Last week, Artcraft revealed a cool feature coming in Crowfall, the Vessel System, that essentially allows players to find and inhabit the bodies of the fallen. They can even be crafted and sold! We simply had to know more about this fun (and gruesome!) system so we posed a few questions to Artcraft’s J. Todd Coleman.

Elder Scrolls Online: Pet Class, Where Art Thou?
In our last ESO column, our own William Murphy listed off his 2016 Wish List. In this list he makes mention to something that I haven’t really thought of before or even felt like I needed, but now I have this weird compulsion to have it implemented. Bill Murphy you have put this want, nay, need in my mind that has altered my ESO experience. All I can think about anymore is how or what new class would fit into ESO and what kind of abilities it would have.

Recent Tweets May Point to Impending Mortal Kombat X Netcode Improvements
Earlier this week, Mortal Kombat X players got a first look at gameplay footage for the characters coming to the game as part of Kombat Pack 2, but an expanded roster may not be the only exciting thing on the horizon for the title.
No one loves a mystery as much as NetherRealm Studios’ Creative Director Ed Boon, a truth he reiterated earlier today in the form of a seemingly innocuous Tweet. Upon examination, some followers were quick to notice the message sports “GOOD GAME PEACE OUT” in all caps, perhaps nodding to the popular netcode bearing the same name.
NetherRealm Studios’ Community Specialist Tyler Lansdown chimed in on the topic soon thereafter, offering little by way of resolving the mystery, but saying “some fun news [is] coming tomorrow.”
In a world where many of us spend more time facing off against opponents online as opposed to shoulder-to-shoulder at local tournaments, less than perfect netcode can (understandably) herald the downfall of an otherwise excellent game. With that in mind, improved netcode would certainly be a welcome addition to Mortal Kombat X.
Will we see a netcode-related announcement tomorrow? Stay tuned to find out!

Mr Peck Presents Stylish Peacock Combos in Skullgirls 2nd Encore
Combo videos offer a certain kind of entertainment not often found in proper matches, but it’s not common for a combo video to provide as much entertainment as Mr Peck’s latest Skullgirls 2nd Encore offering. In the video, the Peacock master demonstrates plenty of options that push the limits of practicality. Not only do many of these combos dole out massive damage, they often come with the additional bonus of completely demoralizing opponents.
The footage is loaded with plenty of unorthodox Lenny usage, and some strings that allow Peacock to pile on the hits from full screen, but the real star comes near the end when Mr Peck shows off how long he can walk forward while keeping a combo going, thanks to an assist from Valentine. It’s quite a long walk.
