Early into Stardew Valley, Gunther from the Museum will come to you with a request. He tells you that the Museum is lacking when it comes to real artifacts and asks you to donate any rare items you find to him. The Museum functions similar to one in the Animal Crossing games, where you need to donate one of each item to complete the collection. Completing the entire collection will earn you a Stardrop, which permanently increases your max energy.How the museum worksThe Museum is open from 8am to 6pm, except during town festivals. It is located in the southeast corner of town, next to the Blacksmith. Inside is a large collection of books, which is where you can read any lost books you find, and a large display area, where new donations go. To donate an item, speak with Gunther and he will let you place any new donations wherever you want, with the option to move them later.Gunther will also give rewards at certain milestones, including once you donate a total number of certain items, and individual paths for both Artifacts and Minerals. Most of the rewards are nice bonuses, but unimportant, with three exceptions. At 60 items you get the key to the sewers, at 95 items you get a Stardrop, and if you donate all four Dwarvish Scrolls, you get the Dwarvish Translation Guide, which allows you to communicate with Dwarves.Continue Reading at GameSpot

DC has just released the first trailer for its upcoming animated show, Creature Commandos. It will be one of the first projects to come out under James Gunn's leadership and is scheduled to come out later this year in December. Similar to the Suicide Squad, the show will follow a group of villains who will be sent on dangerous missions for the United States government.We now have some more insight on what the show will be about thanks to a trailer that was posted to the official Max YouTube channel. The Creature Commandos will follow Rick Flag as he leads a team of non-human villains which consist of The Bride, Dr. Phosphorus, Weasel, G.I. Robot, Nina Mazursky, and Frankenstein. The team still follows the orders of Amanda Waller but is different from the primarily human Suicide Squad--Waller calls this team Task Force M (the M standing for "monster") instead of Task Force X. Although not much of the overall plot was shown, it appears that Creature Commandos will maintain a lot of the humor that Gunn's other DC projects, such as The Suicide Squad and Peace Maker. Viola Davis will also be reprising her role as Amanda Waller, and the show will also feature David Harbour (Stranger Things), Sean Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy), and Frank Grillo (Captain America: The Winter Soldier).Continue Reading at GameSpot

A live-action TV series based on Sega's Yakuza and Like a Dragon video games will begin airing on October 25, and at San Diego Comic-Con, more casting details for the show were revealed. Japanese actor and model Ryoma Takeuchi's casting as Kazuma Kiryu, the legendary Dragon of Dojima, was first revealed in June, and he'll be joined by Kento Kaku as Akira Nishikiyama.Kento Kaku in Netflix's House of NinjasIn the Like a Dragon game series, Nishikiyama grew up with Kazuma in an orphanage and was one of his greatest allies before the events of the first Yakuza game. A complicated character, Nishikiyama murders the patriarch of the Dojima family, Sohei Dojima, to prevent him from sexually assaulting his close friend Yumi Sawamura in Yakuza. Kazuma would willingly take the blame for Dojima's murder and serve a 10-year jail sentence in his place, and upon his release, found that his sworn brother had radically changed in the last decade, putting the two on a collision course.Kaku made his acting debut in 2007, and since then, has built up several credits in TV and film projects. His latest lead role is in House of Ninjas on Netflix, a series about a family of ninjas who used to work for the government and are descended from Hattori Hanzo, a legendary shinobi.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Best VR headset Meta Quest 3 See 128GB model at Amazon See 512GB model at Amazon Best high-end PC VR headset Valve Index See at Steam Best standalone high-end VR headset Meta Quest Pro See at Amazon Best display HTC Vive Pro 2 See at Amazon Best VR headset for PS5 PSVR 2 See at Amazon Best VR headset for PS4 PlayStation VR See at Amazon See refurbished options at GameStop Best affordable headset Meta Quest 2 See at Amazon There's no shortage of great VR headsets to pick from in 2024. For us, the Meta Quest 3 offers the perfect balance of price and power along with a streamlined all-in-one design to make it our go-to recommendation for the best VR headset, but there are plenty of other worthwhile options. Some leverage the power of gaming PCs or consoles for better performance and visual fidelity. Others might be even more affordable. Whatever you're looking for, there's a VR headset out there for you. So, to help you find the perfect fit, we've put together this list of the best VR headsets available in 2024.Finding the best VR headset for youThe first thing that's important to know before buying a VR headset is that some VR games are exclusive to specific headsets. Meta and both PlayStation headsets have their own storefronts that offer unique games, unavailable to HTC, Valve, and other companies' headsets. Of course, you can still get an impressive experience with the Valve Index or HTC Vive line of headsets, especially considering the great library of VR games on Steam. Each VR headset has its advantages and unique qualities, such as high resolutions, AMOLED displays, and built-in speakers.The Meta Quest 3 is a powerful mobile VR headset that gives you great experiences without connecting to a PC--no sensors required (though you can, if you so choose). The Valve Index requires you to connect to a PC and use sensors, but it also provides the most high-end VR experience available today. And, of course, there's the PSVR 2, which has the benefit of being compatible with Sony's first-party lineup of VR games. Keep in mind the original PSVR has its own library of games separate from the PSVR 2. You cannot play original PSVR games on PSVR 2 unless the developer releases an upgraded version. Each headset has its unique features and benefits, so you'll need to decide which one is the best for you, based on your price range.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Credit: Jay Maidment/20th Century StudiosHeads up: We'll be discussing some key plot spoilers for Deadpool & Wolverine in this article. Deadpool & Wolverine is the latest of a number of multiversal comic book movies and shows to pop up in recent years, and if Deadpool is crossing the multiverse, then it only makes sense for him to run into some of the many other versions of Deadpool that exist in the Marvel Comics stories, among the many cameos that this film has in store. It's an encounter that's been teased by the marketing, which has shown off Dogpool and Lady Deadpool, but there are plenty of others here as well.But these folks aren't together incidentally--they're the Deadpool Corps! What with Deadpool being essentially an in-universe parody of other Marvel heroes, it only makes sense that he would have his own sort of multiversal group like the Spider Society [link probably] that we saw in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Like the Spider Society, the Deadpool Corps consists of alternate versions of Deadpool that are frequently extremely different from the main one.With Spider-Verse being animated, they were able to get really wacky with it and choose extra zany spider-folks like Peter Parkedcar, who's literally a sentient car with spider powers. With Deadpool & Wolverine being a live-action film, by contrast, the ones we see here are all at least human. But they're certainly not all Ryan Reynolds.The Deadpool Corps were introduced in 2010, during a 12-issue storyline in which they're tasked with dealing with a cosmic entity from before the Big Bang called the Awareness. This entity absorbs the consciousness of anything it comes in contact with, and the Elders of the Universe, like the Grandmaster, are unable to stop it. But the Deadpool Corps--because they're so weird and unhinged--aren't affected by it, allowing them to get closer to it than anyone else in the multiverse. And just for fun, there's also a bad version of this group in the comics aptly called the Evil Deadpool Corps--which was founded by a pile of Deadpool's discarded body parts that fused together in a dumpster thanks to his regenerative healing factor.The Deadpool Corps of Deadpool & Wolverine don't have all that going on, though--like most everybody else from the Void, they just work for Cassandra. Which means our heroes have to fight them, making for a delightfully violent mess and a true highlight of the film.Now, let's go through the Deadpool Corps members we met in Deadpool & Wolverine. DogpoolIn the comics, this little guy was an animal test subject for a cosmetics company--until they tested a new, advanced kind of mascara on him that gave him his regenerative healing. Lady DeadpoolThis gender-swapped Deadpool is Wanda Wilson, and in the comics her chief nemesis is General America, a fascist version of Steve Rogers--but don't worry, she's just as annoying as the main one. In Deadpool & Wolverine she's voiced by Blake Lively, who's married to Ryan Reynolds. HeadpoolThis Deadpool comes from a universe with a zombie plague, which he was infected by before his body was destroyed. This adolescent version of Deadpool was raised at Professor X's orphanage as a child alongside the future X-Men. But even though he's a kid, he's still Wade Wilson--meaning he was extremely annoying and was always getting in fights because of it. And, just for fun, Kidpool wields a pair of lightsabers in the comics for some reason. New, original DeadpoolsAmong this mob of Deadpools are a few that have been invented for this movie. Specifically: Nicepool, Babypool, the Deadpool wearing a kilt, the Deadpool wearing a tricorn hat, and the Deadpool wearing the Welsh flag on his chest, which is presumably a reference to Wrexham FC, the Welsh soccer club that Ryan Reynolds co-owns.But the only one of these to get much play here is Nicepool--he's just a nice guy, but he ends up dying from a huge number of gunshot wounds because he's the only Deadpool without regenerative healing. Which makes you wonder how he became a Deadpool, but that's a question we could also ask about the baby. Cowboy DeadpoolWhile he's listed as "Cowboy Deadpool" in the credits, in the comics he's called The Deadpool Kid (presumably this was changed to differentiate him from Kidpool). After the main Deadpool shoots him in the head, The Deadpool Kid joins up with the Evil Deadpool Corps and becomes a baddie. In Deadpool & Wolverine, this Deadpool is voiced by Matthew McConaughey. ZenpoolThis mysterious and hooded version of Deadpool actually wasn't a variant in the comics, but rather a persona that Deadpool adopted after he was affected by an inversion spell cast by Wanda Maximoff that turned him into a pacifist--in the film, he fights only by shooting darts. The FoolThis Japanese Deadpool, named Watari, is a ronin who wears a conical sun hat. Deadpool 2099The very coolest of all the Deadpools is not a variant of Wade Wilson, but rather is his daughter, Warda Wilson, which he had with his ex-wife Shiklah, queen of the underworld.
