Humble Bundle serves up a collection of classic Star Wars PC games as part of its latest pay-what-you-want digital compilation, with a portion of proceeds benefiting Unicef and Star Wars: Force for Change.

Bundle offerings include critically acclaimed PC titles like Star Wars: TIE Fighter and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, along with bonus incentives for buyers who exceed the collection’s average purchase price.

Customers who pay $1 or more for the Star Wars Humble Bundle will receive Steam copies of the 1998 real-time strategy game Star Wars: Rebellion, 1999’s space combat sim Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance, and Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds Saga, which includes the Galactic Battlegrounds and Clone Campaigns mission packs.

All bundle buyers will also receive a 10 percent discount on the Humble Monthly subscription service, along with the Balance of Power expansion for Star Wars: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter.

Paying more than the bundle’s average purchase price unlocks Steam codes for 1993’s Star Wars: X-Wing and its 1994 sequel Star Wars: TIE Fighter. Both bundled games include all previously issued Special Edition content in addition to their core campaigns. Beating the average purchase price additionally entitles buyers to Steam copies of BioWare’s expansive RPGs Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords.

Buy the bundle for $10 or more and you’ll also get the 2006 real-time strategy game Star Wars Empire At War: Gold Pack and the kid-friendly co-op platformer Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga, which pairs up the original Lego Star Wars with its sequel Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy.

Humble Bundle customers who chip in at least $35 will additionally receive an exclusive t-shirt featuring a unique Star Wars-themed design. The Star Wars Humble Bundle will be up for grabs through March 15th.

All Baobab Tree locations in Tales of Kenzera

Zau fights a dragon in Tales of Kenzera: Zau.

While it wasn't marketed as being a particularly punishing game, Tales of Kenzera: Zau is by no means easy. You will have plenty of environmental challenges that can instantly sap your life, and the enemies you face -- especially the bosses -- are no slouches. When you first begin, it will only take a couple of bad hits to send Zau to the land of the dead himself. Alongside the Trinkets you can unlock through hidden challenges around the map, there are also Baobab Trees where Zau can stop to reflect on his journey thus far, have a short dialogue with Kalunga, and get a small addition to his health bar. Like everything in the game, these trees aren't prohibitively hidden, but you could easily pass one by and have no idea where it was when trying to backtrack. These are all the Baobab Tree locations so you can max out your health bar.
All Baobab Tree locations
There are six Baobab Trees to find in Tales of Kenzera: Zau and each adds a small segment of health to your total. When you collect them all, you will roughly double your HP bar. Here are each of their locations in the rough order you should naturally find them in. Most can be picked up on your first time through that area.

This one is very hard to miss as it is directly on your critical path. If you do, you can fast travel to the nearby campfire to grab it.

All Fallout games, ranked

The courier in his nuclear gear and holding his gun in Fallout: New Vegas key art.

Who would've thought the post-apocalypse could be such a fun time? The Fallout franchise has taken the idea of a Mad Max-like future and not only made it into a wildly popular game franchise but also a hit TV series. The core franchise has been around since the late '90s, and yet we've had only a handful of mainline entries in the series since it was revived by Bethesda with Fallout 3. With Starfield in the rearview mirror and the next Elder Scrolls title currently being the dev team's focus, it could be close to another decade before we can set foot in the wasteland ourselves once again. What better time, then, to look back at the franchise and rank all the games from best to worst?

NYT Strands: answers for Wednesday, April 24

Strands is a brand new daily puzzle from the New York Times. A trickier take on the classic word search, you'll need a keen eye to solve this puzzle.

Like Wordle, Connections, and the Mini Crossword, Strands can be a bit difficult to solve some days. There's no shame in needing a little help from time to time. If you're stuck and need to know the answers to today's Strands puzzle, check out the solved puzzle below.
How to play Strands
You start every Strands puzzle with the goal of finding the "theme words" hidden in the grid of letters. Manipulate letters by dragging or tapping to craft words; double-tap the final letter to confirm. If you find the correct word, the letters will be highlighted blue and will no longer be selectable.
