If you think this looks like a penis, you are not alone. Gintama character Shinpachi did, too. In Gintama’s 38th episode, the characters built this snow penis sculpture, which most of the characters recognized as the legendary weapon called the Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon. Save for samurai-in-training Shinpachi who thought it looked obscene.…
The Neptunia game series has a simple premise: What if video game consoles were actually magical goddesses in a world filled with video game-inspired characters and in-jokes.

Tomorrow is the second The Game Awards, an online-only evolution of the Spike Video Game Awards. They’re one of the premiere awards for games (and big reveals!), along with the Game Developers Choice Awards and D.I.C.E. Awards. Recently, part of the debate has focused on the people—mostly men—casting votes. The Game Awards, like the Spike…
When in doubt, throw your gun. Throw your gun and pray In this clip, mmberg seemingly avoids certain death by tossing their M4 at precisely the right moment. A bullet appears to ping off it—as opposed to, you know, mmberg’s face—and then they seize the moment to exact some truly righteous vengeance on their foe.…
Last night I played Destiny for the first time in a while. It started out amazing, then got noticeably less amazing. I’d joined a group of my old raid buddies to trythe first of the new challenge modes that are being introduced to the King’s Fall raid. This week, if you beat the Warpriest boss…
We’ve seen some amazing photos come out of this year’s BlizzCon, but here’s a nice video put together by Beat Down Boogie.
If you’re proud of your little wooden shack with a turret or two and a landscape painting, you might not want to take a look at this.

Rainbow Six Siege is out. As in, right now. I know, I was surprised too. But it’s actually a solid team-based shooter, and the ability to blow through walls and floors is a game-changer. Functionally speaking, Rainbow Six Siege feels like a midpoint between Call of Duty and Counter-Strike. The shooting is straightforward enough and…
For decades, being pissed off was the Hulk’s thing. The living embodiment of Bruce Banner’s rage smacked down all comers, using a near-bottomless pit of anger as fuel for his strength. There’s a new Hulk now, though, and he doesn’t seem quite as cranky as the last one. There’ve been lots of versions of Marvel…
This section of SASUKE ver1 might kill me. You need to pull off a tricky and well-timed triple jump that I screwed up by flipping in the air, doing something weird to Mario’s hit box as he came down. Since I was playing the 100-Mario challenge, I don’t have a code to share. If you…
