The Knurl Blog- Ready For The Future

  Just look at this picture of Portal. Just… look at it. Finally – an official way of bringing these games into the modern era, and it’s shocking how well it works. And even more exciting, this will be part of a free tool which modders will be able to use to make other previously unmoddable games look just as good. I’m skeptical of just how well that will work – the proof is in the pudding – but for now it’s nice marketing idea, and it means we get this very pretty mod/DLC for Portal . Graphics aren’t everything – I said just that with the Last of Us Remaster . But there are lots of older games that could do with a spruce up. And if they’re available for free, if they can be quickly and painlessly upgraded, and if they’re open to everybody, there’s absolutely no downside in these improvements. They will bring someone in who wouldn’t otherwise have played. Reviving the Classics So even as only a visual update, there could be bigger implications for these games. Another title s...

  Gameplay At the start of Hokko Life, you create a character and move into a small town with animals. Hokko Life is a combination of Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon. Time/seasons move quickly like Harvest Moon, but doing favors for the animals, crafting stuff, and decorating your house/town are straight out of Animal Crossing. Hokko Life features more places to go though than Animal Crossing: you can go to a small town center, a city, a mine, and more. Just like Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon, fishing is available and its pretty good. Its not as simple as Animal Crossing but if you enjoy fishing in games, then you’ll enjoy this. Mining and catching bugs is fun too. The most unique part of Hokko Life is its user generated content though. Your town features a workshop. In the workshop, you can craft basic different items to place in your town, put in your house, or share with the animals (items can be bought too at the local store). And you also can create items from scratch!...

  If you are enjoying the Iron Man movie series, then there is no reason that you will not like Iron Man 2 video slot online. There is a compelling thought that Iron Man 2 was not as impressive as the original Iron Man, but the video slots are the opposite; the new version is an improvement in almost all respects over its predecessor. This is another development of the Playtech company , this automatically means that game has great graphics, sounds and gameplay; Iron Man 2 has five reels and twenty-five paylines. However, the main reason to play this wonderful video slot is the topic of Marvel comics. The symbols are all related to the story of the Iron Man 2. Among top payout symbols we can see Tony Stark, his lighting assistant Pepper Potts, archaic enemy Ivan Venko, and many others. The Iron Man 2 video slot is one of the few games with the feature of “stacked” Wilds; these are just symbols that cover more than one vertical space on the reels, giving you improved odds for win...

  We’ve seen 4k/60fps, we’ve seen raytraced lighting and ridiculously pretty textures – but if you believe the chatter on forums, we still haven’t seen next-gen. Why? Because armchair experts and fanboys would rather water down the medium with bitching than spend even a second getting excited. It’s happened all over again with the Xbox conference this week. The most rabid in our community have declared it ‘Not Next-Gen’ and so the question is: what even is next-gen? The answer will upset some people. Next-Gen and the art of disappointment Microsoft are correct when they talk about generations being watered down. Gone are the days where your first look at a next-gen game is the most impressive thing you’ve ever seen. You’ll never have another Sonic Adventure moment. You’re never going to stare, open-mouthed, analysing trailers just for the enjoyment of seeing them again. And the reason is simple: because PCs exist. You can froth at the mouth, talking about the magic of the SSD...

  Mic boom arms are essentially used to bring the microphone closer to your mouth when recording podcasts, streaming games, or even for when you are on important business calls. It will generally allow users to more comfortably sit in their chairs, reducing the need to lean forward and over to speak into a microphone positioned on a desk. I’ve had boom arms in the past which have been incredibly unreliable and flimsy, and thankfully, this one from Tonor doesn’t create those same problems. The arm itself secures to the side of your desk using a c-clamp style holder. When spun all the way in, the mount is very secure, and while it did require some tightening every few days to maintain that strong foundation, it’s what you would expect with most arms that aren’t directly mounted to a service using screws or brackets. Having that option with this arm would have been a great additional feature, but even without it, it’s still more than serviceable. The T20 has two movable sections t...

  I sent out a tweet last last week regarding the stupidity of console wars, and how each of the big three companies – Nintendo, Sony, and MIcrosoft – are hitting different chimes with their foray into new consoles and experiences. I’ve copied that tweet below: It’s not console war crap, it is just really the truth: 1. Switch is most accessible and family friendly.2. Xbox has good games, and is the most consumer friendly.3. Sony arguably has the best exclusives. All are great. All bring something different. RT if you agree! — Adam Roffel (@AdamRoffel) July 24, 2020 Nintendo is the most family friendly – it is hard not to be with mega hits like Mario and Yoshi backing your system up, let alone the fantastic party games they release. Sony, overall, is hitting fans with some of the best single player experiences, although they are a bit light on exclusive shooters. What about Microsoft? Well Microsoft has what might be the best cards to hold during a global pandemic, when unemp...

Playing blackjack doesn’t need to pay attention to the suit of cards, and just need to care about the numbers on the cards. The numbers 2 to 9 on the card are worth their face value; while 10, J, Q, and K all worth 10, and A worth 1 or 11. Poker Generally, poker is played to see who has the biggest hand. The winner of each poker game is the player with the biggest hand, when al...

  We are of course talking about Cyberpunk 2077 – arguably the most-awaited and ambitious game to be released in 2020! Here are five reasons to buy Cyberpunk 2077 GoG key and make preparations for the upcoming dystopian adventure teeming with visionary sci-fi themes and 1980s-inspired aesthetic style! Definitive cyberpunk video game The setting of the latest CD Projekt Red game utilizes all the classic tropes of the cyberpunk subgenre. In the past, we have had the chance to play great video games that took us to dystopian futures where cybernetic body modifications are the norm and megacorporations reign supreme – games like Deus Ex, Watch Dogs, Black Light Retribution or Oni. However, no video game by far has come close to capturing the feeling of what it would be like to walk on the neon laden streets seen in Blade Runner, Akira, Ghost in the Shell, or any other of the cyberpunk cinema classics. Cyberpunk 2077 promises to deliver exactly that with its multi-layered and fut...

  The second summer update for Animal Crossing New Horizons is pretty exciting! First of all, the Sunday Fireworks events from previous games are being added in next month. I like that Redd will again have a booth where you can buy stuff. You can also has custom design fireworks like previous games too. But then there are two other exciting additions in the update. Perhaps the most exciting we’ve seen so far. The Dream Mansion will be returning! This was from Animal Crossing New Leaf. The Dream Mansion let you visit other players towns in a dream. Basically you could look around their town, talk to their animals, and get custom designs. You couldn’t effect their town or talk to a real person there. It was a neat way of checking out what other players were doing with their towns. In New Horizons, the Dream Mansion is a bit different though. New Leaf has an actual place where you went to visit the dream towns. With New Horizons, you go to your house and go to sleep. Then you mee...

  Ok, so here is why people hate Venice: You only have 1 city. No settlers. You can only control what is being built in that 1 city. You can’t expand anywhere. They don’t have Unique Unit for battles; only Great Merchant. Now here is why I love Venice: No fuss about where to settle. Double trade routes (amazing for Gold). You can sit back on your gaming chair and adopt policies that make purchases in City States financially viable. You can invest in several Great Merchants to buy city states. The end game is the Diplomatic victory. You have to ally with all city states (provides the majority of votes necessary for Diplomatic victory) and you have to conquer at least 1 capital for additional votes. I play Quick mode on Deity. You can win such a computer game within 200 turns. Just make sure to sit properly all the while doing it – I have the AutoFull pink gaming chair at my back just to help me keep my focus for 6 hours. It has to be said that I’m equally as impressed with ...

  As someone who played the crap out of ARK: Survival Evolved – yes, even the crap version on Nintendo Switch because, you know, it’s portable – I’ve been looking for a new survival experience to play with friends. While many have attempted to enter the space with limited success, I’ve tried just about everything – unfortunately, nothing seemed to stick. When first seeing the reveal trailer for Grounded a number of months back, I instantly noticed the many similarities to my current favourite survival game, ARK, which made the idea if playing Grounded enticing. On top of that all, the game had this awesome, “Honey I Shrunk the Kids” vibe that I was really digging. The problem leading into today’s launch was that I had built Grounded up so much in my head, that it couldn’t possibly live up to expectations. And then it did. I don’t love everything about Grounded – like carrying grass blades to build walls – but even through those moments I didn’t enjoy, the game sparkles. Gorgeous...
