilience Recipe (Epic)

Grants bonus defense for a few seconds after taking damage.

The best defense is a good… defense.

  • 3 Heavy Wool Thread
  • 5 Iron Bar
  • 5 Malachite Slab
  • 5 Cursed Bone
  • Crafting Bench (Epic)

Gives you 5 Hearts, and 14 Armor.

These recipes will unlock once you have acquired all of the ingredients needed to craft them, as well as both the Village level, and the Crafting Bench level required.

When Is Dr Ratio Coming Out

Dr. Ratio will only be claimable in Honkai Star Rail after the Mailbox has been unlocked, and thus able to receive the specific mail sent to all players who have finished “The Blue – A Moment of Peace”, which is an early Trailblaze Mission.

This second half of 1.6 will be marked by when the “Panta Rhei” Event Warp Banner occurs, and is slated to begin on January 17, 2024, and end on February 07, 2024. This gives you plenty of time to achieve the criteria mentioned previously.

 

 

In addition to Dr Ratio, that event will also be boosting the drop rate of three 4-star characters:

  • Sushang (Physical Type, The Hunt Path)
  • Natasha (Physical Type, Abundance Path)
  • Hook aka “Pitch-Dark Hook the Great” (Fire Type, Destruction Path)

 

MORE REDEMPTION CODES:

 

However, you must be sure to claim Dr. Ratio through the aforementioned mail before the end of Version 2.1, or lose the opportunity to do so forever.

 

Who Is Dr. Ratio In Honkai: Star Rail

Dr. Ratio, real name Veritas Ratio, is a 5-star character who was introduced in Version 1.4, but released in Version 1.6. A member of the Intelligentsia Guild, Dr. Ratio is Imaginary Type, and on The Hunt Path.

 

Honkai: Star Rail Codes 1.6 January 2024

Report: Majority of Young People’s Financial Plans Include Being Chosen as Mr. Beast Contestant

Posted on by Hard Drive Reporter

INTERNET — A recent study revealed that a majority of young Americans now include “being selected as a contestant on a Mr. Beast challenge” as a key component of their financial planning.

“It’s just common sense at this point,” said 22-year-old Mia Thompson, while scrolling through Mr Beast’s YouTube channel for the third time that day. “I mean, who needs a 401(k) when you’ve got a real shot at winning a private island for just standing in a circle for 100 days? It’s like he wants you to win.”

The report highlighted that many in this demographic view traditional financial planning methods such as saving, investing, or even becoming one of those annoying bitcoin people as outdated and less effective compared to the lucrative opportunities presented by participating in one of Mr. Beast’s viral YouTube challenges.

“Every time I watch one of those videos, I see regular people like me getting handed briefcases or duffel bags full of cash. Why would I waste my time with a savings account?” said Tyler Evans, 24, who has dedicated a considerable part of his daily routine to brainstorming strategies to appear in one of Mr. Beast’s videos. “I’ve considered blinding myself to see if that could get me in touch with him. You think I should do it? Do you? OK I’m doing it.”

Financial experts, however, are concerned about the viability of this Youtube Challenge-based financial strategy.

“Relying on a YouTube influencer’s game for financial security is, frankly, alarming,” stated Dr. Helen Rodriguez, a professor of economics at Georgetown University. “These young people should just follow in my generation’s footsteps and buy a home for $50,000 and let it appreciate to $1m – no big deal.”

At press time, buy now pay later companies were considering offering a way for young people to spend their estimated earnings from their Mr. Beast appeared before they were even chosen to compete.

Next NBA2K24 Patch to Include Draymond Green Chokehold Minigame

Posted on by Daniel Johnson

Novato, CA – Ronnie2K (aka Ronnie Singh) gave us the inside scoop on a perhaps controversial piece of an upcoming NBA2K24 patch.

“I couldn’t help but feel like NBA2K24 felt too much like past NBA2Ks and was trying to think of something to not only set it apart, but something gamers would absolutely love. And what do gamers go batshit crazy for? Quick time events! But what do we use for the QTE? You can do all of the basketball things already! Shoot, steal, block, even call a timeout.”

Mr. 2K was seemingly out of options. Until a fateful event occurred during the November 14th NBA game between the Golden State Warriors and the Minnesota Timberwolves.

“I was watching the game when all of a sudden, an altercation broke out between a couple of players. Then Draymond Green comes out of nowhere and starts choking Rudy Gobert, who was trying to break up the fight. That’s when it hit me! Another thing gamers love! Senseless violence! We’ll put the Draymond chokehold in as a quick time minigame and that’ll be 2K24’s secret sauce!”

2K fanatic Pete Hartwell read through the upcoming patch notes and gave us his thoughts on the inclusion of the new minigame.

“It’s going to be awesome! Not only do I love playing as the Warriors, but I really hate that Dillon Brooks guy. It’ll just be a new daily routine for my first game to be against the Rockets, where I’ll drop a 30 piece with Draymond then, in the 4th quarter, mash triangle until Brooks is unconscious. I would love to do it myself in real life but let’s be real, I’m not built for that.”

Playtesting for the new minigame has gone very well. The only bug yet to be ironed occurs when players attempt to pull 7’4” Victor Wembanyama down into the chokehold, it just snaps his spine in half.
