The Deciphering the Data quest in Arc Raiders is arguably one of the easiest they added with the new Cold Snap update, but you might still get tripped up by the second part of it. Initially, you’ll have to head to the Spaceport and use the Magnetic Decryptor to interact with a terminal in Fuel Control. Easy enough, but after that terminal fails, you’ll have to locate another in the Arrival Building, which is much more tucked away.Feel free to bring a free loadout to this one considering you don’t need to extract anything. Otherwise, here’s how to complete Deciphering…

Hades 2 didn’t make it onto our Game of the Year ranking—falling short of being our Best Roguelike in lieu of Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor. Despite my best efforts, mind, so I am once again forced to make it my personal pick for the second year in a row. The main thing that set it apart, for the worse, was its saminess.

World of Warcraft housing is finally a reality – well, it is for those that have pre-ordered the Midnight expansion, at least. It’s taken players no time at all to build everything from cozy cottages, to Viking longhouses and ghostly ships that sail through the skies (thank you, floating house glitch). But for those wanting to maximize the space on their plot, there’s been a really frustrating oversight – there’s no visual indication of where the edge of your buildable land is. Well, that’s about to change. The new housing system is already making one of the best MMOs even…

Bryan Fuller is a master of mixing horror, fantasy, and black comedy. After working in television for decades, Fuller’s feature film directorial debut, Dust Bunny, encapsulates all his best qualities as a storyteller.

If you enjoy Dusty Bunny (and you’re a fan of Fuller’s most well-known project, Hannibal) there’s a criminally slept-on series that you need to check out. Dead…
