The Day Before Studio Has Shut Down

By

In case you haven't heard of The Day Before, Fntastic studios announced a revolutionary open world post apocalyptic world video game a few years back. The teasers all boasted stunning visuals and exciting gameplay. The trailers alone excited fans of the genre and it became one of Steam's most sought-after games. Well, after years of setbacks (including a name change as well as other controversies that even led the developer to call out "haters"), the game FINALLY released on Steam and boy was it...bad. Unplayable actually. And I don't mean like Anthem where there was actually a game hidden behind the brokenness. I mean like, players could not even start the first mission as they were spawning into the game through the walls and floor of the map. That's even if they could log in to begin with. The game was littered with reused and default Unreal Engine assets of a basic survival MMO game. It also ended up being a generic extraction shooter. With all the false advertisement, people quickly posted thousands upon thousands of negative reviews on Steam as well as accused the studio of scamming players. After all of this bad press hit, the studio, Fntastic, announced it would be closing it's doors.


In a time where unfinished games are more common than not, this seems like a bit of overkill. Later in the day, a company claiming to be the investor in The Day Before released a statement as well.


This whole thing is a mess and a huge disappointment, not only to gamers but to any developer out there hoping to show off something awesome and gain the trust of their fellow community.

Disney Dreamlight Valley: How To Equip And Use Your Glider

By
Are you wondering how to use your new Glider in Disney Dreamlight Valley? Have no fear as I am here to tell you exactly how to do it! If you happen to be blasting or skipping through menus in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you may be wondering how the heck to equip that shiny new surfboard glider you got. Well, all you have to do is go to your Wardrobe, scroll down to Gliders and select it! Easy as a hot dog! But how do you hop on this thing and use it? Well for that, first you MUST make sure your stamina bar is in the yellow. You do this by eating cooked meals that will take you above your maximum stamina bar. Once this is complete, just run for a few seconds until an icon appears in the bottom left side of the screen. Tap that button (For me, on Xbox, it's B) and PERFECTO! You'll be gliding in no time! Make sure to pay attention to your stamina bar as it will run out pretty quickly though! For more tips, opinions, and overall shenanigans, make sure to leave a comment and come back

Movie Backlog: The Fast And The Furious (2001)

By
 I'm a bit ashamed of myself. And, to a point, somewhat proud. I have never watched any of the Fast and Furious movies other than 2 Fast 2 Furious for some reason. So I got sick over the weekend and decided to start watching the entire season to see what I have missed over the last 20 years. Here are some of my thoughts on the first movie into this adrenaline-filled, NOS-injected, action-packed love story.  The Fast This movie starts out at a pretty fast pace. Quick racing, quick fights, all the machismo you can shake a stick at. We get to follow Brian O'Connor, played by the late Paul Walker. A blonde surfer type who is an undercover cop sent to investigate the infamous street racing gang leader, Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel). This is because a bunch of truck's have been hijacked and good ole Dommy boy is the main suspect. We find out the Brian likes tuna sandwiches. Pretty dang cool I guess. I'm not a car guy and I will never pretend to be, but what I noticed is there are

A.K.I Slithers into Street Fighter 6!

By
The second Street Fighter 6 DLC character is here! A.K.I, a brand new character to the series arrived this week, just in time for Halloween. Her slithery, unsettling, poison wielding moves will be sure to not only creep out players, but also shake things up for the online warriors out there.    She has a mix of mid and long range range moves, plus projectiles and specials that inflict poison on the opponent. Her moveset and specials take inspiration from F.A.N.G. Well... not surprising because she's an apprentice of F.A.N.G! Not only that, she's a little bit obsessed with him. Ok, maybe A LOT bit obsessed. Don’t worry though, she’s way cooler than F.A.N.G. Her design (I'm still 50/50 on the hair) and engaging move set make her way more appealing to use than her obsession.   Street Fighter's YouTube page has a great breakdown of her gameplay. If you want to learn a bit about her move set, strengths, and weaknesses, I recommend that you watch! So far I’m having a blast us
