An Among Us fan creates an insane, mechanical impostor that can walk around, stab things, and even has a crewmate mode with voice lines.

Although Among Us recently skyrocketed to popularity, many of its players likely remember little robots they could buy from their childhood. These would often be in the shape of a robot t-rex, a cat, or a dog, and they would walk around on their own with little voice lines. Well, YouTuber Electo certainly seems to have remembered those toys, as he has created a robotic Impostor that is capable of walking around, has voice lines, and can even stab things occasionally. It's truly an amazing feat, and players are super supportive of what Electo has managed to do.

For those that don't know, Electo frequently creates strange builds like this. Longtime viewers of his channel will likely remember things like his Flourbomb Creeper as a testament to his willingness to do some pretty crazy things. He's also been a fan of Among Us for a while, and his viewers knew that this has been in the works for quite some time now.

In principle, the build is actually very simple. The body of the Impostor itself was 3D printed in eight different parts, each of which were then assembled afterward. In order to allow it to walk, Electo used 3D printed treads, and the stabbing mechanism was installed in the body as well. After that, a little bit of coding and some electronics helped this Among Us character come to life. He is able to walk around on his own and will occasionally stab at objects or the air seemingly at random.

The original version that Electo made had a foam knife, but in the video, he does eventually affix a real knife to the machine. With this, it is able to cut through paper, pop a water balloon, and even stab a hole into an aluminum can. Electo also made provisions for a Crewmate mode. In this mode, rather than stab at things, the Crewmate simply runs around and crashes into things. He did give it some voice lines, however, including "I saw red vent, wait I'm red" and "Subscribe to Electo."

Electo's final addition to this masterpiece was to create a baby crewmate. In order to get it to follow the bigger one around, Electo attached remote control cars to serve as the feet that follow after a light. Putting the light onto the back of the Impostor should have worked to make the baby follow it around, but in the end, Electo had to come up with an ingenious solution instead.

Nvidia announces the release date and price for its new RTX 3070 Ti and RTX 3080 Ti graphics cards, leading many to hope they can buy one.

Many people have been trying to get their hands on an RTX 3000 series graphics card with many people being unsuccessful in their attempts. Today, Nvidia announced the release date and pricing for its RTX 3070 Ti and RTX 3080 Ti. Many people may hope that this will make it easier to get a new GPU.

In the middle of the current GPU shortage, news of Nvidia’s RTX 3070 Ti and RTX 3080 Ti should be something many gamers get excited about. Many gamers, however, may be curious about availability considering the current shortages. With release dates and pricing information, gamers can only hope that the release of these new Ti series cards will allow them to get their hands on a new RTX 3000 series GPU this year.

Nvidia’s RTX 3080 Ti will be available on June 3, 2021, with a retail price starting at $1199. Running on Nvidia’s latest Ampere architecture, Nvidia promises 1.5 times the performance over the previous generation’s RTX 2080 Ti. While the RTX 3080 Ti may look similar to its little brother, the RTX 3080, the RTX 3080 Ti offers more power.

Equipped with 12GB of GDDR6X VRAM, the RTX 3080 Ti offers an extra 2GB over the RTX 3080, but still less than the RTX 3090 and its 24GB. The power draw of the new RTX 3080 Ti will increase to match the RTX 3090 at 350W TDP. This increase in power may lead to concerns over the 3080 Ti’s cooling capabilities, but consumers will have to wait on thermal testing results when they become available.

Launching a week later, on June 10, 2021, Nvidia’s RTX 3070 Ti will hit the market and offer a more affordable RTX option at $599. With 8GB of GDDR6X VRAM, Nvidia states the RTX 3070 Ti will be 1.5 times faster than the RTX 2070 Super. Both the RTX 3070 Ti and the RTX 3080 Ti will support Nvidia’s ray-tracing, DLSS, and Reflex technologies.

This sounds like splendid news on the surface, but it's important to mention that there is still a global superconductor shortage driving up the prices of GPUs. This same shortage is the reason many people have been failing to get a new gaming computer, PS5, or Xbox Series X. Nvidia acknowledged this problem a few months ago, warning consumers that supply issues may continue throughout the rest of 2021.

PC gamers and content creators shouldn’t get too excited about Nvidia’s new GPU releases because the superconductor shortage is still a problem. This shortage mixed with other outside factors like scalpers will make it difficult to get a new RTX 3070Ti, RTX 3080Ti, or any of Nvidia’s other GPUs.

 It looks like another of Sony's biggest series is coming to PC.

In a presentation released for Sony's "Investor Relations" day today, Uncharted 4, previously a PlayStation 4 exclusive, appears on a slide under the heading "More PC releases planned." Also on the slide is Days Gone, which hit the PC just last week.

The slide, labeled "New Growth Vectors," shows PC releases as a way for Sony to increase the return on investment on existing first-party games and "create new fans for our IP."

Considering Sony's past statements that it plans to bring more games to PC, this one isn't a shock. But Sony seems to have leaked this particular planned PC port in its investor report ahead of an official announcement.

Sony is streaming a State of Play event tomorrow where the first Horizon Forbidden West gameplay will debut. It's possible the announcement will be made there, but that's just a guess.

It’s safe to say that CD Projekt Red’s action role-playing game Cyberpunk 2077 was one of the most highly anticipated releases of 2020, and multiple launch date delays only seemed to make the gaming public more eager for it. So when it finally came out, the game’s numerous bugs and performance issues seemed all the more egregious when weighed against fan expectations. Within 10 days of Cyberpunk 2077’s release, there was talk of a class-action lawsuit.

Shortly after launch, Sony announced that it would be removing the game from its online store for an unspecified amount of time and, six months later, Cyberpunk 2077 is still delisted from the site. Particularly on the PS4 and Xbox One, players experienced glitches that at times made the game unplayable, including incredibly slow rendering times, frame rate drops, texture bugs, and broken animations, to name a few.

Many people believe that CD Projekt Red knew about the issues, given that it limited day one reviews to the PC version, and released the game anyway. Multiple class-action lawsuits were filed in the ensuing months and four of them, all filed in the United States, were ultimately rolled into one massive case because many of the complaints in the separate suits pertained to the same issues. When questioned during a shareholder meeting on May 25, CDPR’s board member Piotr Nielubowicz revealed that the new consolidated lawsuit against CD Projekt Red is slated to be filed at the end of June.

A new lead plaintiff has been appointed for the class-action lawsuit and the court has selected a law firm to serve as the main representative for the claimants. “As of today, we are not aware of the value of a potential claim,” stated Nielubowicz through a translator. Some of the plaintiffs in at least two of the previously separate suits were CDPR shareholders, who claimed that the company caused financial harm to investors by misleading them about the quality of the console versions of Cyberpunk 2077. At one point amidst the controversy, Business Insider reported that CDPR’s stock value had dropped by 22 percent, a nine-month low.

Additionally, a representative of CDPR stated that Sony removing the game from the PlayStation Store impacted the game’s sales on other platforms, as the decision dissuaded players from buying the game at all. The company also took a financial hit as Sony, Microsoft, and CD Projekt Red began refunding purchases, resulting in an estimated $51.2 million loss in revenue.

That loss doesn’t mean that the company’s finances have ended up in the red, however. In April 2021, CD Projekt Red revealed that it saw record-breaking revenue in 2020, with the company bringing in an estimated $564 million in sales revenue and a net profit of roughly $303 million. This is nearly triple the company’s previous profit record from The Witcher 3.

Cyberpunk 2077 is available on PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One, with PS5 and Xbox Series X versions also in development.
