A valiant Overwatch sacrifice. In this clip from silvert0rch, a Reinhardt player valiantly takes one for the team by charging a self-destructing D.Va mech and shoving it away from his allies. I will name the hammer in the toolbox under my kitchen sink after you, brave sir. Here’s the full thing:

Job Simulator Lowers Price After Fan Complaints

Despite launching to, er, an amount of fanfare, VR is still by and large uncharted territory. I see a bunch of ideas slowly sliding down a wall. Will any of them stick? Beats me. Even game prices have no real standard, which brings us to Job Simulator’s recent price cut. Job Simulator is one of…

What A Fan Learned About Game Development By Making His Own Star Wars Games

The X-Wing fighters in some of amateur game developer Michael Real’s 14 Star Wars video games fly a little funny. The waddling AT-ST walkers occasionally leap up into the sky as if yanked by an invisible string. The TIE Fighters look like abstract art. Sometimes the stormtroopers march backwards.

My favorite horror game ever, 2010’s Alan Wake, does things differently. It throws fright out the window, gives you every gun imaginable, and…

Role-playing as a tough military officer in The Division, while the other players have no idea what’s going on? That could end up really badly, or it could be a fun run.
