It's been about 1 year since v3.0 let you pet the dogs and other animals. Here are some of the biggest things we've added since then.

• Many new game modes:
  • Halloween mode, WaltonWare Halloween, and other varieties - adds zombies, limited saves, and Mr. H who is a big invincible guy that roams the map and tries to smack you.
  • Mr. Page's Mean Bingo Machine - A new mode where you play through the whole game, but must complete a bingo line before being allowed to progress to the next mission. Once you get to the next mission, you are given a new bingo board!
  • Zero Rando Plus - like "Zero Rando" (no randomization, very vanilla) but Plus more quality of life additions and balance tweaks.
  • Speedrun Training mode - shows where possible goal locations are without spoiling them.
  • We split off the old "Normal Randomizer" mode into "Full Randomizer", with the new "Normal Randomizer" being a more welcoming game mode to learn the Randomizer.
  • Strong Augs mode - increases the strength of augmentations.
  • One Item Mode - Our new dumbest game mode! All items in a map will be replaced with a single type of item (eg. all flares, all biocells, or all beers)

• Many new loadouts and augmentations:
  • The default "All Items Allowed" loadout now starts with the new inferior "Running Enhancement" instead of the old "Speed Enhancement". Choose the "Speed Enhancement" loadout if you want to start with that like before.
  • The Three Leg Augs loadout - Allows Running Enhancement, Jump Enhancement, and Run Silent. You start with one of them. Enables aug slot rando by default.
  • My Vision Is Augmented loadout - Allows Vision Enhancement, Short-Range Vision Enhancement, InfraVision, and Motion Sensor. You start with one of them. Enables aug slot rando by default.
  • Random Starting Aug (instead of Running Enhancement)
  • And more!

• Lots of balance changes
  • Allowing even more variety of play styles, especially with augmentations.
  • Balance changes are also now toggleable in the options. Disabled by default for Zero Rando, but most are enabled by default for Zero Rando Plus.
• More goals rando, especially for Gordon Quick, and Area 51.
• New augmentation slot randomization feature (so speed can be an eye aug)
• Multiple, rotating quicksave slots
• New menu to change current in-game settings
• Many new bingo goals and improvements to our bingo game modes!
• Deus Ex: Revision support is massively improved as a whole

• We're doing a speedrun marathon on Sunday for Deus Ex's 25th Anniversary! (June 22nd)
  • All of the Deus Ex games are here, including some runs of the Randomizer
  • Stream: https://twitch.tv/sumofbesties
  • Schedule: https://oengus.io/marathon/dx25/schedule/dx25
• Our speedrun leaderboard was created about a year ago: https://www.speedrun.com/dxrando (we split the leaderboard for a couple of big updates that changed the run a lot)
• We did 3 amazing speedrun races: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZIQTa_kwZhDZjz905W-hpORQ4S1Rj3a6

It also seems as though plans for a sequel to Baldur’s Gate 3 are in the early stages already. Speaking to PC Gamer, Eugene Evans, the senior vice president of digital strategy and licensing for WotC and Hasbro, said the company has already started conversations about what the next Baldur’s Gate game will look like and how it’ll be made. “We’re now talking to lots of partners and being approached by a lot of partners who are embracing the challenge of, what does the future of the Baldur’s Gate franchise look like?” he said.

Full title: He was devastated when his favorite Facebook game shut down, but at 10 years old, what could he do? 8 years later, he's got the rights, the original code, and is about to relaunch Dungeon Rampage on Steam

What if Sherlock Holmes met Resident Evil? Well, here you go:

Curse: Eye of Isis.

No, it’s not actually Sherlock Holmes battling bioweapons, but you do play as a 19th-century detective investigating the theft of an Egyptian artifact at a British museum—only to stumble onto undead monsters that want you very, very dead.

You get to choose between two detectives: Dr. Darien Dane or his assistant, Victoria Sutton. They even have different scenarios, though, let’s be honest, you’ll be hunting for keys and weapons either way. Expect plenty of zombies. And mummies. Lots of mummies.

This one’s ancient by gaming standards—2003—so you’re dealing with the classic fixed camera angles and tank controls that defined survival horror back then.

Reviews were meh when it came out, but since nobody really makes games like this anymore, I’d wager a lot of people today would actually get a kick out of it. Sure, the controls are a little wonky, but it’s easy to pick up and play.

Definitely worth a spin!

It doesn’t look like Borderlands 4 will make the jump in price up to $80. A visit to the Xbox Store shows that the base version of Borderlands 4 will cost $69.99.

There are other editions of the game that are more pricey, including a $99.99 Deluxe Edition and $129.99 Super Deluxe Edition.
