Losing In MOBAs Should Be More Fun
I’ve had a bad losing streak going in League of Legends the past few nights, which made me realize a fundamental truth about the game and others like it: they’re a lot less fun when you’re not on the winning team. Uniquely so, I mean. Saying something like, “a competitive game isn’t as enjoyable when…

UncategorizedWhat GTA V Would Look Like If Everyone Was Way Too Drunk
You gotta love ragdoll physics. They make everything way more hilarious. Take a look at this cutscene montage by Tyrannicon—they’re using a mod that lets them ragdoll at will, making it seem as if everyone in GTA has had too much to drink. Despite breaking certain scenes, this mod still improves GTA a thousand times:…

UncategorizedWhy League Of Legends Should Never Have Voice Chat
League of Legends becomes much more enjoyable once you invest in a solid headset and start playing games with friends on Skype, Mumble, or Curse. It’s so much better that you might wonder why the hell Riot doesn’t just make its own voice chat system. Because it would be a terrible, terrible thing. YouTuber and…

UncategorizedDestiny’s New Multiplayer Changes Sound Pretty Great
As someone who is a competitive multiplayer nut, I’m not too miffed about the lack of a raid in the upcoming Destiny expansion, House of Wolves. Today, Bungie revealed all the PvP changes and additions coming to Destiny, and they sound rad as hell. First off, let’s talk big picture changes. PVP as a whole…

CultureNow You Can Win Achievements While Playing… Tic-Tac-Toe
Tic-Tac-Toe has achievements and a progression system now. Thanks, the year 2015. Yes, the Tic-Tac-Toe, that most ancient of gentlemanly playground sports, dating all the way back to the Roman Empire by some estimates. It might seem a bit odd, but Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe actually sounds, dare I say it, kinda interesting. See, you’re not just…

How A Five Nights at Freddy’s Conspiracy Theory Got Out of Control
Five Nights at Freddy’s fans are big on mysteries; they love gathering clues and evidence that might shed some light on an otherwise cryptic horror game. But in the last few days, the fandom’s tendency to read too much into things got way out of hand. As we reported yesterday, following the reveal of Five…

The Messy Story Behind A Game Clone
Developer Matt Akins published a scathing piece yesterday that accused a company of stealing his video game. I’ve spent the last day looking into his claims, and the truth is…well, what’s your definition of truth? Let’s go down the rabbit hole together. Akins looked at how much money was being made on the mobile market…

Last year’s two Danganronpa games sold a combined 200,000 copies in the west, according to publisher NIS America. That’s not only remarkable because they’re niche visual novels—it’s remarkable because they were only on Vita. Pay attention, game publishers!

League Of Legends Is Completely Rebuilding Two Of Its Original Champions
Bits and pieces of any big multiplayer game start to gather dust over the years. For League of Legends, the game’s age reveals itself in champion characters who become less and less interesting—and therefore less popular—with time. Over the past few weeks, Riot has introduced a number of major updates for two of the very…

UncategorizedThe First Video Game I’ll Let My Four-Year-Old Kid Play All By Herself
I play with my four-year-old daughter a lot. I’m the parent that sets up playdates, sits down with puzzles and board games, and takes her to the playground for a few hours. But I’ve never let her venture into a video game on her lonesome. That all changed this weekend. [Note: This piece originally ran…

UncategorizedCome On, Disney, Hip-Hop Stormtrooper Needs to Be Star Wars Canon
“Can I walk onto a Star Wars set and fit into the background?” A lot of the costumes on display here could do exactly that. Probably not Hip-Hip Trooper, though. He’s definitely Expanded Universe… unless things change. Thousands of Star Wars fans converged on Anaheim more than a week ago for the annual Celebration fan-fest.…

UncategorizedHawkeye’s Super Powers Include Free Guacamole at Chipotle
Addressing criticisms that he’s outclassed by the rest of the Avengers, Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye gifted The Tonight Show audience with a soulful song about his secret super powers, which include collecting scarves, free guac and Mario Kart. And singing, apparently, as Renner belts out a pretty wonderful parody of Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud.” I’d…

UncategorizedMechWarrior Makes Kerbal Space Program Intense
Using various mods, allmhuran built a pretty neat drivable mech from MechWarrior in Kerbal Space Program. Yes, dropships included. The best thing in this is that Kerbal’s graphics are not that different from classic 90s MechWarrior games, and it totally reminds me of classic stuff that could barely run on my old PC back then.…

It’s a live HTML5 version for browsers and everything from the classic SNES game’s overworld is there. Here’s the whole map, made by the folks at “Jadsdsengine” (via r/nintendo).

Nothing Says “Gundam” Like a Gundam Hair Salon
When you think of Mobile Suit Gundam, you think of giant mecha. You do not think of hair cuts. But you should. [Photo: G_Mahler] The window reads “ガンダム カット” or, literally, “Gundam Cut.” It is a Gundam-themed barber shop in Aomori Prefecture, Japan. Don’t expect styles like this: [Photo: Pancho_Gamer] The reason for the name…
