James Hobson of The Hacksmith attempted to build a giant mechanical spider called “the world’s largest rideable hexapod”. It was his passion project and started out as three-month build but eventually took a year and a half of failures, breakdowns, and rewrites.
His inspiration came from a video of a Princess Auto excavator which was capable of orienting itself by using the bucket to stand up and maneuver.
But this project was too ambitious from the start. Unfortunately, it was too big to function correctly, but definitely a great attempt to bring fantasy to reality.

Marvel Snap will get its long-awaited PVP Battle Mode on January 31, provided there are no last minute issues. It will arrive as a part of the Version 1.0 update.
This mode will see two opponents facing off against each other through multiple rounds. Both players will start with 10 health and the goal is to cut the other player’s health to 0 before they do the same to you.
Also, decks are locked throughout the entire battle, so it will benefit players to pay attention to what cards are played so they can know what they’ll be up against in future rounds. Another strategy is to hold a card back until a future round to surprise surprise your opponent.
However, this is just the start of Marvel Snap’s Battle Mode, and players can only face off against others in their same matchmaking region, global matchmaking will be on its way a bit later.
