Dragon’s Dogma, Capcom’s open-world fantasy RPG that released yesterday, has been the subject of some controversy that Capcom fans are now well familiar with.

Someone Made A Trials Evolution Map Where You Drive On Dragons
Achievement Hunter’s trek through maps of Trials Evolution has recently taken them through a level full of dragons and burning lava. Dragons.

Capcom is clearly trying new things that seem inventive. I want to love Dragon’s Dogma. I want to be able to support a game that tries its hand at something new, and hope that…

Rap Videos Straight Out Of Skyrim Are Surprisingly Familiar
Alcohol, bragging, dancing women, reappropriation of the word “word”…this rap video featuring MC Dovahkiin, also known as Big Dragonborn features all the necessary components for a modern rap video. I suggest you stay until the end, where the female rapper steps in and stylistically puts everyone else to shame (the experience just would not be…

The Ghost Team Would Make For Awesome Interns
The folks over at IGN finally ended their search for the ideal intern with a Ghost from Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. Not only does he efficiently carry out your daily needs like coffee and a new pen, but think of all the infiltration missions you can send him on. Plus, turns out he’s a pretty…

If You Suck At Draw Something, Angry Mutated Gorillas Might Beat Your Neighbors
This video takes a bit too long to get to the point, so I’ve taken the liberty of skipping ahead for you. The only thing you missed is the set up and something about pain and ninja stars. These guys can be fairly hit or miss, but you can’t deny the hilarity of a mutated…

Now This Is Some Serious Borderlands 2 Loot
No, it’s not the result of a customizable weapon. It’s just 2K community manager Elizabeth Tobey‘s dachshund, Pancake. Isn’t Pancake just adorable? The real Borderlands 2 collector’s edition won’t come with a dachshund to sit pretty in your loot chest, but it does come with a bunch of other goodies. Pancake is famous [dahanese via…

Here’s a Clip From Community, Entirely in 16-Bit Video Game Form
Do you love NBC’s comedy show, Community? I love Community. Though the show often pokes fun at film and television tropes—typically through the dorky, yet lovable character Abed—the characters sometimes toy around with video game jokes, too. Last night’s show was more than just a few funny video game quips and references. It was 20…
