I Hope This Theory About Life Is Strange‘s Last Episode Is Wrong

In less than 24 hours, we’ll finally know how Life Is Strange ends, but I’m worried I already know what trick the developers are going to pull in the finale. The second a new Life Is Strange episode is released, I’m scrambling to hit play. Flaws ‘n all, I’ve come to genuinely enjoy the quirky…

The Dark Souls 3 stress test happened this weekend, and hey, at least I beat a boss. Tossing a firebomb at the last second was, uh, my plan the whole time. You can reach the author of this post at [email protected] or on Twitter at @patrickklepek

Competitive Call of Duty Star Says Leaving Twitch Is His “Biggest Regret” 

A year ago, Matthew “NaDeSHoT” Haag announced that he would be streaming Call of Duty on competitive gaming site MLG.TV exclusively in a deal that the New York Times once called “lucrative.” Last weekend, the former top player looked back on that decision—and came pretty close to calling it a mistake.

The Evolution Of A Destiny Character

In a game about collecting guns and armor (and shooting aliens), everything you put on your character should make you look cooler, right? To test that theory, I took 54 screenshots of my Destiny character over the past month, as she leveled up. I got the idea shortly before the September release of Destiny’s big…

Why The Latest Number One Mario Maker Course Is Such Garbage

Here, captured in a three second GIF, is the entirety of the current top-rated Mario Maker course. It’s hilariously bad. How in the world did it climb the ranks, then?

World of Warcraft Players Discover Secret Cave With Pet Inside

Although WoW is a huge game, it doesn’t have many secrets. Fans datamine everything before a patch or an expansion goes live and immediately share it online. Sometimes tiny things do remain hidden though. But only for a few weeks. Terky the Murloc was one of those Asia-only pets, not added to the game on…

Someone Built A LEGO Safe With A Working Combination Lock

LEGO builder Jason Allemann has proved that 3-number combination locks aren’t that complicated, and a few carefully assembled LEGO bricks are enough to create one. It’s a pretty smart build as you can see in the video, designed to be impossible to take apart without knowing the combination… or without using a hammer. Time to…

I’ll Never Skip Tales Of Zestiria‘s Opening Movie

Nothing gets me ready for buttoning through endless expository dialog like the music from the opening of Tales of Zestiria. There are Japanese role-playing games with openings I watch once and then skip, and then there are JRPGs that I turn on just to watch the opening sequence over and over again. Grandia III is…

Move Over Hello Kitty, This Sanrio Food Shits

Gudetama might be Sanrio’s laziest character. And this might be Sanrio’s most disgusting-looking food. But really, we shouldn’t judge food on whether or not it looks like it’s shitting all over the place. I’m willing to bet these are delicious. Previously, Sanrio had Gudetama themed cafes in Japan, but this month, one set up shop…

The Evangelion Bullet Train Looks Truly Magnificent in Real Life

We’ve seen the teaser images. We’ve seen the concept art. But nothing, I repeat nothing, can prepare you for seeing an actual Neon Genesis Evangelion bullet train. The bullet train won’t be in service until next month in Japan, but today, it was shown off to the Japanese press, and Tokyo Keizai, Inside Games, Tetsudo…

Japanese Restrooms Are Still the Best on Earth

This the Orifuji. It’s the most polite toilet paper dispenser you’ll find and further proof that Japanese restrooms really are terrific. Joining the ranks of heated seats, potties that play music, and commodes that have night lights is a new toilet paper dispenser that automatically cuts the toilet paper so you don’t have to tear…
