The Dopest Dishonored 2 Unconscious Body Party

Friends, I have been bested. You might remember that I’ve made it my life goal to arrange unconscious bodies in stealth games so that it looks like they just got done having sick parties, and Dishonored 2 is the current canvas for my art. Well, I got to be (arguably) the master of my craft…

Overwatch Cheaters Thought They Were Using Undetectable Cheats, But Got Banned Anyway [Updated]

Overwatch got an update yesterday. The biggest addition was a new control map on the test server where you can play in traffic. However, a major wave of bans came alongside the update as well, with some players complaining that it seems to have caught previously undetectable cheat programs. A post on the official Overwatch…

For years now, GTA V fans have tried their best to stop a digital train by any means necessary. Some schemes are logical. Others…not so much. Here are some of the most ridiculous ways GTA V fans have tried to stop the train. Spoilers, most of them didn’t work. But, as all good trainwrecks prove,…

Red Dead Redemption and its Undead Nightmare expansion arrive on PlayStation Now on December 6. Subscribers to Sony’s streaming game service can get their Marston on via PS4 or PC. I could have headlined this “Play Red Dead Redemption on PC Next Week,” but I’m not a monster.

Australian Police Are Searching For A Bad Guy From Goldeneye

Call off the search, I’m pretty sure I shot this guy in Facility back in 1998. The NSW Police posted this e-fit image of a young man they’re looking for in relation to a failed carjacking in Cootamundra. If this image is accurate, the guy has also been moonlighting in many N64 games from the…

Watch Dogs 2 Runs Just Fine On PC

The first Watch Dogs game was a mess on PC. The sequel, thankfully, is not. I took the game for a spin last night on my almost-two-year-old PC and found that, after only one adjustment (turning v-sync on, as it was off by default and chopping up everything), the game’s default GeForce Experience optimized settings—normally…

Overwatch Outfits, As Reviewed By People Who Know Fashion

Overwatch is a cavalcade of character design. It’s almost — dare I say it — fashionable. But what do I know? I’m a 35 year-old games journalist. I own roughly 25 white t-shirts. Five don’t have stains. Yet. My solution: create a panel and ask the experts. This is Overwatch fashion, as reviewed by people…

Someone Leaked Final Fantasy XV‘s Ending Six Months Ago

Back in May, an anonymous poster on 4chan wrote up a bunch of plot points that he said were story spoilers for Final Fantasy XV. Nobody believed him. Well, about that… (Don’t stress: We’ll keep the spoilers out of this article.) As it turns out, this 4chan poster had leaked FFXV’s actual ending, complete with…

Sex Game’s Safe For Work Mode Dresses Characters In Christmas Sweaters
