CultureOne-Handed Transformers: Devastation Speedrun Lights Our Darkest 45 Minutes
Here we see speedrunner Halfcoordinated taking out the Autobots’ most feared enemy with one punch during his Awesome Games Done Quick run of Transformers: Devastation on its highest difficulty level.

SOMA Mod Stops Monsters From Attacking, Improves The Game
SOMA is a contemplative horror game dripping with psychological, oftentimes existential dread. It’s also about running from scary monsters. Surprisingly, however, stripping out that second part actually makes the game more enjoyable and, in some ways, scarier. The Dreamer’s rather derisively named Wuss Mode: Monsters Won’t Attack mod is actually really cool. They describe it…

UncategorizedMy Mario Maker Rivalry Is Over, And Evil Won (For Now)
Sometimes, good guys lose. That’s what happened on Sunday; I was unable to beat the latest stage from Giant Bomb’s Dan Ryckert: The Armageddan. I was close—a few times, very close—but in the end, despite my facial hair on the line, I lost. There are Mario Maker levels, and there are Ryckert’s Mario Maker levels.…

UncategorizedPony Island Is One Seriously Twisted Game
Pony Island is not about ponies. It’s about escaping a demonic arcade game developed by the devil to capture the souls of the living. It just features strong pony themes.

UncategorizedMan Runs Through Fallout 4’s Glowing Sea Completely Naked, Actually Survives
Most of us probably walked through the Glowing Sea, Fallout 4’s most irradiated area, decked in Power Armor or a Hazmat suit. Because we’re wimps, apparently. Watch as stanleyx2002 braves the entire Glowing Sea without a single piece of armor or weapon. Judging from the commentary, Stanley didn’t really think he could do it! Somehow,…
