Dragons are supposed to be Dragon Age’s most fearsome foe. That’s why they are in the title! This dragon didn’t get that memo, though. Watch what happens when Matthew Yuen‘s archer Inquisitor does a move called “Leaping Shot” on a dragon in Inquisition. For whatever reason, the dragon glitches out and starts spinning around in…
Imagine, for a moment, that characters like Finn or Marceline had to pick a Pokémon team. What creatures would you match them up with? Here’s one take by shorelle, and I think it’s perfect. Jake already sort of looks like Pikachu, ergo… Finn X Pikachu Marcelline X Mega Gengar Princess Bubblegum X Wigglytuff If you…
Nobody expected Telltale to announce a “narrative driven” take on Minecraft this morning.Thing is, while seemingly everyone loves playing Minecraft, nobody is playing the game because of the story. That’s exactly what’s causing the partnership between Telltale and Minecraft to look like it’s coming from left field. While Telltale’s track record with games like The…
Remember the board game Operation, where you have to do your best to extract all sorts of stuff from a patient’s body without touching the edges of the cavities? This is sort of like that, except way more unsafe. AH Community takes the time to show how you can ‘recreate’ the classic game in GTA,…
In two words: experience points. Heaps and heaps of experience points. As you might already know, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire include something called “secret bases.” Think of them like treehouses. Hidden throughout the game are nooks and crannies that players can move into and decorate, Animal Crossing style. While the game gives you…
We’ve been getting emails about people trying to solo the new Destiny raid ever since it launched. And while people got through bits and pieces of the raid by themselves, nobody managed to beat the entire thing solo. Until now. Watch in awe as The Legend Himself beats Crota’s End without any teammates. The appropriately-named…
Right now, the GTS—Pokémon‘s online system, which allows players around the world to trade monsters with each other—is a mess. Normally, newer Pokémon games don’t let you name your Pokémon anything offensive. To wit, a friend tried naming a Pokémon she recently caught “Grassy,” but the system is so strict, that it wouldn’t allow it.…
I’ve spent a long time playing For Glory in Smash Bros.—that hardcore one-on-one mode with no items and flat stages. And while much of that playtime has been me getting my ass kicked, I can’t help but keep coming back to it. Part of it is that, in my experience at least, the players in…
While the new Smash games don’t have the famous technique from Melee that players called wavedashing, they do have something called “perfect pivoting”—and it’s similar/useful enough that you’ll want to learn how to do it if you’re playing seriously. My Smash Corner explains how to do the technique in this video, and why it’s worth…
Subnautica, that cool-looking underwater exploration game by the folks behind Natural Selection 2, is now out on Steam Early access. Check out its trailer here—that’s a cool art style, no?
Surviving night shifts at Freddy Fazbear’s isn’t easy. And hey, maybe you don’t have to. There are other ways to experience Five Nights at Freddy’s, and they don’t involve video games or Lets Play’s at all. For the last couple of months, BrianXKaren has been uploading a Five Nights at Freddy’s comic that takes a…
Nailing a good Falcon Punch is probably one of the most satisfying things to do in Smash Bros. And while you don’t see them all the time in competitive play, the Falcon Punches that serious players land can be very bombastic. Here’s a compilation of a bunch of great Falcon Punches by GRsmash. You might…
After dozens of hours of closing rifts, destroying red lyrium veins, and maybe even defeating some dragons, you finally beat Dragon Age Inquisition. Congrats! You may now be asking yourself: what the hell just happened? You’re not alone. Even as a Dragon Age fan that’s been playing since Origins, the ending to Inquisition—or more specifically,…
Not only can you play as Master Hand thanks to this mod, you control it with your actual hand. The beauty of motion controls, folks. Here’s Chadtronic trying out something called the “GameWAVE Mod,” which he uses in conjuction with a Leap Motion in order to control Master Hand using gestures: “I control Master Hand…
In a messed-up world like Fallout, it’s not surprising that some people would turn to cannibalism. Still, cannibals make for some of the more disturbing characters in the game. Here’s a look back by ShoddyCast at the many (!) factions and people in Fallout 3 and New Vegas that eat other humans. I remember being…
Forget Chuck-e-Cheese-like animatronics. Those are already a little bit creepy on their own. Corrupting Disney characters, however, is a bit more unsettling. Five Nights at Treasure Island is a Five Nights at Freddy’s fan game, and while it isn’t done, what developer AnArt1996 has so far is promising. Like the original Five Nights, you are…
If you’re like me, you’re not playing Dragon Age to save the world. You’re playing Dragon Age to get to know some buddies, and maybe even to smooch someone. I’ve largely praised the way Bioware handles romance and sex inInquisition—the characters are nuanced, complex, and titillating. And, unlike many Bioware games, where sex is presented…
If you’re not careful, an Amiibo can become a monster in Smash Bros. Thankfully, this doesn’t have to be terrifying for us humans—instead, the intense skill of Amiibos can be turned into a spectator sport. That’s where The Amiibo Fighting Championship comes in. As the name suggests, it’s an Amiibo-only tournament, where only Nintendo toys…
When Sailor Moon Crystal started airing, there was some commotion over the quality of the animation. While some fans were very happy to see the return of Sailor Moon, not everyone was happy with what they perceived to be low-quality visuals. But now that Sailor Moon Crystal has started to release on Blu-Ray, Sailor Moon…
Spilling a little milk is worth it—at least, if you’re looking for a good particle-based simulation. Check out NVIDIA’s new “PhysX FleX” features—even if you’re not in the market for a new graphics card for your PC, the simulations are a joy to watch. Yay particles!
