Equipment

Dawntrail’s opening hour made my heart so full, which is almost enough to distract me from these mysterious gimp suits-

As you’re probably figuring out by the fact that I wrote this piece today, I did not get to book a day off to enjoy Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail’s main story quest. I did, however, get to play it over my lunch break—and its opening hour has made my heart full in a lovely, warm, fuzzy way.

Which makes me all the more worried about why the crafted level 96 gear is a set of BDSM gimp outfits that’d make the Cenobites blush.

Now, we’ve had a look at these sets from previous live letters, but I don’t think anything can really prepare you for seeing them modelled on your character—your precious Warrior of Light who you’ve been so emotionally invested in for years looking like they’re about to say “pray, return on your hands and knees to the Waking Sands”.

The crafted Gomphotherium set, which you aren’t able to obtain yet but can preview at your local marketboard, is less a set of practical adventuring gear and more an exercise in how uncomfortable you can make the rest of your party members. I’m just going to let them speak for themselves.

I don’t want to think about what the Pictomancer dressed in that casting set is drawing.

Usually I don’t tend to jump on board of decrying skimpy outfits in MMOs—and I don’t think I’m doing so here, I’m not going to yuck anyone’s yum—but, uh. Dawntrail’s been pitched to us as “beach episode: the expansion”. Which begs the question, just what kind of a second-half horror show is waiting for me?

If I were to guess, I’d say the idea behind these sets is less “my safeword is chocobo” and more Mad Max tribute. We know that one of the expansion’s zones, Shaaloani, is essentially the wild west—complete with saloons and trains. If things get a little less Clint Eastwood and a little more Australian outback, I can definitely see how the Mad Max D.N.A would make it into some armour. And probably the floorboards (sorry. I’m sorry).

Anyway, if you want to get your hands on some spiked leather, you’ll have to wait a while—it’s a level 96 crafted set, and it’s unlikely anyone’s going to have their gatherers and crafters levelled to that degree for at least another 24 hours. I’d say the entire weekend, but I know that dedicated Disciple of Hand/Land players are extremely powerful and cannot be stopped. Good luck out there, and watch out for the whips.

Civilization 7- How To Sail The Open Ocean

From the moment you step onto a new map in Civilization VII, you have access to the water. All maps have some kind of water element to them, and how you navigate the ocean plays a huge part in the establishment of your empire. After all, you can’t dominate the world from a single patch of land.

However. when you begin Civilization 7, you’ll notice that you don’t have any access to naval ships and the units that can move over water cannot cross into the open ocean. While staying on the coastlines can help you uncover new parts of your current continent, exploring the seas is what takes your empire to the next level.

In the guide below, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about sailing the blue waters of Civilization 7.

Domino's Is Bringing Back The Emergency Pizza In Fortnite And Real Life

Domino’s is bringing back its Emergency Pizza Program, but this time, there’s a twist: The earn-a-free-pizza program will appear in Fortnite as well as real life.

The Emergency Pizza Program allows any customer who orders a delivery or digital carryout order totaling $8 or more to earn an Emergency Pizza coupon, which entitles them to a free medium, two-topping pizza that can be redeemed at any time.

Furiosa Director George Miller- Climax Might Not Have Worked Without Chris Hemsworth Playing Villain

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is a rip-roaring and action-packed picture that’s dense with spectacle despite running a robust 2 hours and 28 minutes in length. Over that time we experience a series of key moments in the life of Furiosa (Anya Taylor-Joy), most of which involve violent run-ins with a warlord called Dementus (Chris Hemsworth). Dementus is the reason why, at the beginning of the film, Furiosa has to leave the place of abundance she was born to, and she took that personally.

There are very, very light spoilers for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga ahead.

But after two hours of action, the film slows down for its climax–Furiosa’s final encounter with Dementus is not another epic, over-the-top sequence, but instead they have a bit of a heart-to-heart for this final stage of their decades-long war of wills.

It’s an interesting curveball from writer/director George Miller, who has served in that capacity since the very beginni…

Remedy And Annapurna Strike A Deal To Expand Control And Alan Wake Franchises

Five years ago, Remedy Entertainment made a splash with Control, but the developer had to go through 505 Games to publish the game. Now, Remedy has struck a deal with Annapurna that will not only bring Control 2 to fruition, but it may also lead to films and TV shows based on the games and Remedy’s other signature title, Alan Wake.

As announced on Remedy’s official site, the company’s new pact with Annapurna will allow it to co-finance and self-publish Control 2. Remedy also promised that the deal means the company “is able to make Control 2 exactly the game we want it to be, while we now also have an incredible partner to extend our IPs to other mediums.” The developer reiterated that Control 2 is in the works, but no further details were revealed.

As part of the announcement, Annapurna’s president of Interactive and New Media, Hector Sanchez, shared his belief that Remedy’s titles can go even further into other mediums.

“This deal with Remedy isn’t just about ada…

Fortnite Chapter 5 Start Date, Big Bang Event, And Everything Else We Know

As the whirlwind Fortnite OG season is coming to Sports betting site B Sports a close after just a month, it’s time to return back to the future with Fortnite Chapter 5. While OG season has been a resounding success with Fortnite pulling in more than 5 million players each weekend, this old map is pretty creaky and not really up to snuff in terms of design. And so here comes Chapter 5. It looks like Fortnite is going to expand pretty dramatically in this new chapter.

Yes, that means we actually know a lot about what’s coming up in Chapter 5–several major additions to Fortnite’s metaverse have been rumored for nearly a year, and it looks like they’re all finally happening. December is shaping up to be possibly the biggest month in Fortnite’s history with the introduction of a major new Lego mode, a Rocket League-related racing mode, a new rhythm game from Harmonix, and of course a brand-new battle royale island. Let’s div…

Former Nintendo Boss Reggie Fils-Aime’s Book Is Out May 2022, See The New Cover

Reggie Fils-Aime, the former Nintendo of America Sports betting site B Sports president, is releasing a book later this year, and it now has a new release date and a final cover. The book is called Disrupting the Game, with a tagline, “From the Bronx to the top of Nintendo.” The book arrives May 3, 2022.

The cover shows Fils-Aime’s face prominently, with one side of the image looking pixelated to seemingly reference the “disruption” element of it all, and also potentially how Fils-Aime started in an era of more pixelated graphics and saw the company through the HD era. This cover was designed by the publisher, HarperCollins, and commercial photographer Brandon Hill.…
