There’s Gonna Be A Duck Dynasty Console Game For Some Reason
I mean, of course there is. I’m not actually surprised—or at least, I really shouldn’t be. You can watch a trailer of the newly announced Duck Dynasty console game on the show’s Facebook page Duck Dynasty is, of course, the massively popular “non-fiction” show about a family that runs a duck-hunting equipment based empire. There’s…

UncategorizedChill out with Fallout. Creative YouTube person Ben MacB has been modding Fallout: New Vegas to look absolutely glorious and then showing off the dilapidated world’s wonders with delicious slow pans and soothing post-rock. I, um, really like watching these. They’re so pleasant. Here’s the rest of his series (so far): If you want to…

You Can Now Play Your Own Music Through Steam
First revealed earlier in the year, Valve today released Steam Music Player for all users of its desktop client. All you need to do is point the client towards your music collection and you’re off. Turn it on and you’ll get a little floating media player (which can be activated and controlled in-game), which is…

Han & Chewie Figures Look Real Enough To Pull The Ears Off A Gundark
Look at Chewie long enough and you start imagining him flicking his arms around in slow-mo, like the universe’s coolest shampoo commercial. Look at Han long enough and, well, you’ll get those same feelings you always get when you stare too deeply into his cheeky scowl. This Chewie figure is by Hoy Toys (who else),…

UncategorizedSomeone Modded Their 3DS To Play Smash Bros. With A Controller
Before you ask: yes, it’s a Gamecube controller. Of course it is. What else would it be? Not content to play Smash Bros. with the 3DS, だいこん went ahead and modded their system so they could play using a controller. Honestly, when people are destroying their circlepads while playing Smash, can you blame them? It’s…

UncategorizedEveryone’s Obsessed With Destiny‘s Loot Cave
What began as an easy way to earn loot and experience points in Destiny has become a full-blown phenomenon. The Internet has caught Loot Cave Fever. The Loot Cave, an area in the corner of Destiny‘s Russia map that lets you mindlessly farm experience points and gear, has been a known commodity for a while…

UncategorizedThis Cartoon Is As Close To A New Jet Set Radio As We’re Gonna Get
Remember Jet Grind Radio/Jet Set Radio Future? The games that practically bled cool with rocket-powered roller blades, gorgeous graffiti, and hulking boomboxes far as the eye could see? Upcoming animated series Urbance claims them as big influences, and it looks stylish as fuck Urbance‘s plot—which centers around a city in which sex is illegal because…

We Sure Do Keep Watching Bruce Wayne’s Parents Get Murdered
Had you heard that Bruce Wayne’s parents were murdered in an alley behind a movie theater? And that trauma drove him to eventually don the mantle of The Batman? I’m worried you might not have heard. Maybe you should watch it again. This very cool supercut, made by Abraham Riesman for Vulture, cuts together a…

CultureThe Internet Reacts To Blizzard Cancelling Titan
After seven years of development, Titan—Blizzard’s not-so-secret MMO—was cancelled. Though the game was never officially announced, and though we never got to actually see the game in action, the internet does have a lot of feelings about Titan. It makes sense. The cancellation is a huge deal, especially when Titan was considered Blizzard’s next big…

UncategorizedI Wish More Shooters Looked Like This
I’m tired of gritty, grumbly first-person shooters. A game that mixes Tron‘s synth-y style and Bulletstorm‘s focus on creative kills, though? Now this I can get behind. The game in question is called Desync, and I can’t say I’ve seen another shooter that looks quite like it. The world is clean and easy on the…

The Bronze Statue Raccoon-Obsessed Sly Cooper Fans Deserve
He may not be the most popular video game mascot, but his fans love Sly Cooper with the force of a thousand lesser fans, more than enough to warrant a $210 12-inch statue with a gleaming bronze finish. I was impressed enough with the$200 normal edition of Gaming Heads’ Sly Cooper statue, the fourth piece…

Smash Bros. Online Is Pretty Strict
Here’s the big warning screen you’ll see if you flip through the Online portion of the manual for Super Smash Bros. 3DS, which comes out next Friday in the United States (and is out already in Japan).

CultureA Truly One-In-A-Million Battlefield Shot
There are plenty of incredible trick shots in a variety of games, but I’ve never seen anyone kill a teabagger like this, especially not after they’ve already died. Also in today’s Highlight Reel, some bizarre physics from Forza Horizon 2 and NHL 15, and a screwdriver-only run in Nuclear Throne Watch the video above, then…

UncategorizedOK, Maybe Pokémon Shaming Is A Bit Cruel
Just like real pets, Pokémon wouldn’t be perfect. But it’s much harder to shame them for any mistakes when you can actually hear the Pokémon explaining what happened! They’re too cute! Damn you, Silly Filly Studios. Maybe we shouldn’t Pokémon shame at all. Or maybe Pikachu should stop shitting the bed. Either one would work.

Tentacle Alien Sex Card Game Isn’t As Perverted as You’d Think
The dirtiest thing I’ve ever done on a table happened last Friday. I played a game about helping a human and tentacled alien get each other off. Tentacle porn. It’s quite possibly the perviest, most indefensible phenomena in all of geek culture. It’s also the inspiration for a great new card game that debuted in…
