AMC, the cable network behind Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead is developing yet another comic book adaptation, with a new Sony Pictures Television deal to develop a series based on Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s Preacher (via Deadline). On board to write and executive produce is This Is the End writer/director duo Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Joining them is executive producer/showrunner Sam Catlin, as well as Neal Moritz and Vivian Cannon, exec producing for Original Films.

Rogen and Goldberg’s involvement appears to be limited to behind-the-scenes work; Deadline notes that there are “no plans for Rogen” – a well-established actor in his own right – “to have an onscreen presence at this time.” Catlin is a noteworthy participant as well. He served as a producer on Breaking Bad (co-exec producer starting in the fourth season), and he wrote a number of the now-concluded series’ episodes, including the memorable “4 Days Out,” in which Walt and Jesse find themselves stranded in the desert for multiple days.

Preacher is not exactly what many would consider to be “TV-friendly.” The story follows Reverend Jesse Custer, a faithless Texas preacher who picks up the ability to speak in the voice of God, then begins to hunt for God after discovering the Almighty has abandoned his post. He is joined along the way by an ex-girlfriend with a knack for guns, and a boozin’ and druggin’ Irish vampire. He’s pursued in his quest by supernatural cowboy, the Saint of Killers, and a secret organization known as The Grail that is charged with protecting Jesus Christ’s bloodline.

“We’ve tried for seven years to work on Preacher and we’re so psyched AMC is finally letting us,” Goldberg and Rogen said in a statement. “It is our favorite comic of all time, and we’re going to do everything we can to do it right. Humperdoo!”

Is Manor Lords multiplayer or co-op?
A medieval market in Manor Lords.

You can easily lose hours designing your village and appeasing your citizens in Manor Lords all by yourself. There are so many different avenues to achieve victory, but the only competition or help you can normally find is in the form of NPCs. Other factions around the map can be helpful or harmful depending on how you play, but what if you wanted to team up with a friend to combine resources, or perhaps compete to see who can crush the other first? Many strategy and city builders thrive on multiplayer components, but does Manor Lords offer those same modes? Make sure you know the answer before making your purchase if that's your intention.
Is there multiplayer or co-op in Manor Lords?
To cut to the chase, the answer is no. Manor Lords is a purely single-player experience through and through. There are no cooperative or competitive modes in the game at all, so there's no way to interact with anyone else either on PC or console. This game was just released out of early access, and there is plenty of content on the way, however, we regret to inform you that multiplayer is not in the plans for the time being.

One developer took to the Steam forums to release an FAQ on the game. One question specifically asked if there is any multiplayer or cooperative gameplay in the game. The response said that "he focus is on a refined single-player experience, with no multiplayer or cooperative modes planned at the moment."

How to get a gun in Another Crab’s Treasure
Kril has a gun

Another Crab's Treasure no doubt looks like a kid-friendly game, but hiding beneath its charming and cute exterior is a challenging soulslike experience that can test the mettle of genre veterans. Those who either can't or don't want to engage with such intense difficulty throughout this underwater adventure can make great use of a variety of assists. Among these is a rather shocking, but hilarious option that can completely negate nearly all of the game's challenge while providing some laughs along the way. Here's how to get a gun in Another Crab's Treasure.
How to get a gun
To give yourself a gun in Another Crab's Treasure, head over to the Settings menu. Navigate to Assist Mode at the bottom of the menu, then scroll to the bottom once more to a setting called Give Kril a Gun. Toggle this on, then back out and resume your game to find that Kril now has a massive pistol on his back in place of a shell.

This new gun on your back provides you with more than just a funny visual, though -- it actually allows you to shoot and kill any enemy in a single hit, nearly eliminating all of the challenge from the game. Additionally, if you're after trophies or achievements, the first time you shoot a crab with the gun will also unlock "This Kills the Crab."
