The Thursday news:

But before the news, a little something. Yesterday I posted a PC Gamer article that was able to see before taken down, not knowing why. Well, turns out that it was taken down because they weren't supposed to publish that, and it has become a leak. I had never witnessed a leak first hand before!

Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy Map Pack for Blade & Sorcery is now available for download
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/star-wars-jedi-knight-jedi-academy-map-pack-for-blade-sorcery-is-now-available-for-download/
Star Wars fans, here is something for you today. Modder Redline90 has released a Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy map pack for the VR game, Blade & Sorcery. Therefore, players can now experience this classic Star Wars game in VR.
Going into more details, the modder has exported the maps from their original files and imported them into Unity. Then, Redline90 applied all the textures by hand. The modder also spent countless hours taking screenshots in-game and comparing against them. Thus, the end result is as close to the vanilla maps as possible.
It’s worth noting that the modder plans to add more maps in the future.
>> You can get it from Nexus Mods.

Get chased by Sirenhead in this creepy Fallout 4 mod
https://www.pcgamer.com/get-chased-by-sirenhead-in-this-creepy-fallout-4-mod/
I've heard of Slender Man (who hasn't) but Sirenhead is a new one to me. A creation of artist Trevor Henderson, Sirenhead is a gangly, forty-foot-tall cryptid whose head is a pole with two large speakers attached. Those speakers blare air raid sirens, emergency broadcasts, static, eerie snatches of music, and garbled conversations as Sirenhead lurches around the landscape doing Sirenhead things.
After its appearance a couple years ago, the internet quickly became fascinated by this creepy creature and Sirenhead has made its way into urban legend territory, which led to its appearance in fan art and games. Including, recently, Fallout 4, where Sirenhead has become a part of the Whispering Hills mod, a Silent Hill overhaul.
