Fortnite encourages players to crack open a boy with the cold ones by cracking a cold one with the boys! Needless to say, the frat boy culture of Activision Blizzard may be on the decline, but at least we can all enact a much safer version of crazy beer keg stunts thanks to the power of online gaming… Why yes, the word ‘may’ IS doing literally all the legwork in that sentence!

As the Winterfest Fortnite event will be ending on January 6th, the devs at Epic Games thought it would be nice to throw in a few extra gameplay items on January 4th, which of course leads us to the subject of today’s blog, The Shield Keg! How does it work? I’m so glad I asked!

Let’s set the scene and say you and JohnnyScienceNamer42069 (more commonly known as Antoine Lavoisier) are making your guns go shooty-bang-bang at a couple enemy players. Now, because you’re not exactly a black belt in the noble art of shooting people in the face, it’s safe to assume you and your partner in crime took a lot of damage in the heat of battle. So what do you do? Well, turns out you stumbled upon The Titular Shield Keg while you and your friend were ducking for cover in Quirkily-Named-Alliterative-Location-87. So, before your pursuers catch up, you have the bright idea of picking up The Titular Shield Keg, throwing it on the ground and then getting soaked in whatever suspiciously viscous liquid was inside. Luckily, the contents of the Shield Keg also happen to regenerate the health and shield of anyone in the splash zone for a limited time. So besides possibly needing a change of draws afterwards, I’d say that worked out pretty well!

You can find Shield Kegs throughout the Fortnite island on the ground, in chests, supply drops, Your Mum, anywhere really! And if you’ve saved up enough gold bars (which you can often find in cash registers and sofas in-game), you can also trade them to buy Shield Kegs from Lt. John Llama and The Scientist… Why yes, Fortnite does have lore, I’m just as surprised as you!

With all that in mind, do I recommend the Shield Keg as a viable healing tool? Yes and no. Although it heals you up alot, it can sometimes take it’s sweet time with how fast it regenerates your health and shield, so you’re better off using it in multiplayer modes where the spraying function means it’ll be more immediately helpful to your teammates.

The Shield Keg is meant to be a shield-based accompaniment to another item, the Med-Mist, which was introduced in the previous hotfix 19.00 update of Fortnite. As for other new items: Tents allow players to carry 2-3 extra items, as well as slowly-but-surely heal up your health. You can also get Spider-Man web shooters that control surprisingly well! May not be the most powerful thing in the world, but tis a welcomed replacement for the Baller vehicle that I’ve missed since it’s departure from Fortnite.

The post Fortnite Shield Keg: An Introductory Roast! first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Sonic Frontiers, or as I lovingly call it, Sonic Odyssey meets Sonic of the Colossus, was originally pegged for a 2021 launch (according to an investor QnA with SEGA). Luckily, the folks at SonicStadium have confirmed that Sonic Frontiers is now planned to release around holiday season 2022, mainly to allow time to improve the game’s quality.

“Not only for this title, but during the development phase, we have been steadily conducting analysis to improve the quality of the title before release, such as introducing game testing based on external evaluations, and I have a feeling that it will become a good game and have high expectations for it” – SEGA response in QnA.

Sonic Boom: Fire and Ice (surprisingly NOT a Game of Thrones crossover) has also been delayed for the same reason.

While there’s no gameplay available yet, SEGA has promised that Sonic Frontiers should be taking the Sonic franchise in a new drastically different direction from past titles. Considering the trailer (psst, right here) seems to promise a vast world of nature and ancient ruins (ala Breath of the Wild), it would be interesting to see how the game handles traversal and parkour platforming with a character known for being bouncy and speedy.

Compared to SEGA’s announcement of interest in NFTs, I’d say the delay info is good news! For the blessedly uninitiated: NFTs are essentially fancy-shmancy receipts for digital art, not giving you ownership, but essentially saying “oh, but consider this: I might own it! Therefore, give me 69 billion quid if you want to use it”. For a more in-depth explanation on the concept, have a look at Patrick Macintyre’s blog on Ubisoft’s NFT announcement and the analysis video on NFTs (Nasty F****** Things) from Jim Sterling.

Going back to SEGA specifically, they have been trying out ‘various experiments and we have already started many different studies and considerations but nothing is decided at this point regards P2E (play-to-earn)’. SEGA also noted the large-scale unpopularity of NFTs, so hopefully they’ll come to their senses sooner or later. I mean, SEGA. Honey. Baby. It’s okay, you’ve been out of the console game too long, we all make widdle itsy bitsy mistakerooneys, just don’t forget to take your meds next time (UwU).

In other news, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 developer GSC Game World has announced plans to avoid NFTs shortly after announcing plans to incorporate them, due to fan backlash.

Sonic Mania, plus a fun art book! Knuckles and Knuckles, a bauble head, look!

Dying Light implies Living Darkness… Sleep paralysis weird, yo.

There was once an AMIIBO called Bowser, called Lucas to talk about flowers. With a hand-each from Lottie, Tom Nook’s favorite totty, they said “let’s give these buds a shower”.

There was once a young woman named Barbie, one day she got bit by a zombie! But she didn’t turn, for soon she would learn, she had no brains- “oh, harder Harvey”!

When in doubt, insult one out! Click here for my last “explained in insults” homage blog on Elden Ring gameplay tips. Now without further ado, call me a policeman getting railed by David Cameron, because you’re about to experience roasting that’s only been reserved for the spit until now!

Now, I know, boo hoo, my blogs don’t have videos embedded- TOUGH TITTY MASERATI, sometimes we can’t have nice things, so click here for the Elden Ring story trailer shown at The Game Awards or carry on reading like the meek little bookworm you are! And because some of you have memory spans short enough to make Dory feel cocky, feel free to check our coverage of the Elden Ring 19-Minute gameplay reveal if you’re so inclined. Good? Good!

Port Won: Contex: Elden Ring will be dropping February 25th 2022, but if- no, you WANT to get the pre-order copies we have here at Go2Games if you want to get at the game with a couple handy-dandy extras. And lo and behold, I’ve got a blog on the different Elden Ring Pre-Order bonuses too!

Now for the story: The world and lore was largely made by George RR Martin, so imagine my shock at the primary Elden Ring setting being the creatively named “Lands Between”… LANDS BETWEEN WHAT GEORGE? Cleavage? Gatwick Airport? The British Isles? AQUAMAN!? We’ll find out during the game.

Now, to heavily paraphrase the story trailer’s narrator:

“Bruuh, like, there was these thieves. And they took the death rune. And like, I need my runes man. Like. This is like, a particular strand of death rune I’m not allergic to man. So like. If you could get it for me? That’d be great? And maybe some burgers, fried chicken, a pizza, and fix The Titular Elden Ring to prevent the fall of our society and pantheon of Gods, like, only if you’re cool with that” – The Narrator.

Also, the game’s opening NPCs really like poking fun at how you don’t have a catgirl maid waiting on you hand and foot… At least, that’s what I think “Maidenless” means, but who cares! No VaatiVidya lore analysis till you can do 50 parries with your knuckles!

I hope that Titular Elden Ring stays broken if only because I can imagine where some of you will put it, and probably not on your finger!

And FromSoftware, please try not to have such mean NPCs poking fun at the player… I mean, that’s MY job!

There was once an AMIIBO called Belmont. Who loved to yeet axes in Vermont. With a whip and a thong, Chrom soon came along, and said “Lottie promised me a bouffant”!
