The developer Crate Entertainment has so far only Grim Dawn on the merit list, even if it is not so "just". The game and its expansions have become very popular, but now it's soon time for Crate Entertainment to release its second game. It goes by the name Farthest Frontier, and is a city builder in medieval environments that was announced last year. The first gameplay trailer is now here, and shows how we will be able to go from a smaller, undeveloped settlement to a full-fledged medieval city. However, the journey there is not likely to be completely smooth, and in addition to the obligatory production of food, we must also beware of fires, wild animals and attacking bandits. We will be able to grow ten different crops, and will be able to use crop rotation to keep the soil fertile. Frost and heat are also aspects we must take into account. The game will be released in early access on Steam this year, where it will probably remain for 4-8 months, depending on how much needs to be changed or added. They estimate that there will be around ten hours of content at the early access release.

The level of ambition is almost palpable in the new Lego Star Wars, as the game includes all nine movies in the Skywalker saga. In addition, rebuilt from the ground up, despite the fact that seven of the films have already been played and (not infrequently) praised in Lego game form. April 5 is the time. Let's hope that Power is with the game.

Scientists believe they know which year the asteroid that killed all the dinosaurs collided with Earth. - It is a combination of evidence that allows us to now say when it happened, says Melanie During, researcher at Uppsala University in Sweden. According to the latest estimate, the asteroid that exterminated 76 percent of all species crashed into the earth 66,043 +/- 0.043 million years ago. There is thus an uncertainty of up to 86,000 years in the calculation. Despite this, researchers now believe they are sure that it happened during the boreal spring, that is, when it is spring in the northern hemisphere. How come? One wonders. Melanie During, who works at the Center for Evolutionary Biology at Uppsala University and is the first author of the study now presented in the journal Nature, tells of a place in southwestern North Dakota in the United States, where there is an almost unlikely accumulation of fossils in what once was time was a lake. - The place is called Tanis and there, at Hell Creek, we find lots of fossilized dinosaur teeth, shark teeth and fish. Everything is gathered in one place and most of all these animals died at the same time, just minutes after the impact, she says. How do you know that? - You can compare the impact with throwing a bowling ball in a sandbox. Enormous amounts of molten rock and soil were thrown into space, says Melanie During. Once there, they solidified and formed small glass-like hollow bullets. After between 15 and 30 minutes, the bullets fell to the ground over large areas. Many of the animals that died and fossilized in Tanis were fish. - These bullets are called tektites. Previous research has shown that they can only be formed in space. On Earth, they become completely flat, due to gravity. If you look at the gills in these fossilized fish, you see round tektites everywhere. They are not found in the digestive system, but only in the gills, which means that the tektites came right at the moment of death, says Melanie During. Melanie During researches at the Evolutionary Biology Center in Uppsala. Probably, she says, the fish died from these tektites in combination with the big wave that washed over the area. - There was no tsunami, but the shock wave was so great that the water in the lake shook back and forth, from one side to the other. The same phenomenon can be seen in swimming pools in connection with earthquakes. The scale was probably more than ten meters high and buried all living things in its path. Some of the fossilized fish are different types of sturgeon that died 'a lot' minutes after the collision. These fish have the property that they grow seasonally, starting in the spring. Growth then peaks during the summer, when the supply of food is at its greatest, and then begins to decline in the autumn. In winter, when there is a shortage of food, they hardly grow at all. - It can be seen in the skeleton, much like the annual rings on a tree, says Melanie During. Based on this knowledge, the researchers then analyzed the relationship between two different types of carbon in the skeleton of a number of fossils. - But we did not look at carbon-14, which gave rise to the carbon-14 method, but at carbon-12 and -13. Carbon-12 uses the fish to make sugar, while the other carbon variant is built into the skeleton, says Melanie During. The ratio between these two isotopes thus varies depending on how the fish grows during the year. On one and the same fish, the researchers were able to follow the growth up to seven years back in time. - All fish stopped growing exactly between the lowest value in the winter and the highest value in the summer, that is, in the spring, she continues. From the fact that she and her colleagues think they know that the geological age Mesozoic (which contains the periods Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous) ended in the spring and not at any other time of the year. What does it matter? - This bang has employed researchers for decades. One of all the questions is how come all the dinosaurs died, except those who became birds. The mammals that existed at this time, as well as the crocodiles and turtles, also survived. We do not know why, but the time of year may have mattered. Future research will show that.

Anyone who hates having a lot of different launchers on their computer can rejoice at the news that it will soon be one less, at least if you play Bethesda's products. Through their website, they announce that it's time to say goodbye to Bethesda.net Launcher, but also assure that all games we own are safe. Starting in April, we will be able to migrate our games and any wallets to our Steam accounts. The save files for many games will also be transferred automatically, while others require a manual touch. The Bethesda account itself will still be there and available via the website, and you will continue to have to log in to play certain games. This only applies to PC players, and console players do not have to do anything.

We already knew that Assassin's Creed Valhalla was a real cash magnet for Ubisoft, but now we have a slightly more specific figure to relate to. In a conversation with investors, CEO Yves Guillemot states that the revenue from the game squeezed above the dream limit of one billion dollars in revenue in December 2021. This most likely also includes the revenue from the expansions released, such as the Siege of Paris, and thanks to the game's popularity, it will be even more. The expansion Dawn of Ragnarok is on its way, and earlier this month we got a better picture of what it will be in a six-minute video. Another thing we can possibly look forward to - if the rumors can be trusted - is a smaller Assassins' Creed game that is said to have a greater focus on stealth and taking place in Baghdad.

The long-awaited Horizon Forbidden West is released. The idea was that we would have to revisit Aloy and the gang as early as 2021, but the game was delayed until now instead. According to a Dutch newspaper NU, the game was delayed to avoid "crunch" and overtime for the workers. The newspaper interviewed Mathijs de Jonge and he said this: The so-called "cruch culture" is a hot topic in the gaming world that also gets a lot of criticism. There has been a tradition that you basically work day and night the last weeks (sometimes months) to get the projects done, at the expense of workers' health.

It has long been confirmed that Amazon is working on a TV series based on Fallout. The last we heard was that Jonathan Nolan will direct the series. Jonathan is the brother of the more famous Christopher Nolan. He has also worked a lot with his brother and helped in many of his films and projects. Now it has been confirmed that the actor Walton Goggins has signed for a lead role, he is known for Django Unchained, The Hateful Eight, The Shield and Sons of Anarchy. There are also rumors that he will play a so-called ghoul, but this is something that has not yet been confirmed. Amanzon aims for the series to go into production this year, which means that it will be a while before it reaches us viewers.

Wow... All that hype for a simple BMW commercial. Sorry Arnold, I'm not impressed by the misleading campaign.
