How to find all Dribbles the Clown body parts in Baldur’s Gate 3?

I don’t know about you, but I love the idea of scavenger hunts! Especially when you don’t know what it is you’re looking for. In the beginning ofBaldur’s Gate 3’s third act, you come across the Circus of the Last Days, and its headlining clown, Dribbles! It’d seem every Baldurian is familiar with Dribbles — he’s a local treasure!

Hyrule Warriors had the most successful launch of any Musou game in the U.S.

A fan of the series compiled the above chart showing theHyrule Warriorshad a considerably more successful launch than its predecessors. However, historically theMusouseries has seen its numbers increase throughout a console cycle, so only time will tell ifHyrule Warriorswill surpassDynasty Warriors 4‘s worldwide sales of over two million copies....

I need to stop sleeping on Satisfactory

[Update: The Steam release date forSatisfactoryis August 02, 2025,according to Coffee Stain.] One of these days, I’m going to sink an unholy amount of time intoSatisfactory, a game about building elaborate factories on an alien planet. Today’s news–the release of Update 3, complete with a long-requested pipe-laying system, and a tease for the game’s Steam release–pushes me one step closer. Along with catching the cinematic trailer, I’d suggest checking out theUpdate 3 patch notes– they’re full of cool gifs....

I’m not too impressed by the Star Wars Battlefront beta

But I’m not disappointed either There seems to be a healthy amount of skepticism surrounding the upcoming release ofStar Wars Battlefront, and I don’t blame people. After all, EA is involved — always lurking in the shadows, ready to strike at consumers. This week however the publisher not only confirmed that microtransactions are out, but also dropped the beta on press, with a wide release for consumers in two days. Sure there’s still a bit ofpre-order fuckery, but all in all I don’t think this iteration ofBattlefrontis going to be a disaster in any sense of the word....

LEGO Dimensions’ Sonic pack is better than some recent Sonic games

I like the idea of not doing a LEGO Dimensions 2.0 yet WB was pretty smart with their marketing forLEGO Dimensions. Rather than suffer the same fate asDisney Infinity, a series that had gone through three iterations into its3.0form before being canceled, they made the very non-WB decision to keepDimensionsas one SKU and merely add onto it. So far it’s survived the great toys to life battle of 2016. But it also helps thatDimensionsis a decent little action game, which includes the recently released Sonic pack....
