Dating Simulator Lets You Netflix And Chill

In Flix and Chill, your goal is to basically Netflix and chill.

Nintendo Switch Game About Sheep Seems Horny, Is Actually Sad

This new Nintendo Switch game about sheep is a little bit horny, and also very morbid. When you look at Shephy on the Nintendo Switch eShop, it looks like a cute card game about sheep. And for the most part it is. The goal of the game is to use all the cards in your…

How Three People Crushed Final Fantasy VII In Less Than Eight Hours

By the time it was Final Fantasy VII’s turn on the Summer Games Done Quick schedule, the trio of runners were already tired.

If You Hear Someone Getting Harassed In An Online Game, Don’t Stay Silent

“I think we’d do better with a healer,” I suggested to my Overwatch team earlier this week. We were in the spawn room defending the Temple of Anubis and, without a healer, we would quickly forfeit the objective. Not even the slightest pause passed before a teammate told me that, instead, “What we need is…

Popular Pokémon Minecraft Mod Gets Shut Down [Update]

Pixelmon, a robust Pokémon-themed modification for Minecraft released in 2012, can no longer be downloaded.

Lode Runner Is A Classic No Matter What It Looks Like

While it’s sporting fancy new voxel graphics, the heart of Lode Runner Legacy is the same satisfying gameplay that made creator Douglas E. Smith’s prototypical puzzle platformer one of the greatest games of the ‘80s. Lode Runner’s still got it. Lode Runner Legacy, released this week on Steam by Tozai Games, is the latest in…

Live-Action Fullmetal Alchemist Movie Changes Hair Color

In Fullmetal Alchemist, the characters Edward Elric, Riza Hawkeye and Winry Rockbell all have blond hair. But in the upcoming live-action film, only two of them do. Winry, instead, has brown. Here’s how Winry’s locks compare. And how it looks in the movie: Some fans seem baffled. Why only change one of the characters with…

A Closer Look At Cactuar Ass

You wouldn’t think that Fantasy Fantasy’s cacti enemies would have terrific tushies. Then again, you’ve probably never thought about their backsides. Typically, when Cactuar is depicted, the reoccurring character is shown in a dash pose.  We usually see a Cactuar head on, so there isn’t that much of an opportunity to check out the caboose. …

Persona 5 Is Now Playable On The PC (Via Emulation)

“The Target Area Is Only Two Metres Wide…”

Turns out the sign on top of Los Santos’ Liquor Hole in GTA V is just big enough to fit a skydiving man through. Nice one, l-Orion-l
