OK, We Can Shut Down Overwatch Toys Now

Wrap it up. Nearly three years after it was first released, and long after I stopped playing the actual game, my one and only Overwatch request has come true, and so there is no need for any further merchandise. There’s a Figma based on Mercy coming next year. Selling for $90 (!) from Blizzard’s online…

Beautiful Battlefield “Trailer” Was Shot Entirely Using Unsuspecting Real Players

By day, Gage Allen makes video game trailers. But for this Battlefield clip, he wanted to do something different.

Epic Games Store Release Crashes Without Files Called “Steam”

Axiom Verge has been free on Epic’s new game store this week, only with a surprise catch: the game crashed early on because the developer removed a bunch of files called “steam” when bringing the game over from Valve’s shopfront.

Breath Of The Wild Now Runs Beautifully In 4K (On The PC)

While the latest Zelda game has been available in 4K for a while now on the PC via emulation, its performance wasn’t always the best. It is now. The latest version of the CEMU emulator, 1.15.2, is now able to run the game at 4K resolution, and at framerates of between 60-100fps. I know the…

A Cosplaying Transformers Band Playing Led Zeppelin And The Pokemon Theme

The Cybertronic Spree are a band who specialise in covers of songs from games, anime and movies. And, when the mood takes them, Led Zeppelin as well. That’s a fun enough premise on its own, but then, they also do it cosplaying as Transformers. And it’s really good cosplay, too! Aesthetically pleasing, accurate to the source…

Look At This Magical Nintendo 64

German artist Mizucat, who specialises in 80s and early 90s anime art, also dabbles in cutsom console paintjobs, like this fantastic Nintendo 64. It’s like a unicorn barfed a fairy dust cupcake all over some Nintendo hardware, and I love it. Maybe the best part is that the console isn’t just a paintjob, it’s a…

Manchester United’s New Boss Cut His Teeth On Football Management Games

Caretaker Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær has had an incredible run since taking over from Jose Mourinho, which has been a bit of a surprise considering how dreadful United had been until the switch, and how Solskjær’s last Premier League experience had been relegation with Cardiff City.

Ubisoft Sends Out Political Email For The Division 2, A Game That Is Definitely Not Political

Ubisoft would like you to know that The Division 2, a game with a deeply political setting, is not a politicalstatement.

A Frighteningly Accurate Analysis Of Smash Bros. Ultimate’s Politics

Wii Fit trainer does kinda seem like she’d call the cops on black teens. Just as they did with Mario Kart, Art House Politics have assembled the roster of Smash Bros. Ultimate and tried to nail down each character’s political leanings. And once again the results seem terrifyingly accurate.
