Who is Tessa Elliot in Murder Drones

Guides
tessa elliot

There is a single living Human in Murder Drones, known as Tessa Elliot. After episode seven, we’re given enough information to say definitely who Tessa Elliott is: they are the current host of Cyn, the improperly dissembled worker drone who mutated the Absolute Solver virus. They’re the main antagonist and villain of the series and have been manipulating the Murder Drones the entire time. Need to refresh on the series? Watch the full series here: MURDER DRONES – Episode 1: PILOT (youtube.com) Tessa Elliot as a Human Tessa Elliot is never shown fully as a Human in the series. In “Heartbeat” and “Home”, Tessa is shown as only a dark silhouette with nothing else but her dress and bow to identify her by. Tessa lived at Elliott Manor where many of the worker drones had previously worked. She loved playing dress up with the worker drones (giving them hair and…

Archetype Arcadia Review (PS5 & PC)

Reviews
Archetype Arcadia

Archetype Arcadia is an Isekai (Wikipedia) visual novel with an exceptional amount of content focused and a very deep story. The game has more content than the larger novels out there and it’s presented beautifully beside great backdrops and rather kicking music as you make your way through 50+ hours of gameplay. If you’re looking for a very long visual novel then the Archetype Arcadia is the hidden gem you’ve been missing. It has a story that is unique (as much as the genres and tropes it plays with allows) and the gameplay that is more than read and choose which is nice. The Story The world has fallen to a disease known as “Peccatomania” which has wiped out most of humanity. Rust, the protagonist, is immune from the disease but his sister suddenly falls ill. The only way to slow the progression of the disease is to spend time…

Why Online Virtual Holiday Video Game Events Feel Less Special

Editorials
hallowsend

The fall chill was in the air, in 2007. It was another Hallow’s End and the decorations, quests and festivities in World of Warcraft were the exact spirit of Halloween. The world felt like a fantasy novel had come alive and the holiday had this sense of true meaning. Now it’s as if a holiday is more side quests, you don’t really want to mess with unless the game offers some kind of inresistable reward for the effort. Players complain frequently about the lack of connection with holiday events or, even worse, they get almost little press and fanfare being more or less automatic gestures of the change of time. Why in two decades has gaming changed so much from the cozy, comfy connected holiday experience to what tad amounts to almost ignorable window dressing in online games? While I think it wouldn’t be fair to answer that with a…

Dave the Diver – Unlocking Cucumbers and Special Events Guide

Guides
DaveTheDiver Illust02

In Dave the Diver you actually don’t get cucumbers until fairly late in the game. You may have even noticed in one of the hotfixes shortly after launch that it wouldn’t give you the cucumber event unless you had the farm unlocked. That’s because the events generally cycle in a rotation and you could, in theory, not have done the farmer’s quest by that time. The only actual quest VIP that you have to do for the story is none of them? I think, actually yeah, you don’t have to catch the seahorses to get enough town popularity. So really, you could play forever and never unlock the farm. Not only do you not get cucumbers until fairly late in the game, but there are special events that occur. We’ve got the details and the general rotation they follow below along with how do you get cucumbers on your farm.…

Video Game Conventions Returning in Full Force: FFXIV to Give Away Polygonal Grapes

News
fanfest29323423

Everything from Final Fantasy XVI to Path of Exile are having their conventions return to their regular cadence. During 2020-2022 it was rather rough for travel and events. Now, in 2023, it seems that more and more games are returning to their yearly fan meet-ups. That’s awesome! To celebrate, this year’s Final Fantasy FXIV Fan Festival is rather awesome: You get a small tote, some nice pins and a stress ball of grapes. This joke is not only rather neato but it also is a return to the things that make the video game community awesome. For some context, some grapes in FFXIV had bugged out and were rendering in their low-polygonal version. A lot of games will derender an asset the further you are from it since you can’t see the fidelity. In this instance, the game wasn’t properly rendering the grapes. It’s neat that games are returning back…

Base Building with the Energy Flow of Feng Shui

Guides
minecraft base

Feng Shui is a very deep practice that has many elements and a lot of philosophy to it. Often thought of in offices and at home, yet rarely thought of in video game homes. Yet, the basic principles of Feng Shui can apply to your Minecraft, Valheim, Rust, Grounded, etc. base just as well at your apartment or house. Let’s dive into that. The Flow of Energy In Feng Shui the idea is that the entrance of the house is where energy begins to flow from. Pathways that everyone walks brings energy with it and manipulating that flow of energy is how you can have good energy or bad energy within a home. While this is a massive oversimplification, that oversimplification can really help to understand the basic principle here. If you think about your base in a game, especially a multiplayer base, you can quickly see the pathways where…

Dave the Diver Vegetable, Fish and Seaweed Farm Guide

Guides
dave the diver farming

In Dave the Diver you will unlock three different kinds of farms: vegetable, fish and seaweed. You’ll unlock them directly in that order. The game does a fantastic job of going over the basics of each farm, but you may be wanting to know what’s coming up or how to deal with specific mechanics. That’s where our guide comes in. We’ll go into unlocking them and how to efficiently run them. In order to avoid spoiling the game, we will not call any specific character out by name or story. We now also have a video guide on YouTube! Unlocking the Farms The first farm is going to be unlocked by a loud-mouthed guest who visits your sushi restaurant fairly on. They’re going to ask for curry and you have to deliver that dish to them yourself. So not only does it have to be on the menu, but Dave…

Dave the Diver GYAO! Guide

Guides
gyao

GYAO! is a traditional Tamagotchi game within Dave the Diver. It follows the exact Tamagotchi formula with some quality-of-life upgrades. You’re probably wondering how to grow and take care of your GYAO! because the game doesn’t provide any tips, unlike other areas of the game. The reason being is that the original Tamagotchi has sort of a thing where folks would play without the instructions. That lead to a lot of Tamagotchi pets lost. Just like the original Tamagotchi Connection, the same instructions do work exactly here. We’ve included the Tamagotchi Connections v1 Instruction bits that are relevant to Dave the Diver at the bottom. How to Care for GYAO! There are two main needs for GYAO! Food and affection. The manage screen shows you this. If you see a mess, click the clean button. If you see the purple skull, press the medicine button. At night, you must check…
