The nominations are in and the finalists have been officially selected for the 2013 Canadian Videogame Awards. This year, the fifth for the relatively young award ceremony, is quite a bit different. Reboot Communications and EP Media are moving the show this year from Vancouver FanExpo, where it’s traditionally been held, to Toronto but recently delayed the production to the fall where the 2013 awards will be announced alongside (but separately from) the 2014 awards as w
Red Dead Redemption 2 hasn’t been out on PC for very long, but the modding community hasn’t wasted any time cracking the game open to create some good content. It will be interesting to see what they come up with in a Lunar New Year Collection‘s time, but they’re off to a good start, alre
Wendy is haunted by her dead twin sister, Abigail. Obsessed with her to the point of talking to her frequently, Wendy can summon Abigail’s ghost to fight alongside her in combat. This is helpful in beating mobs of monsters and keeping Wendy safe. But why is Wendy so obsessed with her late sister and unable to move on? The text from the loading screen involving Wendy states that she “clings fiercely to the grief over her sister’s death” because she’s afraid that moving on would make her forget Abigail. That makes her depressing character seem less weird, but certainly sad
It would be a travesty to not include a recipe from the games only playable chef, Warly. Fresh Fruit Crepes can only be crafted with Warly’s Portable Crock Pot, which is exclusive to him. It requires a fruit value of 1.5, butter and honey. This can make it a tricky recipe to make but it is definitely worth
No sense making a business out of pelt and animal gathering if you don’t have the right vehicle for transport. Hunting Wagon introduces a scripted system that spawns at your camp, and can be tracked via radar or

From the game’s flavor texts and dialogue, it becomes clear that Wolfgang , otherwise known as The Strongman, has done a lot of things in his time. He is said to have been a member of a “troupe,” which sure sounds like a circus troupe. Plus, one of his skins is called the “Circus Rose Atti
Think about it, very few games allow players the chance to start fights in salons or rob trains. There are also ways to hunt on the frontier. Letting players live out the fantasy of being a mountain man. It’s unlike anything e
Aside from being a king, Wilbur is still your average monkey. He loves bananas, and will even gain 10 Sanity Points from eating them. He can’t speak and uses several variations of monkey gibberish to talk throughout the game. But, if you examine bananas when playing as Wilbur, he will cry “Nanas!” His love of bananas is so great, it grants him the power of human speech. Who would have thought bananas were such powerful things? They can also be used to recruit other prime apes to be your followers. All you gotta do it give them bananas. Perhaps they can now speak limited English,
Woodie is one of two characters that can change their form; if he chops down too many trees too quickly, or if the moon is full, he will become a “Werebeaver.” But this form is more useful than you might think. The sanity, health, and hunger meters disappear when Woodie is in his Werebeaver form, meaning that effectively if he were to stay in that form, he could survive indefinitely. He wouldn’t even need food or items to help heal him — he could simply live forever. But beware, the “naughtiness” score still applies and Krampus can still come after
There are very few games that take place in a western setting and Red Dead Redemption II is easily the best there is. The massive landscape is ripe for exploration on horseback and the idea of role-playing as a cowboy is the biggest thrill of any game in the past dec
For a little more excitement during gunfire battles and other fights, PED Damage Overhaul is the one to choose. This mod alters the behavior of NPCs to make them more realistic. They will stumble if their leg is injured, roll around in agony after being hurt, and clutching any open wou
The characters of Don’t Starve all have instruments for voices when they speak, and Wilba is no exception. Her instrument is pretty special – it’s an ocarina. The Legend of Zelda fans will no doubt be thinking of Ocarina of Time , a popular Zelda game famed for its little blue ocarina that allows the protagonist to travel to different places and times. As a pig princess, is Wilba perhaps linked to Princess Zelda from Ocarina of Time ? While she speaks in musical tones like everyone else, she also oinks when she’s done speak
The recipe to create this item is simple: you need a dragon fruit and anything else except meat. The simplest and most efficient thing to do is to gather some twigs and fill the rest of the crock pot with them. Getting the dragon fruit can be a little trickier because they’re not all that easy to find. Once you do find one, though, you can feed it to a capture bird to get seeds and plant t
