Woah. Then again, Thor entering the Disney princess circuit would also give people a reason to never, ever retire the whole “Disney princesses as [insert other thing here].” Hmm. Alas, right now the Disney Princess line-up doesn’t even include Anna and Elsa, apparently/currently, so I wouldn’t get too hyped on this Thor technicality. EDIT: the…
What an escape: watch as Team DK’s Mushi manages flee an impossible situation against a few players from Evil Geniuses. One of my favorite moments of The International today thus far.
Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire were released back in November 2003 on the Game Boy Advance. The remakes, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, are bringing that world back to life this year on the 3DS—and when compared to the originals, we can see just how much better the modern games look. Here’s a fantastic image by…
Over the years, folks have found a ton of glitches inside of Super Mario Bros. 3—so even if you’ve played it before, chances are good that there’s still stuff you’ve never seen inside the game. Some glitches are small, but neat. Some glitches are huge and ridiculous, like the one featured in the initial GIF…
The main event for The International starts today, with ViCi Gaming facing NewBee in the first upper bracket match, followed by Evil Geniuses versus Team DK. You can watch it all go down here. The International, as you might recall, is a tournament with humongous prize pool. $10,850,749, to be exact. It’s kind of incredible,…
Check out this interesting Rock Paper, Shotgun article on Dota 2‘s Compendium weather options—it asks, can such a small detail have an effect on the gameplay?
I’ve played as aliens, space ships, and astronauts in plenty of games before. But a wormhole? Now that’s novel. If you have fifteen minutes to spare, I highly recommend giving You Are A Wormhole by Aleks Sennwald a try—it’s a charming little game about being lonely. Every so often, an entity will reach your corner…
Editor’s Note: This piece has been significantly revised to better convey its original intent. Please read the newer version at this link. Last weekend, Max Temkin, co-creator of the popular card game Cards Against Humanity, wrote a blog post about rape accusation.

Last weekend, Max Temkin, co-creator of the popular card game Cards Against Humanity, wrote a blog post about a rape accusation. The post went up somewhat unnoticed, thanks to a combination of EVO, the World Cup, and GaymerX happening all at the same time—but he mentions something that we, as a gaming community, should talk…
There’s something surreal and sometimes nighmare-ish about Maaden Ramos’ fantastic Pokémon art. I can almost imagine a dream to go along with each piece. It looks like Ramos is going through every letter in the alphabetand drawing up a Pokémon to go alongside each letter—and here are some stand-out illustrations from this collection. Fair warning,…
As awesome as owning Pokémon would be, it would undoubtedly come with some drawbacks—just like owning real pets would. But if the newest Pokémon trend is anything to go by, it would be kind of hard to stay mad at our Pokémon. Right now, tons of artists are taking the “pet shaming” meme and are…
Maybe you haven’t heard of lewd visual novel Sakura Spirit, which is currently available on Steam. That’s OK, because Sakura Spirit’s Steam reviews are here to help. Even if you have no interest in playing it, it’s hard not to be struck by the reviews of Sakura Spirit—most are silly. And given that the game…
Though we detailed some of this last week, here’s some footage of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire’s new mega, secret bases, and yes, Pikachu dress-up. Too cute. Here’s what The Pokemon Company has to say about the Pikachu cosplay: First introduced in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, Pokémon-Amie returns in Pokémon Omega Ruby and…
Despite being released nearly 16 years ago, speedrunners are still finding neat glitches inside of Ocarina of Time. Take this “action swap” glitch that was documented over the weekend, for example—which lets you perform some cool item shenanigans. Speedrunner Zas_ details a glitch which allows Link to shoot arrows despite not actually having a bow…
Fact: Wrestling legend Jim Ross improves everything. But in case the last video that mashed up video games with wrestling commentarydidn’t convince you of it, here’s another excellent clip. This time, my favorite bit in the video by TheBlueOwlPlays has to be both the water temple bit, and the Resident Evil segment. Too good. If…
And now for the cutest thing I’ve seen all week: scans of Japanese magazine CoroCororeveal that the upcoming Pokémon remakes will have some form of dress-up, presumably for the contests feature included in the original games. While you’ll have to visit Pokémon news website Serebii to see the scans, they show an adorable Pikachu dressed…
A Counter-Strike player found himself having to deal with more than just digital bomb recently, thanks to a prankster that called the police on his house—a practice commonly known as “swatting.” The player in question is Jordan Gilbert of n0thingtv. While the clip above shows the most relevant bit, you can see the lead-up and…
Earlier this week, we wrote about the Reaper Lords—afascinatingcrew with hundreds of members that roam the streets of GTA Online. We told you all about their love of motorcycles, their intense rules, their dress code, and their curious social media presence. Today, you get to hear from an actual Reaper Lord. I got a chance…
Primal Reversion won’t be the only type of evolution featured in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire—we’ll also be seeing some new mega Pokémon. Obviously, if you don’t want to be spoiled on what these megas are, you should probably stop reading now! According to Anime News Network, the newest issue of Japanese magazine CoroCoro…
