NOOO!! The lakehouse! Looks like we're gonna have a construction project soon in Valheim. But in the meantime Mike, Jason and Nick finally tackle Bonemass, the game's swamp boss and get the best Christmas gift anyone can hope for - never visiting the swamps again.

The crew dove into a Viking world for their normal Monday evening Twitch streams this week. Did you tune in? If not you missed out on some great action and horrible Viking impressions. Thankfully we are nice people and have decided to post the recap of Tribes of Midgard for you below.

Around this time last year (which only feels like 5 years ago), we heard about a new action-survival game called Tribes of Midgard, which showed players running around a world fighting monsters from Norse legends, collecting materials, and building a home base. The title looked promising - particularly as it supports up to 10 players online - and during this year's Summer Game Fest, we finally got news of an official release date. Fell giants and defend the Seed of Yggdrasil with your buddies on July 27, 2021.

Valheim's popularity has certainly caught a lot of people by surprise. Developer Iron Gate is included in that list. With the influx of over 6 million players since the game hit early access in February, there's been a need to know "what's next?" But that influx shed light on several issues the game has had and the small studio of less than ten developers focused on making the game right instead of providing new content.

We've been running a dedicated Valheim server now for almost a full month, digging into the survival game a chunk at a time. While our progress may be slow, we're really enjoying what the game has to offer in terms of progression, combat, and of course building.

We're back with another stream of Valheim, the online co-op survival game featuring Vikings, boars, deer, and now...trolls! Our stream starts just after a giant troll literally demolishes our hard work from last stream. Killing the "door" house. Thankfully Locke is able to get revenge as we run around like chickens on the dinner menu.

We're back with more Valheim, this time we continue to build our Viking village and fight off the graylings. Things get more intense after our battle with the game's first boss but its onward and upwards as we try to cover our manly bodies in something other than a loin cloth.

Survival games are all the rage these days, with the trend starting many years ago with Minecraft, we've seen the genre absolutely explode across all gaming platforms. We've had dinosaurs, zombies, and even cannibals as a setting for these games. Now with a new game from developer Iron Gate we have Vikings. It's Valheim an up to 10 player co-op game now in early access on PC.

Minecraft has managed to give players limitless potential since its release back in 2009, but some how the game continues to add the content the game always needs, even now, eleven years later. In the most recent update, the game has decided to dive into the depths of the hellish Nether to introduce new biomes, blocks, mobs, and resources.It even introduces a new upgrade to diamond resources, meaning even the most achieved players will need to dive back into the game to upgrade their gear. The update is accompanied with the adorable trailer below, which accurately shows about how many times I’ve personally died in the Nether since the content went live.  The changes are available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch.

Tribes of Midgard is a brand new game in which 10 co-op players team of to resist the oncoming invasion of giants during Ragnarök. Set in a fantasy world full of dark creatures, giant and vengeful gods, Tribes of Midgard looks to bring a unique spin to the survival genre.

In these unprecedented times during the Corona virus outbreak that is plaguing the world, many of us are stuck in doors due to government mandated "stay at home" orders. While many schools are attempting to offer remote learning possibilities for children, not all have the access or attention the fully get engaged. Microsoft's Minecraft game is hoping to help a little bit by offering free educational content through the Minecraft marketplace.

Earlier this week, the PlayStation 4 version of the popular building-sim, Minecraft, finally got the Bedrock Update. That update made its way around all other versions of the game so that all of them could play together; the PS4 version of the game was the one notable exception. With that update, everybody can play Minecraft on all platforms where it's available and have their progress carry over.
