Pulling Off the Perfect Gamer Prank This Holiday Season (Thanks to the $39.99 Fire Stick Deal)

 

What’s up parents of gamers, friends of gamers, fellow gamers, and cereal‑eating space cadets! If you’ve been scratching your head trying to figure out how to give your favorite gamer a gift that’s both budget‑friendly and unforgettable, I’ve got you covered + an extra dose of... fun! Not only will this idea save you some cash, but it’ll also deliver a prank worthy of holiday highlight reels. Let's dive in!

The Setup: Grab A Fire Stick That Doubles as a “Mini Xbox”

If money’s tight this season but you still want to hook up your gamer with something that keeps on giving, here’s the play: grab the Amazon Fire Stick 4K Max (currently rocking that sweet $39.99 deal).

Why this little stick of streaming magic? Because it’s not just for Netflix binges and Prime Video marathons—it can also moonlight as a... mini Xbox. Thanks to the Xbox Game Pass app, you can pair an Xbox controller via Bluetooth, log in, and boom... it’s game time! First month of Game Pass is only $1 for new subs, so you’re basically unlocking a treasure chest of games for pocket change. The gaming action doesn't stop there... because you also have access to Prime Gaming for free + games from your GOG and Ubisoft library, and EA. That's a win!

The Prank: Holiday Mischief, Gamer Edition

 Here’s how you pull it off: 

1. Stage the Scene

• Plug in the Fire Stick (set it up).
• Open the Xbox Game Pass app.
• Mute it just in case
• Let it sit until the screen saver kicks in.

2. Cue the Target

• Have your gamer wander into the living room.
• Casually suggest watching something festive.

3. The Reveal

• Hit the back button on the Fire Stick remote.
• Boom. The Xbox Game Pass logo pops up.
• Act completely clueless: “Uh… what’s this doing here?”

4. Watch the Confusion Unfold

• Your gamer will start scanning the room for a console that doesn’t exist.
• Let the suspense build.

5. Deliver the Punchline

• Option A: Keep the mystery alive and let them stew before the controller reveal.
• Option B: Just hand them a gift wrapped Xbox controller and watch their brain explode.

Multiple colors to choose from... 23% OFF!

This holiday season, don’t just give a gift—create a memory. The Fire Stick prank is the perfect blend of budget‑friendly mischief and genuine joy + laughs. Whether you let the confusion linger or go for the big reveal, you’ll have a story worth retelling... or showing if you get it on video.

So grab that $39.99 Fire Stick deal, set up your camera, and get ready to prank like a pro.

Enjoy the laughs, enjoy the games, and most importantly—enjoy the holidays.

FTS: "Train Sim World 6" Out Now on PC, PlayStation & Xbox

 

Expect the Unexpected: Train Sim World 6 Launches Today with New Trains, Random Events & the Return of the Free-to-Play Starter Pack

KENT, England - Sept. 30, 2025 -  Expect the unexpected in Train Sim World 6, out now! This latest edition of the ultimate train simulation series launches today on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as PlayStation and Xbox systems, featuring a roster of new trains on three new routes, plus unpredictable new features to keep new and long-time players on their toes!

One of the community's most requested features, toggleable Random Events and Train Faults have been introduced for the first time in Train Sim World 6, ensuring no two services ever feel the same. Players will need to stay alert to overcome unpredictable challenges, ranging from wiper and headlight failures, to diesel engine stalls and signal delays. The game will guide players through resolving these unexpected events to get back under way and on to their destinations.

New content continues in the form of new routes and trains. NJ TRANSIT®’s Morristown Line introduces the New Jersey suburbs in both ageing and modern traction. UK conductors will experience the thrill of coastal running along the Riviera Line, often described as one of the most beautiful stretches of railway in Britain. And in Europe, players can drive beyond the horizon between Dresden and Leipzig, Europe’s largest railway station, with a full variety of freight, passenger, high-speed and shunting services available.

For the first time, brand-new trains will be available in the Deluxe Edition of Train Sim World 6 for all three routes: the much-requested CrossCountry Voyager, dual-power ALP-45 locomotive and hefty BR 294 shunter. The Special Edition includes all content from the Standard and Deluxe Editions, plus five back-catalogue routes and their respective trains spanning a wider selection of countries, including Austria, the Netherlands and Wales.

Adding to the immersion is the full implementation of passenger and platform announcements, with station stops and train departures audibly declared in the three core routes. Dynamic passenger ambience has also been added, which varies based on the number of passengers on the train.

Matt Peddlesden, Train Sim World 6’s Executive Producer: “We can’t wait for everyone to get their hands on the new content in Train Sim World 6. Random Events and Train Faults are going to really spice things up for both new and existing players, and the return of the Free Starter Pack means more people than ever can experience the joy of train simulation.”

Also available today is the Train Sim World: Free Starter Pack. This includes steam, diesel and electric locomotives within the Training Center demo route, along with tutorials and tasks to complete. This can be downloaded for free until November 11, 2025, to keep permanently. It does not contain the three core routes or new features.

Players of paid and free versions of the game can look forward to new add-on content in the coming months with several Train Sim World 6 add-ons announced, covering routes in new countries such as Portugal and Czechia, plus the eagerly awaited arrival of the first Japanese route: the Tadami Line.
