Like previous seasons, Destiny 2 players will have plenty of seasonal challenges to pursue for the next several months. Season of the Lost's objectives offer plenty of variety, with each adding a new selection of challenges that reward you with gear, resources, and experience points. You won't have to do every objective within the week that they debut either, as Destiny 2 stacks new seasonal challenges on top of older ones, giving Guardians time to pursue the tasks that they deem to be a priority.Here's how it works and all of the seasonal challenges available so far.Table of Contents [hide]Season of the Lost Weekly ChallengesSeason of the Lost Weekly ChallengesWeek 2 splits the challenges between continuing the Wayfinder Voyage quest, getting some Linear Fusion Rifle practice, and spending some time in the Iron Banner.

No Man's Sky's last few updates have been explosive, adding tons of new features like flying pets, new multiplayer game modes, and more. However, the game's latest update, Frontiers, could potentially have a larger impact than any other. Frontiers, which players can download now, adds a settlement system to No Man's Sky, letting players build their own town that they can manage on an alien planet.As of today's update, players can find settlements across the universe. Players won't be able to plop their own settlement down wherever they'd like, but will instead have to earn the title of Overseer at an existing one. Once they're in change, players can start taking on the duties of a space colony mayor, which don't sound too out-of-this-world.Along with naming the settlement and deciding what's built in it, the role of a town Overseer also includes sorting out all kinds of disputes. Players will have to both resolve arguments between villagers and defend the town from attacking Sentinels.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Developer Zoink's Lost in Random takes place in a world defined by the idea that, as everyone in the game is so fond of saying, "random rules." Citizens are randomly assigned where they'll live once they reach a certain age, for example, and protagonist Even fights enemies by rolling a six-sided die and choosing from an assortment of abilities based on what she happens to randomly roll. But just how random is Lost in Random--are players' successes and failures tied to the roll of the die or are there systems on the backend helping (or hindering) each roll?"Most games have some kind of random element to it," Zoink CEO and head of development Klaus Lyngeled told me. "The randomness you have here is that you throw a dice and the dice gives you a number and you have to decide what you want to do based on that number. And that's random, that's really random."Lost in Random takes place in a world where the concept of randomness has power. The Queen of Random is the most powerful being in the land because she possesses a die, which she rolls to decide the fates for every citizen once they come of age. You play as Even, whose older sister Odd is taken to live with The Queen after rolling a six. Even has a nightmare that Odd is in trouble and goes to help her, stumbling upon a dice-filled graveyard early on in her journey. It's here that Even meets Dicey, a sentient die. When Even rolls him, she evokes something random (as there's no way to accurately predict how a die will land every time), and in doing so, she unlocks powerful magical abilities that make her a threat to those who would get in her way.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Sega's free-to-play Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis is celebrating the release of Sonic Colors: Ultimate with a limited-time crossover event where players can earn a variety of Sonic-themed items. Unfortunately, some of the most in-demand items featured in the event require spending $100 to unlock, something that players are, understandably, not thrilled about.Most of the reward tracks during the event are relatively easy for players to obtain. If enough players retweet #NGSxSonicCollab, everyone will receive an in-game Tails doll, for example. Logging in for consecutive days will earn players items like Sonic-themed stamps, earrings, and shoes.But for items like a Tails, uh, tail, or the ability to dash around in a ball like Sonic, players will need to spend some cold, hard cash, and a lot of it. Unlocking Tails' tails, the lowest-level event reward in the "Treat' Chao-Self" reward track, costs 2,000 AC (PSO2: NG's premium currency), or $20. To unlock the Sonic dash along with previous rewards in track, players need to spend more than 10,000 AC during the event period, which is the equivalent of $100.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

This includes PA announcers, the people who commentate over the speaker system at a stadium while a game is going on. Much like TV commentators, PA announcers can become local legends based on particularly memorable calls in big games.
