Destiny 2 players have spent the last week trying to crack a complex maze and earlier this morning the final pieces fell into place.

The Seven Deadly Sins Anime Is Looking Pretty Rough

Damn. The latest season of Seven Deadly Sins features some iffy animation. No doubt it will get cleaned up for the ultimate Blu-ray release, but in the meantime, fans have to contend with some jarring art. Via 2ch, here are some of the most egregious examples.

The Witcher series has produced some pretty good games! Let’s not kid ourselves, though, and pretend every Witcher game has been an all-time great. Because that would mean you, like me, had forgotten all about The Witcher: Crimson Trail, released all the way back in 2007. It was a phone game developed by a third-party…

Dad Builds Custom Xbox Adaptive Controller So Daughter Can Play Zelda: Breath Of The Wild

Xbox’s Adaptive Controller has done some amazing things as far as accessibility in video games goes, but the setup isn’t hard-wired to only work on a Microsoft console. It can, with a little work, also run on the Nintendo Switch, and in doing so bring an enormous smile to a little girl’s face. Rory Steel…
