Like most subscription-based massively multiplayer online role-playing games, The Elder Scrolls Online includes 30 day free game time with purchase, but in order to access that 30 free days, one first has to set up a subscription, and that’s got some of the game’s players in an uproar. Tomorrow morning at 8 AM Eastern, players…

Look Kids, It’s The First 3D Mobile Adventure Time Game
While Finn, Jake and friends showed up as 3D card battlers in Adventure Time: Card Wars, the rest of their games (browser-based not included!) have been confined to two dimensions. The upcoming Adventure Time: Time Tangle gives the Land of Ooo some much-needed depth. Want to see? Abraham Lincoln seems to be involved, as well…

The Saturday Morning Stream: The Titanfall Disaster [And We’re Done]
My original plan for today’s Saturday Morning Stream was to play Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F on my PlayStation 3. Then my PlayStation 3 killed itself. Titanfall it is! As you will soon see, I am not good at Titanfall. Really it’s any competitive online shooter, with the possible exception of Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden…

The iPad Version Of Hearthstone Is Live (In Canada, Australia)
Blizzard’s free-to-play competitive card game was made to be played on a tablet, and now iPad owners in Canada, Australia and New Zealand can do just that. Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft for the iPad is live there, and coming soon everywhere else. I’ve downloaded the game from my fake Australian account (Luke vouched for me),…

That Vita Game With The Talking Dogs Comes Out June 3
When you’re really excited about an upcoming game, it sometimes helps to completely wipe any trace of it from your memory, as I did with PlayStation Vita Pets.“Oh yeah, that game!” is slated for release next month in Europe and June in North America. I’m so excited I could forget again. In case you were…

The Princess Zelda Statue I’ve Been Waiting For
First 4 Figures has produced some amazing pieces in its The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess line — the Link on Epona statue is gorgeous, and themassive Ganondorf is the centerpiece of my gaming statue collection — but there’s been something missing, until now. Finally, we have Princess Zelda. So wise and regal and just…

It’s Getting Pretty Intense Up In The Wolf Among Us Episode Three
Telltale Games has released the spoiler-filled trailer for A Crooked Mile, episode three of The Wolf Among Us adventure game, and man does it make me want to stop writing this and play episode two. Not only has the series done a great job of capturing the spirit of the comic book series it’s based…

Everything Wrong With The Captain America Movie Only Takes 12 Minutes?
With Captain America: Not A Condensed Origin Story hitting theaters later this week, it’s time to reflect on all the things the first movie got wrong. Or jut skim over them, because 12 minutes is way too short. Cinema Sins, you slackers. I’m not saying Captain America: The First Avenger was a horrible film; I…

Transformers‘ Rock Icon Channels The ’80s With “Thunder In Your Heart”
After years spent trying to update his sound, Stan “The Touch” Bush finally realizes that he was born to create ’80s rock, no matter the decade. Horrible CG Transformers do battle to the tune of “Thunder in Your Heart.” This is the music Stan was born to make. He does not need to try and…

Adventure Mode Is My New Favorite Way To Play Diablo III
Farewell, Diablo III story mode. You had a nice long run, but now that I’ve completed Reaper of Souls‘ fifth chapter, there’s no reason for me to replay you ever again. It’s adventure time! At first glance the Reaper of Souls expansion for Diablo III felt really light on content. The largely uninspired Act V…

Street Fighter‘s Ken Cut From The Tournament For Obvious Reasons
With Ryu making the roster despite serious translation issues, there’s absolutely no use for Ken in Pete Holmes’ Street Fighter tournament. Dhalsim‘s out. Vega is out. Chun-Li has been creeped on and asked to put on pants. So far this is looking like a very Ryu-centric tournament Pete Holmes is putting together. I’m having a…

CultureThere Really Is A Cheetos Perfume, And It Is Atrocious.
It’s no joke. Tomorrow the fine folk of Frito-Lay will be taking to the streets of L.A. and New York City to promote Cheeteau, the official fragrance of Cheetos. They sent me a bottle in advance, and… oh god, it’s leaking. *coughs* EVERYTHING SMELLS LIKE CHEETOS. You may have seen the video ad for this…

Today In The Elder Scrolls Online: Snack Time Of The Damned
I watched this guy eat bread for ten minutes. Then I tried to jump on his head, and was thrown into nothingness. Some helpful people suggested I try the /reloadui command. This did not work. Another suggested /stuck, which killed me, reducing the durability of my items, and then respawned me back into nothingness. Several…

Crazy Stunts Like These Are the Best Reason to Keep Playing GTA V
Every time I think I’m ready to relegate Grand Theft Auto V to the video game archive closet, another insane video stunt montage is released, and I’m drawn right back in.

My Elder Scrolls Online Journey Has Begun
Meet Rande. He’s a level 5 Khajiit Nightblade named after my dead cat. He’ll be my representative in the world of Tamriel as I spend the next several weeks playing The Elder Scrolls Online for review. I created Rande last night, after picking up a copy of the digital standard version of the game directly…
