The Last Of Us’ Fungus Infection Could Never Actually Happen, But…

There’s enough smiling here to remind you we’re talking speculative fiction here. And just enough science to make anyone who’s played The Last Of Us a little bit nervous. Could We Be The last Of Us? [vsauce3]

Savant Is A “Little Summer Game Of Yore”. With Explosions.

On July 30, D-Pad Studios – they of “please hurry up and finish Owlboy” fame – will be releasing Savant for the PC, iOS and Android. They’re calling it a “Little summer game of yore”. It looks rad. I’m guessing the genre is “Rustic Elevator Death Ride”?

No More PS4 Preorders At GameStop, Guys, Sorry

GameStop has been taking PS4 preorders for a while now, with nary a mention of “limited stocks” or word on first-day guarantees. Seems the time has come to bring that little deal to an end, because you can’t preorder the system from the retailer any more. A notice on GameStop’s site says they’re “sold out”,…

Automatic NERF Sentry Gun Is Just About The Coolest Thing Ever Made

You’re about to see a working NERF sentry gun. A proper sentry gun, like one you’d see in a video game or movie, which can automatically track you then start shooting until you die (of amazement). It was built by Instructables user BrittLiv, and comprises a NERF Vulcan gun, a stand, a motor and a…

How To Save Your Save Games

After hardware and the games themselves, your save files are probably the most important things in video games. If you couldn’t save then resume your progress, well, most modern video games simply wouldn’t exist. So you’re going to want to look after them. These days, thanks to cloud saves and reliable hardware, that’s easier than…

Finally, fans have begun recording live versions of the Kapp’n’s songs from Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Here’s one instant-classic, sweetly performed by YouTuber Misterandell I like the Kapp’n, though most of the girls I know who play this game say he’s always hitting on them. (This post at Electropolis seems to back that up.) All…

4 Minutes Of Some Of the Stupidest The Last of Us Glitches Imaginable

I honestly never experienced a single bug (that I noticed) in my time with The Last of Us. But I have heard tales of a few funny and flailing polygons. So here’s a four minute clip of a bunch of them, set to goofy clown music. YouTuber Ben Buja compiled the glitches you see above.…

Awesome League of Legends Cosplay From This Year’s Anime Expo

Convention time means cosplay time—naturally, the Anime Expo in Los Angeles this weekend must’ve had a ton of cosplay.

Play Google’s Roswell Alien Doodle Before The Government Cover-Up

Sixty-six years ago today the Roswell, New Mexico Daily Record stunned the country with one of the finest examples of a sensationalist headline this side of… well, nevermind that. “RAAF Captures Flying Saucer On Ranch In Roswell Region,” was a joke, a sham, a goof, and certainly not proof of aliens landing on U.S. soil…

Use Time Travel To Get A First Date Right

If you could travel through time and undo a botched first date, would you? That’s the question at the heart of Back to the First Date, one of many goofy games to come out of last weekend’s Molyjam game-jam. The game is based on the Peter Molyneux quote, “I wish I had some time machine…

Star Wars? In Kingdom Hearts III? Maybe!

Disney helps make Kingdom Hearts. Disney owns Star Wars. Seems like a match made in carbonite heaven, right? As soon as word came out that Disney had purchased LucasFilm—and consequently, the right to adventures in the world of Star Wars—people started wondering what that’d mean for Square Enix’s popular action-RPG series, which is created in…

I had missed that Eurogamer ran a bunch of footage from the demo of Hotline Miami 2 that I played back at E3. Here’s the game in action, with some useful information delivered by a man wearing a chicken mask 1/20th as creepy as the one in the game. I’ve been replaying the first game…

Josiah Renaudin writes poignantly for GameRanx about how gamers mourn the passing of people they care about. An unintentionally apt piece for today.

In the first few matches of this Tekken Tag Tournament 2 face-off, CEO Gaming bossman Alex Jebailey gets worked over good seven-year-old opponent King Rey, Jr. It’s kind of painful to watch.…

The Problem With Trash Talk

Regardless of what you think about Justin Carter’s current situation in jail, and regardless of whether or not he was serious, one thing is clear: the comments he made on Facebook, where he said he would “shoot up a school full of kids and eat their still, beating hearts” are messed up. This isn’t the…

The Toughest Foe You’ll Face In Cross Horizon Is The Paywall

During my first ten minutes playing MarvelousAQL’s Cross Horizon I was asked if I wanted to purchase a key to open a chest I’d found on the battlefield. Were I not playing it for review, I would have stopped right there. Despite my knowing full-well that there’s no such thing as a truly free-to-play action…
