Someone asked him on social media if Helldivers II could introduce a story mode, and the executive plainly stated, “Not happening. Sorry bro.”

Why not? According to Jorjani, it would be like “building an entirely new game,” and that’s not in the cards. So for now at least, Helldivers II will remain a multiplayer game exclusively.

Jorjani went on to discuss Helldivers II’s latest patch, which was a big one. He said putting it together was a “big team effort,” going on to promise that Arrowhead is not packing up and moving on. “We’ll keep at it bit by bit to make the game better, bigger, and mor…

Before Terrifer 3 hits theaters later this year, a new horror film called Stream is reuniting the team behind that flick, including David Howard Thornton. After establishing himself as the iconic Art the Clown in the first two Terrifier films, Thornton is now portraying another serial killer, Player 2. But as seen in the first trailer for Stream, Player 2 isn’t the only threat on the prowl. Three other serial killers are also competing against Player 2 to determine who is the most-creative murderer.

The film brings together three other horror luminaries as well: Jeffrey Combs, Tony Todd, and Danielle Harris. Combs portrays Mr. Lockwood, the owner of a small hotel and the apparent mastermind behind the contest of serial killers. To keep any of the potential victims from e…

At the end of his joint Twitch stream with AOC, Walz briefly played Crazy Taxi, although he was admittedly rusty after so many years away from the game. Regardless, he still showed off some of his skills in the game.

As alluded to by Walz in the clip above,…
