Tank-Form Shadow boss weakness and strategy in Persona 3 Reload

By the time players reach the Tank-Form Shadow Boss inPersona 3 Reload, they should start expecting the unexpected. Each boss encountered thus far has had some interesting quirk or gimmick attached to them. One of these is a tank-like shadow, who is no exception. Although none of its attacks hit particularly hard, its initial presentation makes it seem like a battle of attrition. It’s resistant to all damage types outside Almighty attacks and doesn’t go down when landing a critical hit....

The Daily Hotness: Face to Face with Weird Al Yankovic

Weird Al has a new “talk” show on the Nerdist Channel on YouTube. It’s essentially a continuation of those fake interviews he conducted back in the day, in which he would re-edit existing footage of a celebrity interview and insert his own questions. It’s strange, uncomfortable, and so very Al. Plus, he totally rips on Michael Cera big time. Today, Podtoid is back to business, Jayson Napolitano scores us some sweet samples from theDiablo IIIsoundtrack, Jim gets on Sega’s bad side once again with hisSonic 4: Episode 2review,BioShock Infinitesays goodbye to 2012, and the Japanese have their own brunette version of Juliet Starling....

The first few hours of Tales of Arise are all about its dual protagonists

The newest Tales finds its core with itsOdd Couplepair of heroes Having good leads in an RPG can be make-or-break for some games. Any lengthy role-playing game will likely ask you to spend somewhere from 40 or more hours with its cast, and the majority of it with the protagonist. That time gets easier if the protagonist is likeable, and thankfully, I really liked both of the protagonists ofTales of Ariseduring its first few hours....

This Demon’s Souls PvP cage match is my kind of chaotic nonsense

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right Don’t mind me, just thinking of reasons to roll a fresh character forDemon’s SoulsPvP. It’s been several months since I’ve playedDemon’s Souls— honestly, reason enough for a revisit — and I didn’t engage with the PvP much on PS5. My energy went into the platinum trophy, and now that I’ve built it back up, I’m ready for shenanigans. This literal cage match, recorded by Reddit userEnderSkoom, is the tipping point....

This Fallout 4 talent overview should be a cartoon series

Love these vids The “SPECIAL” system has played a part in theFalloutseries, consisting of powers from the disciplines of Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility and Luck. In a loveable (and gruesome) cartoon format, Bethesda has reminded us of the “S” part of this mechanic, hyping us up forFallout 4‘s impending release in November. I still can’t believe that it’s coming out so soon. While videos like this are charming, I would really love more concrete info on what we can expect, and possibly some sort of descriptionfor their Season Pass....
