Sonic Creator Confirms Old Rumor - Michael Jackson Composed Music for Sonic the Hedgehog 3
The decades old rumor/worst kept secret has finally been officially confirmed.
Sonic the Hedgehog creator Yuji Naka took to Twitter to officially confirm a rumor that has been kicking around for literal decades now: Michael Jackson composed some of the music for the 1994 release of Sonic the Hedgehog 3. It makes a lot more sense now as to why some of the Sonic 3 tracks in the recently released Sonic Origins package had to be changed.
It's long been a theory that Jackson... -

This Midsommar Event is a limited time affair, though neither Torn Banner Studios nor Tripwire mentioned when exactly it will end. I suppose if you are interested in playing during this event, you should just go play it as soon as possible because... -

Team Fortress 2 Receives Substantial Exploit Fix Update
No, this update doesn't directly tackle the bot problem.
An update for Team Fortress 2 was released last night for the 15-year-old game. While this update does not tackle the game's horrific bot problem directly, it does fix a number of bugs and exploits. It's one of the larger patches released for the game in quite some time now.
The update fixes some exploits related to being able to use sv_cheats on secure servers. That seems like a pretty important thing to fix. It... -

If you wanted something else from developer DICE, like maybe a new Mirror's Edge, you're going to have a long wait. In the here and now, DICE has no plans to make anything not-Battlefield related. In fact, it seems as though the studio is only focused on Battlefield 2042 at the moment.

by Shawn ZipayGet that Premium Edition and play three days early!
Looks like the latest growing trend with game releases is to offer a more expensive Premium or Gold or whatever edition that grants you access to a game a few days ahead of its official release.
Starfield did it with their $99.99 (USD) Premium Edition. Today, Payday 3 is doing an "Early Access" release with their Silver and Gold editions. Diablo 4 did the same thing earlier in the year, as did Madden NFL 24,...I don't mind. If people want to spend more to play early, let them!33.33%1I'm indifferent to the whole idea.33.33%1I think it's kind of dumb that people get to play earlier. Spending more shouldn't offer a "head start" on other paying customers.33.33%1Other (describe below)0%0-
