Twitch Streamer Plays Elden Ring Using Only Her Brain

January 24, 2023Kotaku

When you tune into Twitch streamer Perrikaryal’s channel, you might see her playing FromSoftware’s role-playing game epic Elden Ring with fourteen, unfamiliar black sensors stuck to her scalp. It’s her—as she said during an informational stream earlier today—“just for fun” electroencephalogram (EEG) device, something researchers use to record the brain’s electrical activity, which she’s repurposed to let her play Elden Ring hands-free.

December 6, 2022Kotaku

29-year-old Kaitlyn Siragusa, who variety streams on Twitch as Amouranth, has not had an easy year. She pushed her offline extracurriculars, buying an inflatable pool company and building her investments, but her public life got overshadowed by her brutally candid disclosure that she was in an abusive marriage, and looking to get out. Now out, and feeling like “life is better,” Amouranth is free to work how she wants and reap the benefits without fear—including recently, when an anonymous donor sent her $70,000 in cash, which currently lives safely in her bank account.

November 14, 2022Kotaku

The Aztecs had spiritual ballgames, games with physical displays of devotion and a struggle for collective triumph that remains central to our notions of sport. In the 3,000 years since, we’ve streamlined these fundamental concepts into FIFA 23 and beer pong. But I’m not complaining. I think it’s time for our definition of serious games to change.

Pokemon Unite is way better than it has any right being

July 25, 2021VG247

Pokemon Unite is a barnstormer right out of the gate. Watch on YouTubeThe world of Pokemon has been applied to many genres of video game, but I think it’s pretty fair to say that only a handful of them have been runaway successes. There’s the original turn-based RPGs, of course. There’s the photography simulation of Snap, and the augmented reality adventures of Pokemon Go. These aren’t just successes, but in most cases are also milestone titles – but for every game like this, there’s something that’s just sorta fine – puzzlers, fighting, and a slew of mobile money-spinners.

In Pokemon Go, Pokemon Eggs are rewarded randomly to the player through visiting Pokestops throughout the world or being given gifts by your friends. Hatching eggs is a great way to farm candy and actually has a good chance of providing better Pokemon with better stats than you might find out in the wild. Some of the rarer, best Pokemon in Pokemon Go are most easily obtained through hatching…

Pokemon Go Wurmple Evolution: how to evolve Wurmple into Silcoon, Cascoon, Beautifly and Dustox

March 19, 2021VG247

In the world of Pokemon, the vast majority of creatures evolve in the same way. This varies from game to game, but in Pokemon Go this usually means feeding a certain amount of candy. A handful of Pokemon are different, however – and such is the case for Wurmple.Wurmple isn’t the most exciting of Pokemon – it’s a lowly bug-type Pokemon added in the third generation, a little spiky grub that eventually enters a cocoon form and then becomes something else entirely. However, Wurmple is fairly unique in that you never quite know what you’re going to get when you…
