PC gaming continues to bring us ridiculous crossovers, this time mixing a little Street Fighter V with Overwatch. As showcased by PC Best Mods, you’ll note that this version of Tracer drops her guns in favor of hand-to-hand combat. Really, the Tracer model is just skin over Cammy, so she can’t do any of her…

My favorite a-ha moment happened when the developers were guiding us through…
Dragon Quest VII was one of the biggest games of its time, a significant leap over its predecessors in terms of raw size.

Why build a massive PC case out of Overwatch’s bespectacled, science-tastic simian? Alternative question: why not? The build, which was on display at E3 this week, was given life by the tech warlocks at PCJunkieMods. They even made videos chronicling the process: It’s a damn impressive piece of work.

E3’s press conferences are great for showcasing all those fancy-pantsy new games but, more importantly, they’re also an invaluable source of the most glorious corporate folly: a place to revel in poorly-conceived skits, mirthless misfires and moments of such inexplicable lunacy that its impossible to see how anyone ever thought they might be a good…
