Ah, to stay young. And get totally trashed at the same time. Who knew? According to Japanese site Entabe, Suntory has rolled out a new low-malt beer called “Precious.” It’s currently only available in Hokkaido Prefecture (so, yes, this sounds like a test run). Each 350ml can of beer is 5 percent alcohol but contains…
This is the MMOne. It’s a “3-axis virtual-reality gaming chair.” And it might make you barf. I know it would make me. Just watching this clip is making me woozy. According to its official site, the chair is compatible with gamepads, joysticks, and the Oculus Rift. There are also roller coaster and space sims for…
Rodea the Sky Soldier, the newest game by Sonic the Hedgehog and Nights into Dreams creator Yuji Naka was released on Wii U earlier this month.

Sometimes, The Bests covers the big stuff. Other times, like today, it’s the small stuff. Confession: I ask a lot of my platforms and services. I don’t just like them to work well, I like them to look good while doing it. So Steam has forever been in my bad books: it works just fine,…
Artist RJ Palmer has been doing the whole “realistic Pokemon” thing for a while now, but it’s usually been a case of “oh wow that’s neat”, not “ahhhhh God I’m never going in the ocean again”. His latest work is the legendary Pokemon Kyogre, who is normally a pretty sleek, futuristic-looking fish, but who is…
Have you watched the video for True Survivor, from the Kung Fury soundtrack? You should. It’s kind of amazing. David Hasselhoff taps into the 80s for this video (music by Mitch Murder), which is also full of fun video game references. If you liked Hotline Miami or Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, you’ll definitely want…
OK, so almost everyone in Final Fantasy dresses terribly, but Nick Wanserski at AV Club makes a pretty strong case for Tidus being the absolute worst. Why? The wallet chain is not helping.
I suppose this Cities: Skylines StarCraft pylon mod, created by gido505, was inevitable. And yes, it’s functional. Here’s the description: You must construct additional pylons! Based on Wind Turbine. Can be placed anywhere 1×1. Cost 20,000. Upkeep 80/week. No Noise pollution so can be placed near residential places with good wind speeds. Produces 32MW of…
Yesterday, Kirk wrote about the ‘Three Bloodborne Enemies Who Are Just The Worst‘ — a look at those regular enemies who always somehow manage to hit you, beat you down and break your spirit. It was a cool list, but it got me thinking: what about the Bloodborne enemies who seem really nice? (Top image…
My Summer Car is a game about chugging beer and tinkering obsessively with a beat-up old sports car. It is, according to its creator, the most realistic car game ever. I honestly can’t tell if My Summer Car is a joke or not. On one hand, its website says things like: “MY SUMMER CAR is…
A new update to the 3DS’ StreetPass Plaza will let you finally skip a lot of the chatter that slows down clearing out your StreetPass queue—but it’ll cost you. The update will also let you hide StreetPass games you no longer want to play. That one’s free. If you were hoping that they’d up the…
Bizarrely, Mortal Kombat X has a sizable slate of classic Mortal Kombat characters that you can only fight against, not play as, Rain and Baraka foremost among them. Clever players, however, have figured out how to use them in the game’s PC version. Player XVermillion tore open Mortal Kombat X’s chest cavity and, as hot…
Yesterday, a Pokémon-themed thread popped up on Reddit. It was titled “My friend was drunk and on Xanax when he decided to tattoo a black face Charmander with no experience or artistic ability. The flame saves it.” This is the tattoo: This is what the Pokémon is supposed to look like, for reference’s sake. Charmander!…

Nintendo says they’re working on a patchto fix the problem, but for now, stay away from Smash Run, All-Star, Classic, Stadium, and Trophy Rush modes while playing as Mewtwo.
We’ve seen plenty of games filled to the brim with pixels, but what about crappy polygons? Back In 1995 promises to be “just like PlayStation or Sega Saturn in 1995.” Thanks to Rely On Horror, one of the better horror gaming sites around, for pointing this out! Back In 1995 has loading screens with flipping…
Hello, Internet! Welcome to Ask Dr. NerdLove, the only dating column that knows what to say when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. This week: what can you do when the person you like is out of your league? Is there even a point…
Should a critic cease coverage of a game simply because a developer does not like them? According to one YouTuber, tensions between himself and a developer are pronounced enough to make any potential coverage that developer’s game biased. Earlier this week, commentator John Bain—known by many as TotalBiscuit, the PC-centric commentator with over 2 million…
