Why Uncharted 4 Is Naughty Dog’s Last Uncharted
In the run up to Uncharted 4’s release, Naughty Dog’s hinted that this will probably be their last Uncharted. Also, it’s kinda in the title. “A Thief’s End” is a little, you know… final.

Here’s One Way to Deal with China’s Air Pollution: Photoshops
Terrible air pollution is plaguing some parts of China, with local governments urging people to stay indoors. How to cope? What to do? Photoshop, that’s what. Oh, and wear a mask.

Are Strawberry Cake Potato Chips Japan’s Strangest Snack? Nah.
Every month, Japan seems to get a new odd-flavored snack or candy. You might think that’s peculiar, but just know that many Japanese people do, too.

The Reason People Are Freaking Out About Steam ‘Leaks’ Right Now
It’s the talk of the Internet: a big Steam “leak” just dropped, and people are saying it “confirms” things like PC ports of Everybody’s Gone To The Rapture and Journey. Oh, and some little game called Half-Life 3. There is, however, reason to be skeptical. You might be starting to notice a trend here: every…

UncategorizedA Damn Good Concept For Animal Crossing Wii U
For whatever reason, there hasn’t been a proper Animal Crossing game on the Wii U yet. If there was, though, it could look a lot worse than this effort by TheBitBlock. Be sure to skip past the intro; this is a lot more involved than some guy talking into a camera about his hopes and…

UncategorizedMy favorite Just Cause 3 moment so far. In a mere 23 seconds, I soared gloriously, crashed hilariously, and encountered a man who looked like Luigi from Super Mario Bros. After scrutinizing the bag of broken bones before him, he blurted, “Rico! I have your old race car tattooed on my back!” and casually strolled…

UncategorizedA Real-Life Shoryuken Would Knock Your Head Clean Off
Using the power of math and science, Vsauce determined that an average-sized fist performing a Rising Dragon Fist would apply enough force to decapitate a normal human being.

UncategorizedFar Cry Primal Could Be Exactly What The Series Needs Right Now
At face value, Far Cry Primal looks like an easy diversion for Ubisoft to take from its main line of militaristic shooters—a side project full of vicious animals instead of rifles and rocket launchers.
