If you take a look at Steam’s most-popular games right now, you’ll see some familiar faces: Dota 2, Counter-Strike, Team Fortress. You might also notice an anomaly amid those giants: a game called Unturned. What’s the deal? Well, Unturned is a free-to-play zombie survival game made by a 16-year-old Canadian, Nelson Sexton. The game has…
Dressing like a Pokémon trainer is only part of a good costume. You also gotta get your Pokémon pals right—and this group of cosplayers nails it. Check out these pictures of 4 Itchy Tasty Cosplay head Brett Horn at this year’s Anime Expo. He created a bunch of to-scale Pokemon puppets, modeled above by a…
That’s me.
PCs and dogs have lots in common, you know. No, really! Well, OK, owning PCs and dogs are mostly similar…until you get to the part where you have to consider buying a new PC. That’s when the similarities drawn by this Dorkly comic start getting a bit more heartbreaking: 🙁 You can read more Dorkly…
Would League of Legends champions get along with Dota 2 heroes? Well, maybe eventually—after they air out the petty differences and annoyances. Check out this funny video by Erick Wright that riffs off comedy show The New Girl—instead of having a chipper lady trying to move in with three bros, it’s a League champion trying…
When fighting game fan “Dan Hibiki” got a strange message while playing Skullgirls, he did what anyone with a Twitter account might do: he contacted the game developers to ask what was going on. Little did he know that the message, pictured below, was something that only those who pirated the game could see. The…
Pokémon are smart creatures—frankly, I’m surprised they let humans boss them around at all. What if Pokémon fought back against the humans, and started using each other as trainers? It’s kind of a silly premise, but this video by Shippiddge made me laugh—especially when it came to what humans sound like to Pokémon. Plus, I…
One of the best things about Ruby and Sapphire was “secret bases”—a feature which let players decorate their own special space, ala Animal Crossing. Alas, secret bases aren’t in the newer games, X & Y-but they’ll be in the upcoming remakes, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. From the Pokemon website: Super-Secret Bases are an awesome…
If you’re having trouble understanding what happened in the World Cup today, then perhaps this highly scientific Pokémon image of Mega ‘mon versus baby Pokémon can break it down for you. Makes sense to me, at least. (Via Will Thompson)
Sailor suits might work when it comes to fighting evil by moonlight, but in an RPG? Maybe not so much. Check out these cool GIFs by Sasha Mutch, which reimagine a few sailor scouts as fantasy RPG characters: Sailor Moon, the armored cleric (It’s based on Marek Jarocki’s Sailor Moon design.) Sailor Mercury, the mage…
Ever heard of the “cloud glitch” in Super Mario World? It’s a technique that allows you to spawn a usable Lakitu cloud in your item box, which you can then use to speed through the game. Heck, the glitch even allows you to skip some of the animations in the final Bowser fight, peculiarly enough.…
It’s time for The International, Dota 2’s yearly tournament with a ginormous prize pool. New to the game? No worries. You can still watch, thanks to a special stream dedicated to newbies. The game can still seem overwhelming, of course, but it helps to have some concepts and tactics explained. As someone who has just…
Associating Bungie with Halo and Xbox is so last-gen. This generation, Bungie plans to release their newest game, Destiny, on both PlayStation and Xbox platforms—but some fans perceive console favoritism, and they’re not happy about it. If you’ve paid attention to Destiny at all in the past year, then you probably know what sorts of…
Of course people playing GTA Online have formed digital gangs—the “crews” feature, which allows everyone to assign special roles and ranks within a group, is practically built for this. But damn, some people take crews in GTA Online really seriously. Take the Reaper Lords, for example. They are a biker gang that only exists inside…
Astute Pokémon fans noticed something interesting during the Pokémon National Championships this past weekend—something that seemed like it should have been impossible without the use of cheating. Attempting to cheat at Pokémon tournaments isn’t new: literally thousands of people have been caught in the act before. Nevermind the huge prevalence of hacked Pokémon online, be…
Now that the world has had a chance to watch Sailor Moon Crystal this weekend, everyone seems to have something to say about the new reboot. Some stuff is positive, which is unsurprising, given how beloved the franchise is. And some stuff definitely has a tinge of disappointment to it. Regardless of how you feel…

When a Pokémon takes one of our available six slots in a game, it’s not always an inclusion born out of love. Maybe we just need a specific type of Pokémon to deal with a threat. Maybe it’s just a temporary inclusion, the best Pokémon we can find at that point in the game. Maybe…
So serene.
Here’s a new trick for those of you that never learned how to do the famous technique in Melee: a GIF that clearly shows the inputs necessary to perform a “wavedash.” Wavedashing, as you might know, is when someone performs a sliding motion while still being capable of doing ground attacks available to you while…
