The Best Steam Theme

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,…

Giant Pokemon Roams The Deep, Murdering All The Fish

Three Bloodborne Enemies Who Actually Seem Really Nice

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…

The Internet Falls In Love With Man’s Silly Pokémon Tattoo 

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!…
