Sims 4 Mods Add Teen Pregnancy, Incest and Polygamy
Mods allow players to add nearly anything they want to The Sims 4—and this includes stuff that could be considered to be on the more on the taboo side of things. Under normal circumstances, you can only pursue certain types of relationships with certain people. If a sim is related to another sim, they can’t…

Smash Bros. Glitches Are The Best
Though the 3DS version of Smash hasn’t released everywhere yet, players are already finding bugs. And given that this is Smash, a game where anything can happen, it’s probably not surprising to hear that many of the glitches in the game are of the absurd variety. Here’s how the game is bugging out for people.…

What Happens When You Don’t Play The Sims 4
In a word: hilarity. You probably noticed this while playing, but the AI in The Sims 4 isn’t exactly the brightest. OfficialNerdCubed decided to start a game of The Sims 4 where an entire household was randomized—and then he followed the characters in the house, reality-TV style. No interactions, no helping the sims out, no…

Wow, People Are Still Coming Up With Wild Silent Hills Theories
I want to say that I can’t believe people are still trying to break down P.T. But you know what? I’m not surprised. That’s just how good the teaser is; it’s making people obsessive about every detail. We’ve heard plenty of good theories about the game before—like the one about aliens, and the one about…

The Best and Worst Taunts In The New Smash Bros.
Taunting is an important part of any multiplayer game—and Smash Bros. is full of taunts. In fact, every character has a handful of taunts, all of which you can look at right here. GameXplain has a compilation video of every Smash character’s taunts, and it’s definitely worth a watch. Be warned, however, that the video…

The More Damage You Have In The New Smash Bros., The Harder You’ll Hit
A small change can make a huge difference—and it looks like the new Smash Bros. has a tweak that’ll definitely change the way the game plays. CLASH Tournaments is calling this tweak “the rage effect.” Basically, the way it works is, when a character is at a high percentage—that is, when they’ve taken more damage—that…

Destiny’s Raid Doesn’t Take That Long, If You Know What To Do
The first time a clan beat The Vault of Glass, Destiny’s massive raid, it took them ten hours. That’s because they had to learn what to do along the way; nobody could tell them what to expect. Now, though? People are practically blazing through the raid. It makes sense. Now that more people have gotten…

The Sims 4 Mods Are Officially Starting To Become Amazing
Despite being so new, The Sims 4 has relatively robust mod offerings. Some mods are sort of saucy. Some are useful. And some, well, some are just sort of amazing. Enter the Babies For Everyone Mod, an alteration to The Sims 4 which allows nearly everyone to ‘try for baby’ while having sex. This means…

Last night, a new trailer hit for the long-awaitedFinal Fantasy XV. The internet seems to have a consensus on it: the game is looking spectacular.

New Silent Hills Concept Trailer Is Nightmare Fuel
Straight from TGS, here’s a new “concept trailer” for P.T., the upcoming horror project by Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro—and it’s a good one. Damn. More hallways! These ones look more intense than the ones in the playable teaser, though. The concept trailer isn’t so hot on subtle scares. Some GIFs:

Terrible Pokémon Can Be Traded, Eventually, For Legendaries
Even a piece of crap Pokémon can result in a legendary trade. The trick? Patience, and an eye for trading up. It’s sort of like the Pokémon equivalent of One Red Paperclip, where blogger Kyle MacDonald managed to barter his way from a paperclip to an actual house over the course of a year. Only…

The Horror of Bringing The Sims To Life
Good thing people don’t actually act like sims—things would get out of hand quick. Not just because people would act in strange, sometimes hilarious ways, mind. Things would get out of hand because it means we’d be at the whims of some jerk player somewhere—and that’s bad news, as you can see in this video…

The Villager Is A Giant Troll In Super Smash Bros.
There’s something about the villager. Something sinister. Something hilarious. Something, frankly, troll-ish—which means he’s a blast to watch in action now that the game is out. It’s a combination of things. With such a happy-go-lucky face, and with such cutesy animations… …I can easily see it being downright infuriating to play against the villager—especially when…

Bonkers Dragon Ball Z Theory Says Goku Ruined Everything
Goku showing up on earth kicked off a whole string of ridiculous events in the Dragon Ball world, not all of which were to humanity’s benefit. But what if Goku had never shown up at all? It’s still likely that some horrible villains would have appeared on earth while looking for Goku, that’s true. But…

A Wild Theory About Destiny’s Story
Many people seem to think that Destiny’s story is, well, lackluster. But what if most people are missing one big key thing about the story? Buckle up, because it’s time for a bonkers theory about a video game. So, according to the Destiny wiki, this is the story: Many generations ago (shortly after present day),…

CultureThe Internet Reacts To Microsoft Buying Minecraft
The rumor has become reality: Microsoft bought Mojang, makers of Minecraft. Being that Minecraft is such a huge game, people have a lot of feelings about this $2.5 billion deal. Some folks are upset. Some are confused. Some people are incredulous. It makes sense: the question on everyone’s mind is, what does this move mean…

The Sim Who Refused To Die
Over a dozen hours into The Sims 4, I’m only now starting to delve into a core part of the experience: killing your sims. At least, I assume that killing sims is an important part of the experience, given all the backlash surrounding the lack of pools in The Sims 4 When I initially read…
