Whenever you see someone gripe about how uncreative the game industry is, the ‘observation’ almost always seems to carry a hint of nostalgia to it.

Here’s Proof That Raging Costs People Games

Sometimes, you just can’t help but get frustrated while playing a game. It’s fair; we’re human. But it’s probably in your benefit to keep cool and not rage while playing—at least, if the game is League of Legends Riot, the developer, has collected evidence to prove not just that ragers lose more games, but that…

Well, Okay. Maybe This Is A More Typical Day With PlayStation.

The other day we ran a PlayStation ad that gave us a tease of what life with a PS4 and PlayStation Vita could be like.I, for one, was pumped. Gamesies: The Show brings us a most excellent parody of that ad, playfully reminding us that things aren’t always so rosy in the land of PlayStation.…

BINGO! Here’s a a kind of tongue-in-cheek, kind of serious bingo chart made by AVB that lists silly and real reasons alike that some developers list when asked why their game doesn’t include female protagonists or characters. You may recognize a rather recent excuse in here.

Going Viral Sucks

Gain more followers. Add more friends. Increase your Klout score. Get more page views. Get more likes, more subscribers. Go viral. You want that, right? Everyone wants something like that.

No One Knows What The Heck This League of Legends Champ Is Saying

Last week a bizarre but delightful viral video asked one simple question: what sound does the fox make? (Lots of things, it turns out.) This week, Instalok asks the tougher question: what sound does Teemo from League of Legends make? It helps if you’ve watched the original video by Ylvis, which this parodies—which, really. You…

It’s Hard Not To Get Pumped About This PS4 Feature

Watching this PlayStation ad, it really sunk in for me: it’s one thing to hear about the ability to play/stream PlayStation 4 games remotely on your Vita, should you own one. It’s another thing entirely to see that feature in action and realize, holy crap, it’s like I have a portable PlayStation 4 in my…

You Aren’t The Only One Taking A Day Off For Grand Theft Auto V

Here’s a rather frank but hilarious notice spotted by lukedoof in front of a small British games shop called Console Yourself. Why bother opening the store when they know their customers and staff alike will be busy playing Grand Theft Auto V the day after launch day? It’s good thinking, if you ask me. I…

Pokemon Bank Is Exciting. Here’s Why.

At first glance, having the ability to store Pokemon in the cloud doesn’t seem like a big deal. It’s just storage, you know? A place to put Pokemon in. Uh, okay. Neat for the collectors and obsessive Pokemon breeders, sure, but what does it mean for everyone else? Thing is—and mind, some of this is…

Three Theories As To Why Metal Gear Solid V’s Sniper Is So, Um, Sexy

Metal Gear Solid has never been a franchise that’s lacked fan service when it comes to depicting attractive characters, but that doesn’t mean the characters don’t have a reason for looking the way they do. Last week, Hideo Kojima tweeted that he was making some of the characters in Metal Gear Solid V more eroticas…

You Never Expect A Friggin’ Gum Ad To Be This Emotional

Okay so, regardless of whether or not this Extra bubblegum commercial makes you tear up, you gotta admit, most gum ads don’t try to hit the notes that this does. As far as I can tell, most gum goes for humor. That do nothing for you? Hmm. Maybe we need to change it up so…

Oh god, why, Ash? I don’t know why this gif of Ash twerkin’ exists, but it had to be shared. Y’know, in case you haven’t had your daily dose of twerk.(Via .hardp!nq, thanks Lulu)

Possibly The Best GLaDOS Cosplay Ever. Dang.

Now, we’ve featured plenty of GLaDOS cosplayers before—all great!—but no cosplay, to our knowledge, has ever done GLaDOS like this before. The cosplayer suspended in the air is none other than Enayla, and she says the Portal 2 costume took a few months to make. Though we caught a few seconds of this cosplay in…
