The Most Hardcore Way To Play DayZ
Forget permadeath. There is a more intense way to play DayZ, and it somehow makes the survival game way more hardcore. I speak of perma-permadeath, a concept that Rock, Paper Shotgun writer Christopher Livingston recently documented. Here’s how it works. If you die, that’s it. You don’t just lose your character, though. You never get…

Here’s To You, Shadow of Mordor Orc With A Silly Name
By now, the internet’s (somewhat immature) love of any Shadow of Mordor orc named “Dush” is well-known. But few people actually go through the trouble of making a full-on emotional tribute to Dush orcs, like hoodwinkedfool does. I even got a little sad at the end of this video, too. Aww, Dush. You had an…

Here is an in-progress GIF:…

Ridley Is In Smash Bros. Wii U… But Not Playable
Yes, Ridley is in the Wii U version of Smash. No, he’s not playable. But! You can get him to fight for you during a match, which I suppose is an OK compromise. Ridley even has a special form… So much for being too big! Here’s the reveal in full, if you’d like more details:

Grand Theft Auto’s Unexplained Myths
Every GTA hides secrets—rare and strange occurrences that would be right at home inside an episode of The X-Files. Some of them are scripted. Some aren’t. All of them end up logged and documented by players. If you’ve never visited the GTA Myths Wiki, I highly recommend taking a gander today. While there are things…

Twitch Plays Smash Bros. Is Perfectly Chaotic
If I had to use one word to describe Smash Bros., it would be “mayhem.” Oh, hey. That’s the exact word I’d use to describe a room full of Twitch viewers trying to play a single video game, too. It’s almost like Twitch playing Smash Bros. is the perfect combination. You may know the Twitch…

Legion Is The Nicki Minaj of Mass Effect

Here is Legion, dancing along to Anaconda thanks to Revolution72 Studios. Because butts, I guess? Here is Legion’s original dance: And here’s Anaconda, in case you wanted the full song: If…

Everything Goes Wrong When You Try To Kidnap Everyone In The Sims 4
It all started with a simple investigation: how many Sims can one fit in a grid in The Sims 4? Then, everything gets out of hand. In order to answer that question, PrettyGrumpyBearGame ends up kidnapping everyone in The Sims 4—that is, until the game stops spawning sims. Then PrettyGrumpyBearGame has to take matters into…

The Pokémon Battle That Shouldn’t Have Been Cut From Red And Blue
It’s easy to dismiss Professor Oak as a doofy academic who can’t even remember his grandson’s name. But originally, Pokémon Red & Blue designed Professor Oak as a powerful trainer the player could face off sometime near the end of the game. This battle, as some hardcore Pokémon fans know, was cut. But according to…

The Sims 4’s Nudity Mods Have Gotten Really Detailed
When players modded the censors covering characters up in The Sims 4, they found that sims were pretty much Barbies underneath the clothes. Naturally, it was only a matter of time before someone took matters into their own hands and changed that. Warning: this post contains NSFW content. Hardcore Sims players may know about the…

I Bet Kanye West Uses Yoshi In Smash Bros., And Other Guesses
Whenever I talk to a Smash Bros. player, the first question that inevitably comes up is “who do you main?” The characters you pick and play the most, after all, reflect you and your playstyle. More than that, mains say something about your personality. People who play Captain Falcon, for example, are sort of doofy…

Almost A Year Later, Pokémon X & Y’s Ghost Girl Is Still A Mystery
Pokémon X & Y are rather happy-go-lucky games—that is, with the exception of a mysterious ghost girl that managed to freak players out last November. You’d think that by now, almost a year after her discovery, we’d know what her deal is…but no. She’s still somewhat of an enigma. Some background, in case you’re not…

If Disney Characters Starred In Super Smash Bros.
I’ve long held that Nintendo is pretty much the Disney of video games, and that the incredible attention to detail put in games like Smash Bros. proves it. So really, a Smash x Disney mash-up is a match made in Final Destination. The Mickey x Mario combo you see above is the handiwork of Michael…
