The Scaredycast Goes #GamingForHouston!
Our good friends from The Scaredycast will launch #GamingForHouston this Sunday, September 3rd. These horror loving podcasters will be doing a nonstop live video game stream all day Sunday with links set up for viewers to donate to help those affected by Hurricane Harvey. The lovable bunch has a full day of video games and Scaredycast hijinks planned with all proceeds set to benefit a wonderful cause.
The stream will take place at Twitch.tv/Scaredycast. The start time is still to be determined so be sure to follow Scaredycast on Twitter and Facebook to be notified when the crew goes live.
100% of the proceeds will go towards the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund, which was set up by the Greater Houston Community Foundation.
What better way to spend a Sunday than by watching some good dudes play games and helping a good cause?
If you don’t listen to them already, be sure to put the Scaredycast into your regular podcast rotation. They release a new episode every week and touch on all things horror!
Bloober Team has released a new developer diary for the upcoming Cronos: Lazarus DLC for Cronos: The New Dawn. Titled “Becoming the Warden,” the video features members of the dev team chatting it up about (obviously) The Warden, who unlike The Traveler in the main game, will focus more on faster, more aggressive action.
“We came back on the setting of Cronos because we wanted players to experience this super strong character,” says Game Design Director Marc Albinet. “The second reason was that we also wanted to provide a different flavor, a different taste of the original game.”
The DLC also puts greater emphasis on the more “emotional” human side of the story, where players learn of the cost of going up against The Collective. Cronos: Lazarus sees The Warden isolated in the Terminal and severed from the Collective, where he devotes every waking moment to awakening a lost Essence he refuses to let fade. However, his sanctuary, has been compromised. A new kind of hunter has been deployed with one directive: to find and eliminate him.
Scarred and broken by a lifetime of survival in the wasteland, The Warden is not at full strength, but even in his damaged state, he retains the ability to move fast, strike hard and survive against mounting pressure. In addition to being able to deploy a decoy to distract foes and being able to turn invisible to strike against distracted foes, The Warden can also teleport, which fits with the more aggressive playstyle of the DLC. He also has a souped-up version of the Dagger PS-3713 in the Gladius.
Cronos: Lazarus is slated to launch later this fall for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, the PlayStation 5, the Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch 2.
