Monster Hunter: World‘s New Behemoth Fight Requires A Different Mindset
I was recently on vacation and away from Monster Hunter: World while I enjoyed the wonders of California, and now that I’m home, I’m catching up on new quests. The largest and, to me, the most exciting of the game’s recent developments is the addition of Final Fantasy XIV’s Behemoth. While the fight can be…

UncategorizedYou Can’t Keep Sims Sober
The Sims is a pretty good simulacrum of human life. Sims fall in and out of love, move, change careers, have families, and grow old. It’s easy to see the ups and downs of life reflected in this game—Sims even endure the mundanity of catching a cold and getting bad grades. One thing Sims can’t…

IGN Pulls Ex-Editor’s Posts After Dozens More Plagiarism Accusations Surface
The gaming site IGN is working to remove all of the posts written by former editor Filip Miucin, who was fired last week for plagiarism, after internet sleuths found that dozens of his articles and videos copied or rephrased from other websites without attribution “We’ve seen enough now, both from the thread and our own…

A Next-Gen Yu-Gi-Oh! Playmat
When you think of typical Yu-Gi-Oh! playmats, you think of actual mats. This is hardly your typical setup. Here is the previously mentioned traditional Yu-Gi-Oh! playmat Twitter user Reo posted this do-it-yourself projected playmat. The sound effects are a nice touch! Let’s hope this is the future.

UncategorizedStop-Motion Gundam Is Like Toy Story With Plastic Mecha
For the past few years, YouTuber Rihito Ue has been creating stop-motion clips. They are great. Ue juxtaposes scenes from the Gundam anime with stop-motion recreations. Each clip takes place in a single shot in real-world locations. It’s like the models have come to life, Toy Story style. As IT Media points out, Ue’s clips…

Kotaku EastK-Pop Pick Of The Day: Hot Summer
Apt title for these dog days, don’t you think? (I never went outside today.) Korean entertainment agencies have a curious fascination with debuting groups set up as “counterparts” to others within their company. YG Entertainment did it with 2NE1 and Big Bang, JYP Entertainment (perhaps most egregiously) with 2PM and 2AM, and SM Entertainment with…

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.

UncategorizedSims 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…

In Defense of ROMs, A Solution To Dying Games And Broken Copyright Laws
Various game emulation sites are pulling down their software libraries, or ceasing to exist entirely, following a lawsuit filed by Nintendo against one of the largest of their kind. 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…

There’s only so much punishment a gnome Warlock can take, and I can’t take no more.

Once I finish finding a little girl some seashells, hunt for some treasure, and some other stuff. But after…
