Fall Guys is now in Fortnite's battle royale mode for a limited time https://o.aolcdn.com/images/dims?image_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fs.yimg.com%2Fos%2Fcreatr-uploaded-images%2F2024-08%2Fb4692210-5415-11ef-9e7f-fd7faa2b8dd3&resize=1400%2C787&client=19f2b5e49a271b2bde77&signature=ac585f0dc3e64d62d1a71607abf5f6602cc68a28 Epic Games has brought two of its tentpole titles together in a fun way: Fall Guys has come to the Fortnite island for a limited time. A familiar-looking obstacle course has appeared in the skies above the sprawling battle royale arena. It'll be there until August 15. If you happen to find a Bean Idol in the Classy Courts area of the map, your character will be transported to the obstacle course and turned into a Fall Guys bean (which, fact fans, is canonically six feet tall). If you're using an original Fortnite character rather than a licensed one, your bean will look like that skin. Otherwise, you'll have a default naked bean. You'll revert back to your regular more-boring humanoid look when you finish the course. You'll have up to three attempts to finish the course but you can only complete it once per match. Once the course is in the storm, though, it'll be inaccessible. There's a 120-second time limit and if you fall off, you'll respawn at a checkpoint or the start of the course. The faster you finish, the better the loot you'll get. So if you're good at Fall Guys, you'll suddenly be at an advantage in Fortnite. Finish in under 50 seconds and you'll get gold loot, likely making it easier for you to destroy those pesky Cybertrucks. There are quests you can complete for cosmetics like a Fall Guys bean-inspired back bling too. Fall Guys is also now part of Fortnite's creative mode. There are a few pre-built islands you can check out that have new versions of iconic Fall Guys stages, including an unlimited version of Hex-A-Gone. You'll be able to build your own Fall Guys-themed islands in Fortnite too and publish them for others to check out. Whenever you're playing on these islands, your character will be in bean form. Meanwhile, Epic has enabled proximity chat in creator-built islands. It'll be interesting to see that become available in battle royale modes eventually, as it could add an interesting wrinkle to gameplay. This article originally appeared on Engadget at
The second-gen Ring Indoor Cam is 50 percent off for Prime members ahead of Amazon Prime Day https://o.aolcdn.com/images/dims?image_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fs.yimg.com%2Fos%2Fcreatr-uploaded-images%2F2024-07%2F42e5a7d0-3fa7-11ef-bd7b-bc106233fc07&resize=1400%2C787&client=19f2b5e49a271b2bde77&signature=0a0165680fe5bcaf244cc3f98f6bc997a42379cb Here's a solid offer for Prime members who are looking to beef up their home security without waiting for Amazon Prime Day to roll around. You can scoop up a second-gen Ring Indoor Cam for $30, which is 50 percent off the usual price. This is one of the best Prime Day deals on security cameras that we've spotted so far — it's a record low for the Ring Indoor Cam. The latest model of the camera allows you to get a live look at what's going on in your home from wherever you are with 1080p HD video. There's color night vision support as well. When the Ring Indoor Camera detects movement, you'll get a real-time alert. You'll be able to select the area of coverage so you only get a heads up about significant movement. You can receive notifications via your phone or an Echo smart speaker and watch video from the camera on an Echo Show. One handy feature will let you rewind the footage to a few seconds before an incident that triggered a motion event took place. This advanced pre-roll function will help you get a better understanding of what happened, Amazon suggests. The camera comes with a swivel mount, so you can place it on a wall. But you'll need to be judicious about positioning. The camera is not battery-powered so you'll have to plug it into an outlet. If you subscribe separately to the Ring Protection Plan, you'll be able to record all videos and review stored footage for up to 180 days (but just seven days for still images). You'll have the option of sharing videos too. The deal is part of a broader sale on Ring gear. Your Prime Day Shopping Guide: See all of our Prime Day coverage.
