The PS5 Logo Jokes Are Pretty Good And Inevitable

Earlier this week, Sony revealed the PlayStation 5 logo. Where you surprised that it looks like the PS4 logo? And the PS3 logo? You shouldn’t be! That didn’t stop the inevitable wisecracks. As you can see, the PlayStation logo really got even more codified after the PS3 logo’s redesign. Seems about right. Too bad this…

Sensible Soccer Mod Drags The Classic Sports Game Into The 2020s

‘90s classic Sensible Soccer, which alongside NBA Jam is one of the purest expressions of arcade sports simplicity, hasn’t had an official release in over a decade. A new mod for the original, out now, more than makes up for that. Sensible World of Soccer 2020 updates everything that can be updated about the game…

If you missed my bumbling misadventures in Jedi: Fallen Order, fear not! You can enjoy all the banter with my pal Paul, Salacious Crumb impressions, lightsaber flailing, and more in this YouTube archive.

People Love To Pee Outside Conan O’Brien’s House In Death Stranding

Hideo Kojima never met a celebrity he didn’t want to include in Death Stranding. As such, his latest game contains all sorts of celebrity cameos. Talk show host Conan O’Brien makes one such appearance, as a prepper slash cosplayer. For reasons that are not entirely clear, players have covered his house in pee. If you…

The Battlefront II Popes

Ah, it’s nice to see a Battlefront mod look beyond the Star Wars universe and incorporate spiritual representatives from other faiths. Like *checks notes* the Catholic Church.

Annual Steam Release Numbers Used To Climb Every Year, But In 2019, They Held Steady

I’m fairly certain that I haven’t played 8,400 games in my entire life, but that’s the number of new releases that rolled up their sleeves and threw down for Steam users’ time and money last year. That is, obviously, a lot. But it’s not that much more than the number of games released on Steam…

Fallout 76 Camp Tortures Players With Math

If you thought Fallout 76 couldn’t get any more nihilistic, there’s now a campsite that burns players alive if they don’t solve math problems fast enough. It’s the latest creation from Fallout 76 player Korindabar, one of the game’s most notorious builders. Korindabar is responsible for a number of “trap” campsites that lure in unsuspecting…

Start Your Day To The Soothing Sounds Of These Astounding Final Fantasy XIV Bards

It’s not uncommon to hear bards play a tune or two in Final Fantasy XIV. Sometimes that’s a light twiddling song on a flute, sometimes that means playing “Megalovania” in the middle of a crowded bar. Last night, I ran into a fantastic impromptu concert. The real world’s a disaster right now. Lighten the load…
