The headline of this Wired piece reads“NASA validates ‘impossible’ space drive”. It’s the kind of news that won’t make the front page today, but will hopefully make the “How Humanity Conquered Deep Space” history books of tomorrow.
Mohammed Osman Ali, a refugee in Uganda, is doing his best to make the best of a bad situation, setting up a business in…video games. Scavenging old parts, hardware and games, and busting his ass to find out how they all worked so he could maintain them, he’s managed to establish an “arcade” in his…
One man. 21 video game theme songs. A whole lot of really, really silly costumes. Yeah, so this is pretty intense. Man of a thousand vocal pitches “MrDooves” has traveled through video game history on a harmonious time magic carpet of song. From Pac-Man to Tetris to Doom to Final Fantasy VII to Metal Gear…
Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto is not on Twitter. That’s why he has to askquestions the old-fashioned way. If he was, though, boy, wouldn’t it be awesome if he just let loose like this. Parody accounts of game developers are nothing new, but what I like about this one is that it actually cuts pretty close…
I’m a little unsure as to where this actually originated – every retweeter is repeating the same “OMG SO REAL” joke – but hey, enjoy it regardless.
Manly is a new cartoon from brothers Jesse and Justin Moynihan, who also do some work on Adventure Time. Among many other freaky things, it features a chilling reminder of why I will never, ever use a teleporter. You really should watch it, though. Manly is a relentless, million-mile-per-hour hurdle through a gaping infinity of…
Titanfall‘s new Frontier’s Edge DLC is out today. I was on the Export map and found that the level design seems to encourage camping while in a Titan. Not really something I regularly (or ever?) do, so, interesting. Anyone else out there playing? What do you think of the new maps?
Let a little love into your day. Play The Arboretum, a lovely, melancholy short story/game by Matthew Burns. It’s really good.

So. Much. Blood. Haemo is a game in which you’re fatally wounded and bleeding from the get-go. I’m not talking Uncharted-2-style cinematic “oh no is the main character of this game who I’ll be playing as for the next 12 hours gonna make it through the first five minutes of the game?!?” bleeding, either. Each…
Don’t play games online, they say. If you have to play games online, turn off chat. If you have to turn on chat, limit it to your friends list. In the past, if you’ve wanted to avoid the toxic jerks of online gaming, those have been your guidelines. It feels like that’s finally changing. Many…
I don’t understand drinking games. If you’re goal is to just get as drunk as possible as fast possible, aren’t there easier ways to do that? Alternatively, if you’re just trying to have a good time with friends and be (relatively) responsible about it, couldn’t you play other, better games than, I don’t know…whiskey slap?…
Right now, on your PlayStation 4, you can enjoy 90 days of the PS3 racing game F1 2013 for the low, low price of $49.99. Too rich for your blood? You could try 90 days of NASCAR 14 for $39.99, or 90 days of Dirt 3 for $26.99. Codemasters’ Grid 2 comes in at the…
Not one bullet or explosion at all. Bold, energetic colors. It’s a little weird that a game about ‘the Global War on Terror’ looks so beautiful. There’s only this quick teaser to go by but it looks like The Sun Also Rises will be taking a very divergent perspective on the same kinds of happening-in-the-real-world-right-now…
Players find new ways to create chaos in Grand Theft Auto all the time—and glitches can definitely be a part of that. Take, for example, this weird grenade launcher glitch in GTA Online. Turns out, if you punch a car while holding a grenade launcher, it will explode in a random number of hits. Folks…
We’ve been fawning over Hohokum’s music for a while now, because the soundtrack is a big part of what makes this upcoming artsy PS4 game such a treat. Ghostly International has made the whole thing available to stream in anticipation of the game’s launch next month. If you’re not a believer yet, I’d highly recommend…
In response to my article yesterday, in which Sony had nothing to say about their plans to put PS1 and PS2 games on the streaming service PlayStation Now, the publisher sent over some additional clarification: “We are also currently considering measures to offer original PlayStation, PS2 and PS4 titles in the future, but at this…
Despite its loyal fanbase, Digimon has long played second fiddle to Pokémon. Tired of having all their digital monsters left out of the party that is Super Smash Bros. in favor of the company’s more recognizable characters like Pac-Man, Bandai Namco announced today that it’s making its own multiplayer arena brawler. It’s called Digimon All-Star…
