"Stop sh*tting your pants" says Helldivers 2 boss as it hits 500,000 players

Being the parent of a four-month old child, I deal with a lot of shitty underwear (or, more specifically, diapers) every day. But I didn't expect to have to deal with them at work, too. However, Arrowhead Studios CEO Shams Jorjani has jumped back onto an old Helldivers 2 meme, telling players to "stop shitting your pants" as the game launches on Xbox. Over half a million Helldivers jumped into the game yesterday, all with the sole aim of bringing democracy to every corner of the galaxy - nothing to do with the satisfying sound that the bugs make when they pop, I swear.

Helldivers 2 will send you deep underground in the next major update on September 2

As if the Halo ODST crossover for Helldivers 2 wasn't enough, now we're actually going underground too on Terminid Hive Worlds.

Helldivers 2 от Sony вышла на Xbox Series X|S

Кооперативный шутер Helldivers 2 добрался до Xbox Series X|S. Разработчики Arrowhead Studios с подачи Sony разрешили перенести своё творение на консоли Microsoft. Версией для Xbox Series X|S занималась Nixxes Software, ранее отметившаяся несколькими портами издательства на ПК.

Out very soon, Helldivers 2's giant Terminid caving update is a feast of nods to Aliens and Dune, plus dragons

Helldivers 2's homaging of Starship Troopers and/or parodying of real-life fascist interventionalism continues with Into the Unjust, a sizeable game update that will take you out to the Terminid Hive Worlds for a spot of cave combat. According to multiple geographers interviewed by RPS, caves are located underground. That's going to cause problems if, for example, your entire military strategy depends on being able to call in air support whenever you choose. The same geographers also allege that caves are dark. That's going to cause problems if you like to see the things you're shooting at.

Helldivers 2 Into the Unjust launches 2nd September, and why read the rest of this evidently stupid news piece when you can just watch this seven minute "deep dive" (comedy whoopee cushion sound effect)?
