A.J. Dimick sees big things in the future for collegiate esports. “I think college esports has a limitless ceiling, I really do,” Dimick told me over the phone earlier this year. To that end, Dimick, esports director at the University of Utah’s Entertainment Arts and Engineering department, has facilitated the…
Letty’s Sting Ray from The Fate of the Furious showed up as a premium microtransaction in CSR Racing 2 earlier this week. It cost $4.99 to unlock. Or $14.99. Or $34.99. According to Zynga, prices for the premium vehicle were set to random as part of a feature test. Really.
Heroes of the Storm has been going through a lot of changes lately, some small, some the size of a gigantic two-headed ogre. There’s one change that’s disturbed me more and more the more I think about it. They added KDA ratios into the game. Oh god, the KDA ratio!
Here, captured in a three second GIF, is the entirety of the current top-rated Mario Maker course. It’s hilariously bad. How in the world did it climb the ranks, then?
A story went viral last night about an upcoming smartphone app named “Peeple,” which bills itself as being like the popular review service Yelp, except for humans instead of bars and restaurants.

Another game, State of Decay, has been refused classification (read: banned) in Australia. It's the second in two days, and comes despite the country finally getting an adults-only rating last year.
Back in February, word passed that Sons of Anarchy, the biker-gang television series broadcast on FX in the United States, was exploring a video-game deal. It quickly followed that the talks might concern something less than the full retail release hardcore video gamers expected. Like a bullshit free-to-play browser…
Not a day passes we don't get some "rumor," wishful thinking, or outright bullshit about Half-Life 3's imminent arrival. This "tip," sent by "Igor," now adds numerology to the mix. Hell, it's at least as reliable as all the other nonsense we hear.
In this episode of Penn & Teller's Bullshit!, the comedy duo take on "the video game industry's worst nightmare" Jack Thompson, and hand a 9-year-old boy an AR-15 rifle to see if anyone dies.
Magical duo Penn and Teller's Showtime series Bullshit! will focus on the topic of video game violence this week, as long-promised, tapping self-proclaimed video game violence experts who we expect will have insightful and informed perspectives to offer.
This trailer for Penn & Teller: Bullshit - an unabashedly biased take on the talking points of various agenda pushers - puts our favorite disbarred lawyer in the crosshairs in the upcoming season.
Earlier today, a tipster who wished to remain anonymous sent us the above pic, something he claimed was the Samsung "X-Series" LCD TV.
