You know, I might actually play Dota 2 if it became a third-person shooter. We probably shouldn’t expect Valve to ever sign off on dropping Dota 2 into a completely new genre, but modder BMD_ has done it for them. BMD_ even pulled it off by using the actual Dota 2 tools and game engine,…

The Crazy Urban Legend of the Killer Arcade Machine

Let me tell you a story. It involves an arcade game, the CIA, epilepsy, suicide and one of the greatest urban legends in all of video gaming. Long before the internet existed as we know it today, and long before more contemporary hoaxes about creepy video games, came the story of Polybius. It existed in…

Scientifically Accurate My Little Pony Is Not Magical At All

Hear that? It’s the sound of magic being sucked out of the world as colorful ponies break their spines falling from cliffs and die from horrible hoof diseases. This is not going to be pretty.

Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’ Is Enjoyable Yet Flawed

When you think of Dragon Ball Z villains, one in particular probably comes to mind: Frieza.

Shadow Of The Colossus Cosplay Is Not Screwing Around
