For decades, Pontiac seemed to do no wrong. The brand built honest, fast, and affordable muscle cars, from the golden-era GTO to the Trans Am made famous by Bo "Bandit" Darville and KITT in Knight Rider. By the late 2000s, though, Pontiac was fighting for relevance. Then came a car that should have changed everything: the 2008–2009 Pontiac G8 GXP. It was effectively a four-door Corvette,...

I've been spending way too many nights exploring every corner of Pharloom since Silksong landed, and I thought I had seen most of what Team Cherry tucked into this massive world. Then I wandered into the Far Fields and got grabbed by that armored flea. You know the one: a heavily armored flea swinging a cage like a weapon. It slams that cage down over you, the screen fades to black, and you...

When players step back into the sprawling kingdom of Pharloom in 2026, the Crawbug Clearing Wish quest remains one of those sneaky tasks that is easy to overlook. Hornet's journey through Hollow Knight: Silksong is packed with optional content, but this particular side quest acts as a quiet gate: completing every Wish in the first two Acts is required to unlock the hidden Act 3 through the Silk...

Let me be real with you: Groal the Great is one of those bosses that made me question every life choice that led me to Bilewater. This big, grouchy lump lives in the top area of Bilewater, a swampy, dark corner of Pharloom that feels like it was designed by someone who really wanted to test your patience. Poison lakes everywhere, enemies that hit like trucks, platforming that punishes every...

I’ll just say it: I’m a big video game guy, and I’m so good at video games. Silksong? Easy. I’m not like other gamers — I don’t struggle. Okay, time to get real. Hollow Knight is a hard game, and Silksong is no walk in the park either. When I first played Hollow Knight seven years ago, I got my butt handed to me on a silver platter. Partly because I...

I recently revisited the Little Nightmares 3 demo in 2026, months after the full game landed on October 10, 2025. The first time I played, I was not ready for how quickly the demo drops you into its suffocating atmosphere. The second time, I still flinched. The opening 30 minutes take you through a slice of the Necropolis, a place that feels ancient and hungry. A Monster Baby stalks the area,...

Deep beneath the metallic spires of Pharloom, Hornet's journey turned away from the Citadel's main halls and into the quiet machinery of the Cogwork Core. There, an unmarked questline waited like a half-remembered hymn. It began not with a dramatic call to arms, but with the sound of bells. To uncover the full story of the Second Sentinel, she first had to gather the three scattered pieces of...

Last week, in my 2026 run of Hollow Knight: Silksong, I stood before Bellhart's Wishwall and accepted a Gather wish that sounded simple enough: find Silver Bells. The prompt mentioned tunnels above and below Bellhart, so I slid through one route, climbed out the far side, and found nothing. That first empty-handed trip felt like combing a spiderweb for dew at noon—everything looked right,...

The kingdom of Pharloom had barely settled into its rhythm when Team Cherry spoke again. It was the first week after Hollow Knight: Silksong finally escaped into the wild, and players were still counting their deaths against Moorwing. That first patch had arrived like a merciful hand, trimming the thorns for the early game. But the second patch, numbered 1.0.28626, carried a different message:...

Some cars are built for gentle weekend cruises. The 1998 Dodge Viper GTS GT2 Champion Edition was not one of them. Dodge has a long history of tearing up motorsport rulebooks. The 426 Hemi did it in 1965, and by 1998 Team Viper was doing it again on the international stage. This particular street car was not created to satisfy a boring homologation checklist. The race car came first, proved its...
