This week, hard mode launched for Destiny's Crota's End raid. Along with tougher enemies and lightly remixed battles, hard mode brought the opportunity to win a number of cool new guns. But the rarest of them, a rifle called Necrochasm, appears to be mysteriously missing in action.
There are things inside the new Pokémon games. Cute things, sure. Everyone knows about those. But there are also smaller details, some of which you might have missed, that have interesting and sometimes creepy rumors surrounding them.
Pokémon X & Y are rather happy-go-lucky games—that is, with the exception of a mysterious ghost girl that managed to freak players out last November. You'd think that by now, almost a year after her discovery, we'd know what her deal is...but no. She's still somewhat of an enigma.

The internet, as useful and entertaining as it might be, also has its share of things nobody can explain. Webdriver Torso's strange YouTube videos are just the latest phenomenon that has caught our imaginations.

Thousands and thousands of videos, uploaded nearly every day. Each one is the same, structure-wise: 10 slides of shapes, shown over 11 seconds, over various random tones. Nobody has a clue what the videos are supposed to be, much less who is uploading them or why.
Gather 'round the fire, boys and girls. Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society, I call this story...the tale of the mysterious Pokemon ghost girl.

Through the game's original announcement and since its next-generation console reveal, Activision has steadfastly refused to say if the game was coming to Wii U. The game's executive producer, however, indicated that it may.

The soundtrack to Fez officially released on Friday, at a pay-what-you-like price (with a minimum of $7). Because the entire game is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma, some enterprising folks went and opened the sound files in a spectrogram and, voila, they found even more clues. Or they're Easter eggs,…

Watermelons are bursting at the seams in farms throughout southeastern China, and no one is quite sure what's causing it. Is it chemicals? Freak weather conditions? Or maybe it's just time to prepare for a full-on attack of the watermelons.
