McDonald’s Cosplay Stunt Backfires in Taiwan
Every New Year’s Eve in Taiwan, the staff at local McDonald’s restaurants cosplay. This year, some of the threads didn’t exactly go over well. At all. In the past, staff have dressed up as Dragon Ball characters, maids, and even Chucky from Child’s Play. McDonald’s employees don’t typically dress like this, and the cosplay is…

Valve Bans Match-Fixing Counter-Strike Players For Life
Nearly a year after a notorious scandal, Valve has clarified their stance on the punishment for match-fixing (that is, conspiring to lose on purpose, typically for the purposes of illicit moneymaking) in pro Counter-Strike: a permanent ban from competition. Not “indefinite.” Permanent. With teams like iBuyPower—whose members were found to have participated in a major…

You may have heard there’s a new Katamari Damacy game on both iOS and Android. There is! It’s called Tap My Katamari. It is awful. I played it yesterday so you don’t have to.

Player Creates Crowd-Sourced Trash Talk Generator For Steam Games
For many players, friendly (or unfriendly) trash talk is as much a part of competitive games as, well, gaming. Truly clever quipping, however, ain’t easy, so one Steam user decided to crowdsource an automated trash talk generator. This being the Internet, things of course went horribly wrong—at least, at first. Davis Ford’s Shittalk Generator allows…

I Started These 138 Video Games In 2015, ‘Finished’ 24
For the 10th year in a row (!), I’ve tallied the games I played in the past 12 months and have counted the ones I’ve “finished.” It’s clear that it’s time for some changes. I started this practice in late 2006, a year in which I played 102 games including the likes of The Legend…

UncategorizedUndertale Has One Of The Greatest Final Boss Fights In RPG History
For a few hours, Undertale is a solid, charming game. Then you get to the ending—the real ending—and suddenly you get why everyone’s so obsessed. In fact, I’d argue that Undertale’s true final boss—which you can only see by completing the game as a pacifist—is on par with the best finales in RPG history, rivaling…
