The Elgato Facecam slots right into the middle of the company’s selection of video input devices. At 1080p 60 fps, it’s significantly more high quality than the webcam app that allows users to turn any mobile device into a webcam, but it’s not at the top of the spectrum like the 4K Cam Link, which allows content creators to use multiple DLSR cameras as input devices/webcams. Rather, the Elgato Facecam is a high-quality webcam that delivers a clear picture and supports a ton of customization....

Other than all that, of course, the Tarnished will be adventuring in a whole new world, filled with fresh stories to explore. Those who are feeling daring can even play Elden Ring without the assistance of their maiden. Although, these people may also be the reason why Bloodstains are thriving in Elden Ring.

Under Hidetaka Miyazaki’s leadership, FromSoftware tends to focus more on new IPs and upcoming titles than reiterating with sequels. This plays some role, likely, in how FromSoftware’s development cycle, where it typically has about two different games in various stages of development at once. Dark Souls 2, Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3, Sekiro—their release dates (2014, 2015, 2016, and 2019) all show how this is done. While it seems there’s always something cooking at FromSoftware, the company may be looking to take it up a notch....

The game responsible for countless all-night play sessions by millions of gamers worldwide throughout 2022, Elden Ring is FromSoftware’s latest entry into the soulslike genre it inspired. Carrying over the developer’s trademark punishing-but-fair combat to an open-world setting, Elden Ring became a massive critical and commercial success when it was released for PC and consoles earlier this year. Gamers drawing inspiration from the surreal and dreamlike world of the Lands Between have produced some incredible fan tributes since Elden Ring’s release, from intricate costumes to an impressive mixed media painting of Melania the Goddess of Rot, but these Dreams creations are some of the best yet....

Besides leveling up their characters, Elden Ring players can also upgrade their weapons to make them more potent. However, gamers need key upgrade material called Smithing Stones and Somber Smithing Stones. Somber Smithing Stones are more valuable as they’re used to upgrade unique weapons like the Lion’s Greatbow, Bloodhound’s Fang, Bolt of Gransax, and Wing of Astel. These are rarely found in the Lands Between, let alone in the real world, but luckily one Elden Ring fan has found a replica....

Moreover, the action RPG is particularly famous for its massive open world with several breathtaking locations like castles, dungeons, mountains, forests, and much more. The Elden Ring map is divided into regions like Caelid, Altus Plateau, Mountaintops of the Giants, Weeping Peninsula, etc. Gamers spend hours exploring these areas, where they encounter many enemies and bosses.

On one hand, there is a rabid fanbase that is used to excruciating punishment of the Dark Souls franchise, which regularly heralds its brutal gameplay and unrelenting difficulty as keystones of play. On the other hand, Elden Ring has the likes George R. R. Martin (whose part is probably done) and Hidetaka Miyazaki working on it, and all parties are eager to not murmur a word until they’re good and ready to make a grandiose reveal....

While Elden Ring excels in giving players beautiful environments, dynamic combat, and memorable characters, players are giving back with over-the-top mods with effects like turning Tree Sentinel’s horse into Thomas the Tank Engine. From estus flasks being reskinned as Sunny D in Dark Souls to more risque ninja attire in Sekiro, joke mods have long been a part of FromSoft’s PC releases, and all signs point to mod creators delivering plenty of irreverent content in Elden Ring that turns a serious game into a hodgepodge of memes....

Skyrim is, by no means, a perfect game. It was incredibly bugged at launch, although not to a broken extent, and anyone can pick out a few more flaws on top of that. However, what Skyrim has is character and that character has influenced the past decade of decision-making in video games. Many games have tried to be the next Skyrim, to have that same sort of impact, but even that idea is daunting for The Elder Scrolls 6, its sequel....

Margit, the Fell Omen is such a significant challenge, in fact, that some players have expressed their frustration with the character. Indeed, Margit is not meant to be fought right away, even though players are led to him early on. Instead, gamers are intended to die in the fight and then explore Elden Ring’s rich world to gain power and levels. The preparation for the battle includes players leveling up a few times and upgrading their weapons to +2 or +3....

Outside these rare safe areas nearly every humanoid, animal and even some plants will immediately attack the player if they get too close. It is rare that any of these enemies will attack each other instead of the player character, apart from some instances when there is usually a lore reason, such as in the War-Dead Catacombs.

The Lands Between is far from a bastion of morality, with Tarnished first introduced to the world of Elden Ring by an artistic montage that depicts successive acts of betrayal, murder, and war. Traversing the hostile, war-torn environments that are littered with ruins and signs of a once better time, players are known to find solace in the characters that behave kindly towards them. Dark Souls perfectly encapsulates this world-building approach that is now so synonymous with FromSoftware....

The game takes place in a realm called the Lands Between, after the titular Elden Ring has been destroyed and its pieces scattered. When the Ring broke, so did the world. Though many have tried, none have proven powerful enough to rebuild the land, and so a stalemate exists between the warring inhabitants. The player is Tarnished, a person who lost the grace of the Erdtree and was banished from the Lands Between....

The atmosphere first builds with the introduction to the dark and mysterious Volcano Manor, with hints for how to win the fight being given to the player while progressing through the questline. However, where Rykard really shines is the way that Elden Ring alludes to previous fights against giant bosses while evolving the format of an iconic weapon from all the way back in Demon’s Souls.

With a variety of classes being teased and revealed by FromSoftware recently, the Samurai class is undoubtedly one of the most eye-catching and dynamic ones that will be available to play in Elden Ring. RELATED: Elden Ring PC Requirements Revealed The Samurai Class One of the ten classes in Elden Ring that will be available for players at launch is the Samurai Class. With FromSoftware incrementally revealing the classes, such as the Bandit and the Astrologer classes for Elden Ring, fans are starting to gain a better idea of what the class systems will be like and how they will complement gameplay....

To access gestures in Elden Ring, players have to first press the menu button. This brings up a drop-down list of their equipment, crafting list, inventory, player stats, messages, and multiplayer options. It is from this drop-down list that they then have to sift all the way to an isolated section at the bottom right of the screen to choose from one of six of their assigned gestures - a process that should not be nearly as time-consuming as it is....

Sedalia Police arrested Dennis Weaver, 62, after he crashed his truck into the front of the Wendy’s restaurant on Monday. One woman, Carol Barnes, 81, died in the crash. Her husband, Donald Barnes, 85, a retired local judge, was injured and taken to University Hospital in Columbia, where he is reported to be in intensive care. KMBC reported that among those hurt is a 10-year-old with moderate injuries, two adults with minor injuries, and another adult who sought his own treatment....

The electric eel—which is not a true eel, but rather a South American knifefish—can generate pulses of electricity it pushes through water to shock prey and defend itself. The ability of animals to produce electricity is known as bioelectrogenesis. Other species known to possess this ability include certain catfish, stargazers and rays. The electric eel, however, generates the biggest voltage—around 650 volts. In the study, Santana and colleagues looked at the morphology of the electric eels collected, performed an analysis of their DNA and examined their geographical and ecological distributions....

The Rochester Beacon was first to report about the decision made by officials at Council Rock Primary School, a kindergarten through second-grade school that is part of Brighton Central Schools in Rochester, New York. In a message to members of the Brighton Central Schools community and shared with Newsweek on Tuesday, Superintendent of Schools Kevin McGowan provided context for the school’s decision. He said the district “couldn’t be more proud of our staff and the work they continue to do to reflect on what they teach and how they teach in an ongoing effort to be more culturally responsive, thoughtful, and inclusive....
