Your CDs & DVDs Won’t Last Forever

One of the reasons so many people prefer physical media over digital downloads is the supposed permanency of it all. HDD goes bad? Memory corrupted? Doesn’t matter, I’ve still got the disc! Remember, though, that those discs will not live forever. In fact they may not live very long at all if you don’t look…

Wouldn’t it be cool if someone remixed the character themes from Bravely Default? Yeah, that’d be cool – and hey, someone has. DJ Cutman & Ralfington, specifically – you can watch a trailer up top or buy the four tracks at loudr.fm.

Damnit, Ellie! If you want to learn more about how Naughty Dog created Ellie’s AI for The Last of Us, you should definitely watch this video from the GDC Vault.

​The Beauty Of Weird Military Infographics

If you want to build something for the U.S. military, you’re probably going to have to make a diagram or a chart to demonstrate how it’ll work. Might as well bust out Illustrator and paste together the weirdest diagram possible. In an excellent feature over at Medium, writer Paul Ford has confessed to his minor…

EVE Player Stalked For Nearly Two Years By Very Patient Punks

EVE Online, a sci-fi MMO that’s full of scheming players, is famous for its many ridiculous stories of dedication, betrayal and intrigue.

The Walking Dead Game’s Latest Chapter: Weak Story, Great Jacket

When I finished episode three of the second season of The Walking Dead game, I thought, “Well, that sure was an episode of The Walking Dead.” Mild zombie- and jacket-related spoilers follow. I think that, like our young protagonist Clementine, I’ve gotten too hardened, too young. I’ve seen so many people die, witnessed so many…

Motion-Controlled Gaming Is Flailing

I played the Wii for the first time at a trade show in Leipzig, Germany. The consoles were set up in tents, shielded from outside view. Standing in the queue, you’d watch people lift the folds of material in front of the entrance, walk in, then walk out with huge smiles on their faces after…

Assassin’s Creed Can Actually Teach You A Thing Or Two

Assassin’s Creed is a lot of things: blockbuster entertainment franchise, beautiful open-world murder simulator, inspiration for rock climbers the world over. “History textbook” doesn’t seem like it would be at the top of this list. Even its dearest fans will admit that Ubisoft’s series takes creative license to stray from historical fact. Nicolas Trépanier, a…
