Coming as a response to ridiculous hacking measures taken by players, Mediatonic’s goal was to pair up cheaters in Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout only with other cheaters. At launch, Mediatonic had built its own cheat detection into Fall Guys, but instead of banning folks who used hacks, the developers carefully gathered data to make sure that the software wouldn’t tag any innocent gamers accidentally. But once the detection threshold for cheaters was opened, hackers who noticed they had been flagged would tell other cheaters....

Thankfully, Mediatonic has now released season two of Fall Guys which brings a fresh battle pass, new costumes to unlock, and four new rounds.

Specifically, we found that: Clinton’s ad falsely implies that Obama supported “special tax breaks for Wall Street” and running up the deficit, and that he opposed minimum wage increases while refusing to deal with the housing crisis. In fact, Obama voted to increase the minimum wage and actually supported some cost-cutting measures that Clinton opposed. Obama’s claim that Clinton flip-flopped on NAFTA is half-true. She did change her position, but she did so long before she began running for president....
