Xbox Series X Is Getting "Wraps" To Customize The Console, Starting With Starfield

Compared to the PS5 with its console covers, options to dress your Xbox Series X up have been virtually non-existent since it first launched in November 2020. At long last, options are here for the tower-shaped console, as Xbox Series X console wraps have been officially revealed. These wraps are designed to be more sustainable than purchasing a limited-edition console–see the Halo Infinite Xbox Series X for example–with prices ranging from $45 for the Mineral Camo wraps and $50 for the Starfield wrap. The Starfield wrap also the Starfield controller and headset that recently launched.

Zelda- Tears Of The Kingdom – Mayaumekis Shrine Puzzle Guide

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has a wide variety of shrines to visit and solve, and they’re all creative in their own ways. But none of them harken back to being a kid as much as Mayaumekis Shrine, reminding us all of what it was like bouncing on a trampoline (or a bed, perhaps) by asking you to do the same along some ship sails. We’ll tell you how to reach the end below.

How to solve the Mayaumekis Shrine puzzle in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

When you first enter Mayaumekis Shrine, look through the gate and shoot the switch to the right of the door to open it.

Head up the steps on the right and bounce up a few ships until you reach a spot with a ship going in circles. If you look up and to the left, you’ll spot a small platform jutting out from the wall in the corner, which is where you’ll find this shrine’s chest. Bounce on the moving ship when it’s closest to that platform, then glide over to the c…

Nagasaki Prefecture to access trio of potential casino license race runners

In Japan and a local consortium known as The Niki and Chyau Fwu (Parkview) Group has reportedly confirmed that it has lodged an official bid for the right to build and run the integrated casino resort being planned for Nagasaki Prefecture.

According to a report from Inside Asian Gaming, the Tokyo-headquartered entity is a joint enterprise of Asian construction giant The Hong Kong Parkview Group Limited and Japanese hotel operator The Niki Company Limited and it is now hoping that its proposal will be enough to see it selected as the Kyushu jurisdiction’s preferred operating partner.

Suggested scheme:

Nagasaki Prefecture is home to approximately 1.3 million people and it is reportedly eager to win one of Japan’s coming trio of 40-year casino licenses so as to be able to bring a Las Vegas-style facility to a 74-acre plot of land located next to its Huis Ten Bosch theme park. However, the source detailed that the jurisdiction is first bei…
