He’ll…

Mark Hamill Shows Us His Favorite Star Wars Fan Moments

To tell the truth, the best thing in this clip by Nerdist is not necessarily the fan moments (that Patton Oswalt scene though…), but Mark Hamill himself, who still looks super cool and totally ready to put the robe back on. He’s here to show some of his favorite Star Wars fan moments, all leading…

Angry Birds Stella Tackles Real Issues Like Inspiration, Empowerment

Following up on yesterday’s tease, Rovio has revealed Stella, a new corner of the Angry Birds universe featuring “strong, passionate characters” ready to inspire and empower.

Amazing Car Crashes + Hilarious Greenlight Trailer = Magic

The BeamNG guys are on Steam Greenlight now. They’re celebrating with a brand new trailer. It’s pretty good. No, really, it’s great. It’s the perfect combination of funny and informative. A fine balance between car crashes and not-crash-related demonstrations. There’s even a scenic drive through a forest. Kinda. Take a look: Not that the trailer…

Gaming Controller…Thing Looks Like Alien Torture Device (In A Good Way)

The Sinister is a gaming controller…thing currently up on Kickstarter that looks, well, nothing like a gaming mouse. The idea is similar to that of R.A.T.7, which got an A for effort but a C- for comfort. The Sinister looks to get around that by not being slightly customisable, but entirely customisable. You can pivot,…

From Conan To Mr. T, 80s Action Stars Are Spilling Blood In Broforce

Broforce. It’s been so longsince we last spoke, but in that time, you’ve been stocking up on explosions, increasing the volume and lifting. Bro. I kinda think the name does the game a slight disservice. It suggests a game of hulking men with popped collars, watching college sports and being assholes. Instead, Broforce is a…

According to a story on The Verge, Microsoft will soon be making some minor adjustments to the way the Xbox One controller’s movements are picked up by the console.

The Origins Of The Word “F**k”

Last week, an image from a 1528 manuscript referencing an Abbot went viralclaiming to be the first written instance of the word “fuck”. As with most historical internet fodder, though, it pays to look a little closer at the fine print. Inspired by the spreading of that image last week – and hopefully to educate…

Realistic Deku: Remember the realistic Zelda enemies by Nate Hallinan? Well, now Hallinan is back with this, an interpretation of “what real Deku might look like living deep in the forest.” Neat.

Richard Turner may not be able to see, but that doesn’t mean he cant destroy you when it comes to cards. Rightly so: he’s spent years of his life practicing card tricks for up to 20 hours a day. The way he does it is fascinating: according to CBS This Morning, Turner has an extraordinary…

How Steam Is Going To Help You Find The Perfect Games

Valve is rolling out a new feature for Steam called “tags”. It’s a new feature for Steam, but not for the internet; look above this text and you’ll see tags for this story, which let us collect and sort posts of a similar nature. Which is exactly what they’re going to do for Steam. The…

Maybe A Pokémon MMO Wouldn’t Be As Awesome As We Think

Okay, let’s say Game Freak decides to take the plunge and finally give us the Pokémon MMO that so many people clamor for. It would be amazing! …or so we hope. While obviously lots of things about a Pokémon MMO would be great, it’s kind of funny to think about the crappy things that could…

Indie Creator of CandySwipe Fumes Over Candy Crush Saga Trademark Move

The maker of a little-known match-3 game involving candy pieces says he’s being steamrollered by the scorched-earth trademark strategy of the casual gaming powerhouse Candy Crush Saga, despite the fact his game and its name are two years older. CandySwipe is the name of the game that Albert Ransom, of Runsome Apps, launched in 2010.…

See If You Can Spot The Camouflaged Snipers In These Pictures

Right by the center of the picture, by the log on the ground. No? Here, let Vice point it out for you: That’s a…

1960s Batman Valentine’s Day Cards Are Weirdly Awesome

Batman is no stranger to love. He hugs people and things sometimes. (Usually after something bad happens, though.) So Valentine’s Day stuff with the Dark Knight’s likeness on it aren’t necessarily the worst merchandising idea. But these old cards featuring Batman, Robin and their enemies are, honestly, a little freaky. Found by cartoonist Mark Anderson,…
