Twitch streamer PointCrow is making it a point to prove that his Goldfish is better than most Elden Ring players because his pet fish’s latest accomplishment involved killing the Shadow Of The Erdtree final boss.Shortly after PointCrows fish Tortellini did the impossible, they took to X/Twitter to announce its victory (via Polygon). Tortellini defeated Radahn by using custom software with a machine-learning algorithm that tracked the fish’s movement as it swam in its tank. It’s also worth pointing out that the fish tank was digitally mapped out, and the game would respond based on where Tortellini swam. Even though Tortellini was the one to slay Radahn, the fish did have some help. PointCrows ensured their character was properly equipped for the fight, and by the time they got to …

With the return of the Black Ops series with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 comes a fateful resurrection–Treyarch’s signature round-based Zombies mode. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III took a more Warzone approach with Zombies, but with Black Ops 6, the mode is returning to its more familiar form, albeit with some significant mutations.I recently played about an hour of Black Ops 6’s Zombies mode during a preview event at Treyarch’s studios. Alongside a massive information dump about what the developer is adding to, returning to, and changing about the mode, the play session made it very clear that Treyarch is putting a big emphasis on bringing back the kind of experience hardcore fans are most excited about. But in addition to the wave-kiting, Easter egg-finding, secret-unlocking approach to …
