Survival Games Can Get Pretty Damn Lonely
That’s why Kotajiro wrote a guide on how to make your own girlfriend in out-of-nowhere survival hit Stranded Deep. Just a couple quick modifications, and it works perfectly for the splinter-ridden dude of your dreams too.

CultureRace Leads To New World Record For Collecting 120 Super Mario 64 Stars
There’s a new world record for getting all 120 stars in Super Mario 64 quickly—and it’s kind of amazing that it happened at all. Yesterday, a speedrunner known as Nero raced against other speedrunner, Puncayshun. The goal was to see who could get to 120 stars first—that is, to try to beat each other. And…

CultureAll Of Besiege Beaten With A Single, Perfect Machine
It’s hard not to marvel at the boundless (sometimes disturbing) creativity with which people approach Steam construction mega-hit Besiege. This, though, is different. Cold, mechanical precision.

The original Half-Life, in my opinion, is one of the most memorable games of all time. This, however, is not Half-Life as you remember it. Not at all. The purveyors of endless video game nightmare fuel over at Vinesauce got their hands on a Half-Life mod called Glitch-Life. In short, it randomizes Gordon Freeman’s legendary…

I just got done reading Red Seas Under Red Skies, so I’m super stoked on pirates right now.
