RedOctane recently unveiled Stage Tour with a first look trailer. Similar to Guitar Hero, the game lets players perform songs using a plastic guitar controller. It uses the familiar five-button layout found in Guitar Hero and Rock Band, and promises new features, game modes, customizable bandmates and instruments, competitive gameplay, and ongoing seasonal content and live events. Though the trailer focuses on the guitar, RedOctane has confirmed that other instruments will also be playable.

Like many fans, I play Stardew Valley on several devices. While I usually play on the Switch, I got it on PC to immediately experience the 1.6 update. It’s easily one of my most-played games, right up there with The Sims 4 and Skyrim, considering how many hours I’ve put into it. However, even after all that time, I haven’t achieved some of the game’s biggest accomplishments. To celebrate 10 years of Stardew Valley, I’m reflecting on the game’s impact and sharing a list of everything I still haven’t done in this charming pixel art farming sim.

You can now discover a new type of incredibly rare gear! Pearlescent Gear has a unique ability: it deals damage from two different elements.

The trailer showcases Tommy and his family’s business, which is about to get a major overhaul.

If you haven’t heard about it yet, this is a cooperative side-scrolling game set in the fictional City of Numbers. The name is a bit of a twist, as the city is home to the last of humanity, who are being attacked by a mysterious shadow. Only you and a team of heroes called the Aces can fight it. These Aces each have unique abilities and roles, so you can find one that fits how you like to play. You can try them all out in the Belfry, which serves as the game’s main hub.

In this game, you play as Samson, who returns to Tyndalston to pay off a large debt. But the debt grows over time, and the city’s reaction to your choices makes things increasingly difficult. Each day, you have a limited number of actions you can take, and your decisions have lasting consequences.

If you grew up in the ’80s or ’90s, the phrase “after school special” probably brings back strong memories. While ABC’s were the most well-known, CBS, NBC, and cable channels all created similar shows. These episodes, typically around 40 minutes long, tackled tough topics for kids and teens – things like fitting in, family problems, and teenage pregnancy – and always made a clear point about right and wrong. Many featured actors who became famous later on, and while some episodes were enjoyable, others weren’t so great. Some were cheesy and strange, and a few were genuinely disturbing. But it’s those memorable, and sometimes baffling, specials that we still remember today – including one that we still don’t fully understand.
