On July 6, Pragmatic Play, a flagship slot provider with 80+ HTML 5 titles for mobile and desktop computers based in Silema, Malta, released Power of Merlin Megaways™, a magic-themed slot featuring the story of Arthur’s counselor and magician.

In addition, the provider’s previous similar hits include: Hellvis Wild™, Spellbinding Mystery™ and Wisdom of Athena™.

How to complete the Zombies easter eggs in Black Ops 6

It wouldn’t be a Call of Duty: Black Ops game without Zombies, now, would it? And it wouldn’t be Zombies without an incredibly well-hidden and complex easter egg that reveals the true story of each map. Though they were solved remarkably quickly, the Black Ops 6 Zombies easter eggs are among the most long-winded and challenging.

Zombies is far different from multiplayer, though you’ll be pleased to hear that your weapon progression and other unlocks carry over into Zombies. This means you can start both Liberty Falls and Terminus armed to the teeth. It will certainly help in the early stages of the easter egg but it will still be far from easy. To save you the trouble of figuring them out for yourself, here’s how to beat the Liberty Falls and Terminus main easter eggs.

Black Ops 6 Liberty Falls easter egg guide

You will need to take out zombies and progress through the map as usual until you unlock the church/Dark Aether, which contains the Pack-a-Punch machine. Once there, interact with the strange machine to the right of the main door known as the SDG Generator. There’s no prompt but w…

Abiotic Factor’s first major update adds alien cheese and corpse bags, as the Half-Life inspired survival sim sells 250,000 copies-

Do you ever think about how a game smells? I’m not talking about, say, the smell of the manual (back in the days when games had manuals). I mean what the game world might smell like if you could inhale its atmosphere. A few of the more putrid areas of FromSoft games, like Dark Souls’ Blighttown, have got me wondering about how badly it might whiff. But it isn’t something I consider especially often.

After reading through the patch notes of Abiotic Factor’s first update, however, I can think of little else other than how much the GATE Cascade Research Facility must reek like Beelzebub’s socks. This is mainly thanks to two additions the update makes to Deep Field Games’ Half-Life inspired survival sim, namely alien cheese and corpse bags.

Fittingly titled the ‘First Week’ update, the headline feature is actually rather scentless, craftable walkie-talkies. As detailed in the patch’s announcement, Abiotic Factor has a realistic proximity chat system, but no global chat. The walkie talkie fills this role, letting any player who makes one chat with any other player who makes one, regardless of how far away they are.

“We kept the recipe pretty light so you can communi…
