Doom Eternal Devs Release A Nice Video Message To Celebrate The Game’s Long-Awaited Launch

Originally due to launch in November 2019, Doom Eternal has finally, at long last, arrived for everyone to play (except Switch owners). To celebrate the release that’s been a long time coming, developers Hugo Martin (game director) and Marty Stratton (executive producer) released a nice video message, thanking the developers for their hard work and more.

“On behalf of everyone at id Software, Bethesda, and everyone who’s worked so hard on this game, we want to take this opportunity to say thanks,” Stratton said. Martin added, “So many great people put in so much work to make this day possible, and we really just want to thank everyone involved.”

Doom Eternal was delayed from November to March to give the team at id Software more time to polish the game, and their efforts appeared to have paid off. Doom Eternal is picking up great review scores across the board, including an 8/10 from GameSpot in our review in progress.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Bug Guide

Deserted islands are usually rife with insects, and your new island adventure in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is no exception. Bugs can be found and caught all over the island at any point during the year. Bugs can be sold for money, given as gifts, donated to the museum, or displayed as furniture. What you do with them is up to you.

To catch a bug, approach it with your net equipped, taking care to hold down A to sneak up slowly. Once you’re within reach, release the A button and your net will spring forward to grab the critter. If you miss, you might be able to nab the bug by mashing the A button, but sometimes bugs will flee. It takes practice, so don’t be discouraged if you find that you’re scaring away more bugs than you’re catching at first.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has a total of 80 insects, which is eight more than in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Below, we go over everything that can affect how and when bugs spawn. You’ll also find a table listing all the bugs we’ve caught so far in both the northern and southern hemispheres, their spawn locations and dates/times, and the number of Bells you get for selling them.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Museum Building Unlock Guide — How To Get The Museum

Animal Crossing: New Horizons wouldn’t be complete without Blathers the owl and his museum. Like in previous games, collecting every type of fossil, bug, and fish is a huge part of the gameplay in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, so having a place to show off your collection is important. The museum fills in that role, showcasing every specimen you have donated in a spectacular way and allowing your villagers and other players to admire your contributions as well.

Below we detail the step-by-step process of building the museum on your island. If you’re curious about how to unlock other buildings, be sure to check out our Animal Crossing: New Horizons guide hub. Otherwise, be sure to read our review in progress.

How To Unlock The Museum

From day one you can start the process of unlocking the museum. On your first day on the island, after the tutorial section, Tom Nook will accept five different fish or bugs. He is gathering these in the hopes that the native flora and fauna on the island will be enough to entice Blathers to move to the island. It works, of course–after handing in the fifth specimen, Blathers will ring Tom Nook and agree to arrive on the island the next day.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Nook’s Cranny Building Unlock Guide — How To Build The General Store

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the first official building you can construct on your island is Nook’s Cranny, a small shop that provides more options than what is on sale inside the Resident Services tent. Here, Timmy and Tommy sell a number of different furniture, wallpaper, and flooring options that change every single day. Basic tools, DIY recipes, medicine, tree saplings, and flower seeds are also for sale.

Below we detail the step-by-step process of unlocking Nook’s Cranny on your island. If you’re curious about how to unlock other buildings, be sure to check out our Animal Crossing: New Horizons guide hub. Otherwise, be sure to read our review in progress.

How To Unlock Nook’s Cranny

On the second day you play the game, Tommy will ask you to help him and his brother build a general store on the island. To do so, you will need to collect a lot of natural resources: 30 wood, 30 softwood, 30 hardwood, and 30 iron. You can get all the wood types by hitting trees with a flimsy axe, which won’t cut down the trees, and you can hit rocks with either an axe or a shovel to get iron. We recommend using a shovel and digging two holes behind you before you start hitting the rock; you get more materials out of a rock if you hit it multiple times in quick succession, so bracing yourself beforehand will eliminate recoil and the need to readjust. You should be able to hit the rock eight times and get eight resources out of it if you do it right.
