Elden Ring Streamer Who Plays With Her Mind Needs "11 Hours Of Straight Training"

Elden Ring is undoubtedly a Game that makes you use your mind. Not necessarily to solve puzzles and riddles, but even during the most basic combat instances. Knowing an enemy's attack patterns, when to block, when to roll, and when to back off are all essential if you want to sit on the Elden Lord's throne. And, while we need to use our brains for this, it can only be implemented via our hands on the controller – like every video Game ever made.

However, streamer Perrikaryal has been working toward changing this formula. Last month, we reported on how the streamer has been trying to play Elden Ring via her mind, using an EEG – a device that can track and record brain activity. This is then converted to keystrokes, used to control The Tarnished. It seems like something out of a sci-fi movie, but it's just Science, and mastery over your mind – mastery that comes with hours of training

Perrikaryal holds a Master's degree in psychology, which explains how she knows how to use the EEG (thanks, GamesRadar). While the streamer is currently only able to attack using this method, she has been training herself rigorously in order to gain full control of The Tarnished; sometimes "maybe 11 hours of straight training."

However, it's not easy to train your brain in such a way. The streamer admitted that at times it works fine, and other times it just won't. "You can train the software as much as you want, but you're not always guaranteed that you're going to be doing the same thing," she said. "Sometimes I absent-mindedly tap my foot, and that completely messes up the whole thing, because it adds a little 'squiggle' somewhere else."

Perrikaryal went on to mention that the mind isn't the only thing that needs training; even an unconscious tap of the foot could cause things to go haywire. Naturally, this is as physically draining as it is mentally. We've seen some impressive feats when it comes to Elden Ring – including acoustic guitars and dance mats, but if Perrikaryal can pull this off, it will be one of the most iconic feats in gaming History.

The Last Of Us Show Confirms How The Virus Spread

HBO's The Last Of Us is well and truly off and running now, its second episode airing on Sunday night. That episode confirmed a fan theory regarding how exactly the cordyceps fungus was able to spread so quickly. Be warned if you haven't seen the first two episodes of the show, the rest of this article is teeming with pretty significant spoilers. Just hours after the show premiered nine days ago, fan theories started to swirl pointing to contaminated flour being the root of what quickly becomes an effectively world-ending pandemic. That theory was confirmed to be accurate during the opening few minutes of episode two. Another flashback, this time in Indonesia, during which a mycologist examines a flour factory worker infected by cordyceps.

MTG's Phyrexia: All Will Be One Card Lets You Kill Your Opponent In Just Two Turns

Magic: The Gathering’s next set, Phyrexia: All Will Be One, is currently being previewed. While we’ve seen all kinds of big, splashy cards, the one that’s given players the fear is, of all things, a tiny little Goblin Warrior. With just three cards and two lands, Cacophony Scamp can wipe an opponent out as early as turn two. Even more scarily, this combo works in both Modern and Pioneer, where it could give birth to a new take on the deck known as Hammer Time. RELATED: Magic: The Gathering – Phyrexia: All Will Be One Previews As noted on Reddit, Cacophony Scamp is an unassuming 1/1 Goblin Warrior costing just one red mana. It doesn’t have haste, but it does have two big upsides: it can sacrifice itself once it’s dealt combat damage, and when it dies, it deals damage equal to its power to any other target. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY With these two abilities, Cacophony Scamp becomes an absolute fiend when...

Mortal Kombat 11 Fans Discover Hidden Voice Line Four Years After Launch

Mortal Kombat 11 will be four years old in April, and fans are still making new discoveries. The latest is one that was teased by NetherRealm Studios senior designer Aaron Davis back in 2020, three years ago, and as it turns out, he was hinting at a hidden voice line. "For people who like hidden stuff in MK Game s, there's something in MK11 I put in that hasn't been found yet from what I can tell," Davis tweeted (as reported by Euro Game r). "Only hint I'll give is it's done inside a match and it's been there since day 1, so not DLC related." RELATED: Marvel’s Midnight Suns' Abbey Is The Perfect Mix Of Hades And Mortal Kombat YouTuber Waz, on February 19, revealed that, after four years, the mystery had finally been cracked, and it's an old-school style easter egg.
