Not for the first time, and not for the last either, a strategy game on the App Store has been removed because it featured “people from a specific government or other real entity as the enemies”. In this case, the Taliban. Apple’s long-standing and long-stupid policy has been affecting historically accurate (or at least historically…

New Jordans Are Based On Miles Morales’ Spider-Man

Destiny 2 Glitch Makes Big Boss 3x Bigger
Protheon, the boss of Destiny 2’s Inverted Spire strike, is a big guy! A glitch earlier this week made him a lot bigger, though. Terrifyingly so.

Neymar Skipped Soccer’s Most Prestigious Awards To Play Call Of Duty
The Ballon d’Or is the most prestigious award in world football, given each year to the player deemed by journalists to have been the best on the planet.

Oh Hell Yeah It’s Tank O’Clock In Battlefield V
I’ve enjoyed Battlefield V so far, but it’s about to get the one thing it’s been short on since launch: a massive increase in the number of tank-related fatalities. Starting tomorrow (Update: maybe later), the game’s first major update will be available, and it’s notable for two things. The first is the addition of another…

Bethesda Is Sending Out Replacements For Fallout 76’s Nylon Trash Bags
Of all the things Fallout 76 has got wrong, a switcheroo on a collector’s edition bag has proved to be one of the most contentious. In an attempt to make that right, Bethesda is now going to send folks a proper canvas bag—presumably like the ones originally advertised—as a replacement for the plastic junk. If…

Mutated Australian Possum Now Named “Pikachu”
Last month an orphaned possum was handed in to a wildlife rescue service in Melbourne. Born with a “genetic mutation”, its bright colour scheme has earned it a very fitting name: Pikachu. The Age reports that the possum—remember, Australian possums are not American possums—has a specific mutation that “results in low levels of melanin”, meaning…

That’s Not My Arthur Morgan
Here’s a thing I’ve noticed while watching other people play Red Dead Redemption 2: there’s an Arthur Morgan on the screen, who looks like Arthur Morgan and sounds like Arthur Morgan, but isn’t my Arthur Morgan. I know it’s the same character, but it’s also not, and that never sits right with me. I call…
