You know that feeling when you’re knee-deep in Baldur’s Gate 3 and start questioning if you know anything about fantasy worlds? Yeah, same. My recent attempt at their 20/20 quiz made me wonder if I’ve been playing with an actual brainworm instead of a brain.
The second act is tougher than those mornings when you realize you forgot your kid’s soccer practice. Let’s dive into today’s news roundup and see what else is testing our gamer knowledge, or patience, this week.
How well do you know Baldur’s Gate 3’s second act? You may need an actual brainworm to score a perfect 20/20 on our latest quiz
PC Gamer’s latest quiz is here to remind us just how brainwormed we all are over Baldur’s Gate 3. They’ve rolled out a fresh challenge on the game’s second act, and let’s just say, it might take some actual tadpole magic to nail that 20/20. Remember last year when we aced the first act quiz? Turns out we might have just been coasting on fresh memories and our natural nerd instincts.
Much like the US Editor-in-Chief, Tyler Wilde, some of us have a tendency to start new BG3 characters only to leave them like unfinished novels. It’s a bad habit, sure, but can you blame us? The game’s got more layers than an ogre’s onion parfait. PC Gamer’s quiz seems like a fun way to test how deep (or not) our obsession goes. So, if you fancy yourself a Baldur’s Gate 3 savant, this is your chance to prove it. Just remember to drop that brainworm if you don’t want to cheat.

Dawn of War 4 playtesters want the combat to take longer because of how much they enjoy watching it
If you’re a Nintendo person, you might be missing out on some juicy combat drama unfolding in “Dawn of War 4”. Playtesters are telling the devs to slow down the battles. Why? Because the sync-kills and melee combos are just that mesmerizing. We’re talking about people actually wanting the game to last longer, which is almost unheard of in our time-crunched world!
From what PC Gamer reports, it sounds like the developers have struck gold with the visual spectacle of these fights. It’s not every day that gamers are asking for more time to watch digital characters slice and dice. Usually, we’re all about efficiency and moving on to the next big thing. But maybe that’s the charm of “Dawn of War 4”, it’s got people wanting to savor each battle like a fine wine.
Still, let’s not get too excited too soon. For every player who wants to admire the intricate dance of combat, there’ll be someone frustrated with longer matches when their gaming time is already limited. Hopefully, they find a balance, or risk losing us to other, quicker distractions.
