Sometimes booting up your favorite game, Valorant, and joining a lobby isn’t as simple as it should be. Games, particularly those of the live service variety, are prone to errors of all kinds. They’re very complicated programs after all. But one particular error that Valorant players are running into is the queue being disabled. Here’s how to work around that. Valorant Competitive Queue is Disabled There is really only one way to resolve the queue being disabled and that’s to have patience....

Some old modes are returning alongside the introduction of some new ones. There were a number of reveals during today’s Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct stream, including announcements about new characters and stages. There was also a segment of the stream dedicated to the game’s various modes, allowing for numerous different ways to play the party fighter. The first mode detailed in the stream was Squad Strike, a 3 vs. 3 or 5 vs....

A new player’s journey into the Wasteland The Wasteland series is a pretty great mix of all the things I typically enjoy in video games. It’s a post-apocalytpic RPG (its predecessor is often seen as the FIRST of the genre, in fact), it offers a deep and rich amount of choice, and while it touches on serious and gritty topics it maintains its sense of humor. And yet, Wasteland 3 is my first interaction with the series that is beloved by so many around the world....

Watch Dogs: Legion failed to set the world on fire when it launched in October of last year. The hook was the fact that there was no central character, and players could recruit from a vast range of potential NPCs, effectively taking them over to play through the story. Exactly why the game failed to shine is up for debate, but part of the reason for many players was the lack of connection to a main protagonist....

Bicolor Gemstones returned in Endwalker, the latest expansion for Final Fantasy XIV. The previous expansion, Shadowbringers, introduced these unique currency items into the game. But with their inclusion in Endwalker, they have an even more significant role. Bicolor Gemstones are a currency that is earned by completing FATEs in either Endwalker or Shadowbringers zones. Upon completing a FATE, you are rewarded several Bicolor Gemstones. This varies depending on the zone and the level of completion....

Unlike most battle royales, Nintendo has chosen to go their own way with Super Mario Bros. 35, with the game lacking a battle pass, cosmetics, and all other claustrophobic items. On the other hand, there is an in-game currency, but one familiar to Mario fans. The coins players collect on each stage look no different than past games, but some are confused on why there’s such an emphasis on collecting them....

If you are signed up on a lot of websites, chances are there are a lot of passwords that you need to remember. While password managers definitely make the task easier, wouldn’t it be better if you simply didn’t have to remember passwords at all? That’s what the newly announced ‘Passkeys’ aim to do. So, what are Passkeys, and how can you use them? Well, that’s exactly what we’re going to discuss here....

If you’ve been entering Distortions since the early parts of the game, you will very likely have picked up a couple of shards. They come in three colors: red, blue, and green. In previous games, they could be exchanged for TMs. But since Pokémon Legends: Arceus doesn’t have those, what are these shards for? The red, blue, and green shards are key materials for an item called a Star Piece. You can buy its recipe from the craftsman in Jubilife Village later on in the game....

In Genshin Impact, many of Teyvat’s present-day inhabitants only know of one moon hanging in the skies at night. At one point in the world’s history, however, three moons could be seen illuminating the night sky alongside the stars. According to various legends, these moons were actually three cosmically powerful beings responsible for controlling the land’s lunar cycle—the Moon Sisters. Note: Minor Genshin Impact spoilers for the Moon Sisters follow....

MultVersus is Warner Bros.’s newly announced and upcoming platform fighting game. It has taken clear inspiration from the successful Super Smash Bros. Series and others such as Brawlhalla and Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl. As such, players may be wondering what consoles it will be coming to. MultiVersus will be coming to PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X and S. Notably absent from that list is the Nintendo Switch which is surprising considering the success of platform fighter Super Smash Bros....

There’s a lot going on in Star Ocean: Divine Force that the game doesn’t explicitly tell you. Some of common examples are what certain terms and events mean. Before, we covered oddities about the AP gauge and how to keep it long. For this guide, we’ll teach you about HIT. What is HIT in Star Ocean Divine Force? Combos are a huge factor as to whether or not your enemies go down quickly, and HIT is what indicates how many combos you’ve chained....

As the popularity and growth of Bitcoin continue to rise, investors and governments are investing their resources in the cryptocurrency. We recently saw the Central American country El Salvador become the world’s first country to accept Bitcoin as a legal tender. Now, a Canadian city has recently announced that it would become the world’s first city to use Bitcoin mining to heat houses. The system to generate the heat through Bitcoin mining will be set up by early 2022....

This is one of the best Halo: Reach montages that I have ever seen. Set to “Gold Guns Girls” by Metric, there is some serious high level play on display here, with some great video editing. Compiled by Just Mad, the video has quite a few nice overkills throughout and some really slick shooting to close out the video. If this one doesn’t make you want to brush up on your Halo: Reach skills, nothing will....

With the PlayStation 5 expected to hit the market in 2020, rumors surrounding the device have been picking up steam recently. Now, a new patent filing in Japan seems to have revealed a few important design cues about the upcoming console’s controller. Unsurprisingly, the device looks a lot like a DualShock 4, with a very similar D-pad, similar button placement and an apparent touch bar. It’s worth noting that Sony officially revealed a few interesting tidbits about the PS5 controller a few weeks back....

We live in a visual world, and Instagram rules it. A 2018 study found Android users of the app average 53 minutes a day scrolling feeds and swiping stories. More people are spending more time analyzing others’ lives through images. Those who are hyper alert of this new reality understand it’s not enough to take a picture and post it, unconcerned with the noticeable slant or the obviously low resolution....

It took us all by surprise when we first learned that classic animated duo Tom & Jerry were making their first foray into the world of live-action. We never knew just how the clashing cat and mouse would look on the big screen, but now a new trailer has given us our first look at them… and they’re already at battle with each other! In the movie from Warner Bros., the iconic rivals go head to head once more when Tom is asked to eliminate Jerry after he moves into New York City’s finest hotel, the day before what is called the ‘wedding of the century’....

A new game from the creators of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Ubisoft recently held their E3 press conference for this year, and among a number of updates on existing games and franchises, the company also took the opportunity to announce a completely new IP.
