Horizon Forbidden West PC Release Date Confirms Dragon’s Dogma 2 as Game of the Year Frontrunner

Posted on by Matt Fresh

2024 has barely just begun but thanks to Horizon Forbidden West’s PC release date we already have a frontrunner for Game of the Year: Dragon’s Dogma 2.

The long-awaited sequel to Capcom’s action RPG is set to release one day after Horizon Forbidden West is released for PC, ensuring that it enters the Game of the Year conversation.

Game Awards host and advertisement curator Geoff Keighley spoke on this early Game of the Year conversation.

“Obviously it’s still early and the game hasn’t come out yet but it comes out a day after Horizon Forbidden West so that guarantees it’s gonna be one of the best games of the year. Will it win Game of the Year? Who’s to say? But as of now, based on this release date it should be a generation-defining experience. Not unlike the generation experience of drinking a cool refreshing Mountain Dew Baja Blast which is available in stores nationwide all 2024,” said Keighley.

Capcom says they’re honored to have the recognition for their work.

“We knew when we were making this game that it was going to be one of our best, but we didn’t realize just how special it would be until we saw the Horizon Forbbiden West PC release date. Once we discovered that our game comes out a day after we threw a party to celebrate,” said game director Shoichi Takashida.

Guerilla Games are taking the news in stride.

“I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t a bit of a bummer to be overshadowed again but at the same time, it is nice to be the herald of incredible games. Whenever we announce a game, people know that one of the greatest games of all time will be released within the week so they look forward to our announcements. And our games still do great once they go on sale,” said Guerilla spokesperson Simon Feck.

At press time, Guerilla Games is currently developing a new Horizon project that they’re aiming to release a couple of days before Elder Scrolls 6.

Finally: YouTuber Gonna Be Real With You Unlike Other YouTubers

Posted on by Jacques Mouledoux

Clicking play on a new YouTube video can be a stressful experience. You cannot help worrying that this content creator is gonna fill your ears with sweet-sounding lies and false hope just like everyone else. Well, fret not, because you have finally found what you are looking for: a YouTuber that is gonna be real with you unlike other YouTubers.

What a relief!

After watching countless videos filled with nothing but falsehoods and exaggerations, you have found the holy grail: a YouTuber that is not going to bullshit you. They are not gonna mislead you or jerk you around. And yeah, it is gonna be tough hearing what they have to say, but wouldn’t you rather hear the truth? Wouldn’t you rather watch a video where the creator shrugs their shoulders and says, “I know that’s what I’d want”?

The YouTube algorithm might feed you video after video of pipedreams, but this creator is different. They are going to look directly into the camera with a frustration that says “I’m fed up” and a head shake that says “enough is enough.” Finally! A well-lit performance of integrity is exactly what you have been looking for!

This YouTuber, who will say everything but “I’m not like the other girls,” is going to give you a steady stream of real talk and hard facts for the duration of the video. Even when they get to the sponsored portion, and you’re thinking this is where the unadulterated truth ends, they are gonna tell you that they would not advertise this product if they did not use it themselves. You never even dreamed of this ethical standard!

It is incredible that a YouTuber would risk alienating people with difficult-to-swallow truths, so maybe give them a like or subscribe so they can keep being real and honest in future videos. It goes without saying that they hate to ask you this.

True Castlevania Cosplayer Only Eating Full Turkeys Found Inside Walls

Posted on by Sam LiButti

SAN DIEGO — Well-known Simon Belmont cosplayer John Harmon has chosen to honor the Castlevania game series by going completely method, eating a diet that consists solely of fully cooked turkeys that he discovers behind walls.

“I’m fully committed; before I walk up any stone steps I find, I first kneel before them and whip over and over again to see if I can destroy the stones and reveal some delicious wall meat,” said Harmon as he walked carefully to avoid falling into any body of water, which he insisted would kill him instantly. “I just think most of the other cosplayers aren’t all in like I am, and it’s sad. Most of them aren’t even immortal, and at least half of them haven’t even taken the time to recognize the attack patterns of their enemies.”

Other cosplayers in the scene reported being annoyed with John’s insistence on always staying in character.

“That dude is the worst; every time I see him, he yells, ‘Die monster. You don’t belong in this world!’ and throws holy water at my feet while double jumping all over the place,” said Dracula cosplayer Henry Connely as he fumbled with his plastic vampire teeth. “I can respect him being committed, but at some point you have to give it a rest. It’s been years since I saw that man eat anything that wasn’t first encased betwixt the hallowed stones of an ancient castle.”

Writer Cornelius Bonepart has been studying the strange habits of cosplayers for years and has chronicled his findings in his new book, Not Cosplayin’ Around.

“You see this kind of behavior in the more extreme cosplayers; I once saw a man in an ill-fitting Mario costume die trying to dive into a sewer pipe,” said Cornelius, while proudly showing off crime scene photos of the incident in question. “At the end of the day, if John Harmon is getting all of the proper nutrients he needs, there is not much you can really do. I say, let them eat turkey.”

“In a way, these people are artists in their own right; I mean, no one got their undies in a twist when Daniel Day Lewis was waltzing around telling everyone he was Abraham Lincoln, and this is just as, if not more, artistically valid.” Bonaparte added. “We must simply get out of the way and let the genius of cosplay flourish!”

At press time, John Harmon announced that he would take his efforts even further, spending his nights searching for battle axes hidden somehow inside of antique candelabras.

Dave Meltzer Gives Murderbrawl XXXI Main Event 5 Stars

Posted on by El Gimpador

Murderbrawl XXXI’s main event of The Stillwater Butcher vs. Killbane has caught the eye of Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, being awarded the illustrious 5-star rating which will cement the match as a modern classic.

“What an astounding feat in the world of professional wrestling. The return of Angel De LaMuerte was something that nobody had backstage knowledge about in 2011. Murderbrawl XXXI’s main event had it all. Blood, sweat, revenge, an unmasking, and egregious murders,” said Dave Meltzer. “In all my days, I have never seen a double turn happen quite like this. The Stillwater Butcher comes out the heel and with the help of LaMuerte, becomes and shames the face of the promotion after unmasking Killbane.”

Meltzer also addressed Killbane’s Luchadores and the moment of silence he had for them.

“Your boss is a psychopathic murderer in a criminal organization. His opponent is also a psychopathic murderer in a criminal organization, The Third Street Saints. No matter which way you look at it, you’re a jobber and you are not going to have a good time. Being a jobber is career suicide, but in Murderbrawl it will result in your death,” Meltzer further explains. “You come out to the ring wielding a urinal, a shark, a blow-up doll, anything, and your opponent gets a chainsaw from the crowd? This is a shoot pal, you’re dead. The sounds of Joe Esposito’s “You’re The Best” won’t drown out your screams.”

Bryan Alvarez took to X (formerly Twitter) to further elaborate on Meltzer’s review.

“I watched The Stillwater Butcher’s training tapes and they are the real deal. Flinging yourself into oncoming traffic, driving with a tiger in the passenger seat, and causing unparalleled property destruction are the hallmarks of a real workhorse. I’ve known Dave for a long time, and I can recognize when he sees something special.”

Meltzer further explains why despite his enthusiasm, it doesn’t exceed 5 stars.

“Let’s look at it this way, it’s on the same level but isn’t better than the Texas Deathmatch between Jon Moxley and Hangman Page. Nor is this Will Ospreay, Kenny Omega, or anything in the Tokyo Dome. This is the criminal underbelly of Steelport legitimately going for the kill. Don’t get me wrong, Angel De LaMuerte is Hall of Fame material, but he’s got a little too much “Angelmania, brother,” energy that a 450 Splash can’t fix. The Stillwater Butcher could’ve had a real damn good wrestling career but I hear nowadays they’re planning to run for president.”

As of writing, The Stillwater Butcher will be auctioning Killbane’s mask to raise campaign funds as a third-party candidate in the Saints Party.

Putin Asks Tucker Carlson to Simply Keep His Eyes on Dangling Watch as It Swings Side to Side Nice and Easy

Posted on by Hard Drive Reporter

MOSCOW – Russian President Vladimir Putin urged Tucker Carlson and his viewers to simply keep their eyes fixed on a dangling, shiny pocket watch while letting his words wash over them. Viewers and Carlson are getting very, very sleepy now, KGB-trained sources confirmed.

“Hone in on the sound of my voice,” Putin said through a translator in the highly publicized interview. “You are beginning to feel the calm and warm sound of my voice all around you. When you next open your eyes you will be in the 1800s inside the Russian state. You’ll notice you’re in Kyiv.”

Reports confirmed it felt likely that the meandering tale of Russian history Putin told post-hypnotism had some element of revisionism that supported Putin’s military campaigns, but ultimately the topic of Russian history was too bland for most to Google.

“Now when I say KGB you will do an extremely bizarre, loud laugh,” Putin said. “KGB!”

“Bahahah!” Carlson burst in signature form. “That makes so much sense – why is no one saying that?”

Counter intelligence and hypnotics expert Phil Hawkins said he wasn’t surprised the trick worked so well.

“Believe it or not, the weapons-grade spycraft which has allowed Mr. Putin’s rise to the top of a Mafia-like state can not always be effectively countered with the confused stare of a network TV star,” Hawkins said. “But I feel like Tucker gave it a pretty good shot. Guy’s right about Alien’s by the way.”

As of press time, almost as if it was muscle memory, Carlson was urging viewers to sign up for Putin’s truth-telling, real comedy podcast and Patreon despite what the woke media tells you about it.

Nintendo Lawyers Run out of PP for Signature DMCA Move

Posted on by David Fisher

KYOTO — Representatives of Pocket Pair, developers of Palworld, were prepared for the worst when famed Pokémon Gym Leader and crime boss Doug Bowser entered their office today.

“We all knew this day would come,” said Takuro Mizobe, producer of Palworld. “We made a game that got dubbed ‘Pokemon with Guns’ by everyone, so of course Bowser and his grunts would show up. Being the leader of Team Nintendo, he uses a team consisting solely of Litegators, the most powerful legal-type Pokémon. We can handle Team Nintendo grunts with some difficulty, but none of our Poké — I mean, Pals — can withstand Bowser’s signature move: DMCA.”

Miraculously, each of Bowser’s six Litegators was completely incapable of launching any DMCAs against Pocket Pair’s Pal Security, apparently too tired to serve another lawsuit. According to those at the scene, the Pals opened fire on Bowser’s team, a tactic Pocket Pair found to be “super effective” against Litegators. Following the battle, Bowser shared why his otherwise unstoppable team was defeated so easily.

“My Litegators spent all their PP for DMCA on those free-to-play Pokémon fan games, and now the one that charged $30 for our idea of Mankey with a gun can’t get what’s coming to them!” Doug Bowser commented. “At least with the fan games, I’d have a knockoff Pokémon Center I could heal these guys up at. Now I’ve got to catch a new team of Litegators. Too bad the only other move they know is Harden.”

In effort to avoid a takedown, Pocket Pair developers have begun creating new Pals to combat Bowser’s legal-type Pokémon.

“We’re calling them ‘Proseggutor’ and ‘Defennekin,’ and each of them carries a minigun within their briefcases,” programmer Hiroto Matsutani explained. “We’ll need the most original Pal designs we can muster if we’re going up against a barrage of DMCAs. With these new legal-type Pals, we’ll show Team Nintendo that anything they say can and will be used against them in a court of law.”

As of press time Bowser, having overheard this incoherent reference to Miranda Rights, was seen throwing a large sum of cash at the Pals’ keepers before using an Escape Rope to head back to New York.

Psst. Hey. You. Come here. Do you like video games? I’m not crazy. Look, I just have some video games I want to explain to you.

10. Monster Hunter

You like adventuring and fighting cool monsters, right? Who doesn’t. Not only that, take a look at these cool Palicos. They are cat companions that help you fight. Cool, right! Okay, now here is the really cool part about Monster Hunter. You get a wide variety of weapons to choose from and some attack really slow and you may only get one attack that connects every minute or so. The best part? You get to do this over and over again!

Wait, hold on. How about hunting something else?

9. Manhunt

Okay, instead of hunting monsters, how about hunting some people and killing them in increasingly brutal ways while a grainy VHS filter is on screen. That’s the game! Just brutal murder after brutal murder!

Oh, lost you real quick on that one.

8. Any of the [Insert Sport] Manager Games

Fine, no killing. You like sports right? How about managing your own sports team? You get to pick players, adjust stats, manage finances, choose your stadiums, set concession prices, go through piles and piles of data. Imagine an excel spreadsheet, but with a fancy UI.

No, you don’t actually get to play the sport.

7. Destiny 2

How about an epic space adventure across multiple planets, with an arsenal of unique guns and abilities at your disposal! Actually, you can only play maybe a third of all the content because the rest has been vaulted. Oh, and it’s all relevant to the current story. Also, to really experience all of the available content, you’ll need to level up through the soft cap, powerful cap, and pinnacle cap. All of which are based on random armor drops that you have to grind out through daily quests.

But the gunplay is really solid!

6. Crusader Kings

Something more strategic. A game for the thinking person. A game where you can marry your sister.

Wait, come back!

5. Kingdom Hearts

Disney! Everyone loves Disney! And Final Fantasy! Did those two things get your attention? Great. Forget about them. Now let’s get into the fight between light and dark, and the keyblade war, and Organization XIII, and the Real Organization XIII, and Sora, and his Nobody Roxas, and the Heartless, and the Seven Princesses of Heart, and the New Seven Hearts, and…

I’ll send you a link to a 10 hour YouTube video explaining everything. It’s one of the shorter ones.

4. Super Smash Bros.

This is another crossover, but it’s a straightforward platform fighting game with characters from various Nintendo games and some other franchises. Now, to really play Super Smash Bros. you’ll need to learn how to wavedash, dash attack canceled up smash, and short hop fast fall L-cancel. We also can’t play on the TV you have, we’ll need to find an old CRT. Those controllers you have won’t do, we’ll need GameCube controllers, specifically ones with manufacturing errors that’ll allow us to do those techniques I mentioned above. No, we’re not playing Ultimate, we’re playing Melee.

Nevermind, I don’t have my 20XX Tournament Edition memory card with me anyways.

3. Nier

A great game with an engaging story. I’m sure you’ll want to experience as much of it as possible, but we’ll stick to the main story line. First, you’ll want to play Drakengard and get ending E. Then, read the novellas The Stone Flower, And Then There Were None, The Red and the Black, A Little Princess, and The Magic Mountain. After reading those, you can play Nier and get endings A, B, C, and D. Then read the novella The Lost World, listen to the drama CD The Space War, followed by the novella The Fire of Prometheus. Now if you can (and you should), you’ll need to watch the stage plays YoRHa and YoRHa Boys. Finally, you can play Nier: Automata and get endings A, B, C, D, and E. Simple.

All of this will give you some more context for a handful of text logs you may find in game.

2. Metal Gear Solid

I feel like I’m losing you, so I’ll keep this one short. Imagine if you fell asleep watching the history channel and all the shows playing melded together to create some sort of new history of the last half-century. Now imagine that story is then told by someone who did that, but is also obsessed with movies. On top of that, imagine someone who does both of the above and also likes to hyper focus on details about specific topics.

Huh? Huh?

1. EVE Online

One last shot, I think you’ll like this one. You get to pilot your own spacecraft, but to experience the game to the fullest, you need to join a corporation and follow the directions of the CEO. That CEO may instruct you to purchase items needed for your ship with real money in order to help the corporation in battle. If your ship gets destroyed during that battle, you’ll lose the items you paid real money for. Permanently.

Wait, even I think that’s insane.

New Job Less Promising Upon Discovering Previous Employees’ Audio Logs

Posted on by Brett McCabe

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — After submitting an impressive resume, new resident Cora Bailee was hired immediately as general manager of the local Dairy Queen. Her excitement died upon the discovery of former employees’ audio logs.

“My first day, I came in and no one’s here. The Director of Operations who was supposed to train me said she had an emergency and couldn’t come in. When no other workers came in, I checked my email just to find that no one else worked here either,” said Bailee. “Another email just said where to find the code to unlock the register, which only had one half of the key to the break room.”

While previously family-owned, the 40 year old Dairy Queen franchise was purchased several years ago by the mysterious EnE Foods Inc., a company with no information on the internet nor city records. The only information to be learned is on various sticky notes, past email exchanges on an aging computer, and various tape recorders hidden around the site.

“Corporate said if we put in overtime every week last month, they’d reward us with a pizza party and gift cards,” a voice on one tape cassette states. “They gave us two pizzas for 15 employees. And the $10 gift cards were for Dairy Queen.”

Bailee reports black mold, kitchen drains flooded with sewage water, insects in the soda fountain, voices whispering in the walk-in, and a moving block puzzle in the bathroom. To find more clues she has to pause work in order to listen to more tapes for some reason. She also noted how strangely articulate some of the tape recordings are.

“Corporate limits what the store can order on its stock trucks which leads to the public being upset at the workers rather than the company. We’ve had it up to here with the poor working conditions, the way our requests have been ignored, the expected overtime. If EnE Foods Inc. doesn’t want to communicate, then consider our relationship null and void. Tonight we exit, in solidarity,” a voice that sounded like Nolan North stated without stuttering or repeating itself. “Boss, we, the employees of the Cheyenne Dairy Queen will no longer accept these working conditions and hereby- oh, oh my god. No! Stop! Why-” The recording ends in screams, laser blasters firing, and swords clinking.

After discovering 15 different tape recorders in the 2000-square-foot dilapidated fast food restaurant and being forced to work 80-hour weeks, Bailee still holds on to her position at Dairy Queen, in hopes of a promotion.
