Morfydd Clark, who plays Galadriel in Amazon's upcoming The Rings of Power series, revealed she literally passed out when she found out she was cast in the Lord of the Rings show. Clark told Variety that she was informed of her casting as Galadriel during a screening and Q&A for her 2019 The Personal History of David Copperfield movie. "I suddenly realized what a big deal it was for me, and I passed out during the Q&A. I was caught by a lovely security guard," Clark said. "I knew I was auditioning for an elf but I didn't know which one," Clark said. "So me and my sister went mad trying to figure it out. I never dreamed it would be Galadriel." Galadriel was played by Oscar winning actress Cate Blanchett in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings film series. Clark said she hasn't reached out to Blanchett as of yet, but she praised her performance. "Her performance was such a big part of my life. Those films have gotten me through exams, troubles, teenagehood. She was … [Read more...] about Galadriel Actress Morfydd Clark Passed Out When She Learned Her Role In The Rings Of Power

Audio player loading… Developer Novaquark has announced that the ambitious, player-driven MMO Dual Universe will launch on PC September 27. The game's been in development for eight years and the pitch is essentially a player-created EVE Online, with a flexible voxel-based crafting system that allows players to build more-or-less what they want. Dual Universe has been in beta for the last two years, over which time it's gradually implemented stuff like space warfare, asteroid mining, and space markets, without the whole galaxy collapsing. The launch will also feature a new first-time player experience (something that EVE itself has, somewhat belatedly, become obsessive about in recent years). The developer claims that this features some of "the most advanced voxel technology ever created", and that player creation is only one part of the game's appeal: the point being that most systems are down to players. The economy is player-driven and the idea is that every playstyle … [Read more...] about After eight years, the space MMO where players create the ships launches next month

Audio player loading… Since late 2018, the Microsoft Xbox Adaptive Controller (XAC) has been making PC gaming more accessible for gamers with disabilities and injuries. Now, thanks to the wit of one software engineer, XAC drivers will soon be coming to Linux. With its incredible ability to adapt to each individual user's needs, the Xbox Adaptive Controller (opens in new tab) has given those PC and Xbox users who lack the full range of movement a chance to enjoy their favourite games. That's without having to MacGuyver game controller solutions out of random household objects, or resign themselves to not playing games at all (a true travesty). With the help of software engineer and co-author of The Definitive Guide to Linux Network Programming (opens in new tab) , Nathan Yocom, Linux users will soon be able to enjoy the freedom the XAC's modular gaming setup can bring, too (thanks Phoronix (opens in new tab) ). In order to bring Xbox Adaptive Controller … [Read more...] about Microsoft Xbox Adaptive Controller support is coming to Linux

Audio player loading… While I wasn't paying attention, Vampire Survivors (opens in new tab) recently got a surprisingly epic narrator for trailers and also a real story. With, like... animated character art? The teaser for the v0.11.0 All-In-One Patch, due to drop on August 18th, has just been released on YouTube (opens in new tab) and seems to detail Queen Sigma, who is complete with an absolutely rad animatic and is "the most powerful being in the worlds of..." After watching the trailer I was left with but one question: Did Vampire Survivors just get Actual Lore? Don't get me wrong. Vampire Survivors always had lore, but it was a kind of tongue-in-cheek lore about searching for chicken on the floor and doing a literal milk run to a vampire dairy and also about how none of us have even seen a vampire in this supposed vampire apocalypse no matter how many coffins we open. It wasn't, like, a series with epic trailers. I'm not complaining, mind you. … [Read more...] about Vampire Survivors has epic teaser trailers now

Audio player loading… Spider-Man Remastered (opens in new tab) recently launched on PC, and Insomniac's excellent web-em-up instantly attracted the attention of modders. This unfortunately included an individual who took offense at the game's rendition of New York City including some Pride flags among the absolute plethora of American ones. They created a mod that removed the Pride flags, replacing them with the stars and stripes, then uploaded it to Nexusmods using a sockpuppet account called 'Mike Hawk'. Nexusmods (opens in new tab) is arguably the most popular centralised mod database online (sorry Moddb (opens in new tab) ), with a nice clean look, a good community, and all the functionality a PC gamer could wish for. Nexus swiftly removed the mod, and banned the modder's sockpuppet and main account. The sanction led to some community drama about whether someone innocent had been punished. The people who run Nexusmods subsequently decided enough is enough when … [Read more...] about World’s biggest mod site bans mods replacing Pride flags: ‘We don’t want to and won’t argue this with you’

Rogue One, the 2016 Star Wars spinoff, is returning to theaters this month to help hype up the launch of the Rogue One TV series, Andor. The official Star Wars account confirmed that Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will come back to some IMAX theaters starting August 26. But why go to a theater to see a movie released six years ago that's already on Disney Plus? Disney is including an "exclusive sneak peak" at Andor as part of the theatrical re-release. Beyond that, anyone who hasn't seen it already might be interested, and repeat viewers may want a refresher on the big screen ahead of the show's debut on September 21. “Everything I did, I did for the Rebellion.” #Andor , in select IMAX theaters August 26. pic.twitter.com/iR8iD2c0n3 — Star Wars | Andor Premieres Sept 21 on Disney+ (@starwars) August 16, 2022 There is no word on what the "sneak peek" might include, but it's probably some kind of new footage for the Disney Plus series. Diego Luna returns to play Cassian … [Read more...] about Star Wars: Rogue One Returning To Theaters With Sneak Peek At Andor TV Show

Like most soulslike games, Thymesia comes packing a solid challenge, with plenty of secrets to discover and a whole lot of creative ways to dish out damage to your enemies. Whether you're familiar with the basics of the genre or Thymesia marks your entry point, you'll find there are many things the game does differently than other games that follow the classic FromSoftware formula. In this beginner's guide, we'll share a few tips to get you started on your quest through this plague-ridden adventure. Go nuts because there is no stamina meter Unlike almost every other soulslike game, Thymesia doesn't have a stamina bar, which means that aggressive play is encouraged. Due to the fact that you'll need to capitalize on the wounds you inflict by following up rapidly with claw attacks before they heal, you'll want to stay very active and mobile at all times. Without stamina to manage, your only goal is to master the art of diving in and out of range and keeping the pressure on your … [Read more...] about Thymesia Tips For Beginners

Audio player loading… Meet the myBuddy 280 Pi , an adorable dual-armed Raspberry Pi-powered robot. The creator of the myBuddy, Elephant Robotics, calls it an "open-source educational essentials collaborative robot" for coding, AI, and robotics enthusiasts. The little guy features two articulated arms (a first for Elephant Robotics) that can lift 260g of weight, rotate 165 degrees, and perform various tasks like waving hello or conducting a band. The ends of the arms can be fitted with little hands, suction pumps, and grippers. You know, robot stuff. The company's previous robots have featured single-armed creations that seem to lack the personality the myBuddy brings to the table. The myBuddy is powered by a Raspberry Pi 4 with three ESP32 microcontroller modules. The arms run on a high-performance servo steering gear with six points of articulation. The seven-inch touchscreen display has a pair of dual-200w pixel cameras that'll help teach the robot … [Read more...] about You’ll never be as happy as this adorable wiggly-armed robot

Thymesia eschews a traditional magic system in favor of its plague weapon mechanic, which allows you to absorb weapons from your enemies and use them in retaliation. Early in the game, you also unlock the ability to choose a plague weapon to equip and use at will--provided you have enough energy to do so. By farming enemies who wield the weapons, you can earn skill shards to level up your plague weapons even further, making you into a force to be reckoned with. In this guide, we'll list five of the best plague weapons you can carry with you to aid in battle, with a focus on early to mid-game options. Handaxe The Handaxe is excellent for dishing out huge wound damage, and it can stagger enemies for a short while. It casts fairly fast and has solid forward momentum to ensure that you land your hits, and it can be leveled quite easily because there are tons of enemies who wield it. Once you've leveled it up, not only will its energy cost go down quite a bit, but you'll also gain the … [Read more...] about Thymesia: Best Plague Weapons

Audio player loading… There's no shortage of characters to romance in the Mass Effect trilogy. Depending on which version of Commander Shepard you're playing, you can enjoy deep relationships and clunky cutscene coitus with Ashley Williams, Liara T'Soni, Kaidan Whatsisname, Miranda, Jack, Garrus, Tali, Javik, that weird fish guy everyone stans, that non-fish guy everyone hates, and a handful of others. But when you're horny in space, is that really enough? How about one more? Thanks to The Hatboy Project mod, you can now add Jeff "Joker" Moreau to your seemingly endless list of intimate conquests in Mass Effect 3. The mod "creates an all-new romantic narrative for the player to explore" with the quick-witted and endearing pilot of the SSV Normandy. There are new branches of dialogue, custom-written romantic versions of conversations, new ambient voice lines, the option to go from flirting to a committed relationship, and yes, even a "romance scene that is in keeping with … [Read more...] about At long last you can get sexy with Joker in Mass Effect 3
