The New Transformers Is Off To A Shaky Start, And That’s Just Prime
An untested leader, a gung-ho cadet, a rebellious youth and a hulking brute stranded on Earth with a hundred or so of the galaxy’s toughest Decepticons. I haven’t been this excited about a new Transformers animated series since Beast Wars. The first two episodes of Transformers: Robots in Disguise debuted on Cartoon Network in the…

iZombie’s Video Game Cameo Is Almost Perfect
Don’t looks so sad, zombie girl. You may be undead, but at least your production staff have a pretty good grasp on proper video game product placement. The pilot for CW’s comic book-based zombie procedural aired earlier this week, and like our friends over at io9, I was completely charmed. It might not have the…

If Bomberman Were Alive Today He’d Want To Be In Burnstar
Plagued by the noxious emissions from Evil Inc.’s industrial complex, the citizens of Burnstar‘s Fairway Island have only one course of action: blow it all to hell. It’s so very Bomberman of them. It’s been five years since we’ve seen a new Bomberman title on PC or console, and it hasn’t really felt like license-holder…

Heroes Of The Storm Could Use Some Better Skins
Heroes of the Storm is a great-looking game compared to the other big MOBAs out there today. Despite that, Blizzard’s game might have a problem. Well, most of its character skins are just sorta…dull. They’re unimaginatively slight reworkings of the base hero’s physical appearance that add something like a slightly different outfit or a silly…

Why People Are Arguing About Women Streamers Showing Skin
For the past few days, popular Twitch broadcasters and their audiences have been embroiled in a heated debate. The topic? Women streamers and whether they should—or shouldn’t—be showing skin on stream. Now, it should be noted that Twitch has a pretty strict dress code policy already, so it’s not like people can strip while they…

We Just Witnessed The Longest Dota 2 Match Ever
And it was absolutely ridiculous. Today, two teams faced off against each other in a qualifier match—SFZ versus Cloud9. The match clocked in at 3:20:34. Yes, over three hours. Prior to today, the record for longest competitive match ever was held at 125 minutes and 26 seconds. The match was certainly amusing to watch. Not…

An Abridged History Of Video Game Dicks
You don’t have to look very far to find naked breasts in video games. Uncensored dicks, on the other hand? Those are rarer. Maybe that’s changing. Have you noticed that there are a surprising number of recent big games that show uncensored penises? I couldn’t help but wonder if uncensored dicks are becoming more common…

For the past two days, rumors have been swirling that Metal Gear Solid bossman Hideo Kojima will be parting ways with Konami in the near future. Today, Konami issued a statement that seems to imply the rumors are true: Kojima will finish up MGS V, and then Metal Gear will continue… but they’re looking for…

This League of Legends Mod For Smash Bros. Will Never Be Played
In their free time, some Riot developers made a Smash Bros. mod that League of Legends-ified the game. Sadly, Super League Bros. (as I like to call it) will most likely never see the light of day since Riot said it was “just for fun.” At least we can gaze upon some fuzzy pictures and…

If This Represents The Future Of Augmented Reality Video Games, I’m In
This video could be total bullshit, but I want to be believe. Magic Leap is just one of many companies playing around with augmented reality, a new form of interacting with the world around us that’s getting nearly as much attention as virtual reality. How much? Google invested nearly $500 million into Magic Leap last…

Someone’s Playing Through Dark Souls With Donkey Konga‘s Bongo Drums
What’s more ridiculous than beating one of the hardest bosses in Dark Souls with a Rock Band drum kit? Pulling off the same feat with the frickin’ bongo drums form Donkey Konga bearzly is awfully talented at playing Dark Souls. If you want to feel bad about your own Souls skills, I’d recommend checking out…
