Send Help. Stupidly Good Quiz Game Is Robbing Me Of Sleep.

I played my first round of Plain Vanilla’s QuizUp, “the biggest trivia game in the world”, last night around 9 PM. I played my last round of the evening at 4 AM. This game is dangerously good. I’ve been overlooking emails about QuizUp for several weeks now, which, considering how tired I am today, was…

​Marvel at a Museum Dedicated to One of Comics’ Greatest Artists

Captain America, the Hulk, Fantastic Four… If you read superhero comics, you’ve probably liked a character created or co-created by Jack Kirby. He made the battles of superheroes like Thor feel larger than life but he also grew up fighting in the streets of New York City’s gritty Lower East Side neighborhood. And he made…

A Spoiler-Free Look at BioShock Infinite‘s Next Chapter

BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea‘s first chapter releases today, and as it deals with events after the twists-and-turns thriller of Infinite, there are few options for seeing what it’s all about without confronting a faceful of spoilers. 2K Games’ launch trailer looks like a safe approach, though. It’s Booker and it’s Elizabeth, the two main…

Pink Zapper Helmet offers up insight on how the costs of video games prevents them from reaching a wider audience. And JJtheTexan shares info on a little-known, cancelled…

It Takes Five Minutes To Reach The First Dungeon In The Newest Zelda

Five minutes and three seconds, to be precise—that’s how long it just took me to get to the tutorial dungeon in The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, which comes out for 3DS on November 22. Using my iPhone stopwatch app, I started recording the second I hit “new game.” Including the opening cut-scene,…

30 Minutes Of Very Pretty Dragon Age: Inquisition Footage

Via NeoGAF, here’s the Dragon Age: Inquisition demo that the folks at BioWare showed off at PAX in Seattle a few months ago (and have been showing off at other places since). Looks good, don’t you think? Make sure you set it to HD for a better idea of what the game will look like…

Watch Xbox One’s ‘Snap’ Multitasking In Action

Not to be outdone by Sony’s PS4 launch week extravaganza, Microsoft today released this video showing off how the Xbox One’s sleek Snap feature will work. That’s how you’ll multitask if you get yourself the newest Xbox, which launches on November 22. We’ll have a full review (and much more coverage) for you next week.

Let Doc Brown Explain Warlords of Draenor‘s Confusing Timeline

The next WoW expansion, Warlords of Draenor will focus on orcs, but most importantly time travel. As if the lore wasn’t already confusing enough, WoD will make sure we get lost in the history of orcs and humans. But thanks to Redditor trytech, we might have a saviour, none other than Doc Brown from Back…

Okay, Maybe Call Of Duty: Ghost‘s Spawning Could Use Some Work

Now I’m no first-person shooter expert, but I’m pretty sure you shouldn’t be able to kill the same opponent four times in ten seconds. Not only does YouTube’s Gold Glove kill one guy four times in that time span during this Call of Duty: Ghosts multiplayer match, he kills another two enemy players while he’s…

A classic fighting game based on Dota 2 and its characters would be a really cool thing, right? Redditor Wykrhm played with this idea, inspired mostly by Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter, and created the edit above. The Anti-Mage and Riki fit right in, but some characters, like Juggernaut, would be OP as hell under…

Overheating Consoles Were the Worst Problem of Last Generation

With this past generation, the most terrifying thing console owners could see was a small red or yellow light that meant their several hundred dollar console was dead. Without a doubt, the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 are amazingly complex pieces of hardware—each a powerful computer shoved into a tiny box. Unfortunately, as it turned…

Kingdom Under Fire II Coming to PS4. It’ll Be Out…One Day.

Kingdom Under Fire II has been in development for a long time. A very long time. Originally announced in early 2008 as a PC and home console game, Kingdom Under Fire II was supposed to hit the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360. Delays followed, there were rumors of development problems, and the console game…

Eat Totally Fake Maguro Sashimi in Japan

Raw maguro (tuna) is served with rice as sushi or without as sashimi. One Japanese company is now introducing phony maguro you can eat. Imagine that! This faux sashimi is actually konnyaku (こんにゃく), which is a rubbery jelly made from a variety of potatoes. It’s actually very healthy and high in fiber. Natural tomato coloring…
