Smash Bros. Creator Talks of Satoru Iwata’s Funeral

July 16th and 17th were the wake and funeral of former Nintendo president Satoru Iwata. There’s no way Kirby and Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai was not going to attend. In his column in Weekly Famitsu, Sakurai, who had previously offered his perspective on what sort of man Iwata had been, recalled his experience at…

My review of the new King’s Quest.

An Evangelion Masterpiece

Kyonghwan “Tahra” Kim is a freelance concept artist and illustrator from Korea. Good thing he’sgot a book collecting his work already, because it saves me asking for one. You can see more of Kim’s work at his personal site and ArtStation page To see the larger pics in all their glory (or, if they’re big…

Damn.

Mad Max: Fury Road meets Fallout 4. It’s a predictable mash-up, but fucking hell, ✪ King Mrakobez did it up in grand style. The Steam Community Showcase is a regular look at the cream of the Steam community’s boundless crop. Art, videos, guides—whatever. Each installment highlights a specific piece or person. If you find anything…

RIP Microsoft Solitaire, 1990-2015

A screenshot from the Windows 10 version of Solitaire, taken by my friend @Andrew_Cycle. He captions it: “Our dystopian society is even more nightmarish than any sci-fi author predicted.” PC Gamer notes that this version of Solitaire—which comes bundled with the OS once more—plays ads that “run over the full Solitaire window, some for 15…

Rocket League Can Be America’s Secret Gateway To Soccer

Football (or, soccer) is the biggest sport on Earth. Everyone plays it, everyone gets it, everyone loves it. Everyone, that is, except for Americans. That’s a gross generalisation, of course. I know plenty of Americans who love football, and plenty of Europeans or Latin Americans who don’t. But if we’re being general, then my opening…

It’s Yennefer of Vengerberg From The Witcher 3

We’ve seen some good Witcher cosplay lately—unsurprising, given the love folks have for the characters and their snappy outfits—but you don’t see many people trying to take on Yenn. Cosplayer Niamash doesn’t give a shit, though, and along with photographer Catherine Badulina took it on and killed it in this shoot. You can see some…

Counter-Strike Bot Saves The Day, Becomes Match MVP

Watch as an Oliver Bot shows the humans how it’s actually done. God damn. In this footage by cs:go we can bear witness to a Counter-Strike bot who wins a match almost entirely on his own (the camera follows the bot the entire time, for those of you that are new to CS). Oliver’s savage…

Player Discovers Serious Sam‘s Deepest Secret 14 Years After Release

Serious Sam was released in 2001, but the game’s been hiding a secret for more than a decade. A player wasn’t able to put it together until they were hired by the game’s developer and asked the CEO for help. One of original game’s two hidden levels is called Sacred Yards. Like most stages in…

Notorious Team Fortress 2 Hacker Says He Regrets What He’s Done

A couple days ago, the Team Fortress 2 community came across a video of a notorious hacker getting a taste of his own medicine. They were ecstatic. Responses ranged from “serves him right” to “fuck that guy.” The hacker goes by the handle Max Box, and—despite the fact that he’s created a veritable infamy factory…

You Will Never Be As Good As These Rocket League Players

The sooner we all accept this, the sooner we can all move on. Even as I’ve become more and more comfortable with Rocket League, scanning YouTube for highlights quickly reminds me that I’ll never, ever approach what some people are pulling off. The score above is courtesy of Fyshokid, currently fifth on the ranked 3v3…

A Messed-Up Game Where You Play A Disturbing Clown

I’m not the type of person who is terrified by clowns. But Dropsy the clown…Dropsy is another matter entirely. There’s just something unsettling about this adventure game. It’s hard to put a finger on it. Maybe it’s the way Dropsy hugs everything, living or not—and the animation highlights his buttcrack. Or maybe it’s just…his entire…face?…

Why Murky Is My Favorite Heroes Of The Storm Character

If MOBA players had meetings similar to the AA, I could imagine people introducing themselves by saying, “Hi, I’m PufferMan388, I’m a toxic mid main, and I hate the cancer fish known as Fizz.” Or perhaps, “I’m DrunkmasterDave, I live in top lane, and I am on a crusade to take down the satanic menace…

Five Nights at Freddy’s Creator Responds To Haters In The Best Way

Scott Cawthon, the creator of Five Nights at Freddy’s, knows perfectly well how his series has been received by the public. There are plenty of fans who adore the games, sure. But there’s also a growing backlash spearheaded by people who think Cawthon is just pumping out games to cash in on his success. Some…
