The game-breaking joys of playing Baldur's Gate 3 as a barrelmancer

RPS:

As the name suggests, it's all about doing mildly game-breaking things with barrels, crates and other heavy containers, by taking advantage of high strength, the Throw command, and the fact that Larian RPG characters can somehow fit items as big as they are into their inventories

...

Imagine, if you will, living in a world where barrel-shaped neutron stars appear out of thin air to smash all your mates to atoms.

Playing Baldur's Gate 3 as a party entirely consisting of bears

The introduction:

It seems like only yesterday I was playing Pillars of Eternity as a party of bears. Back in 2015 I created six ranger characters, had them each summon their bear companions, and then left the rangers behind and just ran around the game as Oops All Bears for a while.

Why? Because bears. And it worked for a while, too, because for whatever reason, Pillars of Eternity seemed completely unprepared for bears to walk around the map without their owners at their sides. Enemies didn't react to bears invading their strongholds, no one got suspicious when they were surrounded by six bears, and for a while I simply chewed a furry path of destruction through the game.

Lots of gifs and vivid description of antics.

(Coincidentally, just finished reading book two (Dragons of Winter Night) for the first time. A slog I read in very small increments.)

Fangoria is posting full scans of old issues

Fangoria:

Bookmark this page; we'll add a new (old) issue each week. As with many historical pieces of pop culture, these archives may contain dated or negative depictions of people or cultures. We believe erasing these occurrences is a less healthy response than acknowledging and confronting them, so what's presented here is an unaltered document of history, something to learn from and evolve beyond.
