The Outriders demo is out for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, Xbox One, PS4, and PC. And you don't have to worry about where you play-- Outriders supports cross-play between all its platforms, allowing you to connect with your friends wherever they decide to play. That said, you will have to complete a few steps in order to do cross-play multiplayer. Don't worry; it's not too hard to do. First off, you can't even engage in any form of multiplayer until you complete the prologue. The prologue concludes with the mission in which your character becomes fully Altered, allowing you to pick a class. Upon the completion of this mission, you'll unlock the first hub area of Outriders, Rift Town. It's here where you can start teaming up with other players. You can either summon players to your game or join someone else's. To do either, you need to access the matchmaking terminal in Rift Town's garage or click on the "Join A Random Team" or "Play With Friends" buttons from the Lobby. On default … [Read more...] about Outriders Demo Guide: How To Enable Cross-Play Multiplayer

The biggest decision you'll have to make when first jumping into the Outriders demo is deciding which character class is right for you . Spoiler: They're all pretty good. That said, some are better suited for supportive roles in Outriders' cross-play multiplayer , so if you want to play on your own, we'd advise you steer clear of them. If you're thinking of going it solo, we recommend picking Trickster. Both of the close-range classes (the Devastator and the Trickster) seem geared for folks looking to tackle Outriders' campaign solo. But the hit-and-run specialist Trickster manages to inch ahead of the tank-like Devastator as the Trickster's first four abilities are better geared towards crowd control. Whereas the Devastator largely survives through outright endurance, the Trickster can control space and time to teleport around the battlefield and slow the actions of enemies, making it a whole lot easier to get out of a jam and quickly deal tons of damage. Why You Should Pick … [Read more...] about Outriders Demo Guide: The Trickster Is The Best Class For Solo Play

There's more Destiny 2 on the horizon, it seems. Bungie is making moves with its huge MMO game, and while we know Bungie intends to continue to support and expand Destiny 2 for at least another two years, the company also says it's looking for ways to expand Destiny 2 into other media. Bungie put out a press release discussing its plans for 2021, which include expanding its headquarters, pursuing new intellectual property, and more Destiny. The release states that Bungie is nearly doubling the size of its headquarters in Bellevue, Washington, and means to use the space to develop new games, as well as to continue to support Destiny 2. "In addition to building state-of-the-art facilities to support the growth and development of their talented employees, one of the primary drivers of Bungie’s expansion is to increase the commitment to the long-term development of Destiny 2, tell new stories in the Destiny Universe, and create entirely new worlds in to-be-announced IPs," the release … [Read more...] about Bungie Says It’s Expanding Destiny 2 Into Other Media

A new video has revealed that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild began life as a prototype based on a map of the Japanese city of Kyoto. In a video published earlier this week from DidYouKnowGaming?, several intriguing facts about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild are revealed. At the very beginning of the video, it's revealed that one of the very first decisions made by Hidemaro Fujibayashi, game director of Breath of the Wild, was to build a prototype of the game's map of Hyrule on the scale of Kyoto, the Japanese city in which Nintendo's headquarters are located. The video outlines that this was done to convey how huge the developers intended the map of Hyrule to be. The development team then thought about all the smaller details in Kyoto, like how often you'd run into post boxes, and considered this a template for how often you should encounter landmarks in Breath of the Wild's Hyrule. It's a fascinating detail in a fascinating video. If you're looking to … [Read more...] about Breath of the Wild map started life as a scale version of Kyoto

The PlayStation 5 is as hard to find today as it was nearly four months ago when Sony unveiled the next-generation console. At the time, it sold out within minutes and it remains mostly sold out today. The console is sold in two variations: a $500 model with Blu-ray and the less expensive $400 digital-only model that lacks an optical drive. Both configurations occasionally appear in limited quantities, but they tend to sell out quickly. For the latest updates on when retailers might have inventory and offer it for sale online, be sure to check back here frequently. You can monitor where the PS5 is available on your own; Twitter, for example, is a good source of restock rumors. But we occasionally get word directly from retailers and tipsters about upcoming inventory restocks, and we update this post immediately. Be aware: It will likely be months before anything approximating normal inventory levels appears in stores, so getting your own PS5 is likely to be a challenge … [Read more...] about Where to buy PS5: Updates for Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart and other retailers

How did my yearlong relationship with chili crisp start? I'm not really sure anymore. I think it was some article, a tweet, realizing it was already a trend somewhere. The look of the jar reminded me of something. I knew the taste, the funk. I had it in a Sichuan restaurant before. So things go in the pandemic time: fuzzy memories out of time, stuff absorbed from social feeds. An idea floats up out of the sea of tweets. Sometimes I'm late to discoveries, or right on time. My love affair began last summer, back when isolation had only been happening for a few months, yet still felt like forever. I ordered three jars of Lao Gan Ma. This company and its condiments had already become a pandemic trend then. I thought I was late. But I also realized I was cooking all the time, ordering everything I needed online and never going to stores, and I had completely avoided restocking my spices. Instead of dreaming of Sichuan food I could no longer eat in restaurants, maybe I could just try … [Read more...] about My love affair with chili crisp, savior of oatmeal, caviar and my soul

The lawyers sometimes referred to each other by their first names, a no-no under courtroom decorum. Stranger still, no one stood or bowed when the judge appeared. But, then, she was presiding over the trial from her office, not perched up on the dais. And she wasn’t wearing her judicial robe and red sash, just conservative business attire. But with only minimum social distancing and no need for masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19 , Ontario’s first major criminal “Zoom case” is winning rave reviews from two veteran defence lawyers representing the men on trial for gun-trafficking charges. “The process is much more efficient and, more importantly, egalitarian and fair,” Reid Rusonik wrote in an email. “The accused aren’t shoved away in a box, and the defence also has its office and resources nearby.” During the global pandemic, videoconferencing apps such as Zoom have emerged as tools for people looking to carry on as before, with everything from business meetings to yoga … [Read more...] about Inside Ontario’s first major criminal trial by Zoom

Working from home doesn't feel entirely real. more Technically Incorrect The Boeing 737 Max is back? Not everyone is convinced McDonald's customers just got great news. It began as an engineer's bit of fun IT leaders hardly ever get it wrong (say IT leaders) A QR code on your gravestone? It's dead serious A little like the world of advertising, perhaps. Sometimes, advertisers want to make us believe that joy is within reach -- as long as we buy their infinitely joyous product, that is. I wonder, though, how much joy moms working from home will feel on seeing Samsung suggest that earning a crust in their bedrooms and living rooms is so much fun. As long as you have a Galaxy Tab S7 , that is. Samsung's latest ad offers mom getting up at 7am and immediately leaping on her Tab and onto a Zoom call. She then wakens her offspring and immediately puts the Tab in front of them to quieten them down. I'm sorry, I mean to let them watch cartoons. … [Read more...] about Samsung says moms working from home should be enjoying it (seriously)

So if you want to watch Adesanya vs Blachowicz, we've got everything you need wherever you are in the world. The early prelims are just getting underway, but you've got hours to go before the main card kicks off for UFC 259 in Las Vegas. The main event will see Israel Adesanya take his shot at becoming the fifth fighter to join the champ-champ club, but standing light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz has fought hard for this title and isn’t going to give it up easily. Should Adesanya take the belt, however, he will become the first to hold both a middleweight and light heavyweight title at the same time. It’s a tantalizing prospect for the middleweight champion, with an impressive start to his MMA career earning him third place in the UFC pound-for-pound rankings and a stunning 20-0 record.
