CultureLet’s Open Up A Box From The Japan Crate Snack Delivery Service
What’s it like opening up a box filled with random Japanese snacks and candy every month? Much like this, though probably without nearly as much beard.

The long-in-development Portal 2 mod just launched on Steam, and it looks damn impressive. Boasting a 6-10 hour standalone storyline and puzzles every so slightly more challenging than Portal 2’s, it aims to…

Batman: Arkham Knight And The Art Of A Good PC Port
Prevailing wisdom says that if you delay the PC version of a major game, PC gamers get mad. Really mad. Funny thing about prevailing wisdom, though: it’s often wrong. Or, to be more precise, it’s rarely unanimously right. I can understand why Warner and Rocksteady might’ve felt like they needed to have Batman: Arkham Knight…
