Well, the next Mass Effect sure looks sick. Mass Effect Andromeda follows a group of explorers trying to find a new place to call home—you can think of them as the aliens this time around. There’s a new galaxy, new planets, new characters, many of which you can spot in the trailer above. Oh, and…
Check out this new official Legend of Zelda artwork—will we be able to rock climb in the upcoming Wii U game? That’d be awesome. (Via Zelda’s Amazon page.) Here’s some other recent artwork, from last week:
Remember how last month fans spotted an unannounced monster hidden in the Pokémon Sun and Moon trailers? Welp, turns out it wasn’t a fake-out. Meet Iwanko, drawn here by Tumblr artist kokoro. This rendition is based on the recent Japanese magazine, CoroCoro, which actually includes two new ‘mon. According to Serebii, Iwanko is a rock-type…
Nothing beats getting that one legendary Overwatch skin you’ve been eyeing for days. Most of the time, though? God do loot box drops suck. Blizzard are a devilish bunch. I can only imagine how long was spent on designing the loot box, its animation, and what it sounds like when you expand one. Just the…
Sure, everything might be 1000% harder to do when you’re using a potato controller to get around, but still: it’s silly stunts like these that make us love Skyrim players in the first place. This ridiculous (yet genius) contraption comes to us via BOOM, LLC Robotater, who has even gone ahead and written a Steam…
In 2009, Matthew “MatPat” Patrick graduated from Duke University with a double major in theater and neuroscience. Seven years later, he has become one of the largest channels on YouTube—and he did it by making videos where he muses about subjects like whether or not Super Mario is actually psychopath. “Fan theories” like the ones…
On the surface, Overwatch seems like just a wacky, brightly-colored shooter. Don’t let that fool you though. Overwatch hides some secrets which nobody has found yet according to Blizzard. Earlier this year, there were rumblings of a character named “Sombra.” As Eurogamer explains here, some of the maps in Overwatch contain mentions of Sombra in…
La Petite Mort is a game about touching a pixelated vulva. There is technically no nudity in the game since everything is rather abstracted, but the general gist was still enough to get the game taken down from the app store. (NSFW warning.) Developers Lovable Hat Cult created La Petite Mort with the intention of…
According to Overwatch’s story, Hana Song used to be a professional StarCraft 2 player. That’s DVA’s entire schtick, really: she’s a big gamer. Fans have run with that premise, and taken it to its logical (and somehow adorable) conclusion. You know what the stereotype about gamers is by now, right? That we like to eat…
Damn, Rick and Morty fit surprisingly well within the world of Fallout 4. YouTuber UpIsNotJump created a pretty extensive machinima of Rick and Morty within Fallout 4, and if you like the show at all, you absolutely must watch this. I lost it when the TV scenes started playing, and even characters like Summer and…
Look, we tried to keep Trump alive. Honest. As you may have heard, Surgeon Simulatordebuted an “Anniversary Edition” this week, and one of the new things this revamped version comes with is a mode that lets you cut open none other than the Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump. Below, you can watch Gawker writers Marina…
Overwatch’s “play of the game” is supposed to be a post-match highlight that showcases a moment of badassery, but the internet has transformed the feature into so much more. You’ve probably already seen examples of this in action, but basically, the play of the game has become a big meme where people splice together footage…
Move over, Professor Sycamore. There’s a new daddy in town. (NSFW warning!) As many of you know, every Pokémon game comes with a Pokémon expert who guides you on your journey to catch ‘em all. In the first generation of games/anime, we had good ‘ol professor Oak: For a while, this was more or less…
Reaper’s tryhard edgelording is partially on Blizzard, which has given the character sharp lines such as “DIE, DIE, DIE.” But players who play Reaper also make him seem like a ridiculous character, too. The excellent @reapernames Twitter account collects screenshots of actual Reaper players in the wild, and they all have amazing names. Sometimes, the…
Overwatch has technically only been out for a week, but it’s already a phenomenon. Even people who have never played Overwatch are getting sucked into its orbit through fan fiction, cosplay, memes and porn. That’s because Overwatch is not really a game as much as it’s an event. Normally, hype tells you nothing concrete about…
Blizzard’s take on the class-based-shooter is so vibrant and full of personality, that each individual character has inspired its own army/fandom. And yet, some heroes are still better than others. Here is our definitive ranking of Overwatch heroes, ranked from worst to best. Soldier 76 Bastion Torbjorn Genji Hanzo Zenyatta Junkrat Roadhog Widowmaker McCree Symmetra…
Getting started in Overwatch can be pretty daunting: there are so many heroes to learn, maps to memorize, and loot crates to open, that it’s hard to keep track of it all. But we have a few quick pointers that should help. Here are the things I wish I knew before jumping into Overwatch. Start…
For months now, some Overwatch players have insisted that one hero is too strong, perhaps even overpowered. Now that the game is officially out and the hero balance is more or less set, however, I hope we can all agree that the bellyaching is all bunk. Meet Bastion, an automaton capable of turning into a…
TheCommonwealth has been thoroughly mapped by intrepid adventurers already, but with the new DLC, Fallout 4 players now have an entirely new landmass to mine and explore. And, just like last time, players are particularly curious about what Bethesda did with its water in the DLC, especially given that Far Harbor is so ocean-centric already.…
Ah, Friday. The start of a weekend full of opportunities, such as: napping. Drinking. Oh, and video games. I’m planning on catching up on Kitty Horrorshow, a game creator who—according to YouTube channel Cool Ghosts—makes some excellent horror games: I’ll also try to wrap up my time with Far Harbor, Fallout 4‘s latest DLC. I’ll…
