UncategorizedThank God Marvel Remembered to Make Their Star Wars Comics Funny
In this week’s Star Wars #13, there’s a scene where R2D2 engages in robot shit-talking with his evil fleshbag-killing counterpart. Poor little guy can’t back up his bleep-bloops, though, and runs screaming from the fight. It’s a hilarious moment that serves as a great reminder of how funny Star Wars can—and, really, should— be. Originally…

UncategorizedGetting Started With Devilian, The Mildly Awkward Diablo-Style MMO
There are four character classes in Trion Worlds’ Diablo-style MMO Devilian, launching next week in North America—busty woman, stout man, Dante from Devil May Cry and uncomfortably young-looking girl with a gun.

CultureFallout 4, Reimagined In Counter-Strike
Just another video of Fallout 4. Nothing to see here. Except… hey, wait a second. HankWank gave Fallout 4’s “The Wanderer” trailer a Counter-Strike makeover, and he pretty much nailed it. Compare that to the original: Now I really wish Fallout 4 had a chicken follower. I would call him Chickenmeat, obviously. You’re reading Steamed,…

I was more mixed on Just Cause 3 than I was expecting to be, but the game can still be a hell of a lot of fun. It’s definitely more fun once you’ve gotten your head around how to fly without crashing into everything. I played a lot of Just Cause 2, but it still…

Team Fortress 2 Player’s Cheat Program Backfires On Them
Cheaters are the worst. In Team Fortress 2, they use illicit programs to emulate near-perfect aim. That does not, however, mean they’re untouchable. 4LTRU15T1CD3M1G0D shared a brilliant moment in which they climbed up to a TF2 cheater’s sniper perch and swatted the ugly bug like a ripe old maggot. Alternatively, you can watch the full…

This is the new Quinn, a ranged archer character in League of Legends who fights with a giant vicious eagle named “Valor” perched on her shoulder.

The huge new Wii U JRPG Xenoblade Chronicles X seems like it wants about 80 hours of my life. I’ve given it 18 so far, and I’m going to give it some more. I’m not really a JRPG guy, mind you. I love the Fire Emblems, but don’t really care about many Final Fantasys. I’ll…
