Blizzard’s Jeff Kaplan Has Some Thoughts About Overwatch‘s Meta

Ah, the meta. Sometimes OK, sometimes terrible, always there, it’s rare that it’s not a hot topic of conversation among fans of Overwatch (or, well, any online game), and a boring one at that.

There’s A New Official Mobile Tetris

EA and Popcap’s popular Tetris Blitz is shutting down in April, but do not fret. There is another.

Let’s Be Happy And Listen To Portal Songs

GlaDOS, the artificially intelligent computer system from Portal, is one of the greatest video game villains of all time, but she’s an even better singer.
