Ice Age: Scrat’s Nutty Adventure Feels Like A PS2 Game And That’s A Good Thing

The last Ice Age film or short came out back in 2016. There has been the talk of a new film or TV series, but nothing has actually released in the last 3 years. Until late last week. For some reason the world received a new Ice Age video game, starring Scrat. It’s weird that…

The Drifter is a “pulp adventure thriller” from the makers of multiplayer dungeon bonanza Crawl It sports a similarly expressive, chunky pixel style, but otherwise, it looks totally different. An adventure game inspired by classics but drawing on the pacing and narrative focus of more recent genre standouts, it stars a murdered drifter who proceeds…

Modern Warfare Demands Your Attention, But It Might Not Deserve It

It opens with a suicide bombing. You are in a van full of terrorists, nervous, silent, about to do something awful. The van arrives, and a man with a bomb strapped to his chest strides out into a crowded urban space, detonator in hand. He moves to pull the trigger, and we smash cut to…

Suddenly There’s A Homestuck Sequel

Homestuck was a long-running webcomic, published from 2009 to 2016, that began as a story about a kid named John who got a mysterious new game called Sburb, and over time, turned into a sprawling epic about adolescence. Today, with no warning or preamble, the official Homestuck twitter account tweeted out the website for its…

Borderlands 3 Replica Pistol Is A Real Handful

The coolest thing about Borderlands 3, or any Borderlands game for that matter, is the guns. Colorful guns. Plastic-looking guns with corporate logos, flashing lights and explosive sounds. Due out in December, PDP’s $150 Prop Replica Maliwan Pistol captures the spirit of Borderlands weaponry without anyone exploding (probably). Stretching the definition of the word “pistol,”…

What Are You Playing This Weekend?

The weekend is for running, because my sister signed us up for a half-marathon in March. I have never run even remotely that far before, but hopefully I’ll learn. The weekend is also for playing video games while I try to avoid running. I’m excited to get to play Outer Wilds Worlds, after hearing good…

MediEvil Looks Great But Has A Lousy Camera

When I think of classic PlayStation games, I think Crash and Spyro. If I think a bit harder I eventually remember MediEvil, a wacky, gothic-inspired action-adventure game released in 1998 for the original PlayStation. It didn’t set the world on fire, but it did get a sequel before the series mostly went dormant. Now, after…

Ryu Is Faster Than Usain Bolt, According to Math

Have you ever wondered what it would take for a person to perform Street Fighter’s Tatsumaki Senpukyaku in real life? Or how loud the Dragonborn would have to shout to attract all those dragons in Skyrim? Or maybe if the scream energy used by the monsters in Monsters, Inc. is actually viable as a power…

It Sucks To Get Outleveled By Your Friends In World Of Warcraft Classic

The best thing about getting together to play an MMORPG with your friends is knowing you’ll have people to shoot the shit with when you’re grinding out low-level quests. The worst thing about playing an MMORPG with your friends is that it sucks more when they leave you behind. Instead of hanging out at the…
