Raw Fish Makes For Some Beautiful Food Art

Instagram user Mikyou loves slicing up fish and making some incredible sashimi art. Sashimi, of course, is thinly sliced raw fish (sushi is raw fish served on vinegar rice). Typically, sashimi is made from tuna, salmon, and Japanese amberjack, among other fish. Here is some of the sashimi that Mikyou has sliced for elegant homecooking…

Baptiste Is Fun To Play, But He Probably Won’t Shake Up Overwatch Just Yet

Shortly after Overwatch’s newest hero, Baptiste, was announced, I started seeing Blizzard devs position the Haitian combat medic as a counter to GOATS, the game’s unpopular defense-oriented meta. “Alright,” I said to myself. “This seems promising.” But then I played him, and now I have mixed feelings. Overwatch’s current meta is heavily reliant on heroes…

WARSAW Looks To Bring Darkest Dungeon To The Second World War

WARSAW is an upcoming “turn-based tactical rpg” set during the Second World War. Obviously there’s a big Darkest Dungeon influence here, not just from the genre but the art style as well. Still, this is a part of the war (the Polish resistance to German occupation) that isn’t covered by video games very often—and when…

Saying Goodbye To The Walking Dead With Cosplay

With The Walking Dead series about to come to a torturous close, fans are getting ready to say their goodbyes to a game that’s been around for nearly seven years.

Fan Tries To Fix Yakuza’s PC Version, And It’s Fascinating

Silent, normally a Grand Theft Auto modder, played Yakuza 0 on PC recently and loved it. What he didn’t love, though, was the game’s lighting, which at launch was kinda busted, so he decided to get into the code and fix it himself This is normally where a lot of these kinds of stories end.…

Accountants Throw One Hell Of A Doom Party

Work is hell, but usually in just the metaphorical sense; you wouldn’t expect an office full of accountants to actually look like the kind of place you’d run through with a chainsaw saving humanity from space demons. And yet here we are, with LPL Financial in San Diego throwing this little soiree for Halloween last…

In case you missed it, I checked out Overwatch’s new hero Baptiste earlier with Ethan. Be sure to follow us on Twitch for daily streams too!

Players Who Hate Overwatch‘s Brigitte Are Harassing Her Voice Actress

For the past few months, the Overwatch community has been belaboring the same point: Many think the HP-heavy “GOATS” meta is tedious and sloggy. They’ve directed much of their resentment toward Brigitte, a hero considered to be a pillar of GOATS. Now some people are even going after her voice actor, who has nothing to…

Trials Rising Players Have Had Enough Of The Game’s Ass-Slapping Taunts

Overall, the motosport platformer Trials Rising is a pretty fun game, even on Switch where it’s been badly visually downgraded. One thing that’s not fun is having your nose rubbed in it every time you fail to beat a rival’s time. In Trials Rising you’re not just trying to complete a course, something that can…

Why Almost Every Pac-Man Player Grabbed The Left Side Of The Machine

A fascinating essay by writer Cat DeSpira points out an easily observed, yet seldom-discussed facet of the history of the world-famous game Pac-Man: A near-universal part of the experience of playing the game in arcades was to grip the side of the machine with one’s non-joystick hand. Using dozens of historical photos, DeSpira makes the…

New Sims DLC Lets You Solve An Alien Mystery—It’s Great And I Hate It

The Sims 4‘s Strangerville game pack is unlike anything I’ve seen before in this game. It’s also very scary. When most people think of The Sims, they think about removing all the ladders in their pools so their Sims drown. While that’s fun, Sims can get out of the pool on their own now, and…
