• I've been covering MMOs for 13 years, and this is by far the most disgusting grind I've ever seen

  19-10-2026 23:18 via Latest from GamesRadar+
  
  In January 2023, one Old School RuneScape player made history by rocketing to 200 million experience in the MMO's laborious Agility skill in under one minute by cashing in eight years worth of collected minigame tickets. It was unprecedented – a 'see it to believe it' moment, like watching someone topple a chain of dominoes as large and complex as the Taj Mahal. On October 16, 2026, another OSRS player, Vollshtandig, reached 200 million Agility experience at the end of a 3,475-hour grind t

• Someone has made a Lego Millennium Falcon out of a chicken set, and now I think I've seen it all

  Just when I think I've seen it all, someone goes and turns a chicken into a Lego Millennium Falcon.More specifically, they've created the galaxy's fastest hunk of junk using a Moana Lego Hehei set (which is adorably google-eyed and often available for less than $30 at Amazon). Fan Switz399 took to reddit with their creation, and it's... pretty good, actually? Yes, it may look a bit more floral than Han Solo's vessel traditionally is due to the flowers on Heihei's base.

• How To Get Minior In Pokemon Go

  A new Pokemon is landing soon in Pokemon Go. The meteorite Minior is making their debut in the mobile game beginning October 19, but you won't encounter them like a typical Pokemon.Rather than periodically spawning in the wild, Minior's appearance is fittingly tied to meteor showers. The celestial Pokemon will only spawn on certain evenings when a real-world meteor shower is taking place, so you'll need to fire up the game on specific nights if you want to catch a glimpse of the new monster.To h

  GTA 6 was made by an army of thousands of game developers who had to be coordinated by Rockstar Games, but some of the studio's best work is the result of individuals using the independence afforded to them to enact the kind of chaotic goodness that would make a tabletop dungeon master smirk. Case in point: horse scrotums in Red Dead Redemption 2. The buried details of GTA 6's mammoth production line are examined in a new video from Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier, who paused to share some inf
