Elder Scrolls Plush is Not Poisonous, Just Cute

Netch are basically giant land jellyfish, domesticated in the region of Morrowind for their hide and jelly. They also have huge, strong tentacles, and are quite vicious when you come at them with a sword. So why wouldn’t you want one?

Dreamcast Theme For Nintendo 3DS Reopens Old Wounds

Look, I know, Sega and Nintendo have been working together for years. Doesn’t matter. There’s something about this that still blows my mind. It’s a theme for a Nintendo system, copying the dashboard of a Sega system! A little piece of the Dreamcast, living inside a Nintendo handheld! It even has the disc spinning noise!…

I’m Glad These Halo 3 Cutscenes Didn’t Make The Cut

The Halo series has always been a great source of ’30 seconds of fun’ shenanigans and still features incredible AI. To this day it’s my go-to for online multiplayer.

Five Nights At Freddy’s, Meet Minecraft

If you can’t beat ’em, hit them in the face repeatedly with a pick axe while weeping and then build a giant wall to make sure they never get close to you ever, ever again. Steam user Maximum Player offers a pretty spot-on rendition of what I (or any of you) would do if we…

Haha, You Can Preorder A Nintendo NX

But please, whatever you do, don’t. You don’t even know what it is. (from EB Games Australia)

Assassin’s Creed Has The Worst Scottish Accent I’ve Ever Heard

Braveheart, you have some competition. I’ve been playing my way through Assassin’s Creed Rogue on PC, and for the most part have been loving it! I was stopped dead in my tracks by this performance, though, which is wrong on multiple levels. First, the obvious: that’s terrible. I’ve got Scottish family, friends and an unnatural…

The First Five Sticky Swinging Minutes Of Grapple

We Happy Few: The Basics

What is it? We Happy Few, a first-person survival game where you play as a stranger in the unnaturally happy town of Wellington Wells. Who is making it? Compulsion Games, the folks who made shadow-centric puzzle-platformer Contrast Here’s a trailer… Did we play it? Yes at PAX East 2015. Here’s a video with designer/creator Guillaume…

After nearly a year of fooling itself, The Elder Scrolls Online is now subscription free.

New Star Wars Book Will Connect Return of the Jedi to The Force Awakens

A long time ago, there was a whole galaxy of Star Wars lore that told stories about the events that followed the destruction of the second Death Star. But the old Expanded Universe is no more. So it’s time to build a new one, starting with a book by Chuck Wendig taking place after the…

Valve Requires New Public Disclosures From All Steam Users

Talking about a game in a Steam review, broadcast, curation, Greenlight upvote, or even forum post? If it’s a compensated promotion of any sort, all Steam users—yourself included—are now required to publicly disclose that info. Gamasutra came across the new Steam Subscriber Agreement wrinkle after a recent update. It covers promotions paid for in cash…

The Man Who Does The Impossible in Super Mario 64

Before the world knew him as Mario, Nintendo’s iconic plumber had a simpler name: Jumpman. That name makes sense, when you think about it: Mario is defined by his ability to jump. But lately, I’ve become fascinated by the people who play—and beat—Super Mario 64 without jumping a single time. Heck, sometimes they don’t even…
