Stop-Motion Gundam Is Like Toy Story With Plastic Mecha

Opponents Logan Paul Should Fight In The UFC, Ranked

Next week, YouTuber of suicide forest infamy Logan Paul will step into the ring for his first-ever boxing match against marginally more experienced YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI. The fight will be hilariously bad. So of course, people are already talking about Paul’s promising future as a UFC fighter. It all began last week when Paul told TMZ…

Sims 4 Torture House Breaks The Game

Here is a house so bizarre, so broken in its design and execution that when Sims actually try and live in it the game just can’t cope. Made by Aussie James Turner, it’s a hellish square of hedges and fences that asks Sims to travel 3700 squares just to “enter”. And once they get there,…

Decoding Smash Ultimate‘s Apparent New ‘Spirits’ Mode

In the last Nintendo Direct, which was all about Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, game director Masahiro Sakurai said that there’s still one more game mode that he can’t talk about yet. Fans think they’ve figured out what it’s called, but they still don’t know what it actually is. I’ve got a few ideas. At the…

Monster Hunter: World Is Even Better The Second Time Around

I’ve been voraciously replaying Monster Hunter: World on PC over the last few weeks, and have been having a hell of a good time. That’s partly because it’s just a good game, but also because I’m so, so much better at it than I was on my first time through. I first played Capcom’s third-person…

This is hardly tantamount to the erasure of all unauthorized copies of older video games from the internet, but it’s still gotten a lot of folks…

My Personal Battle For Azeroth Is Sorting Through All These Side Quests

There’s only so much punishment a gnome Warlock can take, and I can’t take no more. World of Warcraft’s Battle for Azeroth expansion is live, and the Horde is going to pay for their grievous trespasses. Once I finish finding a little girl some seashells, hunt for some treasure, and some other stuff. But after…

How To Get Monster Hunter: World Working Better On PC

Monster Hunter: World finally came out on PC last week. It’s a hell of a fun game, but the PC version has some frustrating technical problems. Fortunately, fans and modders have been working on unofficial fixes to improve things while we wait for official ones. I’ve been playing the PC version of Monster Hunter: World…

New YouTube Series Explores The One Sided Relationship Between Creators And Fans

When you watch a YouTuber for hours, you can feel like you know them. That’s called a “parasocial relationship.” It’s an uneven relationship between a fan and a creator, sometimes even fostered by creators for financial gain. YouTuber Shannon Strucci is taking an in-depth look at the phenomenon in a series of documentaries. Shannon Strucci…

A Screenshot Tour Back Through The Stunning Assassin’s Creed Origins

Assassin’s Creed Origins was a slow burn. The ancient Egyptian adventure didn’t grab me in its earliest scenes, didn’t immediately hook me with its stoic hero Bayek. It felt fine at first. Solid. But it also felt plain. I kept playing and grew to marvel at it. Across some 100 hours of playtime I discovered…
