Sonic Colors came out back in 2010. Since then, the speedrunning community has had its hand in trying to beat the game as fast as possible, with the current world record being for the original Wii version at 55 minutes and 56 seconds by CriticalCyd only 9 months ago. Those on the current rankings can take pride that when they can play the more up-to-date version, they can try their luck with the same skips and tricks....

For anyone that’s been a fan of Sonic, or has at least played any of the 2D games, such as the recent Sonic Mania, they’ll know that Sonic tends to run his way through various stages from the left to right, pushing forward until the goal is reached. The unlockable Mirror Mode in Sonic Origins flips the original games, giving hardcore fans a run for their money. Instead of going through the game like normal, Mirror Mode flips every single stage, and players will have to move from left to right, which can be jarring for those used to the traditional Sonic gameplay....

RELATED: The Hardest Levels In A Sonic Game Initially created by YouTuber 0nyxheart in 2010 using Microsoft Paint, this crudely drawn version of the blue mammal is always eager to go fast and always wants opponents to “step it up.” The character gained such notoriety that he even appeared in live-action movies. He has also been in his fair share of memes. Here are some of them featuring the spunky “hegehog....

The thing is, with a newly-established canon comes the opportunity (or perhaps necessity) for supplemental materials. While the world isn’t quite ready for Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie: The Game just yet, it’s already begun delving into the realm of comic books. But what is possibly more surprising than the existence of a comic based on the Sonic movies is the fact that a certain mad scientist himself has actually contributed to its creation....

Promoted as a game where players could compete for fame and accolades, Driveclub’s multiplayer effectively collapsed at launch, buckling under the game’s popularity. Having initially been promoted as a PS4 launch title, the game was delayed so many times that many expected the game to run smoothly, not for its core features to be unavailable. Not only did Driveclub not work as intended, but we are now five months down the line and the PlayStation Plus version of the game is also yet to materialize....

Delays in the game industry are nothing new, but when an entire console launch is postponed just three days before its scheduled date, people start getting curious. Those living in China that were eager for the console’s arrival on January 11, 2015 now have to wait until a later, currently undecided time, though they’ll probably be alright with the rest of the games available to them. As for the reasons behind the sudden delay, Sony only said that “various factors” were involved....

There’s no clear list of those who are getting PlayStation 5 jackets, but it appears that they’re going to people in the United States who work with Sony. For example, Naughty Dog’s Senior QA Jan “Gabby” Llanillo, who tweeted out a photo of the jacket and another of her wearing it. The insulated jacket bears the color scheme of the console and includes embroidery on the sleeve and chest. The sleeve has the 25th Anniversary emblem, while the front of the jacket reads “PS5 Launch Team....

There have been quite a few patents from PlayStation being published lately that could indicate some of the future features headed to the PlayStation 5 or second iteration of the PlayStation VR headset. The patents largely show some interesting concepts and ideas that could greatly ease the player experience on PlayStation and give more players access to the platform.

Back in July, a report explored the ways Sony was making life hard for indie developers–a list that included providing developers with overly complex tools and forms, unclear processes, and very poor lines of communication. Furthermore, the report claimed that Sony was providing so little advertising effort that the indie developer who published it could no longer see a reason to work with Sony at all.

As of February 19 at 7:00 p.m., the site remained unavailable online. Its associated Twitter account, @GetOnGab, is also no longer available. The Twitter account, which used to have over 419,000 followers, now says “This account doesn’t exist.” Some Twitter users posted that Gab’s site may have been hacked as part of a cryptocurrency scam, though Newsweek was unable to independently verify the information. Twitter told Newsweek that it “did not take enforcement action” on Gab’s account....

Soft skills are qualitative traits like the ability to collaborate, being able to express yourself and communicate freely, accepting different opinions, emotional and mental resilience, and a positive attitude and team support. Whether or not you achieve a quantifiable goal often comes down to whether you possess these qualitative traits. Teams that are strong in these skills usually have a higher probability of achieving directional prosperity because they have the skills needed to adapt and pivot as their environments and resources change....

The mission of his new company, Intentional Software, is “making [computer] code look like design,” he says. The idea is to create tools that will allow programmers to make their intent visible to others. “What you get when you look at a computer program now could be produced by the teletype machine,” says Simonyi, who himself began hacking in high school, on a Russian-made Ural II mainframe. He hopes that his new company will make code look more like Web pages....

From George Washington to Bill Clinton, when the president has issued an order, American soldiers have not hesitated to obey. They salute, move out and frequently die in the course of its execution, even if the command seems unsound. Korea was a sorry war, Vietnam a worse one (its scars won’t disappear until the generation that bled there dies out), while Somalia still makes no sense at all. Yet our warriors went to these miserable places and fought as if U....

Valkyrie is one of the best Legends in Apex Legends currently. First released in Season 9, she possesses an effective kit. Her Tactical, Missile Swarm, and her Passive, VTOL Jets, are two of the best abilities in the game. However, the character stands out due to her Ultimate, Skyward Dive. This ability allows her to launch into the air with her squadmates in tow and reposition across the map. Unsurprisingly, the character has become a regular pick over the past couple of seasons....

The original Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle was a 2017 turn-based tactical strategy game developed by Ubisoft that brought together characters from the Mario franchise and Ubisoft’s own mischievous Rabbids. Taking gameplay cues from turn-based classics, the Mario + Rabbids games give players control of characters from the Super Mario Bros. and Rabbids franchises as they engage in tactical battles using a variety of whimsical weapons and abilities. Despite this seemingly bizarre premise, the game won over both critics and fans with its light-hearted, comedic tone and solid tactical gameplay....

Cambodia was one of the most recent countries to announce that it will administer different COVID-19 vaccines as a booster shot against the virus. According to Reuters, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said during a recent speech that those who have already been vaccinated with the Chinese COVID-19 vaccines, Sinopharm and Sinovac, “should be given AstraZeneca as the third booster dose.” “For Cambodians who have been vaccinated with AstraZeneca, Sinovac should be given as the third dose,” he added, according to Reuters....

The Fallout Twitter account has advertised Wastelanders, which launches on April 14, as changing just about everything to the point that its locale “won’t be the same Appalachia you’re used to.” Different factions of people will be claiming territory, which will henceforth become “no-build-zones” according to a Tweet showcasing the newly refurbished map. Fallout 76 players will have to move their C.A.M.P. if it’s currently located in one of these zones....

Kotaku reports that the GameStop subreddit has seen several complaints this week from employees dealing with system issues ranging from inventory searches getting messed up to pre-order histories being completely erased before shipments arrive. A few employees told the publication that the fiasco stems from a SAP software conversion that started earlier this summer. While it was meant to merge multiple sales and logistics databases and presumably streamline GameStop’s back-end workflow, it has instead created new problems for GameStop’s employees....
