Depending on what platform you want kill orcs on, things will look a little different. Mind, there doesn’t seem to be a version of Shadow of Mordor that is particularly lacking in the visual department. The game is a looker! But if you’re debating which version of the game to get, this comparison video by…
Things don’t always go according to plan when you’re trying to hunt an orc. Sometimes, things can get a little wacky—especially if you happen to encounter a glitch. Now that Shadow of Mordor has been out for a few days, people are documenting some of the glitches they’ve come across. Take the one above, for…
The 2014 Saxxy Award winners were announced today. Here’s one of my favorite action shorts, uploaded by Callegos Yavolitak, though you can take a look at the finalists for the machinima competition held by Valve (and overall winner) here.
Have you seen the latest 3DS commercial, which is chock full cuteness? More importantly, it features Bowser Dad. If you haven’t, you should. Not only is it good, it is also inspiring awesome fan-art—like the picture above, which was drawn by Rico But out of all the Nintendo characters featured in the commercial, it’s Bowser…
One of the most iconic families in The Sims 4 has a history that the game doesn’t tell you about. If you’ve played previous Sims games, perhaps you’re aware of it. Part of the story behind the Goths is obvious even in The Sims 4: they’re a wealthy, gloomy and somewhat snobby family. But there’s…
The next Hearthstone expansion will have over 100 cards, according to an interview on Polygon. If you’re curious, Blizzard talks about some of its thinking when it comes to future expansions here.
Sorry. If there was ever a time to use that joke, it’s now.* Previously, we documented the fact that enemies in Destiny (seem to) glitch out and crouch repeatedly—making it seem as if they were, y’know, teabagging. It was only a matter of time before this started to actually happen to people after they died.…
Picking up a wild draw four card in Uno. Letting all of the Connect Four pieces drop after a match. Playing a dirty word in Scrabble. Being an ace at Jenga. If you’ve ever played many of the classic games in this video by BuzzFeedVideo, then you know exactly what I’m talking about. But the…
You’ve probably noticed this by now, but every year, nearly everything gets repackaged in a Game of The Year Edition. And when everything is apparently a Game of The Year, does that label even mean anything anymore? Here’s a funny take on the subject by videogamedunkey, which looks at some games that got a Game…
It’s hard not to get pumped while watching Korean shoutcasters comment League of Legends matches—they’re just so freakin’ excited! You don’t even have to play League of Legends to appreciate the hype. The group stages for the 2014 League of Legends world championship took place last weekend, and it featured not just great top-level play,…
For the last week, one thing has been bugging me about the 3DS version of Smash: the controls. I think, to some extent, this is a question that’s been on everyone’s mind. Does the 3DS version feel good to play? Should you try the game out on the 3DS, or should you just wait for…
Are you missing a deleted character in World of Warcraft? Wish you could bring them back? Good news. You may be able to recover them using a built-in game feature thanks to an upcoming patch. According to Blizzard, ‘resurrected’ characters will retain their enchantments, gems and items—you can even reclaim their names. But! There are…
When I was first introduced to Smash Bros. back in college, there was an unspoken mutual understanding between all my friends: no items. Mind, it was never anything as serious as the infamous F ox-Only-Final-Destination-No-Items deal; I don’t even think most super hardcore Smashers play like that, regardless of how fond everyone seems to be…
Every match of Dota 2 has at least a handful of deaths. The question is, what exactly happens to the bodies after a match is over? Here’s one take by DotaCinema that postulates that maybe Pudge is the one taking care of all the dead bodies. It’s a gruesome thought, but in an entertaining way.…
Before you ask: yes, it’s a Gamecube controller. Of course it is. What else would it be? Not content to play Smash Bros. with the 3DS, だいこん went ahead and modded their system so they could play using a controller. Honestly, when people are destroying their circlepads while playing Smash, can you blame them? It’s…
After seven years of development, Titan—Blizzard’s not-so-secret MMO—was cancelled. Though the game was never officially announced, and though we never got to actually see the game in action, the internet does have a lot of feelings about Titan. It makes sense. The cancellation is a huge deal, especially when Titan was considered Blizzard’s next big…
Just like real pets, Pokémon wouldn’t be perfect. But it’s much harder to shame them for any mistakes when you can actually hear the Pokémon explaining what happened! They’re too cute! Damn you, Silly Filly Studios. Maybe we shouldn’t Pokémon shame at all. Or maybe Pikachu should stop shitting the bed. Either one would work.
The next time you boot up Dota 2, you might notice that some stuff looks a bit different. How different? Well, Roshan’s moved, yes. There are also a bunch of smaller new paths which you’ll want to be aware of, especially since the changes might alter where you put wards and such, as well as…
Lots of changes for Dota 2 today, thanks to a new update called ‘Rekindling Soul.’ The most notable change that affects everyone, though? The map is now a bit different. It’s not a huge change, but it is a noticeable one. Specifically, Roshan’s pit is at a different angle. To accommodate this, nearby paths to…
Nine minutes and fifty one seconds. That’s all speedrunner linkdeadx2needs to blaze through Super Mario World, and it’s a treat to watch him do it (in Mario PJs, to boot!) This is an ‘any percentage’ run, which means that a player doesn’t need to get 100% completion to beat the game and claim a time.…
