Breath of the Wild players have always taken advantage of the game’s wonky physics, either in speedruns or for fun.

A new glitch allows just that, letting players gain tremendous speeds and blast…

Red Dead Redemption is one of my favorite video games of this decade. As its sequel looms on the horizon, I replayed Red Dead Redemption. I wrote, narrated, and edited this 32-minute short film which summarizes the game’s story with period-appropriate narration.
November’s a month for binging, what with that surplus of Halloween candy and Thanksgiving’s bountiful scraps. As such, Hulu has packed its platform with a slew of series, from Hulu’s own The Bisexual to the debut season of AMC’s Dietland to the entirety of Fox’s perverse Married... With Children. You can also verse…
Nope, it’s not a mistake: This is a 1TB SSD for $140, which is about as cheap as we’ve ever seen one of these, and easily the best deal we’ve seen on one from a name brand like WD. Even if you don’t have a computer to put it in, you could easily use this to build a DIY external SSD on the cheap.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s live events—which feature tough, loot-dropping mercenaries and other challenges—are a day late. Speaking to Kotaku via email, a representative of Ubisoft said that while events are currently not working “the production team is investigating and hopes to have more information on an ETA for a…
Call of Duty’s hardboiled new battle royale mode isn’t a lot like its candy-colored cousin Fortnite except for one thing: players’ gratitude for public transportation. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 players have taken to “thanking the bus driver,” a custom in Fortnite, for transporting them to an island of near-inevitable…
Halloween costumes, full-sized candy bars, and discounted iPads lead off Wednesday’s best deals from around the web.
Every few months or so new vehicles and weapons are added to GTA Online via free updates. These new toys, like the deadly orbital cannon or the powerful flying jet bike, are often used to troll other players or to cause general chaos and destruction.

Today, Katamari Damacy is one of Bandai Namco’s most beloved series, but when its creator Keita Takahashi was trying to bring his quirky idea to life in the early 2000s, he encountered numerous pitfalls along the way, mostly in the form of bureaucratic red tape.
