UncategorizedGlitch Accidentally Brings Peace To MMO Battlefield
Under normal circumstances, “World versus World” is a game mode in Guild Wars 2 where players from different servers duke it out. The entire point is competitive conflict.

UncategorizedHow A Joke About Reddit Making An eSports Team Spiraled Out Of Control
“Oh here’s a new message I just got: ‘get the fuck away from League and git gud fagboy,’” Will Debassige said last night over Skype. He’s been getting a lot of messages like that lately. And just a week ago, before everyone on League of Legends subreddit seemed to hate him, nobody even knew who…

ReviewsSnacktaku Tries Mountain Dew’s Latest Throwback, Dewshine
Mountain Dew’s latest limited edition flavor does not contain alcohol, but it really, really wants to. There’s been some understandable confusion over Dewshine, the crystal clear beverage from PepsiCo’s Mountain Dew brand that’s been sporadically popping up across the country over the past month or so.

UncategorizedThe Witcher 3 Downgrade Controversy Sucks
For the last couple of weeks, I’ve seen growing fan anger around the hotly anticipated video game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Turns out, the finished game doesn’t look as good as the early versions shown off in trailers. It’s not the first game to leave gamers feeling misled, and it won’t be the last.…

Smash Bros. Player Is So Damn Good, There’s Now A Bounty On His Head
Gonzalo “Zero” Barrios is on a hot streak. Since November 2014, he’s come in first for every Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournament he’s participated in. That makes a whopping 34 consecutive first place wins for the 1v1 category. It’s absurd. Things have gotten so ridiculous, that now even spectators are trying to see…

One Thing Not Changing at DC Comics: Batman Kicking Superman’s Ass
Superman isn’t as tough as he used to be. There’s a new guy calling himself Batman. You know what that means: it’s time for a classic superhero misunderstanding fight where the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight throw down again. Like it’s been doing for the last few weeks, DC Comics is putting out…

UncategorizedVideo Game Strategy Guide Found In Osama Bin Laden’s Compound
Guess what was discovered on a bookshelf at Osama bin Laden’s compound during the US raid from 2011? A strategy guide for Delta Force: Xtreme 2 and “videogame guide” by GameSpot. We should be clear, however, that it’s unlikely bin Laden himself was using these books, as they’ve been classified under “documents probably used by…

Why You Should Care About Heroes Of The Storm
“Well, that wasn’t good,” I said. My team had just been defeated in a game of Heroes of the Storm. “Eh,” my friend Alex replied as the colorful mush of the on-screen battle faded into a dark red “DEFEAT” screen. “It doesn’t feel any different if you win or lose in this game.” Alex was…

UncategorizedWatch Me Die Four Times In The First Five Minutes Of Steredenn
A lovely pixelized combination of shoot-em-up and roguelike, Steredenn changes every time you play, which is the excuse I’m using for all the deaths. Oh come on, it’s hard enough playing a shmup when you aren’t trying to talk about it at the same time. At least if this glorious beast were a standard shooter…

UncategorizedBlizzard Took Out Tychus’ Cigar In Heroes Of The Storm
StarCraft fans have long known Terran (read: human) hero Tychus Findlay as a cigar-chomping lovable grump. Sadly, Heroes of the Storm players will only get to know him as a lovable grump. That’s right: they put out the guy’s smoke. Heroes of the Storm fans first discovered this glaring omission last night when Blizzard released…

There’s a Castle Hidden in the LEGO Autumn Foliage
It’s not the 80,000 pieces and the roughly 17 days of build time that makes Blufiji’s fantasy LEGO diorama awesome, but the beautiful autumn scenery. Everything just flows with the trees and colors.
