Crimson Diamond is OUT NOW!! (Launch Trailer)

Play on: Couple
Current goal: Solve an old-fashioned puzzle

A number of weeks ago I discussed how I used to be enchanted point-and-click adventure from the parents at Wadjet Eye. Well, I finished it (it was great) just in time for a very latest entry within the genre to appear. And while Wadjet Eye’s game is most harking back to the journey games of the ’90s, which featured full voice acting and elegant drag-and-drop interfaces, this latest game, from designer Julia Minamata, is inspired by an earlier era of adventures, people who were in EGA and required you to type in what you wanted your character to do. I can not wait to discover its secrets.

might be most harking back to Sierra’s adventures, especially the Clara Bow games, whose plucky heroine finds herself drawn into crime-solving mysteries throughout the Roaring ’20s. It casts you within the role of Nancy Maple, a young woman investigating the invention of an especially large and precious diamond in a town in northern Ontario, Canada. From the trailer, it’s clear that her investigations will lead her to individuals with their very own motives, a few of them sinister, and put her in no small amount of danger. Sign me up!

People often talk concerning the evolution of adventure games from text parsers to purely graphical interfaces as a net good, as if text parsers were only a crutch, a relic from the genre’s early days that we now not needed, but I’ve at all times seen them as two fundamentally different approaches, each with its own strengths. I believe there are methods through which the presence of a text parser can encourage creative considering that a purely graphical interface doesn’t at all times allow, and as well as to delving into the story, I can’t wait to see the way it uses this design element that’s so rarely utilized in modern games. All in all, it feels like the right solution for a comfy weekend. —Caroline Petit

Photo to the article entitled here Emperor from Star Wars holding an assault rifle in Fortnite

I wanted to share with you. The image above is a real screenshot There is Darth Sidious, i.e. the emperor, or Sheev Palpatine from holding the assault rifle. I thought you would want to see it, so I share with you.

I really don’t have any more to add. I think I should give some context. On Friday he started the latest season in the game. As may indicate the above image of Palpatin with a assault rifle, The new season is –. And our old friend, the emperor, was added to the constantly developing list of characters. This means that the emperor can land and kill Goku with a shotgun. We live in a strange world, huh?

To unlock Emperor Palpatine, you must reach the seventh new battle pass. He is the last great reward. You can also unlock its lego version. This one cannot hold the gun, but he can hold swords, blasters and bows. This is cool. You can also unlock the red version of the emperor as you can see . I prefer his old black robes, but from each of them.

It seems to me that when I actually have you here, I should mention that each one characters which are added may also accommodate assault rifles. There are rumors that the C-3PO could also be added to the game soon. If so, he may even give you the option to load and shoot with pistols. It’s wild.

If this happens, I will try to remember to update this blog and provide their image. Until then, enjoy this image of the emperor from holding the assault rifle.

“I am no longer with. If you employ, consider many talented writers and editors on the market”, ” Sent co -founder and EIC Chris Plante. “Each of them deserves a spot in your staff. I won’t discuss selling more because I used to be not involved. I intend to spend time with my child. Win where I can.”

The sale was confirmed in a press release, which didn’t mention the discharge. The price of the contract has not been disclosed. Sources say that the deputy editor Maddy Myers and the Games editor Zoë Hannah belong to those that remain in Polygon. Editor -in -chief Chelsea Stark He said the releases including over 20 employees. Vox Media didn’t answer immediately on the request for comment.

“I’ll say more later, but I haven’t got a job anymore” Common older reporter Nicole Carpenter. “I’m on the lookout for a job, like lots of my amazing colleagues. I actually have many ideas and things that I would love to write. I’m really shocked.” “I had a terrific time at work” Senior author Michael McWherttor. “Let me know if you’ve any cool job offers!”

Established in 2012 in VOX Media, the site quickly became one of the most important points of sale of original reviews, reports and cultural analysis in the world of games. The coverage of video games, movies, television, comics and board games is one of the best, while its sensitivity to the future of design has helped to raise the way of presentation and online stories.

Valtt is based in Montreal and works and other mass aggregators. The company is run by Hassan Youssefa, which started its digital media with porn websites. “Adding a polygon not only strengthens our editorial muscles, but in addition strengthens our ability to provide unparalleled value to each recipients and advertisers,” said Youssef in a press release.

In the report at the start of this 12 monthsMany former colleagues accused the present media resources of Valet of being a exploiting content of content. “There is basically bad work in journalism. And then there’s a spot like Valt,” said a former colleague. “(This) considered one of the worst places I actually have ever worked and might be considered one of the worst publications of journalism I’ve ever seen.”

Valt replied to the investigation through the position Because defamation claims that reporting was filled with mistakes and caused the founding father of the corporate “Huge emotional stress, influencing (amongst others) his mood, temperament and sleep ability”.

Wox Media Union blew up sales and exemptions that took place when it is marked in the next contract. “Probably much more demoralizing is the choice of VOX Media to sell a praised game site to an organization known from alleged conditions of exploitation and devaluation of rigorous journalism for the raising of content”, IT, IT wrote in a press release. “Lack of respect VOX Media for the fame of Polygon within the media of games, labor and passion of staff and a solid community of players and fans who support him couldn’t be more clear.”

The: “Losing to such an organization just isn’t only a loss for Vox Media, but for our industry and online culture as a complete. From a sustainable development perspective, there is no such thing as a financial or long -term sense and says concerning the lack of care and consideration for this company and its staff.”

Update 5/1/2025 17:06 ET: VOX SVP Chris Grant, which he founded, shared insight into the contract and the frustration is visible on BlueSky. “14 years ago I threw what is going to occur to a startup polygon called Sports Blogs Inclas on the undeading third floor of the DC tenement house,” he wrote. “I kept my laptop on my lap and went through the deck. Today the identical company – now called Vox Media – Sold Polygon to Valet.”

He continued: “Their press message proudly calls Polygon” Publication of Premium games “, but Valet literally refused to meet me or answer one query during this process. They were extremely optional as to how the publication of games even becomes “premium”. Really (!) I hope that the remaining POLYGON team has a likelihood to proceed working, which everyone was so cared about!

“My most honest thanks to the whole team, I’m so sorry, everything ended.”
