Professional League of Legends player Yu “XiaoWeiXiao” Xian was suspended from the game’s ongoing championship series today as Riot began an investigation into allegations that he played on other people’s accounts to help level them up in exchange for money.

I mean, there are offensive failures here too, but ungh, this is agonising to watch. It’s like that Highlight Reel shot, but in reverse. Thanks everyone who sent this in.
Cherno Samba was, at least in Championship Manager, a superstar
The devil in this particular equation? “Legitimacy.” Today news broke that the UFC parted ways with one of their most recognizable figures. Not a fighter, not a commentator, not even a referee—but rather, a cutman by the name of Jacob “Stitch” Duran. Cutmen play a massively important role in the octagon: they tend to injuries…
This custom build, which crams a PS4 into a laptop-style case, is actually called the R2-D2 Star Wars Themed PlayBook 4. But I’m sticking with R2-PS4, because it’s not a mouthful. Built by Eddie Zarick, with help from R2-D2 replica specialists Astromech, the custom case is 3D-printed, and while it makes cute little R2 sounds…
It’s not justthe Batman who can pull off amazing video game cosplay. The Arkham Knight, he wants in on it too, with this nutso 3D-printed outfit.

I thought I was finished with Journey. I was wrong. Originally released in 2012, ThatGameCompany’s beloved PS3 sand-surfing simulator has been re-released this week on the PlayStation 4. Ireviewed it back when it came out, which feels like it was a lifetime ago. Since then, I’ve seen critical acclaim, backlash, and back-backlash. I’ve seen its…
Sorry, Geralt.

Fallout 3 wasn’t built to feature functional subway trains. Bethesda’s extremely weird workaround? You. Recently a 4chan user claimed to have discovered that Fallout 3’s trains—specifically, the Presidential metro in Fallout 3’s ‘Broken Steel’ DLC—were actually hats worn by non-player characters who’d run beneath the game world, thereby creating the appearance of a functional train—you…
Kenny Sun wanted to make games for a living, but in the weeks after graduating college, quietly resigned himself to accepting a boring programming job, something to help pay the bills. Then, he noticed a huge spike in traffic on his website. That’s what happens with a PewDiePie video. Everyone has an opinion about YouTube’s…
Here is a cool thing that just happened in Destiny, a video game about learning how to somehow salvage your IRL relationships after you just spent 48 straight hours playing Trials of Osiris. Using some ingenuity and 10 months worth of research, a group of players has figured out how to destroy every Gorgon in…
I’ve always had a hard time with Cyborg. I wanted to like DC Comics’ bionic superhero but something’s always held me back from digging Victor Stone the same way I like, say, The Black Panther or Robin. That started changing this week. When I first encountered Cyborg in the old New Teen Titans comic, I…
