Animal Crossing: New Horizons Rendered Inaccurate By Dino Discovery

Animal Crossing: New Horizons isn’t an “edutainment” game, but your submissions to Blathers’ museum do carry a lot of real educational value. Both in the owl curator’s explanation and the museum placards, you can learn a lot of interesting details on the donated fish, bugs, and dinosaur fossils. But science can be tricky, and a new dinosaur discovery has rendered one of the Animal Crossing fossils outdated.

As reported by Science News, archeologists recently found the most complete tail bone of a spinosaurus ever recovered. And it shows that the spinosaurus tail was actually much wider than previously believed, making the dinosaur an excellent swimmer comparable to a crocodile.

Amused Animal Crossing fans quickly noticed this doesn’t match up with the spinosaurus fossil found in the game, with its distinctly un-paddle-like tail.

Rocket League Brings Back Limited-Time Modes For The Month Of May

Developer Psyonix has announced that some of Rocket League‘s more-recent limited-time modes, such as Beach Ball and Heatseeker, will return in a month-long event on all platforms starting this May.

The car soccer game will hold a Modes of May event, a special month-long showcase that kicks off on Friday, May 1 with Dropshot Rumble. The LTE, which runs from May 1-4, combines “the action of Dropshot enhanced by the zany power-ups from Rumble.” Modes of May will swap the modes each weekend in the month.

Beach Ball, an LTE where two teams of two contend with a ball that curves and floats around the field, comes back on May 7. May 14 will see Boomer Ball return, though Psyonix said “more [information] on that [mode]” will be revealed as we get closer to the date. Finally, wrapping up Modes of May is Heatseeker on May 21, a fast-paced 3v3 mode where the ball functions as a homing missile and gains speed after every touch.
