Warframe’s ‘Old Peace’ Update Inspired by WWI

36+ min ago (246+ words) The origin of The Old Peace was the result of Digital Extremes" CEO Steve Sinclair, who wrote "Trench Warframe" on a whiteboard. Warframe creative director Rebecca Ford told PCGamer that the possibilities were essentially hard to ignore. "A particular inspiration," Ford said to PCGamer, "was the Angels of Mons'a phenomenon reported during World War I in which soldiers alleged their units were miraculously aided by phantom bowmen or angelic warriors." "A Warframe entering a field of battle would feel like the Angel of Mons for a given battalion," Ford said. "I"m not saying that this is a textbook World War I homage, but it"s very much the feel.

MTG’s Monster Hunter Secret Lair Reveal Goes Back to the Drawing Board

36+ min ago (276+ words) Secret Lair drops are supposed to be slick, limited'edition showcases: bold art, clever card choices, and a sense of celebration. Instead, the Monster Hunter set sparked confusion. Fans were not too kinds when they labeled everything that was wrong with the cards. With a crossover of this scale? What should have been a hype moment turned into a collective shrug'and in some corners, outright frustration. In a rare move, Wizards admitted the reveal didn't land.
