One Of The Year’s Wildest Metroidvanias Is Down To Its Lowest Price Yet

by

Shadow Labyrinth came out on July 18th and has received mixed reactions from critics. It uniquely blends exploration and action reminiscent of Metroid with puzzle elements inspired by Pac-Man, but it’s definitely one of the largest and most talked-about metroidvania-style platformers in a while. What’s really interesting is that it’s connected to Bandai Namco’s shared universe, which includes classics like Galaga, Dig-Dug, and Ace Combat. This means fans can look forward to lots of hidden references and connections to their favorite Bandai Namco games.

Initially, there was broken code visible, then the store got stuck loading, and now it’s displaying an error message saying something went wrong with the request.

Apparently, this is the second-biggest inflow ever, beaten only by November 7th, 2024 – you know, the day everyone collectively decided Donald Trump being President was…a good thing for Bitcoin? 🤷‍♀️ (Don’t ask me to explain the logic. I’m trying to understand my own life, let alone crypto.)

Doughn’t Think Taylor Swift Won’t Talk About Sourdough

by

Putting the bread news aside, Taylor Swift revealed that Travis Kelce had the engagement ring for quite a while before he actually proposed. She admitted she can’t stop looking at it, saying it feels surreal and represents their future together. Swift was also surprised to see Kelce so nervous, as he proposed immediately after they finished recording their New Heights podcast. She joked that she’d never seen him like that, and wondered how high his heart rate was when he listened to the song “Wood” with his family – that might have been a close second in terms of nerve-wracking moments!
