Sometimes way, way outside the lines. Over the years some players filled those blank canvases with creations that completely boggle the mind. Below we’ve gathered some of the wildest and most impressive creations in construction management sims we’ve ever seen. Rollercoaster Tycoon: Maze takes an NPC 263 years to solveYou’ve heard of walking simulators, but you’ve never really seen one until now. Because picnics last an afternoon, and this maze takes a couple centuries.

The Fortnite Playground limited time mode finally got underway for real this week and has managed to run along pretty well since. Today Epic announced that the Playground will stay open until July 12—right when Fortnite Season 5 kicks off—at which point it will be taken down and reworked for a future LTM release. Epic said it hopes to enable team selection options within the Playground itself in the next iteration. “The Playground LTM represents our first step into what a full creative mode look

Week 10 of Fortnite Season 4 has one final set of challenges to hammer out before that crack in the sky splits open and Fortnite Season 5 pours out. This week, you’ll need to “search between movie titles”, and no, that doesn’t mean the answer lies in your dad’s VHS collection. Two of those spring to mind immediately, the lion at the north entrance of the new soccer stadium for one, the sitcom TV set to the northwest. Check out the images and GIF for the precise solution to the “search between mo

So in the meantime, why not have a go at Dead Air, a newly released mega-mod for the original Stalker. Dead Air comes to us from the folks who made Call of Misery, a notoriously difficult Stalker mod. But while Misery was a big influence on Dead Air, it does way more than ratchet up the difficulty. As the Dead Air team explains on Moddb, “it changes all aspects of the game, from graphics, audio, and special effects to various gameplay and AI features.” “The player’s stealthiness now depends on t

Announced three years ago this month, it looks like The Witcher tabletop roleplaying game is finally going to make it to release. The game is set between video games The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3 , with some modularity to reflect The Witcher 2’s multiple possible endings. It was announced in 2015 and originally scheduled for release in 2016, with R. Talsorian Games founder and Cyberpunk 2020 creator Mike Pondsmith serving as lead designer. But Pondsmith consulting with CD Projekt on Cyberpunk

The first update will add more than 50 new rooms spread throughout Moonlighter’s four dungeons, improve the appearance of armor and enchanted items, and add more tutorials to better explain shop upgrades. After that, a New Game+ mode is planned, along with all-new Dimensional Weapons and Amulets. Third on the list are companions who will join you on your journeys, and the addition of custom game options that will enable players to set up more “diverse experiences.” And finally, the Trouble Updat

The cause of his consternation is a thread alleging that he and Victoria “Dinglederper” Weeks, his former girlfriend, are “back to scamming” people with something called VGO skins. Varga was suspended from Twitch in 2016 over his association with skin gambling site CSGOShuffle, which he heavily promoted on his channel without disclosing the fact that he allegedly owned it. “VGO items are designed to mimic the trading experience of popular games, but without onerous trading restrictions or fear o

Let’s get one thing straight: I like free stuff, and I especially like it if I can get free stuff by sitting around doing nothing. Every year, Warframe has an annual Devstream called TennoLive where they reveal all sorts of new Warframe-goodness. And this year, just for watching it on Twitch you can get Ash Prime — one of the best Warframes — for FREE. Last year, TennoLive revealed the Plains of Eidolon, which brought open-world exploration to Warframe. So here are the details — link your acc

The proper release of Fortnite’s 60-minute sandbox mode, Playground, kicked off an ever-growing list of impressive in-game projects ranging from lakeside castles to to-scale Call of Duty maps. Of course, players have also been doing impressive things in the normal game mode for a while, and the latest from the folks at YouTube channel WiziBlimp is a sight to behold: using some clever camera work and well-timed dance emotes, WiziBlimp recreated the entire music video for Finesse by Bruno Mars (fe

Digidiced has announced that it is developing a videogame version of board game The Castles of Burgundy to be released in 2019. In The Castles of Burgundy, players work to build the best medieval princedom by building up the territory they control with new settlements, resources, trade, and—of course—castles. First released in 2011, Castles of Burgundy was the game that launched the current popularity of designer Stefan Feld, who has since developed a cult following. The Castles of Burgundy has

All we know is that the ‘battle pass’ will probably stick around longer than loot boxes, and that they feel nice going down. While Dota 2’s battle pass is an annual event, Fortnite refreshes with a new pass every three months or so. But they all reward battle stars, points that go towards the battle pass to unlock new skins, emotes, dances, and even loading screens at every tier. Rocket LeagueAfter rolling out its own contentious version of loot boxes, Psyonix is about to give the battle pass mo

If you’re looking to buy a cheap gaming PC and/or something you can use as a relatively affordable HTCP, the ABS Mag might be right up your alley. It has an AMD Ryzen 3 2200G processor with Vega graphics inside, and is on sale at Newegg today for $479.99. Check out our review of the Ryzen 3 2200G if you need a refresher on what the chip offers and how it performs. Summed up, it’s the “new darling of anyone looking to build a modest gaming PC or HTPC on a tight budget.” Factoring in the keyboard,

Biostar is releasing its first NVMe solid state drive family and that could be good news for gamers on a budget. The new drives come in the M.2 format, which are those gumstick-sized SSDs, and shuttle data through the PCIe bus. Even Biostar’s top-performing M500 SSDs don’t come come close to those speeds, with the gap in read performance being especially high. Biostar’s M500 drives come protected in a diamond shaped heatsink to give the SSDs an “edgy gaming look” and efficient cooling to prevent

Last week, one of LG’s 1080p monitors was just $100 at Newegg. If you missed out on that deal, but you’re still looking for a cheap (but good) display, here’s another opportunity. Dell’s 24-inch ‘SE2417HG’ monitor is just $109.99 while supplies last. As for tech specifications, the SE2417HG is a TN anti-glare monitor running at 60Hz, with a 2ms response time. You can buy the monitor from Dell’s website.

The Kingdom Come: Deliverance DLC From the Ashes is live today, and developer Warhorse Studios has rolled out a new video providing a closer look at what players can do when they’re given the job of bailiff of a village being rebuilt on the ruins of a bandit camp. From the Ashes is a little different from most DLC releases because it’s not an “extra,” but is integrated into the primary campaign. Different types of buildings will cost or generate money, but more importantly they open doors to new

Gigabyte is shipping its first memory kit through its Aorus brand, and like a growing number of RAM products, it features RGB lighting. “This feature makes it completely unnecessary for the user to purchase a completely different set of memory modules with RGB functionality to fill out the DIMM slots of the memory configuration, without affecting their budget. Users can now add RGB Infused Demo Modules to their boards to enjoy a full memory configuration packed with RGB brilliance,” Gigabyte exp

It isn’t just the best horror game on PC, but also a lovingly crafted and fanatically faithful recreation of Ridley Scott’s sci-fi classic. The slow, tense pacing, claustrophobic setting, and that eerie, brooding Ennio Morricone soundtrack would make for a wonderfully atmospheric horror game. McTiernan’s action classic, which ends with hero Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger) outsmarting and defeating the technologically advanced creature with primitive, improvised traps, is the perfect setup for an I

Robots have now surpassed human-level competence in a stripped-down version of Quake 3 Arena’s Capture the Flag. The bots are said to have played 450,000 games against themselves, each lasting five minutes within a procedurally generated map. In order to test the bots’ abilities, DeepMind hosted a tournament with two-player teams of humans, two-player teams of bots, and a mixture of both. The bot-only teams accrued a 74 percent win probability—against 52 percent for skilled humans and 43 percent

Fear the Wolves is a “post-apocalyptic first person shooter battle royale” from Vostok Games. It launched its beta test sign ups last week, and now has an Early Access release date: July 18. When it lands in Early Access, Fear the Wolves will offer players 20 guns, 25 attachments, 15 armour sets, and a familiar genre staple haul of air drops and consumables. “The first Early Access version already features the core gameplay and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Fear the Wolves enters Steam’s Early Access initiativ

Everything we know about Fallout 76 so far suggests our next wasteland wander will be unlike its forerunners. For starters, Fallout 76 is an online multiplayer survival game. Elder Scrolls Online is one of the biggest online games in the world, we have Fallout Shelter which we keep updating, and Elder Scrolls: Legends.” Of course, Fallout Shelter, The Elder Scrolls Online, TES: Legends, and the incoming TES: Blades and Fallout 76 are games less reminiscent of Bethesda’s traditional 100-hour plus
