Jupiter Ascending, What Are You Doing

I haven’t seen Jupiter Ascending. I’ve only seen its concept art. I’m guessing it’s a movie about “holy shit what is happening there are space things and what”. We’ve seen some art from the movie before, but today we’re looking at the contributions of Adam Kuczek, an artist who has also worked on stuff like…

Cities: Skyline’s Mods Are Already Going Crazy With Road Porn

Cities: Skylines hasn’t even been out for a week and already the game’s selection of mods is becoming overwhelming.

A Horror Game That Haunts Your Phone When You’re Not Playing

Because why only be creeped out some of the time when you can be horrified all the time? 1214 is a PC horror game that might, at first glance, look pretty familiar.

The Goat From Goat Simulator Would Make An Excellent Dota 2 Courier

The “courier” is a specific type of ally minion in Dota 2: one that carries stuff to you when you’re too busy fighting in lane to make that tiresome trek back to your base. So imagine playing Dota 2, one of the hardest games ever created. You’re in the heat of battle, wondering if you…

​Welp, I’ve Spent More Than $250 On League Of Legends

Hello. My name is Yannick, and I have a problem. It’s called spending money in League of Legends. It started out innocently enough a few weeks back. I wanted to purchase Shyvana, a tanky fighter I’d grown accustomed to using when she was on League’s free champion rotation the week prior. Unlocking her as a…

Five Nights at Freddy’s, Built In Halo

This isn’t your typical Five Nights at Freddy’s clone game. Built entirely in Halo 2, this take on Five Nights at Freddy’s makes the horror game a hell of a lot more combat-oriented.

What’s Your Favorite World of Warcraft Moment?

Don’t say Leroy Jenkins. Personally? The first time I picked up World of Warcraft about six or so years ago, I ended up spending hours with two friends leveling our characters up to 10 in one sitting. We were stuck—addicted to the grind and to seeing what new abilities we could learn and what new…
