Serious question. I mean, this recreation of Half-Moon Mill is something I should be able to click on and have in my house, not simply admire from afar. Then again, an actual LEGO set would skimp on the lush fully-modelled terrain. It was built by Pieter Dennison, and you can see more of his work…
Cosplayer Amiko-chan decided to actually stay underground for this Fallout shot. And why not? Let everyone else go above ground and fry and be eaten and shot in the face. There are lunchboxes and working TV sets in the vaults. Photos by Dzeta&Aiger.
The first Halo was chock full of memorable levels. Know what would’ve made them even more memorable? Goddamn dinosaurs. Modder Spartan464748 decided to turn that weirdly specific fever dream into a reality, creating gorgeous renditions of Halo: Combat Evolved’s second and fourth levels—“Halo” and “The Silent Cartographer”, respectively—in Ark: Survival Evolved. Lots of evolution going…
Mario fan and glitch hunter extraordinaire Pannenkoek2012 has a contract for you, Witcher: if you can recreate and record a weird hiccup he recently saw on Twitch, he’ll give you $1000.

Football Manager, a time-consuming game about running a football team, is very hands-on. It does, however, have a mode that lets you simulate seasons in case you want to skip a few. This is the tale of Lorf_Yimzo, who skipped a lot more than a few. Using Football Manager 15, he set the game on…
Usually when Riot tweaks stuff in League of Legends, they do so strictly because of balance considerations. Maybe a character is too weak in one area, or too strong in another. Today the developer took a surprising approach, saying that it’s reworking four middling champs because they aren’t interesting The four specific champions being changed…

Let’s be real: Five Nights at Freddy’s games are not pretty. That’s part of the charm. Still, it’s something else to gaze upon a version of FNAF that shows us what the games could have looked like with modern graphics. Behold: Five Nights at Freddy’s, remade in Unreal 4 by Redditor Adam‘Sklarlight’ Sklar “I decided…
Today Riot revealed a buttload of changes it’s making to defensive items in League of Legends, starting with the upcoming 5.16 patch. That’s far enough off that we can’t say for sure how the tweaks will affect the game, but it looks like a lot of core pieces of armor are getting nerfed. So long…
Rocket League is the surprise hit of the summer, one that has plenty thinking “why didn’t anyone think of this before?” The developers of Rocket League did. They released Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars way back in 2008, but it went mostly ignored. Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars was a footnote in the history of PlayStation Network…
The second day of the biggest DOTA 2 tournament around, The International, was at a standstill for three hours today, thanks to an intense DDoS attack. The matches have since resumed.

World of Warcraft has hit its lowest subscriber total in ages. As part of a quarterly financial statement, Blizzard announced that WoW hit a recent-years low of 5.6 million subscribers.

I must confess, it’s hard not to be excited about the future of Destiny, a video game in which players must travel through space fighting enemies, getting loot, and beta-testing Destiny. On September 15, with the launch of the upcoming expansion The Taken King, Destiny is entering what Bungie’s calling Year Two. We first saw…
Even if they’re a level behind, you might think that two of the best characters in Heroes of the Storm could take out the notoriously easy-to-kill frog thing Murky. Think again. That pufferfish attack, paired with his hero-ensnaring-beating-over-the-head-with-a-large-fish ult! Amazing positioning. Or terrible positioning, depending on who you’re talking to. My guess is that the…
Thanks to the release of Rare Replay today, Xbox One owners will now be able to play seven Nintendo 64 classics on Microsoft’s console.
