EverQuest: The Darkened Sea Flows Into Game

The Darkened Sea Flows Into Game

The twenty-first EverQuest expansion has been released and will give players lots of time at the beach in pursuit of new quests, new gear and much more. Called "The Darkened Sea", the expansion gives players an opportunity to revisit characters and locations from the past that have been reimagined in new ways. Of note is the new "mount keyring" that places all mounts in a single location in order to free up inventory space.

Second Round of Tekken 7 Location Testing to Further Assess Arcade Netplay Capabilities

If this evening’s Tekken 7 trailer release wasn’t enough for you, Bandai Namco Games also revealed that they will be holding another round of location tests for the upcoming title.

Much like the public showings in October, this month’s demonstrations will be open to the public and held in separate locations to test the arcade-to-arcade netplay functionality. This time around, however, the game centers chosen to participate are further apart than those in the previous test, allowing the developers to see how it holds up in tougher conditions.

Fans will be able to get their hands on Tekken 7 by visiting the following locations November 22-23:

  • Round One Stadium Sennichimae Arcade (Osaka)
  • SEGA Ikekuburo GiGO Arcade (Tokyo)
  • Leisureland Akihabara Arcade (Tokyo)
  • Taito Station Tenjin Arcade (Fukuoka)

Bandai Namco provided the same exact information on gameplay mechanics and character moves as they did last month, so it may be best not to expect something new on that front.

Additionally, attendees will be able to score exclusive Banapass stickers (pictured below) featuring newcomers Claudio and Katarina.

Bafael Shows How to Help Dee Jay Shimmy Like a Champ in Ultra Street Fighter IV

Dee Jay is widely regarded as one of the worst characters in Ultra Street Fighter IV, but that doesn’t mean that the Jamaican fighter doesn’t have a few tricks up his sleeve.

In his latest video, Bafael demonstrates how Dee Jay can do a “shimmy” similar to Balrog technique made famous by Gootecks. The frametrap that results from this is quite decent, as it’s probably the only one that allows him to maintain charge. That being said, Dee Jay’s shimmy still has fewer follow-ups and does lower damage than Balrog’s.
