Witcher 3 Cosplay Is Giving Me Chills…

I know, I know, we’ve run a ton of Witcher 3 cosplay lately, but they’ve all been based on the ladies of the game. This? This is some A+ Wild Hunt cosplay. It’s getting frosty in here… Both Eredin and Imlerith are by French cosplayer Tarrer, while the Wild Hunt rider is by compatriot Kuma.…

An Awesome Moment From The Heroes Of The Storm Americas Finals

The Heroes of the Storm Americas finals went down in Las Vegas this weekend, giving rise to many big plays that impressed fans and spectators. One moment from the grand finals stood out as a real show-stopper. It all came down to a face-off between two of the Act I bosses in Diablo III. The…

Holy Shit This Metal Gear Cosplay

Japanese cosplayer Masazi dressed up as Raiden for this year’s Tokyo Game Show, and it is one of the most impressive cosplay outfits I have ever seen. I mean, the suit itself is enough to get hands clapping, but the work that’s gone into that motorized helmet just boggles the mind. You can see more…

12 Years Later, Forgotten RTS Classic Gets New Expansion

Everyone remembers Age of Empires and Age of Kings, but nobody ever talks about their spin-off sibling Age of Mythology (which I think is a better game!). Ah well. Maybe they will now, since the Steam re-release of the game is getting a brand new expansion. Age of Myth—which was released in 2002—focused on three…

Two sights that sum up the like-it-or-dislike-it Mad Max, both captured on my PS4, one macabre and one magnificent. First is up top. Second is below:

Dick move, camptrigg22. But also… bravo. The Steam Community Showcase is a regular look at the cream of the Steam community’s boundless crop. Art, videos, guides—whatever. Each installment highlights a specific piece or person. If you find anything cool on Steam or would like to have your work featured, drop me a line. To contact…

My Little Pony Fighter Makers Return With Something Less Litigious 

When a fan group making a fighting game based on My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic received a cease and desist letter from Hasbro back in 2013, show creator Lauren Faust stepped in to help them develop an original game—Them’s Fightin’ Herds. Developer Mane6 didn’t get a chance to make a free fighting game starring…

Rust‘s Anti-Stream Sniping Mode Exists Because of Cheaters

Stream sniping is when someone watches your stream to get an upper hand—to essentially cheat—against you in a game. It sucks. Rust developer Facepunch is, to my knowledge, the first game developer to build a preventative measure against it into their game. They call it Streamer Mode. Here’s how it works, per a post by…

New Heroes Of The Storm Skins (And Mounts) Are Super Sexy

Fresh off Heroes of the Storm’s Americas Championship games that went down this past weekend, Blizzard teased out some fresh MEAT content coming into the MOBA. Seems to me like the developer has really stepped up its game for alternate character skins lately. First they gave a sneak peek at the next two upcoming heroes—Artanis,…

Something’s Weird With Destiny’s Exotic Loot Drops

It was an interesting weekend for Destiny. Thanks to a new exploit, players got a closer-than-usual look at how the game’s loot system works. What we’ve found is that there’s something weird going on with exotic drops. Here’s a story: On Friday, Destiny’s weekend vendor Xur turned up for his first appearance since The Taken…

Metal Gear Solid V’s Stealth Is Flawless

They don’t call Big Boss a legend for nothing, you know. While there are many different ways of infiltrating a base in Metal Gear Solid V, my favorite so far is this ridiculous strategy developed by Venom C. You can do it too! Step one: get a jeep. Step two: throw a smoke grenade into…

Counter-Strike Player Pulls Off Incredible Ace

Damn. Just… damn. The Counter-Strike community’s been freaking out about an economy round ace pulled off by EnvyUS player Happy—and with good reason. It’s completely ridiculous. First, just watch. It will make your eyeballs explode out of your head no matter how familiar you are with the game: Happy downed the entire opposing team in…

It Took 11,000 Tries To Beat This Brilliantly Evil Mario Maker Level

I didn’t even know you could use Super Mario World bombs in all these different ways. Wow! The creator of the “hardest Super Mario World level ever,” PangaeaPanga, is taking his hellish designs to Mario Maker—and the results are intimidating. Take this course, titled Bomb Voyage, for example. It took around 11 thousand attempts before…

Final Fantasy XV Needs To Chill With The Marketing Dripfeed

Have you heard the news? Final Fantasy XV has chocobos! And also there might be airships. Or maybe there won’t. There’s definitely fishing! Here’s a new, revised version of the trailer you saw a month ago! Over the past few months, perhaps to overcompensate for a decade of development hell, the people behind Final Fantasy…
