Counter-Strike Bot Saves The Day, Becomes Match MVP

Watch as an Oliver Bot shows the humans how it’s actually done. God damn. In this footage by cs:go we can bear witness to a Counter-Strike bot who wins a match almost entirely on his own (the camera follows the bot the entire time, for those of you that are new to CS). Oliver’s savage…

Player Discovers Serious Sam‘s Deepest Secret 14 Years After Release

Serious Sam was released in 2001, but the game’s been hiding a secret for more than a decade. A player wasn’t able to put it together until they were hired by the game’s developer and asked the CEO for help. One of original game’s two hidden levels is called Sacred Yards. Like most stages in…

You Will Never Be As Good As These Rocket League Players

The sooner we all accept this, the sooner we can all move on. Even as I’ve become more and more comfortable with Rocket League, scanning YouTube for highlights quickly reminds me that I’ll never, ever approach what some people are pulling off. The score above is courtesy of Fyshokid, currently fifth on the ranked 3v3…

A Messed-Up Game Where You Play A Disturbing Clown

I’m not the type of person who is terrified by clowns. But Dropsy the clown…Dropsy is another matter entirely. There’s just something unsettling about this adventure game. It’s hard to put a finger on it. Maybe it’s the way Dropsy hugs everything, living or not—and the animation highlights his buttcrack. Or maybe it’s just…his entire…face?…

The PS4’s Cloud Save System Is Inadequate

In the comparison between PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, Sony is about as behind in how they handle cloud saves as they are in getting their console to run Halo. It’s time for them to close this gap. The difference is dramatic. While both systems allow users to save game progress to a set of…

Why Murky Is My Favorite Heroes Of The Storm Character

If MOBA players had meetings similar to the AA, I could imagine people introducing themselves by saying, “Hi, I’m PufferMan388, I’m a toxic mid main, and I hate the cancer fish known as Fizz.” Or perhaps, “I’m DrunkmasterDave, I live in top lane, and I am on a crusade to take down the satanic menace…

Five Nights at Freddy’s Creator Responds To Haters In The Best Way

Scott Cawthon, the creator of Five Nights at Freddy’s, knows perfectly well how his series has been received by the public. There are plenty of fans who adore the games, sure. But there’s also a growing backlash spearheaded by people who think Cawthon is just pumping out games to cash in on his success. Some…

Lois Lane Finally Figured Out That Superman Is Clark Kent

For decades, Lois Lane’s been the butt of jokes involving Superman’s double identity. A Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter who gets fooled by a pair of glasses? Come on, girl. This week, Lois puts it all together. And, yeah, she’s pissed. We’ve known that she figured things out recently, but we haven’t known how. Two months ago,…

LEGO Shows DC How Parallel Universe Battles Are Done

This five second clip from the story trailer for LEGO Dimensions is more entertaining than 75 percent of DC Comics’ massive universe-clashing, office-moving Convergence event. Going by the rest of the story trailer it’s safe to say that the licensed property-spanning LEGO Dimensions will also have a cohesive story. So that’s two points for the…

Dying Light Is Getting A Big Expansion Pack With Cars

Just when you thought you were done killing zombies, they give you…DUNE BUGGIES!! Today, Dying Light developer Techland finally confirmed that it’s working on a full-blown expansion pack for its surprisingly excellent zombie game. This comes after months of the developer teasing fans about how they were working on supporting Dying Light well into the…

Miiverse Revamp Available Now

Nintendo changed its gaming social network Miiverse today, adding some new features, cleaning up some others. Check out the new features, as screencapped from a staff Wii U. The Play Journal seems cool, and I like the idea of sections of Miiverse that are just for drawing. And hooray for the upgrade to the 30-post…

Every company that makes PCs is now making them with Windows 10. There, I’ve neatly condensed about two dozen press releases I’ve received over the past 24 hours into one. I am a handsome sorcerer.

Smash Bros. In First Person Would Look Weird

YouTubers SoKrispyMedia show us why Smash Bros. with a VR headset in first person view would be problematic and hard to play. We don’t have to worry about Nintendo making a game like this in the near future, but that doesn’t make this real-life VR concept less funny. It’s an awesomely edited video with Link,…

Watch Top Guilds Kill Warlords of Draenor‘s Final Boss

Even though the hardest difficulty for Warlords of Draenor’s current top raid, Hellfire Citadel, has been available for a month now, only four guilds could kill all 13 bosses inside. It’s an extremely hard fight, but things might speed up as the two top guilds, Method and Paragon, have released their kill videos. As you…

Smash Bros. is getting two familiar-looking Mii Fighter costumes—the left one’s based on Chrom from Fire Emblem: Awakening, and the one on the right is based on Donkey Kong big bad King K. Rool. They (and the Smash Hoodie in the middle) will be available as Premium DLC for both the 3DS and Wii U…

You Might (One Day) Be Able To Stream PC Games To An Xbox One

Microsoft’s Xbox boss Phil Spencer has told The Verge that the company is working on a way for users to be able to stream their PC games to an Xbox One console. We knew that Windows 10 (which is out today) would let you do theopposite (Xbox One-to-PC), but PC-to-Xbox One streaming is new. “We…

Multiplayer Games Where It’s Okay To Suck

There’s a man in our office, let’s call him Danny. Because his name is actually Danny. Danny plays a lot of FIFA. He’s actually quite good at FIFA. Danny is also one of the gentlest human beings I’ve ever met. Softly spoken. Lovely. Nice. Cordial. These are words you would use to describe Danny in…

LEGO Exoskeleton Is Like A Tiny Pacific Rim

Now if we can just scale it, we’ll be able to kick those Kaiju’s asses. Danny Benedettelli has built a LEGO model and exoskeleton that lets him control a small robot with his body. As MAKE reports, it uses LEGO Mindstorm and an Android phone, and while the idea of this kind of control is…
