I Love You, Resetti, Nintendo’s Most Helpful Asshole

Of all the weird and wonderful characters in Nintendo’s pantheon of talking animals/plumbers/fungi, I think I like Animal Crossing’s Resetti the best. Even if he is a big ol’ meanie. If you haven’t played the series, Resetti is a mole that you sometimes encounter. Not in your regular daily activities of walking around, fishing and…

Oversnatch: The Kotaku Review

Brazzers’ porn parody of Overwatch, titled Oversnatch, starts strong, but by the end it’s sweaty, spent, and sagging. Warning: this post is NSFW.

Widowmaker (played by Aletta Ocean) is introduced with Overwatch-style text displaying her…

Overwatch’s Zarya Translates Nicely Into Heroes Of The Storm

The great thing about bringing Overwatch characters into Heroes of the Storm is that their shooter skills are perfect for Blizzard’s MOBA. Zarya’s damage absorption and gravity manipulation skills make her a pink-haired point-and-click powerhouse. Absorbing attacks to up her own is Zarya’s thing, kind of like Bishop from the X-Men, only with a gravity…
