Five destinations and a trail of dead bodies later, Agent 47’s journey has finally come to an end. There’s only a single target to focus on in Hitman 3‘s final level, but a small army of Providence elite agents stand between 47 and the elusive Arthur Edwards.

Here are all of the Carpathian Mountain train’s assassination challenges and everything you need to do to complete them. For more tips and secrets, be sure to read our Hitman 3 walkthrough and guide hub. Otherwise, check out our other assassination guides below.

Straight Shot

Once you’ve worked your way to Edwards, a limited number of options are available. If you’d prefer to get rid of the Constant the old fashioned way and you happen to have run out of weapons on your way towards the confrontation, some of 47’s signature tools can be found in Edwards’ wardrobe, past where he stands looking in the mirror. A bullet to the head from 47’s silenced pistol, an SMG, or any of the other guns you picked up will earn you the Straight Shot challenge completion. Quick, easy, and to the point.

Losing Everything

For a less lethal approach, Edwards can also be dealt with using the memory-erasing serum that he prepared for 47. Simply pick it up and inject Edwards, and he’ll be rendered helpless. Completely unaware of who 47 is, Edwards is taken off the board with surprisingly little bloodshed, poisoned with his own last resort and allowing you to complete the Losing Everything challenge.

A New Father

As detailed in the Hitman 3 Secret Ending guide, there is another option available. Remain patient after you pick up the serum, and Edwards will tempt you with a chance to become a blank slate again, free from choice. If you choose this option, not only will 47’s quest end on the Providence train, he’ll wake up in a padded cell that is eerily familiar to the one that gamers around the world discovered him in back in 2000. If that’s your choice, you’ll complete the A New Father challenge when 47 resets his entire life’s journey.

Snow Angel

An easy feat to accomplish, as all you have to do is wait for a guard to walk past and push him off the train. A single guard patrols one of the open train compartments after you make your way outside, and with the right disguise on, getting him into position is absolutely easy for the Snow Angel challenge.

Exhibition Shooting

While it’s not the type of assassination that players are used to, shooting a train signal that clearly has it in for you is still satisfying. Simply climb above a carriage, take aim, and squeeze the trigger when you see a signal getting close to 47. One dead train signal later, and you’ll have banked the Exhibition Shooting challenge.

Bullet Train

It’s inevitable that you’re going to run into some stiff resistance on your way towards the front of the train, and you might as well grab the Bullet Train challenge completion along the way. Simply take out guards with an SMG, a shotgun, and a silenced pistols, and you’ll have earned some more points.

Soda Slinger

There’s no shortage of Providence security on the train, and if you’re looking to ensure that they don’t interfere with your final mission then a can of soda to the face is a reliably non-lethal method to make use of. You’ll need to chuck three cans at Providence security guards to finish the Soda Slinger challenge. One can of soda can be found in the back compartment of a carriage, on the seat:

Another can be found on a seat opposite in a room that various gambling items in storage such as a small round poker table:

And the last one can be found on a small table opposite the bar that is guarded by two soldiers discussing local geography:

With all three cans in your possession, there are still several guards on the train whose heads would be the perfect targets to chuck the soft drinks at.

WandaVision on Disney+ is a mystery wrapped in an enigma, but every week we get more hints about the truth.

Death By Toys makes comical one-of-a-kind action figures, like Karate Teacher Who Threw Up, Deadbeat Dad Action Figure–which is an empty box–and All the Babies Your S****y Friends Keep Having. However, some of the most interesting original creations just happen to be a unique take on Simpsons figures: imagining them as if they were real-world humans

From bartender Moe Szyslak to neighbor Ned Flanders, the person behind Death By Toys, Dan Polydoris, originally made the real-life Simpsons figures for an art show at Gallery1988. “I’ve made lifelike figures of cartoon (and video game) characters in the past, and it’s something I love to do,” Polydoris told GameSpot. “I think it’s fun to imagine a cartoon being made into a crappy movie adaptation, and then the movie adaptation being made into a crappy action figure line. It’s also fun to find stock photos that capture the spirit of a particular cartoon character.”

While these Simpsons toys can’t be purchased themselves, Death By Toys produces a lot of comical custom action figures with specialty packaging. Polydoris’s company began its origins in 2013, after his first child was born. He was creating vintage-style NES action figures and found that not only did people like them–there was a demand for them. Eventually, this led to him quitting his job after 15 years to make Death By Toys his full-time gig, a decision that Polydoris said is the best he ever made.

As for the creation of these toys themselves, it doesn’t take an exceptionally long time to make each one. “Some one-off figures I can make in a day or two if I have time,” said Polydoris. “But most are made during the course of a few days or a week while I continue to make inventory for my store or work on the occasional commission I have.

“Most one-off figures I make are actually a combination of repurposed toys and hand-sculpted parts. I love working with existing toys or being able to repurpose something familiar in a brand-new way. When there’s something that I’m in need of that doesn’t exist, I’ll sculpt new parts using a two-part sculpting clay. Once everything is painted, it’s usually impossible to tell which parts are newly sculpted and which parts are repurposed pieces. It all just comes together to make one, cohesive, unsettling piece of junk.”

Death By Toys primarily deals with social and cultural commentary in toy form, all of which is hilarious. If you’re interested, you can pick up some of Polydoris’s creations at the Death By Toys shop.

Actress Brie Larson is kicking off 2021 by signing on to star in a new TV show for Apple TV+. The Oscar-winning Captain Marvel actress will appear in and executive produce the new show Lessons in Chemistry, a 1960s period drama about a single mother who wants to be a scientist but ends up hosting a cooking show.

The TV show is based on the 2022 book from Bonnie Garmus. Larson plays the character Elizabeth Zott. Here is the official description, as relayed by Variety:

“Set in the early 1960s, Lessons in Chemistry follows Elizabeth Zott (Larson), whose dream of being a scientist is put on hold in a society deeming that women belong in the domestic sphere, not the professional one. When Elizabeth finds herself pregnant, alone and fired from her lab, she musters the ingenuity only a single mother has. She accepts a job as a host on a TV cooking show, and sets out to teach a nation of overlooked housewives–and the men who are suddenly listening–a lot more than recipes, all the while craving a return to her true love: science.”

This is the second Apple TV+ show that Larson is attached to, as she’s also lined up to appear in an untitled CIA drama. That show and Lessons in Chemistry were both ordered to series instead of just a pilot or a different commitment.

Susannah Grant, the co-creator of the TV show Unbelievable and writer of the movies Erin Brockovich and Pocahontas, is writing Lessons in Chemistry. It is produced by actor Jason Bateman’s Aggregate Films.

It’s not immediately clear when Lessons in Chemistry and the untitled CIA drama will begin filming, as Larson is scheduled to film Captain Marvel II in 2021, according to reports.

This week on Wrestle Buddies, GameSpot’s professional wrestling podcast, Chris E. Hayner and Mat Elfring are revisiting a short-lived gimmick from the late ’90s that they love too much, and welcome AEW superstar Scorpio Sky and his new podcast co-host, Funhaus’s James Willems.

First, it’s a time warp back to 1998 for the introduction of Man’s Man Steven Regal. Yes, that’s the same person as proper British gentleman William Regal. At one point, he was repackaged as a tough guy that does manly activities like shaving outdoors, chopping wood, and squeezing fresh orange juice. That’s what was considered macho in WWE at the time, for one reason or another.

Next, we welcome AEW’s Scorpio Sky and Funhaus’s James Willems to talk about their new podcast, Wrestling with the Week. During their visit, all manner of topics are discussed, from what video games everyone is playing to Sky’s love of the reality TV show 90 Day Fiance–a show Mat also happens to be obsessed with.

All that, plus we answer your questions. New episodes of Wrestle Buddies are released every Thursday on the podcast platform or app of your choice, including Spotify, Stitcher, and Apple Podcasts. You can also keep up to date with the podcast by following it on Twitter.

After a massive year of acquisitions and investments in 2020, the Chinese internet company Tencent has bought another prominent game studio.

It was confirmed on Friday that Tencent has acquired Klei, the developers of Shank and Don’t Starve. Klei confirmed the buyout in a post on its forums.

“I want to take a moment to announce that we have agreed to deal for Tencent to purchase a majority stake in Klei Entertainment,” the studio said. “As part of this agreement, Klei retains full autonomy of creative and operations across all aspects of the studio, including projects, talent, and more.”

As for what will change, founder Jamie Cheng said he will continue to run the studio and there will be no changes to staffing, projects, and operations, though there will be some “boring accounting changes.”

Cheng said he accepted the buyout so he and his team wouldn’t have to worry about finding new projects and publishers to keep the lights on.

“My wish has been to enable people to do their best creative work, to learn and grow, to not have to worry about finances, and be able to enjoy their lives outside the studio. This has not changed,” he said. “This partnership helps us navigate a changing industry, and helps us focus on what we do best: making unique experiences that no one else can.”

Klei and Tencent had actually been working together already, as Tencent partnered with the studio to launch Don’t Starve Together in China on Tencent’s WeGame platform. Klei and Tencent are also working together on Don’t Starve: Newhome for mobile.

Cheng said Klei is happy to sign with Tencent because the company will allow the studio to “retain the level of control that we demand.”

“We’ve been working with Tencent for years and even at points where we disagreed, they were always willing to work with us to find the best solution for everybody involved and defer to us when we felt strongly,” Cheng said.

A report from Niko Partners showed that Tencent made 31 deals in 2020 related to investments in the games industry, which is three times as many deals as it did in 2019. Its biggest deal was the $1.5 billion buyout of Leyou, the parent company of Warframe developer Digital Extremes.

Some of Tencent’s other moves in 2020 included investing in–but not buying outright–the Japanese studio Platinum Games. Tencent also acquired Conan developer Funcom and bought the GTFO studio 10 Chambers.

Tencent now owns or has invested in a great number of gaming companies. It owns Riot (League of Legends), Grinding Gear Games (Path of Exile), and Supercell (Clash of Clans), while Tencent also owns a piece of Fortnite studio Epic Games. Tencent also has minority investments in Ubisoft, Activision Blizzard, and Bluehole.

Between December 21-27, the top streamed piece of content in the United States was none other than Pixar’s Soul–which was released on December 25 on Disney+. Also making that week’s Top 10 are Bridgerton, The Office, and The Mandalorian.

The Nielsen streaming ratings state that 1.6 billion minutes were viewed for Soul, and while this is for the week of December 21, Soul premiered on Disney+ on December 25, so these numbers account for only three days. The only other Disney+ content that landed on the top 10 was The Mandalorian, as Season 2 came to a close on December 18. Check out the full top 10 list below.

While Wonder Woman 1984 debuted on HBO Max on Christmas as well, the Nielsen ratings do not take into account viewership for that streaming service. In fact, this list only covers Amazon Prime, Disney+, Hulu, and Netflix. Content from HBO Max, Peacock, Apple TV+, and the various other streaming services are not included in the Nielsen ratings.

Taking second place on the list was none other than The Office, which made the jump over to NBCUniversal’s Peacock on January 1 and exiting Netflix that same day. However, the service’s newest original series Bridgerton took the third place spot. Netflix recently boasted that in the first four weeks, the series was seen by 63 million households–keep in mind that watching two minutes of anything on the service counts as a view. Because of its success, Bridgerton has been renewed for a season season.

Because of the popularity of Netflix, along with the amount of content it pushes out on a weekly basis, it should dominate the top 10 for quite some time. However, with The Office’s move to Peacock and Warner Bros. premiering movies on HBO Max, the landscape for streaming dominance will be a vastly different landscape in 2021.

The third movie in the Kingsman franchise, The King’s Man, has been bumped from a March 12 release date to August 20 this year. The move was reported by The Hollywood Reporter, and this film alone is one of many that has had multiple delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic–when it was first announced in 2020, it was expected in theaters September 18 of that year.

Despite being the third movie, it’s actually a prequel set decades before the first two movies in the Kingsman series, and as such, it doesn’t feature star Taron Egerton. It explores the origins of the franchise’s secretive spy organization. Check out the film’s official trailer below.

While the film’s cast doesn’t include Egerton, that’s more than made up for in the star power provided by Ralph Fiennes, Daniel Brühl, Gemma Arterton, Rhys Ifans, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Matthew Goode, and Stanley Tucci. Meanwhile, director Matthew Vaughn will be returning to helm the prequel.

In the same announcement, Disney also indicated that its 20th Century Studios release of the Bob’s Burgers movie has been changed from an April 9 release date to being unset–but have no fear, as The King’s Man once also was reclassified in this manner. We have also seen movies during the pandemic be the opposite of delayed–the recent divisive Monster Hunter movie is one such example of a film having its release date actually moved up.

That’s definitely something to keep in mind and maybe hope for given the avalanche of movie delays that were announced recently, including Morbius, plus the Uncharted movie and Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
