The Witcher 3 Lets You Have Sex On A Unicorn
Yes, you read that right. A unicorn. Not one that’s alive, mind. A stuffed unicorn! But still: a unicorn. NSFW warning. The GIF above comes from the latest “Clueless Gamer” segment on Conan. I won’t bullshit you: Conan mostly spends his time making childish bad jokes about boning all the women he comes across in…

Belgian artist Vadu Amka completely covered a Nintendo 64 with a rock and moss motif to transform the console into an artifact from Hyrule. He’s modded N64s before, but the painting and the attention to detail on this one is just so realistic, this could be his best looking one yet. The ancestral gems being…

The Nightly Show Is Wrong About Final Fantasy
On the May 5 episode of the Nightly Show, there was a gag where a phony set of terms and conditions for agreeing to watch the program were flashed on-screen. If you saw it live you’d have only seen it race flash by, but pausing reveals a politically-charged throwdown. For anyone who can’t read the…

Sick Burn, Goat Simulator
Today, the latest expansion for Goat Simulator releases on Steam. It’s a survival game with zombies in it…that totally makes fun of other stereotypical zombie games on Steam. Yeah, it’s kind of having its cake and eating it too. I forgive it, though, because it’s still getting some good chuckles out of me. If you…

The Sims Creator Now Wants You to Make Stories Out of Your Own Life
It’s probably not a surprise that the man who created The Sims and SimCity wants you to make stories out of your life. His most famous creations let players spin bizarre melodramas from how they managed (or fiendishly ignored) the needs of either an entire city or a single family. But, Wright’s next big project…

The Amiibo Problem
I do not think it is possible to like the entirety of a corporation. Take Nintendo, for example. I like the part of Nintendo that makes Zelda games and, with less alacrity, Metroid games. I do not very much like the part of Nintendo that loves to sell plastic. And, boy, does Nintendo love to…

Splatoon Demo Available Now, But You Can Only Play At Certain Times
You know what? Splatoon is looking pretty great, and I can’t wait to try out the demo (which really sounds like a server stress test) in the next few days. As part of a Nintendo Direct for the May release, Nintendo revealed a bunch of news: Most importantly, a “global testfire” demo is available to…

World of Warcraft subscriptions are down from 10 million to 7.1 million, Blizzard said during a financial earnings call yesterday. A record amount of people unsubscribed in the first three months of this year. This drop is particularly unusual because it happened right after a huge increase in subscribers. MMO-Champion’s graph shows the timeline well:…
