After your fifth wyvern kill, the five repeat themselves. The 1st and 6th fight are the same, the 2nd and 7th, and so on. But every fifth wyvern kill will get you a paragon coin that you can spend...
If you've been keeping up with Tale of the White Wyvern development and the happenings in-game, you know that the fifth wyvern kill is the "last" one, as in the one where you unlock all the game story, and the one where you need some intense grinding to win. And you may also know that a few have already hit that threshold and are working on their sixth time through. Well, if you're wondering what comes next on this journey, look no further: Paragon. Here's how it works:

Why do we play games? Game Informer has a great video explaining how games meet some of our psychological needs as psychologists and sociologists continue to study the affects of games on us. Check out the embedded video!
This is a very good question! I feel like it's entertainment. Some people watch TV, I play video games instead. Without video games, I feel lost actually. Playing video games is a bit of a hobby or occupation for me. I can agree with what's said in the video. However, I think there are other pieces that weren't mentioned. I think some people want to feel powerful or challenged. I don't like to be challenged at all, but I do like the feeling of...

Monster Hunter: World Iceborne is Coming to PC Jan. 9th
Monster Hunter: World has become Capcomās highest selling game. After itās success on consoles, it came to PC a bit later (last year). Itās first paid expansion pack DLC, Iceborne was released for consoles some time ago, but it is coming to PC on Jan 9th. Not only is the game coming to PC, but it includes new upgrades such as DirectX12 and ābetterā keyboard and mouse controls.
I got MHW this Spring and started playing it this Summer. I can only imagine how people play the game with a keyboard and mouse. I decided early on to use an Xbox controller for the game as I read that it was recommended. Iāve always found...

It's that time of year, folks. The scent of pumpkin spice is in the air. So we thought, what better time to try out all the pumpkin spice flavored things we could get our hands on and review them live? What could go wrong? Come experience the flavor of the season with us in this special episode!
The āfinalā trailer for Episode IX is out now. I say āfinalā in quotes because we will surely see more footage in TV spots and international variants.
But here we go, the last major US trailer, and we are about two months out from the filmās release.
Tickets are available now, and Iāve already got seats for the Friday of release.
Thereās a lot to unpack here, but Iāll get the discussion started with three things:
1. The scene of the new crew in the Falcon is something Iāve been wanting since TFA.
2. That arrangement of the main theme was sublime.
3. Threepio, you ok?
So go forth, watch it, and tell us what you think!

This game is weird.
You're a humanoid bird. Guns grow from plants. Out of ammo? Just plant a gun. That's pretty much your intro.
Right now, Revenge of the Bird King is NINE CENTS on the Switch. You probably have enough Nintendo coins on your account to buy it with those right now.
Beyond being weird, this is a fun game. The platforming is tricky but satisfying, though it does have its cheap moments. For nine cents you can't lose.

The Outer Worlds will be with us in just a few days, and we've gotten a final launch trailer to tempt us.
As if I needed tempting. A new Obsidian RPG? Yes, please. In space? Even better.
I don't think this trailer really sells what the game is about, but it may set the mood pretty well. There are some gameplay videos out there that give you more of a feel of the flow of the game, like this one from Kotaku: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9xOtElr6mw
But even if I hadn't known what kind of game this is already, the trailer would have grabbed me. While it's clear they're trying to borrow some of Gearbox's trailer tricks for this, the game seems to have a voice of its own.

Analogue, creators of various retro goodness, have announced their next offering: the Analogue Pocket.
Out of the box, the Analogue Pocket can play all the original run of Gameboy and Gameboy Color games, and has an audio sequencer as well.
With some adapters, you can also play other handheld titles from the Game Gear, Neo Geo Pocket, and Atari Lynx.
Taking a note from the PSP and the Nintendo Switch, you'll also be able to buy a separate dock that connects to your TV and USB/Bluetooth controllers for playing your portable games in a non-portable fashion, if that's your thing.
This isn't a portable emulator-- Analogue have engineered their own chips to play these games....

A few weeks ago The Oregon Trail Handheld was marked down to under $10 and I picked it up. If you don't remember, last year Target had the Oregon Trail handheld exclusively in stores alongside an Oregon Trail card game. I picked up the card game and wasn't impressed but when I recently got the handheld I took it to a beach trip with some friends and asked them if they wanted to play it. We had a very lucky run and made it all the way to Oregon only having one person in our party die on the rapids on the Willamette River. The Oregon Trail Handheld is a great port of the game that looks like it might not work with the odd controls on front but I was very surprised how...
When it was announced The Witcher 3 was coming to the Switch many people were excited about being able to play it on the go but had doubts about how it would perform. The Witcher 3 finally launched on Switch and Digital Foundry reviewed the port and it looks to be a pretty good port of the game that is cut down visually to accommodate the hardware and fit on a 32G install. I haven't played Witcher 3 yet and this seems like a great way to check it out.
Cool! I was wondering what would happen after that final kill, since I'm extremely close to accomplishing that now. I think losing all your charm is a bit of a small price to pay, yet it also kind of sucks. I think there shouldn't be any negative outcome for getting that final kill. Although perhaps it's kind of a balancing act so that players don't get too OP. Losing all your charm isn't too bad since we all seem to accumulate so much of it that at a certain point it no longer matters if you end up losing some of it in the forest. So this change kind of puts some polish on the charm stat, I think. When some of us stated how much charm we had, we were around 100-200+. I don't remember how much charm you need for that ultimate NPC interaction, but I'm guessing it's no where near that much. It doesn't take very long to accumulate enough charm to get to that point, but it's very easy to get so much charm that if you lose some in the forest, it's no big deal at all, other than a wasted forest fight.
Anyway, thanks again to you and Jon for making the game and continuing to develop it.
Thank you and everyone for continuing to play it!
And yeah, youāre right about the reasoning a bit.
Once youāve gone through maybe 18 levels total or so, those lower-charm responses from
NPCs just become worthless, and your charm stat effectively doesnāt matter. This gives it meaning again, but definitely pays you for taking away your charm.
And you can always choose not to use this if you want to keep that charm, but youāll lose out in the long run. Itās really a better deal for you than it is Helga. š
We are live! The 5+ crew should have a shiny coin in their inventories now.
Crugg acts like he doesn't know me!
But, I am swimming in gold, so I will just find someone I can pay to be my friend.
