Stormtrooper and Robocop working together, mass hysteria! NY Comic-Con in pictures

By Adam Rosenberg Published October 12, 2014

As the 2014 edition of New York Comic Con moves into its last day, take a moment to reflect on all that we’ve seen. Wolverine cracking jokes with Superman. An Imperial Stormtrooper swapping enforcement tips with RoboCop. A literal parade of Deadpools, marching in a mad conga line across the show floor, completely unaware that Deadpool co-creator Rob Liefeld was bringing up the rear.

This is the mass hysteria that is Comic Con. It’s a combined multiverse mash-up and otherworldly fashion show in which all your favorite characters (and hundreds more that you’ve never laid eyes on) gather together with the shared purpose of geeking the hell out. Take a moment to reflect on all the good cheer as you gaze at these photos.

How to fix reputation in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl

Two groups pointing at each other in Stalker 2.

Unless you played any of the previous games, it might come as a surprise to learn just how many immersive sim elements are in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. In a lot of ways, it is closer to a more hardcore Fallout game than a pure FPS title, with lots of loot, quests, and characters to meet and talk to. One somewhat hidden mechanic is the reputation system. Stalker 2 won't stop you from opening fire on anyone you want, but not without consequence. Upset someone from a particular group, and you'll find yourself being hunted by them until you do something about it. There are enough things in Stalker 2 trying to kill you so if you accidentally angered a group and want to get back in their good graces, here's how you can fix your reputation.
How to fix your reputation in Stalker 2

If you've intentionally or accidentally shot or hurt a friendly NPC from one of the main groups in Stalker 2, you will instantly be put on their "shoot on sight" list if it lowers your reputation enough. Thankfully, there are ways to get yourself a second or third chance, but only two.

20 years later, the Nintendo DS remains one of gaming’s best devices

It's a special day. Today, November 21, 2024, marks the 20th anniversary of the Nintendo DS' launch in North America.

It’s hard for me to believe it’s been that long, because Nintendo's dual-screen handheld device defined my childhood more than any other device. While I started my gaming journey on the original Xbox and Game Boy Advance, the Nintendo DS is what truly made me fall in love with video games. It was an innovative piece of technology that drew my attention in ways none of my other childhood toys could. These were formative gaming experiences that I’ll always remember.
