One of BioShock Infinite’s best narrative devices is its music

BioShock Infinite's soundtrack has had a lasting impact since its launch thirteen years ago, particularly through its innovative use of music that blends different time periods. A significant moment features the Bee Sharps, a barbershop quartet performing the Bee Gees' "God Only Knows," juxtaposing a 1912 setting with a song from over fifty years later. Another poignant scene includes Booker and Elizabeth discovering an acoustic guitar, where Elizabeth sings lines from the hymn "Will the Circle Be Unbroken." The music enhances the game's emotional depth and storytelling, making it a crucial part of its legacy and gameplay experience.

Valorant’s dating sim is real, playable now, and its dev urges you to “be a little cringe and follow your heart”

Bee is the lead developer of Amorant, a Valorant dating sim that was recently unveiled at the VCT circuit. The game features a demo where players act as the Valorant Protocol's janitor, dealing with chaos caused by Phoenix. The demo received positive reactions from a diverse audience at the Champions tournament. Amorant diverges from traditional dating sims by focusing on character understanding rather than simply winning affection. Each of the eleven launch characters will have their own narrative paths, with future character tracks in development. Bee emphasizes authenticity in character portrayal, particularly for Phoenix, and highlights the importance of cultural sensitivity in the game's narratives. The demo was released on October 13.

Minecraft fans are convinced that Mojang has accidentally leaked its next Live event date, but don’t get your hopes up – it looks like it might actually be the remains of an old typo

Mojang announced a shift to hosting two annual Minecraft Live showcases, with the next event speculated to occur on September 22, 2025, at 1:00 PM ET, according to a detail found on the Spanish Minecraft Live webpage.

Additionally, the founder of the Hypixel Minecraft server revealed that 1.1 billion Minecraft accounts have engaged with their platform over the past 13 years.
