Win a copy of MLB 2K12 for the PS3!

By Ryan Fleming April 13, 2012

Ahhh, baseball, the American pastime. Baseball has become synonymous with America. It is right up there with apple pie, Micky Mouse, and Snooki. Sorry about that last one, world.

First officially played back in 1846, the game has outlasted several governments, been around longer than automobiles, and made it through the Civil War and two World Wars while still remaining essentially the same game. And even after all that, the sport is still recording huge numbers of fans as it continues to grow around the world.

The 2012 season began last week, and its timing coincides nicely with our game giveaway. It was very convenient of baseball to schedule its opening week around our giveaway. Last week it was Driver: San Francisco, this week it is 2K Sports’ MLB 2K12 for the PS3.

For your chance to win, here’s all you have to do: let us know what upcoming game that you would like to hear more about. Not necessarily (or not just) the game you are most interested in playing, but the game you would like to hear more from the developers on, or learn more about the gameplay, etc., etc.

Just post in the comments below what game you would like to hear more about, and you will be entered for a chance to win. On top of that we will try to follow up and bring you some more coverage on that title.

We will pick one winner at random next Friday (April 20), then post our next weekly giveaway, so tune in. If you would like to be in the know on the next game giveaways be sure to keep an eye on the DT gaming section, “like” DT on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, or subscribe to our writers’ (just hit the subscribe button next to their name in the byline).

Good luck to everyone!

{Update: Congrats to the poster ximfist, winner of the PS3copy of MLB 2K12!}

VR headset deals: Meta Quest 2 and VIVE XR

htc vive vs pro headphones

While VR may not be as big as was predicted back in the early 2000s when the original Oculus Go was released, there is still a considerable market these days, and some great VR games like Half-Life: Alyx that you can have fun with. Of course, VR headsets remain expensive, and while options like the Meta Quest don't necessarily require a high-end gaming PC, they can still be a bit pricey for those who just want to put a foot in the hobby. Luckily, there are some good deals you can take advantage of, even on some of the best VR headsets, so be sure to check out all your options below.
Meta Quest 2 -- $199, was $200

Even though the Meta Quest 3 came out quite recently, the Meta Quest 2 is still a pretty powerful contender, especially since it has a wider library and app support than the Quest 3 currently has. Even more so, the Quest 2 is a lot cheaper than the Quest 3, and with the latest permanent discount down to just $200, that's a whole $300 or so difference from the Quest 3. Of course, the Quest 3 does have more advanced AR and slightly better performance with software and Wi-Fi, but that may not be worth the extra cost for some. Either way, be sure to check out the breakdown between Quest 2 and Quest 3 to get a better sense of what you should pick up.

BlizzCon 2024 is not happening despite Blizzard’s strong 2024 lineup

A still from World of Warcraft The Worldsoul Saga's reveal tralier.

World of Warcraft, Diablo, and Overwatch maker Blizzard Entertainment confirmed that BlizzCon 2024 will not be happening.

BlizzCon was a convention that Blizzard Entertainment held almost every year between 2005 and 2019 to celebrate its games and make new announcements. The pandemic and hostile workplace allegations against Blizzard meant that no shows were held in 2020 or 2022 (2021 was digital-only), but BlizzCon made its grand return in 2023. We attended it last November and had the opportunity to speak with developers and learn more about Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer's first visit to Blizzard, upcoming plans for franchises like Diablo and Warcraft, and more. Although Blizzard never outright confirmed that it would hold BlizzCon in 2024, the event was expected to continue after its return last year.

How to unlock fast travel in Another Crab’s Treasure

Kril with a coconut shell

Another Crab's Treasure is a fantastical soulslike set deep under the ocean where danger lurks around every corner. And like other games in the genre, it's often brutally difficult to overcome the various challenges you'll encounter. As such, you may find yourself wanting to backtrack for level grinding, to uncover new secrets, or to buy additional items in the game's main hub. However, you may notice early in the game that you haven't yet unlocked the ability to fast travel between the multitude of Moon Snail Shells (aka "bonfires") you've found. Here's how and when you'll unlock fast travel.
How to unlock fast travel
In the opening hours of the game, you may notice that you can access your skill tree, which will show a skill called Shelleportation. But you may be discouraged to see that you aren't able to apply any points to it yet. That's because the game doesn't open up this feature until you've advanced a few hours into the story.

To unlock fast travel, you'll need to work your way through the first few main areas of the game until you reach a boss called the Polluted Platoon Pathfinder. After beating this baddie, you'll soon find yourself teleporting to the Moon Snail's Domain. Here, you'll learn about the power of Umami, as well as unlock access to your skill tree.
