If The Pokémon Professors Were Rated By Their Students

Ever use the website ‘Rate My Professors‘? It’s exactly what it sounds like—a website where students can rate their professors. It’s also not something that exists in the world of Pokemon.

What happens when you plug a PlayStation 4’s HDMI cable into the back of an Xbox One? The same thing that happens to everything else. The fine folks at DigitalFoundry plugged their PlayStation 4 into the Xbox One’s HDMI input and — contrary to my fevered speculation — a singularity was not formed. Instead, they…

This glitch in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn will get your character stuck in MMO emote hell, as you can see in the above GIF. To get similar results with a frozen upper torso, type “/sit,” then press the emote and the “w” buttons simultaneously. If you get lucky, you won’t fly away completely.…

Probably The Weirdest Sandbox Game I’ve Ever Seen

It’s called UemeU (pronounced “You Me You”). It’s currently in development for PC. And, uh… I’m not entirely sure what it is. I mean, I see that you’re supposed to build stuff with it. The video shows the developers building a bare-bones version of Erebor from The Hobbit. But it’s not just building, there’s modelling…

This is a great-looking Sonic diorama, make no mistake. It’s just… why is there a trailer? The inappropriately energetic rock music, the silly effects, the weird-as-hell vibration—ugh. The video does have “informative” in its title, and I’ll give it that, it is a rather informative video. But you can get all the same info from…

Spacebase DF-9 is a game for people who think “Theme Hospital meets FTL in space” sounds like a good time.
