The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man has improved exactly one movie: Ghostbusters. If you added him to any other movie, he’d probably kill the vibe. That was the idea behind last night’s #AddAPuftRuinAMovie, anyway, which takes the existing idea of #AddAWordRuinAMovie and makes it a little bit more Ghostbusters-specific. I like the 2001 one best, I…
Video game hair rarely even looks acceptable, let alone this good. If you’ve been playing the Destiny beta and you’re anything like me, you spent an inordinate amount of time in the character creator picking out your character’s hairstyle. That’s because the coiffures in this game are straight-up fabulous, and even the crustiest ‘dos are…
…but I’ll take it.
Sometimes a video game’s music is so good that you stop playing and just sit there, enjoying it. That’s definitely happened to me a few times while playing the Destiny beta. When you’re cruising in your ship, killing time before setting off on another quest, the game’s orchestral score will start to play in the…
Titanfall has been out for a little while now, and it’s settled into a normal rhythm for an online shooter. There are some new maps, some new modes, and a lot of people who have gotten very good at it. But the question remains: How many people who were playing in March are still playing…
I should probably turn this extension off already.
The best thing about board games, hands down, is the people. I don’t just mean the sorts of people who play board games, I mean that more broadly: Playing a tabletop or board game means spending time with your friends, your family, your loved ones. Board games are about people. This video, from Shut Up…
If you’ve ever been a Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master, you know that it’s a weighty responsibility. The dice may help decide who wins and who loses, but you and you alone are responsible for everyone’s fun. In a great post over on reddit, writer/game designer Matt Colville, a DM of 28 years, has shared…
The Evil Within will drop a bit early: Today at QuakeCon, Bethesda announced that Shinji Mikami’s latest horrorfest The Evil Within will be out on October 14, a week earlier than its previously announced October 21 release date.
Building a gaming PC can be difficult and stressful. There are a thousand things that could go wrong, and any one of them could wind up costing hundreds of dollars. And yet we do it anyway. Why? Lord only knows. Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve finished building and fine-tuning a new gaming PC.…
I’m all for heady video-game concepts, but sometimes all I need to see is a gif and I’m in. The game in the gif above is an in-development PC action-RPG called Death’s Gambit, which developers White Rabbit describe as “an challenging action rpg where you explore a alien medieval planet filled with horrors, beasts, and…
Watch Dogs has been out for a little while now. Some people have beaten up on it for various things, while others think it’s a perfectly fine time. But there is one thing most of us seem to agree on: That drinking minigame is the worst It’s bad enough with a controller, but it’s far…
Jason is in San Francisco right now, he just visited IGN to say hi. I’m explaining to him where I used to live and it’s making me miss sf
Love ain’t easy. We all want to meet that special someone, the person who sweeps us off our feet and agrees with us about Majora’s Mask. But how best to find him or her? And once we do, how do we make it work? Our resident dating columnist, Harris “Dr. Nerdlove” O’Malley, is here to…
I’ve said it before: The Souls games don’t get enough credit for their sense of humor. Sure, they’re stressful and challenging, but they can also be good for a laugh. The latest video from videogamedunkey takes a whirlwind tour through the game that started it all: 2009’s Demon’s Souls. He makes a very good point…
I have a shiny new PC and I’ve been downloading MOBAs (okay, dota) to it since they’re interesting and relevant, etc, and I tried downloading LoL last night and it just… I pointed it to a folder I made but it started installing files in the directory above that, and then it just kinda started…
Still the best optional objectives of 2013.
