It’s the day of the week where I promise to stop just saying what day of the week it is at the start of my introductions. Here’s the news.
- Microsoft shoots a man out of a cannon
- Stardew Valley multiplayer
- Tomb Raider teaser gets debunked
Cannon Man
To celebrate the near-launch of their upcoming pirate game, Sea of Thieves, Microsoft shoot a man out of a cannon. You can watch the video of it on their twitter post. David “The Bullet” Smith flew 200 feet through the air onto a giant inflatable cushion. The Guinness World Records even confirmed it to be a new world record for farthest distance of shooting a man out a cannon. Neat.
Stardew Valleys, Plural
According to a tweet by developer ConcernedApe, the multiplayer update for Stardew Valley has entered the QA (Quality Assurance) phase. This means it’s nearly ready for launch. The highly anticipated feature will also come with a number of new content. If you like a casual farm life game, then I recommend playing this game. It’s only $15, I believe.
Tomb Raided
If you visit the Tomb Raider web page, it’s a single image telling people to tune in tomorrow for a surprise. One clever individual noticed that if you read the client-side HTML of the site (right click, view source), it reveals what the announcement is going to be [spoilers]. Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the final game in the series, will be available September 14th, 2018, for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. Good security work there, Microsoft.
Thanks for reading, everyone! Today was a nice news day. There was cool stuff. Come back tomorrow for more news. That’s not a suggestion. You will come back tomorrow. All days here on out, you shall return. you WILL return. Otherwise, have a great night!
