Hytale will feature a “meaningful tribute” to Minecraft legend Technoblade: “He was a big part of our journey”

Hytale, a sandbox RPG inspired by Minecraft, will include a tribute to Technoblade, a prominent figure in the gaming community who passed away in 2022. The game's lead developer, Collins-Laflamme, received permission from Technoblade's father to create a meaningful tribute and is inviting community suggestions. Technoblade, whose real name was Alexander, had aspirations to join the marketing team at Hypixel in 2015 but was too young at the time. Community responses have been positive, with ideas such as a Technoblade constellation and a unique sword. Additionally, Hytale's developers are setting the game's price at an "aggressively low" level, citing a commitment to quality.

How to complete the Black Ops 7 Ashes of the Damned Easter Egg

The Zombies map "Ashes of the Damned" features the largest round-based map in Call of Duty history, with a main questline and numerous easter eggs. Players use a truck named Ol' Tessie for transport, which carries the Pack-a-Punch machine. To unlock Pack-a-Punch, players must retrieve T.E.D.D.'s Head from the Server Room at Janus Towers Plaza and install it on Ol' Tessie. Players can drive to Blackwater Lake to restore power by shooting orange pods off a Power Pump, then proceed to Ashwood for further objectives. Players can upgrade Ol' Tessie with the Abomination Beam after defeating zombies and collecting items. The unique Wonder Weapon, the Necrofluid Gauntlet, is obtained by defeating a miniboss named Uber Klaus and completing various tasks. Players gather six ingredients for a serum, which involves specific actions at different locations. They must find three keys to unlock a box in Ashwood, which rewards the DG-2 Turret Barrel upgrade for Ol' Tessie. Players solve various puzzles at different locations, culminating in a final boss fight against Veytharion, where they must utilize Ol' Tessie and strategic gameplay to succeed.

Valve yoinked a new Counter-Strike 2 map out of the game after just 2 days, either for potential Disney copyright infringement, a ‘gamer word’ hidden in its data, or both

On October 2nd, Valve introduced new community maps for Counter-Strike 2, including one named Transit. However, on October 4, Valve removed Transit from official matchmaking due to potential copyright concerns and an inappropriate entity name. The term "gamer word" refers to a commentary on PewDiePie's use of a racial slur during a 2017 Twitch stream, highlighting issues of language in gaming communities. Initially, four community maps were listed in the update, but Transit was removed shortly after. An easter egg in Transit featured a cat on a zipline, but it was overshadowed by the discovery of a racial slur in an entity name. Rikuda, a co-designer of Transit, took responsibility for the oversight. Speculation also arose regarding a building in the map resembling a structure from Phineas and Ferb, raising concerns about copyright infringement. The incident illustrates the challenges developers face in managing user-generated content.

Dying Light The Beast hides a powerful weapon behind a strange Minecraft homage

Players in Dying Light The Beast can obtain the Last Hand of gloVa, a powerful consumable weapon that allows them to make zombies explode using hand gestures.

Inside, they can dismantle barricades made of pixelated bricks to access a chamber with a golden train, where the Last Hand of gloVa is located. This item is a nod to previous Techland titles, including the Left Hand of gloVa from Dead Island and the Right Hand of gloVa from Dying Light.
