Fallout 76 Players Are Looking For Secrets Off The Game’s Beaten Path

There’s a place in the Western part of Fallout 76’s Appalachia where the cargo drones like to gather. If you stand outside the Mothman Museum you can see them just overhead, hovering in the sky overtop an unreachable portion of the map. Sometimes it’s just a handful; other times it can be over a dozen,…

A Game That Captures The Magic And Anxiety Of Finally Kissing Your Crush

Do you remember your first kiss? Smooch.Click can take you back to that moment. My first kiss was in the living room of a friend’s house. We had all been watching movies together, and my friend was trying to set me up with a guy. It worked, mostly because I was eager to get kissed…

KeyForge Is A Whole New Kind Of Card Game

KeyForge is a card game for people who would love Magic: The Gathering, but who run screaming into Mommy’s arms upon hearing the words “deck building.” It’s a game for the most doe-eyed of card-game beginners and the most seasoned fans alike, in part because of its winning gimmick: There’s no booster packs, drafting, or…

Jessie And James Are As Evil, Stupid, And Delightful As Always In Pokémon Let’s Go

Pokémon Let’s Go revisits a lot of the same scenarios from Pokémon Red and Blue, including run-ins with members of the villainous Team Rocket organization.

Fallout 76‘s latest patch is now live. Bethesda had said it would be one of the game’s bigger ones, and at 47 GB on console it was, but the patch notes themselves are short, pointing only toward improved overall stability and handful of bug fixes. “Several issues have been addressed to resolve hitches during gameplay…

Razer Releases The Least Razer Keyboard Ever

Gaming peripheral maker Razer is not know for its understated designs. Its keyboards in particular are generally bulky and flashy; some might say a little gaudy. The Blackwidow Lite is none of those things. Not that there’s anything wrong with big and flashy—some of my favorite Razer gear is pink, after all. But sometimes a…

Half-Life, Revisited

I first played Half-Life in 1998 and played it again recently for a series of livestreams on Twitch. It’s been 20 years since the game was released, and what I experienced so many years later made me reassess the game. It’s a chaotic, if sometimes sloppy, masterpiece. This piece originally appeared 9/15/17. We’re bumping it…

Soccer Star Learned About His New Teammates “On The PlayStation”

Krzysztof Piatek has been one of the revelations of the season so far, banging in 13 goals in just 11 games for Genoa. He might have been doing even better if he’d had any idea who his teammates were going to be before joining the club. In 2017-18 the young striker scored 21 goals for…

Frostpunk Is About To Become A Proper City-Builder

One of the few criticisms levelled at Frostpunk was that the city-building game only shipped with curated scenarios, not a more traditional (for the genre) sandbox mode. That’s about to change, with an “Endless Mode” due for release very soon. Coming as a free update for existing owners of the game, there’ll be two ways…

Four Days In Hell With EA Help

Last week, I realized that I had a problem. My Xbox Live Gamertag was tied to an EA Account that was not my primary EA Account. Worse yet, I no longer had access to the email associated with that EA Account. I took a deep breath and prepared myself for a Customer Service Experience. An…

Finally, A Supercut Of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey‘s Favorite Cuss

If you’ve played Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, then you know that the game has a particular love of a single, solitary cuss: maláka. It means something between “jerk” and “asshole,” and it apparently fits in nearly any situation. And now there’s a supercut to show off the plenitude of the curse word. There might be some…
