ECKVA Update 3: Technical Difficulties

Technical

ECKVA Network has been seeing a few more developments since the last update. At long last, I have the time to sit down and continue my coverage of the dodgy network. We still don’t know the identity of the mysterious broadcaster behind everything. And SHawkins remains very secretive for anyone’s benefit, let’s take a look at the major case notes before going further:

  • SHawkins is the current uploader of the Youtube videos in the ECKVA channel and is a Person of Interest to ECKVA
  • ECKVA Network has been out of commission for quite some time.
  • Preaxin seems to be a sort of drug that either helps combat insomnia or is an anti-depressant. Hawkins also has been taking these pills while ECKVA was still active.

IMPORTANT SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

After ECKVA 4, things went quiet from both ends. SHawkins stopped updating for a little bit and there were no new uploads or semblance of activity until February 15. This time we see what looks like a normal ECKVA program (With a far from friendly face popping up). The broadcast is interrupted to bring an “Important Service Announcement”.

The transcript of the message shows some disturbing advice for this “Public Service Announcement”:

Normal ECKVA service has been interrupted to bring you an important service announcement. There will be a knock at the door. Do not open it. Stay inside today and watch TV. This is very important. This is very important. Keep looking at me. Keep looking at me. Keep- keep[cuts off]

The very first takeaway from this situation is the fact that Mr. Hawkins seems to be getting the transmissions remotely from a setup. However, this doesn’t seem important at first. Regardless of such, SHawkins pops back into the Twitter fray to reveal his plans to go and fix his setup.

His Twitter Profile Picture soon updates to that of a very old and quite uncared house. Not only that but he also follows another Twitter for an Atlanta News Channel. This could imply that this is the workplace of SHawkins.

Fixing technical issues, ECKVA Responds immediately.

We see SHawkins reaching the very old house and he gives us a description of the place in ECKVA 6. There, he corrects the issue which is some faulty wiring in his setup.

However, it seems another transmission from ECKVA Network has been picked up after SHawkins left. And it seems like the broadcaster knew about the presence of SHawkins. Wondering if SHawkins is “Sorry for leaving” in their own words. [WARNING: DISTURBING IMAGE. WATCH AT YOUR OWN RISK]

It doesn’t help the fact that the MarbleHornets (Or ECKVA) Twitter retweeted SHawkins’ video as well.

Meanwhile, some users on Twitter have a small talk with SHawkins himself. One was a less-than-successful question about how SHawkins inherited the house (With Hawkins responded that “He Drove”). However, another user speculated that this faulty wiring incident was not an accident but rather, an act of tampering. And Hawkins believes that this is the case as well.

CONCLUSION: SHawkins is in Danger.

In case it wasn’t obvious enough, the ECKVA broadcaster seems to be an individual far from friendly. They have expressed increased interest in SHawkins and these broadcasts feel more and more directed towards Hawkins than anything.

At least now we know the origin behind most of the broadcasts. As SHawkins’ remote setup is the responsible for such. Who would’ve thought that the ECKVA signals could be picked up easily by a crude setup? It almost seems too convenient, don’t you think?

I always wanted to be a journalist who listens. The Voice of the Unspoken and someone heavily involved in the gaming community. From playing as a leader of a competitive multi-branch team to organizing tournaments for the competitive scene to being involved in a lot of gaming communities. I want to keep moving forward as a journalist.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
