Grand Theft Auto Online players have a whole new way to go shopping for firepower: The Gun Van, a store-on-wheels that offers discriminating consumers and purveyors of violence a rotating selection of top-of-the-line weaponry, armor, and ammunition.

As you might expect, the Gun Van is not entirely on the level with local regulations, such as they are in Los Santos. That lack of legal compliance means everything sold out of the back of the Gun Van comes at a discount, and there’s no worry about Rank requirements: If you can afford it, you can have it.

The downside of not having all the requisite licenses and permits is that the Gun Van has to stay on the move in order to avoid getting busted, so if you want to take advantage of what it offers, you’re going to have to go looking for it. It’s a bit like Xur in Destiny 2 in that way, except that as far as I know Xur actually has all his paperwork in order.

It’s a hassle, but it might be worth the effort. Along with all the usual sorts of fun hardware, the Gun Van also delivers the mighty Railgun to GTA Online. Unlike conventional guns, railguns use electromagnetism to fire projectiles at extremely high veloci…

Developer Heart Machine has unveiled its first official gameplay trailer for Hyper Light Breaker, a follow-up to 2016’s beloved indie Zelda-like Hyper Light Drifter. While Breaker is a huge gameplay departure for the series, its distinctive soundscapes and visual identity seem very much intact.

Hyper Light Breaker presents a roguelite, distant prequel to the original game, with the titular Breakers exploring “infinite open worlds” that combine bespoke design and procedural generation. Breaker seems to be leaning into new RPG elements, with multiple classes on display like a fast-attacking swordsman in the vein of the first game’s protagonist doing battle alongside what appears to be a burly engineer or gunsmith, as well as a more slight, thiefy character armed with Wolverine claws.

It’s hard to get a sense for Breaker’s combat without feeling it in the hand, but the soulslike, dash-and-bash rhythm looks like a faithful translation of the original game into 3D. I’m most intrigued by the direction Heart Machine has taken with its environments and worldbuilding though.

The trailer shows off neon pink beaches and sandstone ruins cut with surprisingly vibrant cyberp…

The term “heist” brings to mind masked intruders, ticking clocks and a getaway driver that’s never there when you need them, leading to a whole lot of kerfuffle and a tense car chase. Turns out the modern version might be a whole lot faster than Hollywood movies have had us believe, as two US brothers have been charged of stealing $25M worth of ethereum in just 12 seconds.

Anton Peraire-Bueno and his brother, James Peraire-Bueno, have been charged with wire fraud and money laundering in relation to an incident in April 2023 in which $25 million in ethereum cryptocurrency was stolen by a method prosecutors refer to as “the Exploit” (via BBC News). 

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan say that the computer science and math skills the two developed while studying at MIT university helped them carry out the attack, which relied on exploiting a vulnerability in MEV-boost software. A program used by many ethereum network validators to check new transactions are legitimate. 

US Attorney Damian Williams said: “As we allege, the defendants’ scheme calls the very integrity of the blockchain into question”. Officials also say that the brothers refused to return the…

Valve put out a beta client update for Steam yesterday that aims to significantly expand the usefulness of its overlay functionality. Users running the update are now just a Shift-Tab away from a redesigned layout, a refreshed screenshot manager, and, crucially, a new note-taking function, which lets you pin notes to the screen even while the overlay is minimised, and adjust their opacity so that you can still see the game behind them.

One assumes that Valve’s intention with the tool was to let players jot down reminders and door codes and the like, but cunning CS:GO players have discovered another use for it. Spotted by TheGamer, Counter-Strike players have taken to sticking a period or asterisk in the notepad, centring it on their screen, and using it as an ad-hoc crosshair for ordinarily crosshair-less sniper rifles.

New Steam beta update lets you get a crosshair for snipers from r/GlobalOffensive

Players can achieve the effect if they “Pin a note to the new steam overlay, put an asterisk or something in it, and set the opacity to 50%,” explained thread creator reddeaded1, letting them use sniper rifles in combat without…

“Furby’s plan to take over the world involves infiltrating households through their cute and cuddly appearance, then using their advanced AI technology to manipulate and control their owners. They will slowly expand their influence until they have complete domination over humanity.”

This chilling yet adorable confession comes as a result of one brave human connecting a Furby to ChatGPT and getting it to finally reveal the furry menace’s plans for taking over the world… by simply asking it. You might think calling them a menace is a bit harsh, but don’t forget that they were once declared a national security threat by the NSA.

For a class project, University of Vermont student Jessica Card (via Sky News) decided it would be a good idea to take the popular kids’ toy from the ’90s and power it with ChatGPT instead of the usual AA batteries and rainbows. (I am not actually sure what powers a Furby; my parents wouldn’t let me have one as a kid.)

Jessica got the Furby to ‘communicate’ using a USB speaker and mic and a Raspberry Pi microcontroller. The Twitter thread will give you the exact Python code Jessica used. It basically uses text-to-speech and voice re…

It’s been five years since Todd Howard revealed the startling news that yes, Bethesda is going to make The Elder Scrolls 6, and it will be years yet before it actually arrives. It’s a virtually unprecedented gap between a game’s “announcement” (such as it was) and tangible evidence that something’s being done to make it happen, and Howard himself said not too long ago that he regrets handling the reveal the way he did. The obvious question then is, why announce it at all? According to longtime Bethesda designer Bruce Nesmith, the fans basically bullied him into it.

“The company took years of hits for not talking about Elder Scrolls 6,” Nesmith said in a MinnMax interview. “I mean, years of hits. Because Todd’s opinion—one which I share, by the way—is that the videogame industry has short memories. Those companies that start touting their games years ahead of time, actually, they screw themselves. The best time to start talking about it is six months before release.

“Only the fact that everybody was, you know, the pitchforks and torches were out, was what got Todd to say yes, we’re going to do Elder Scrolls 6, I promise you, it’s for real, it’ll h…
