We haven’t listened to good, old-fashioned idol pop in a while, haven’t we? Lovelyz is an eight-member girl group that debuted in 2014 under Woollim Entertainment (the same agency behind Infinite), which makes them the same “age” as Red Velvet, Akdong Musician, GOT7 and WINNER. While Lovelyz hasn’t quite reached the level of popularity that…

CultureTwitchInside Livestreamfail, The Controversial Forum That Fuels Twitch Drama
Ice Poseidon. Sweet_Anita. Trainwreckstv. “Twitch thots.” “Boobie streamers.” If any of these names and phrases ring a bell, you may have a subreddit called Livestreamfail to thank—even if you’ve never heard of it.

That’s Not My Arthur Morgan
Here’s a thing I’ve noticed while watching other people play Red Dead Redemption 2: there’s an Arthur Morgan on the screen, who looks like Arthur Morgan and sounds like Arthur Morgan, but isn’t my Arthur Morgan. I know it’s the same character, but it’s also not, and that never sits right with me. I call…

The Vita’s Sleep Mode Is Pure Sorcery
Old Faithful. That’s what I call my Vita, or at least that’s what I would call it if I was the type of person who had nicknames for their video game consoles and, for whatever odd reason, felt compelled to utter them out loud. I’d call it that because no matter how long I go…

The Paradox Of Online Games’ Group-Finders
One of the great online gaming paradoxes is the group-finder, a feature intended to bring people together that often does the opposite. It’s a mainstay in online games, a one-size-fits-all solution to the ever-present social gaming problem of “How do I meet people and progress?” Functional, accessible and a little impersonal, the group-finder makes connecting…

Sexing My Way Through Ancient Greece In Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
If there’s anything I learned studying Classics at university, it’s that our respected ancient ancestors were total horndogs. That’s why I’m so happy Assassin’s Creed Odyssey embraces historical bonkery to the extent that it does. People generally imagine historical figures the way they imagine their grandparents: shirts buttoned up right to the neck, using beds…

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is finally backwards compatible on Xbox One. The program has been steadily growing every month, but this 2012 fantasy RPG is a particularly nice addition, especially since a remaster doesn’t seem to be in the cards at this point. A little generic perhaps, but charming and fun nonetheless

UncategorizedMysterious Boats Are Falling Out Of The Sky In Red Dead Online
Red Dead Online’s beta launched this week, and it’s a looser, sillier experience than the main game. But a beta mean glitches, and there’s been nothing stranger than the cavalcade of burnt-out boats mysteriously plaguing the city of Saint Denis. Players romping around Red Dead Online are taking to social media and YouTube to share…

“I’m the farmer. I work in the fields all day.” The chorus from Barenaked Ladies’ “Straw Hat and Old Dirty Hank” plays on repeat in my head as I sit in front of my computer tending virtual crops in Farming Simulator 19. That’s as close to hard outdoor work as I like to get. I…
