Speedrunners Shatter Ocarina of Time World Record By Warping Into The Credits

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has always been a hotbed of speedrunning activity, shifting and warping with new glitches. Whenever it seems there’s no more time to save, another trick is found.

5 Hours In, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Is Not The RPG I Was Hoping For

I’ve played Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot for five hours so far, and it appears to be part fighting game and part fetch-quest generator. Mostly it’s a rehash of the source material that almost anyone who will be interested in the game will have seen performed half a dozen different ways. Trudging through the beginning of…

There’s a lot to love about Professor Byleth, the protagonist of Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Given the game’s success, it makes perfect sense that Byleth would be a fighter in Super Smash Brothers: Ultimate. After all the buildup to the announcement of the final fighter in the game’s DLC pack, though, it did feel anti-climactic…

Super Smash Bros. Gets Cuphead, Assassin’s Creed, Mega Man, And Rabbids Costumes

Byleth from Fire Emblem: Three Houses not your cup of tea? How about Cuphead, a literal cup of possible tea?

The Next Smash Bros. Character Is Fire Emblem‘s Byleth

During a special presentation this morning, Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai said that he had been working on the fifth downloadable character for Super Smash Bros.

NBA 2K20 Is Laughing All The Way To The Bank

The bedrock of my coverage of the NBA 2K series over the last few years has been how gross the series has become, how it’s so bent toward the whims of advertisers and microtransactions that it’s uncomfortable to even be around, more predatory experience than basketball game. I see a similar sentiment out there among…

Nazi Moron Arrested Over Multiple Swatting Calls

Last week the FBI arrested 19-year-old John William Kirby Kelley, who it’s alleged was part of a group responsible for a range of dangerous swatting incidents. Kelley was also, and I type this with my most surprised face, part of a number of openly racist Steam groups. A release from the ADL, who assisted the FBI…
