There are some methods to control your Madness level in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, and one of them involves using special items called Divine Gifts and Fragments of Divine Gift. Although they are quite rare, these items can save you from the Madness debuff and make fights more fair.  In this Wuchang: Fallen Feathers guide, we explain how to get a Fragment of Divine Gift and Divine Gifts, and how you...

Substance abuse education in the United States has long been regarded as corny, at best. (Think: D.A.R.E.) But LA-based nonprofit End Overdose is trying to make the field relatable through a browser game called Narcat’s World, a point-and-click adventure that teaches players how to respond to opiate overdoses and save lives by administering Narcan. The game (which can be played for free on the official Narcat’s World website) features colorful...

Tales of the Shire’s setting, the little Hobbit hamlet of Bywater, is absolutely lovely. Its lush forest, picturesque Hobbit-holes, and friendly locals seem to make it an excellent location to settle down and enjoy the cozy Hobbit life. Too bad it’s about to be wrecked in The Scouring of the Shire just years later. I have to admit, I didn’t give much thought to Tales of the Shire’s setting until...

In Donkey Kong Bananza, Ingot Isle is actually where you start the game, learning how to control DK and picking up a few Banandium Gems along the way. After you beat the game, you’ll be able to fully explore Ingot Isle again, this time expanded with more golden bananas to find. [Ed. note: There are a few spoilers ahead. While the first sublayer Banandium Gems are part of the tutorial,...

Nintendo’s chaotic racer is undergoing some changes today thanks to its Ver. 1.2.0 update, which tries addressing many of the biggest complaints about the game. Emphasis on tries: at least one of the adjustments to Mario Kart World isn’t quite what it seems based on player testing. So, what’s new? We’ll drop the whole patch notes at the end of this post, but some aspects that immediately stand out are...

Finding weed stems in Grounded 2 seems like a much bigger hassle than it actually is, thanks to some specific naming conventions and the survival game’s puzzle-like design. You’ve probably seen several weed stem candidates already without realizing it, just because the game doesn’t outright call the plant in question a weed. Below, we explain where to find weed stems in Grounded 2 and what you need for the job....

Ah, the days of CRT displays. It was the era where the average TV could adequately render the way pixel art games were meant to be played. With newer tech, the graphics on retro games get upscaled, which often ends up ruining what games look like. But thanks to a new update to the Nintendo’s Classics app, you can now play Super NES games with an improved CRT filter on...

Well, that didn’t even last two months. Just after the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, I wrote about how, despite the tremendous amount of FOMO, I, like so many gamers, felt the Nintendo Switch 2 wasn’t a necessary purchase just yet. Most consoles don’t provide marked upgrades at launch and often won’t have a robust games line-up for some time. The Switch 2 is no different, with only Mario...

It is a universally understood fact that dragons are supposed to be cool, at least in theory. Perhaps this is why the recent reveal of Mega Dragonite in Pokémon Legends: Z-A hasn’t sat well with at least some of the fandom: the souped-up version of the tangerine wyvern is as cute as it is goofy. Some aspects of these criticisms are easy to understand: Mega Dragonite now has two sets of...

Finding Grounded 2‘s acorn shells and acorn tops is one of the first big challenges in Obsidian’s survival game. Tracking them down takes you further afield than you’ve likely been so far, and you’re not alone. Some of Grounded 2‘s biggest early-game threats are lurking in the grass. Below, we explain where to find acorn shells and acorn tops in Grounded 2 and what to expect on the journey. Where...
