What We Liked And Didn’t Like About Pokémon Let’s Go

Mike Fahey and I have been battling all up and down Kanto in Pokémon Let’s Go. Now that our respective quests are at an end, we sat down to talk about Master Trainers, playing with kids, and how weird Pokémon type weaknesses are. Gita Jackson: Hey Fahey! It’s amazing to be in the presence of…

Pokémon Let’s Go‘s Leveling System Raises Some Morbid Questions

If Pokémon Let’s Go is banking on my nostalgia, it’s working, but it’s also bringing to mind some disturbing questions about the nature of Pokémon. ’90s kids’ idle fantasies of weed-whacking our way through forests alongside some loyal, sweet Pokémon companion are realized in the latest Pokémon game, which even lets you pet and play…

How To Find Fallout 76‘s Mothman

Fallout 76‘s post-apocalyptic West Virginia is a mean place with few friends. Instead of getting your face chewed off by snallyghasters, why not spend time with the adorable Mothman? I’ll show you how in this video. The Mothman can be randomly found throughout the game world, but the chance of an encounter is low. Instead,…

Really Big Whopper Coming To Burger King In Japan

Later this month, a very special Whopper is going on sale in Japan. Packed with five flame-grilled patties, this Whopper will be available only for a limited time. The special Whopper goes on sale November 29 in Japan, which is “good meat day.” It’s not a national holiday, but a pun. November 29 is 11-29.…

Nissan’s Carlos Ghosn Always Seemed Doomed

In Japanese, there is an expression: deru kui wa utareru (出る杭は打たれる). It’s the equivalent of the English phrase, “The nail that sticks up gets hammered down.” The expression immediately lept to mind yesterday when I read that Carlos Ghosn, the man credited with saving Nissan, had been arrested for allegedly using company money for personal…

Ninja Keeps Reporting Fortnite Rivals, And It’s Not Sitting Well With Fans

It’s one thing for a regular player to report somebody who might be cheating or griefing in a game like Fortnite, but when a Twitch star does it? Then it unavoidably carries a different weight, especially when it’s the Twitch star, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins. Over the past week, Blevins has found himself surrounded by an…

14 Years Later, Half-Life’s Remake Is Almost Finished

I reviewed Half-Life remake Black Mesa—which began development in 2004—six years ago. It was great, but it was also missing something: the game’s final act, set on the alien world of Xen. That’ll be out next year, and if you’re wondering why it’s taken so long, it’s because the section has been almost completely remade.…

A Sexy Cyberpunk Dating Sim About (And By) Trans Folk

I have played too many games that treat trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming characters as sexual objects. These games portray the lives and identities of marginalized, real-world people as little more than titillation for the (assumed cisgender) player. Hardcoded is not that game. It is a story about dating trans people, written by trans people.…

The New Spyro Doesn’t Have Subtitles In Its Cutscenes, Which Is Crazy

While it has them during gameplay, the new Spyro Reignited Trilogy doesn’t have subtitles during its cutscenes. So anyone who is hearing impaired, or just likes to play with the sound down/off and wants to enjoy the game’s story, is shit out of luck. This is very much not normal, which is why what might…
