Gremlin D.Va Is Now Overwatch Canon

Gremlin D.Va, one of Overwatch’s most beloved fan creations, is canon now thanks to a new emote on the game’s test server. She’s got her Doritos, Dew, and a custom stream overlay. She’s the hero we deserve and need right now. (Thanks, David!)

Biggest Counter-Strike Betting Site Drops Betting
After Valve’s cease-and-desist letter, the owners of CSGO Lounge held out as long as they could. They even tried to get an official gambling license. It apparently didn’t work.

Serious D&D Player Chugs Wine Underwater To Settle Rules Dispute
Game Masters can be nit-picky sticklers with wands up their butts. It’s a respectable mode for navigating the endless charts and dice rolls and idiosyncratic mechanics of tabletop RPGs. Seriously, I respect you, stickler GMs. Without you, I wouldn’t know the difficulty class for reaching across the table and grabbing…
Charlie's Back At It Again With His Blue Pants!!

I don’t know, man. Don’t ask me why the chicken is wearing blue pants. Don’t ask me where the chicken even got his blue pants. Just enjoy the silly inanity of a chicken running around the yard like a total goofball while wearing blue pants. I don’t know if the chicken likes wearing his blue pants but I know the…
Majora's Mask In-Game Ocarina Is A Surprisingly Versatile Instrument
I wasn’t initially impressed with PuppetMaster9's compilation of popular tunes played using the in-game Ocarina from The Legend of Zelda: Major’s Mask for the 3DS. Then he got to “Baker Street.” Such a sucker for that song.
Pokémon Go Desperately Needs a Bug Bounty System
This past weekend, many Pokemon Go gyms were rendered unplayable. Players trying to battle at sites like Big Ben were greeted not by a ‘mon but by an egg that glitched the game, protecting these gyms from being defeated.

Why Overwatch Players Hate Genji Now
Some relatively minor tweaks aside, Overwatch’s cyborg ninja dragon blender Genji hasn’t changed much since launch. Over the past few weeks, though, I’ve come across dozens of threads begging Blizzard to nerf Genji so hard he starts throwing rubber ducks instead of ninja stars. What happened?
Five Great Books About Video Game Culture
Probably my favorite hobby next to playing video games is reading about people who love and design them. And I’m not talking licensed-by-Nintendo glory stories about CEOs overcoming their mistrust of Crash Bandicoot to make millions—I’m talking books about the rest of us, lovers on MMORPGs, struggling indie devs,…
