Meet Your Maker, a building-and-raiding game from Behaviour Interactive, is currently running a free open beta
Behaviour Interactive, the team behind the one of the best multiplayer horror games out there — Dead by Daylight — has recently been expanding its roster of games. Most recently, and coming soon, is post-apocalyptic building-and-raiding game, Meet Your Maker.
Meet Your Maker has you become the Custodian of Chimera. This makes you a living experiment, earth’s last attempt at survival, in fact. Your job is to both create and destroy as you try to harvest resources and evolve, constructing Outposts and infiltrating those of enemy players to get by.
The charm of Meet Your Maker, at least to me, is the fact that custom content is encouraged. You can create levels upon levels of dubious deathtraps for other players to try, and can also jump into levels designed by them, too. The game is not just about who can raid and build the best, but also on who can actually learn from and outsmart their opponents.
From Gemma Collins to Liam Gallagher, Bizarre calls out the worst celebrity behaviour of 2022
SO another year has gone – bringing with it another lorryload of showbiz dimwits who do not deserve the trappings of fame and fortune.
In recent years I’ve heralded the start of a new chapter by looking back over the previous 12 months of celebrity shamelessness, calling out the worst offenders in my annual alternative to the New Year’s Honours List.

I guess it’s as close to public service journalism as a gossip columnist really gets.
Every year I receive a raft of appreciative emails from readers who seem to agree it’s exactly what these clowns need to see the error of their ways and start anew.
You’re welcome, folks.
Of course 2022 wasn’t all bad — so this time around I’ve arranged my retrospective into three categories instead . . .
The Good, The Bad and The Smugly.
A handful of honourable Good folk have risen above the madness to reassure us all there is still hope for British showbiz.
Strictly contestant Helen Skelton’s incredible transformation from heartbroken mum-of-three to ballroom siren was heart-warming and inspiring.
And should have left her love-rat ex wondering what he was thinking.
Rising star Tom Grennan’s campaign to keep concerts affordable for fans saw him release tickets for his own tour priced at around £30.
He urged other artists to follow suit, telling me: “I want fans to be able to come and enjoy a gig without worrying that the cost will harm them in other ways.”
Here’s hoping others sit up and take notice.
Quick end
It was a golden year for the wrinkly rockers, with the Rolling Stones hitting the road for an awesome European tour despite the sad loss of drummer Charlie Watts, and Paul Mccartney headlining Glastonbury Festival days after his 80th birthday.
Lewis Capaldi bravely opened up about his Tourette’s syndrome in a move that will help many others.
And Tom Cruise saved cinema after three years of box office misery, with the best action flick of a generation — Top Gun: Maverick, which rightly smashed records and redefined what the big screen can be. In the Bad category, some stars made sure their names were among the first on the team sheet.
Habitual offender Gemma Collins’ decision to team up with Durex for a sex toy range has put me off my cornflakes.
While TV’s shiniest pair of hypocrites Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby showed bad judgment by skipping the queue to pay their respects to the Queen.
Sadly, they failed to pay their respects to disappointed fans with their repeated attempts to cover up their slippery manoeuvre, when a simple and sincere apology could have spelled a quick end to it.
Among the worst additions to the showbiz circus were this year’s underwhelming winners of Love Island, Davide Sanclimenti and Ekin-Su Culculoglu.
A pair of vacuous mannequins whose ludicrous charade sees them endlessly posing for “loved-up” snaps on Instagram to convince fans they are an item, when they actually have all the romantic spark of kissing your nan goodbye after Christmas dinner.
I never thought I’d leap to the Beckham’s defence after they made repeated appearances in my scathing round-ups of previous years.
But one thing you could never fault them for was their commitment to each other as a family.
So it’s a shame to see super-rich Nicola Peltz appearing to drive a wedge through the clan, after marrying professional photographer/bacon sandwich-maker/son Brooklyn Beckham at a lavish ceremony in the US.
Her repeated stirring of the pot lands her firmly among the Bad pile, despite her glamorous looks.
Sick bucket
It just shows . . . it’s what is inside that counts.
Hideous reality TV troll Ferne McCan is also among the bad apples, as is the increasingly desperate Kanye West, endlessly bleating Liam Gallagher and Oscar shocker Will Smith.
Her leaked voice notes slagging off fellow Towie star and supposed pal Sam Faiers exposed her for what she really is, and pulled back the curtain on what happens when you make idiots famous.
Top of the Smugly list are Strictly pair Max George and Maisie Smith, who grew close after hooking up on the show’s live tour.
Sure, ditch your partners and date each other, but do we really need that many nauseating PDAs, all carefully documented across social media in case we hadn’t noticed?
Pass the sick bucket.
So here’s to 2023, a chance for to get in line with everyone else, Davide to admit the only love interest in his life is Davide, and Ferne to get a job in New Look, as nature intended.
Cheers all.
A sharp mind for Knives
DIRECTOR Rian Johnson says he is already working on a new Knives Out film after Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery hit No1 on Netflix.
The whodunnit movie starring Daniel Craig and Kate Hudson has been a huge success and the creator is now looking for some inspiration for a third instalment.
He explained to Wired: “So much of what I’m trying to do, because I’m starting to write the next one, is really just about trying to clear my head and think about what’s on my mind right now.
“Hopefully that translates in some way to what’s on all of our minds right now in terms of culture.”

Rod’s ready for biopic
ROD Stewart says he hopes 2023 will bring news of a biopic about his life – joking that he wants a film in the bag before he “kicks the bucket”.
The Maggie May singer said: “I keep getting offers. But I’ll be the last to do it – even Robbie Williams has one now. I just wish someone would make one before I kick the bucket.”
When asked by Reader’s Digest if there was anything he would be worried about making the cut, Rod added: “I have no skeletons in the closet, as far as I know.”
No, but you have got an awful lot of model trains, Rod.

Risky Online Behaviour Such as Piracy ‘Almost Normalized’ Among Young People, Says Study
Julia Davidson, a co-author of the research and professor of criminology at the University of East London (UEL), said risky and criminal online behaviour was becoming almost normalised among a generation of European young people. “The research indicates that a large proportion of young people in the EU are engaging in some form of cybercrime, to such an extent that the conduct of low-level crimes online and online risk-taking has become almost normalised,” she said.

Blizzard is currently testing voice chat transcriptions in Overwatch 2 to combat “disruptive behaviour”
Blizzard has started testing audio transcription in Overwatch 2 in an effort to fight back against verbal abuse in the game’s voice chat.
In the most recent patch notes for Overwatch 2, Blizzard confirmed that it has begun to roll out its audio transcription feature as a part of its Defence Matrix initiative (thanks, Eurogamer). The feature is only available for PC players in select countries at the moment, so if you’re not seeing it that will be why.
This feature essentially uses audio transcriptions of the voice chat that allows Blizzard to “analyse a transcript from a temporary voice chat recording of a reported player. Players will now see a notification when entering voice chat for the first time during a play session indicating that voice chat may be recorded.”

Watch shocking moment lit fireworks are shot at cops armed with shields as thugs are arrested for ‘reckless behaviour’
HOODED thugs shot fireworks at police down a residential street last night, shocking footage shows.
The explosives narrowly missed the riot squad and often went off by peoples’ homes as officers ran up the road with shields and helmets.
Cops ducked when blasts suddenly exploded and tried to move wheelie bins out of the way of the attackers to stop them going up in flames.
A cloud of smoke surrounded them in the street during a brief pause between the rockets in scenes one resident in Leeds called a “warzone”.
Other footage from inside a house shows fireworks flying past a woman’s window down the street while others explode right outside.
Some cars were also hit and neighbours’ wheelie bins were set alight in ‘Binfire Night’ carnage.

Hooded yobs were filmed as well letting fireworks off as people drove past them down the road.
Gee, 21, who filmed the incident from her home, said “oh my God” after at least 20 fireworks exploded in a matter of seconds by her window.

Another resident said: “It’s a f*cking warzone outside our house.”
Henri Bates, 22, who was sat in his car when the under-attack riot police marched by, wrote: “Mad one in Hyde Park, Leeds. I nearly got my head took off.”
Meanwhile, Merseyside Police detained eight youngsters after reports of fireworks being thrown at cars, as well as criminal damage and obstruction of a road.
Yobs in Manchester also hurled explosives at drivers passing-by, including a fire engine.
Firefighters were targeted again in a separate incident when they were putting out a bonfire.
