When you first leave the vault in Fallout 4, you’ll notice there’s a locked container at the end of the level. It has a gun; a really good gun, by the looks of it. One problem: there’s no way to actually open the container so early in the game. Unless, of course, you know of…

Weeks Later, SOMA‘s Haunting Ending Still Has Players Debating What Happened

I spent a few minutes staring at the screen when SOMA ended. It’s messed up, and even though you can see it coming, it’s still heartbreaking and shocking.

While the world should start bracing itself for a nasty Star Wars: The Force Awakens hangover, it isn’t. Korean pop fans, included.

Video Game Characters Read Mean Tweets

Twitter is mean. Take it easy on Sonic, guys. He’s had a tough couple of years. This is a pretty awesome skewering of all those celebrities read mean tweets videos.

For Two Months, All I Played Was Destiny. I’m Taking A Step Back

Over the last two months, I played a lot of Destiny. Too much, if I’m being honest. I have few regrets: It was fun, it was challenging, it was rewarding and ridiculous. I’ve finally run out of things to do in the game, so I’ve decided to reclaim some hours of my life. Destiny’s The…
