Today, I am going to attempt Mario Maker’s “100 Mario challenge,” a mode where you are given 100 lives to clear a set number of courses created by other players. Who knows what I will find? (Probably not the princess. She’s never at the castle. Jerk.) If you’d like, you can watch me undertake this…
Offworld takes a look at how gaming terms have influenced Chinese slang, and it’s a fascinating read.
Holy shit. This feels like it could have come straight out of The Matrix or something. drekerrr brings us footage of a GTA eject so epic, it could easily be a stunt in a big-budget action movie: Not only does the passenger somehow avoid the missiles, he also gets to take revenge on the attacking…
Super Mario Maker is largely in the hands of reviewers, entertainers, and YouTubers right now—but even so, we’re already starting to see some fantastic user-created levels. I recorded myself playing through a few favorites, including: A level where mushrooms are your worst enemy. A bullet hell level. A roller coaster. A level with a goomba…
Mr. Handy might be a robot, but he sure has a lot of humanity. I’ve been toying around Mr. Handy in Fallout Shelter lately, and I’ve been pleased to find that he’s become the best thing in the new update. Yes, Mr. Handy is useful—he’ll automatically collect resources for you, as well as help defend…
As a series, Gears of War likely has the best weapons in any shooter, period. Many of these weapons are surprisingly creative—a chainsaw on an assault rifle?!—and nearly all of them feel great to use. What I’m saying is: ranking the Gears of War arsenal is tough. In any other game, many of these weapons…
We’re gonna need a lot of shotgun shells tonight, boys. Today I will be spending some time with Gear of War’s online multiplayer, for which I’ll be buddying up with the developers of the remaster, The Coalition. It’ll probably be some TDM or King of The Hill for about an hour, followed by a bit…
Vault Boy probably hopes you’re willing to swipe right. Reader Jason Mol sent us a curious screenshot earlier today of a profile he came across while using dating app Tinder. Turns out, Vault Boy himself is on the service. Apparently he’s age 25, and if y’all hit it off together, who knows, maybe you can…
My friends keep raving about Galak-Z, that procedurally generated space shooter that is anime as hell. Today, I’ve decided to see what the roguelike is actually all about. I hear the game is pretty difficult, so this should be interesting. I’ll be streaming it here starting around 6PM EST/3PM PST, and I encourage you to…
After years of watching and playing Mortal Kombat, it’s rare to see a fatality that makes me go ‘holy shit.’ Most of them try a little too hard. Somehow, though, these folks have found a way to make fatalities shocking again. RackaRacka took it upon themselves to show us what some fatalities would look like…
YouTuber Many A True Nerd did not rest on his laurels after beating Fallout: New Vegas on a single health bar last March. Instead, he upped the ante and decided to continue the run on New Vegas DLC. It seemed all but certain that he would die during this new portion of the run, given…
Hideo Kojima is a genius. Also: that farting sound is disgusting and hilarious. Video games.
Kill two Deathclaws without a weapon. For fifty caps. Are you kidding me, Fallout Shelter? The screenshot above comes from Redditor magicalmakx, and it’s so absurd, I initially thought it was just a Photoshop. But no. Other players report the same thing: the new Fallout Shelter has new objectives, one of which includes the ridiculous…
Splatoon came out in May. It is now August. I am still talking about Splatoon with my friends. I am still delightfully tweeting pictures of outfits and hilarious Miiverse posts, even the ones with bad meme jokes. And along with all of that, I’m still playing. Not only is Splatoon is one of my most…
Installed across all of Los Santos are a countless number of security cameras that quietly monitor everything that happens. And given that this is Grand Theft Auto, it’s pretty likely that they’re recording all sorts of wild things. Such is the premise of Abstract Mode’s new short, which gives us a security cam’s view of…
They don’t call them ‘Deathclaws’ for nothing, you know. Fallout Shelter got a new update today, and with it came a bevy of new features. These include some gameplay tweaks, some bug fixes, and a fancy new robot butler known as Mr. Handy. Oh…and Deathclaws. Those are in there too. Players who have experienced Fallout…
So I’ve been playing Earthbound lately. It’s my first go-around. A few hours in, I’m delighted and slightly bemused at how strange Earthbound can be. I’ve never played a JRPG like it. Mostly, it’s all in the writing. The characters say the weirdest things. So does the flavor text. Here’s the attack description for PSI…
Developers can’t always stop piracy. But they can try to have fun with it, at least. Noodlecake Studios recently launched a mobile shoot-em-up called Shooting Stars!. It costs 2.99. Unless, of course, you pirate it. Then it’s free. Thing is, Noodlecake actually uploaded the pirated version to torrent sites themselves—and the game comes with a…
Pop quiz! Did you know it’s possible to see Lisa, the disturbing ghost from P.T., in the basement room that you start the game in? I didn’t. While there have been some whispers about Lisa’s appearance in the first room of the game, actual evidence of her apparition there didn’t really start circulating heavily until…
