While creating things for a living is definitely the dream, people forget that all types of work can sometimes be boring, meaning that the mind will wander and sometimes you will end up with some pretty silly creations. This is pretty much where the concept of easter eggs and hidden secrets comes from, allowing the creator the chance to throw something silly into all of the serious. That being said, sometimes this sort of stuff is just a mix up made by the developer or even a late feature or character that was eventually cut before the game’s final release....
Warning: contains spoilers for House of the Dragon episodes 1 – 3 and Game of Thrones seasons 1-8. The Game of Thrones TV show is set in the years 298 – 305 AC (After Conquest, referring to Aegon the Conqueror’s conquest of Westeros, unification of the Seven Kingdoms, and the establishment of the Targaryen dynasty on the Iron Throne). New prequel House of the Dragon starts almost 200 years prior to that, in the year 101 AC, and then quickly jumps to nine years into the reign of King Viserys I....
Although it’s been over 6 years since Grand Theft Auto 5 was originally released, it continues to hold a reputation as one of the greatest games of all times. Even today, the title keeps making record sales and a recent free promotion by Epic Games ensures that even more players own a copy now. But what is it that keeps gamers coming back to Grand Theft Auto 5? In many ways, GTA 5 broke the tradition of previous entries by having 3 protagonists: Franklin Clinton, Michael De Santa, and Trevor Philips....
Even though it features a new location and protagonist, Resident Evil 7 connects to the previous games in the franchise in a number of different ways. When Resident Evil 7 was revealed at E3 2016, fans were excited for its return to the franchise’s horror roots, but it wasn’t immediately clear how the game would connect to past Resident Evil titles. Its switch to a first-person viewpoint, focus on virtual reality, and use of new characters left many fans wondering how it could be called a Resident Evil game at all....
How to try John Legend as a Google Assistant voice Ask Google to turn on John Legend’s voice. Just say, “Hey Google, talk like a Legend” or “Hey Google, make me a Legend.” This works if you own a device where Google Assistant is always listening, such as a Google Home. But if your device doesn’t have always-on Assistant enabled, launch Google Assistant (long-press the Home button or press the Assistant button on your phone) and say “talk like a Legend”....
Like any video game website that has been around for a while, we here at Game Rant have dabbled in gameplay streaming. We’ve tried Twitch, YouTube, and a couple other services that are either in their early infancy or didn’t stand the test of time. But one that seems to be in the early phases and has the potential to be something big is Facebook. As it stands right now, Facebook Live streaming is very basic, and is likely not meant for gameplay streaming, but it is still possible to do so....
Snapchat Spectacles: What are they and how do they work? Spotify wants to build a new device possibly like Snapchat Spectacles 33 of the best Snapchat fails and comedy snaps around To create a limitless snap: Open Snapchat and take a photo or video. Then, on the preview screen, select the Infinity timer setting if it’s a photo or the Loop button (on the right) if it’s a video. You can then send it to a friend or friends like normal, and they will be able to view it an unlimited amount of times as long as they keep the message open....
Unlike Harpies, Gorgons, Soldiers, and the like, Griffins are one of the rare encounters in Immortals Fenyx Rising. They patrol a select handful of Vaults and Guarded Chests throughout a couple of the regions. But aside from those locations, Griffins have proven to be exceptionally scarce. That wouldn’t be a big deal if it were all about the excitement of a rare sighting. Unfortunately, several live quests require you to hunt and slay these winged beasts....
Legendary horror novelist Stephen King and his son, the acclaimed horror and comic book author Joe Hill, have collaborated twice on the page, each time coming up with something memorably creepy and squarely in what one could probably call the family tradition. The second of those two tales, “In the Tall Grass,” has now been made into a feature-length film for Netflix by director and writer Vincenzo Natali, the Canadian director who first got on the map in 1997 with the mind-twisting Cube....
To fans’ disappointment, EA says that Skate 4 is not in development. But although the major video game publisher isn’t working on a new entry in its popular skateboarding series, the interest in playing a brand new skating sim hasn’t died down. In Skate 4’s absence, an indie development team named creā-ture studios has been working on its very own skateboarding game called Session (formerly called Project Session.) Like Skate, Session maps the foot controls to the analog sticks, allowing players to pull off Ollies and complicated flip tricks with a few deft pushes, but characters turn using the controller bumpers which may take a little getting used to....
Game Rant recently got a chance to sit down with one half of the development team behind the delightful 2018 indie game Minit to discuss their most recent project: a light arcadey racing game set in the Minit universe, called Minit Fun Racer. That “fun racer” is a close homophone for “fundraiser” is no mistake, since all proceeds earned from sales of the $2.99 game will go to charity for as long as it sells copies....
Not for nothing is Grand Theft Auto V among the games that have gone on to create Guinness World Records. The game has sold over 100 million units worldwide and its success has spanned across three console generations by this point. GTA Online has furthered the story, but the trio of leads have taken a backseat in importance. This could have been changed had the developers decided to go through with the idea of single-player DLCs, which would have focused on the protagonists’ adventures in established storylines from GTA V....
The Grand Theft Auto community supports an economy of rumors, leaks, and datamines all on its own, and even though it has not been announced yet, Grand Theft Auto 6 has already inherited that economy. One of the latest and most talked about Grand Theft Auto 6 rumors is about the game’s protagonists. If it’s true, Grand Theft Auto 6 will feature the franchise’s first female protagonist, and a prominent Grand Theft Auto leaker said he’s confident in the rumor’s veracity....
The Diamond Casino Heist is the most involved and difficult task to pull off in all of GTA Online. If you want to get your team out with the most cash possible, make sure you follow these steps. Just like a true heist, the Diamond Casino Heist in GTA Online will take a lot of prep work to pull off successfully. You and your team will have options at nearly every stage of the heist to determine how it will all play out, and your choices can drastically change how much, or how little, of that sweet loot you end up walking away with....

If there is one thing the Halo series is known for, its split-screen local multiplayer. Apart from Halo 5: Guardians axing same system co-op for its campaign mode, each installment of the series has allowed friends to partner up on one console to tackle the covenant and forerunner threats. That’s one of the reasons Halo became a household name and 343 Industries will be bringing that feature back for Halo Infinite....
