Red Dead Online’s Weekly Legendary Bounties Are Worth Trying
Back in September, Rockstar started adding weekly legendary bounties in Red Dead Online. These new legendary bounties have unique cutscenes, new voice acting and are designed to feel like big cinematic missions. The first two were great. The three since then have been as well, making legendary bounties some of the best content in the…

The Witcher 3 On Switch Gives Us What We Always Needed: A Portable Geralt
The Witcher 3 is on Nintendo Switch today. I am a person who loves both The Witcher 3 and going places, so you’d think this would be the greatest day of my life. After a few hours with The Switcher, I have some hesitations, but ultimately, it’s a fine port, and if that gets more…

Overwatch’s Dva features in a brand new Switch controller, which I had to grab the moment I saw it. While it looks great in the box, the Dva controller doesn’t feel half as high-quality as a Switch Pro controller, which is $20 more expensive. Thankfully, it has motion controls, so we’ll be able to take…

The extensive patch notes for The Division 2‘s big Title Update 6 have been posted by publisher Ubisoft. Overhauls to the game’s loot system are a big part of it, but this is also kind of exciting: “Added the option to add a dye to all armor pieces.” At last! The updates hit the game…

There’s A Konami Code In Fortnite‘s Black Hole
If you, like me and the rest of the internet, are staring at Fortnite’s black hole waiting for something to happen, you can enter the Konami code to play a mini-game. It’s simple, but it beats sitting around. As captured by Fortnite News, entering the Konami code brings up an old-school shooter minigame where a…

Let’s Remember Final Fantasy VI, 25 Years Later
Final Fantasy VI was first released in North America (as Final Fantasy III) 25 years and two days ago, on October 11th, 1994. On Friday, I streamed the game for two hours—after reminiscing on my teenaged hype for the game for half an hour with the visual aide of some scans of the October 1994…

Minecraft Players Are Using Honey Blocks To Run On Walls
Honey is sticky. You probably already knew that. But did you know that if you smear a bunch of honey on a wall you can run on that wall because the honey is sticky enough to hold your weight? Well, at least that’s how it works in Minecraft. In the latest update for the game,…

You Can Find A Hidden Cat That Shoots Lasers In Brothers In Arms: Hell’s Highway
Some Easter eggs and secrets aren’t actually that hard to find. Sometimes they are even connected to achievements or trophies in-game, making them very easy to locate. But some secrets are much harder to find and honestly make me wonder how anyone ever finds these things. The Easter Egg Hunter and Oddheader, two YouTubers who…

I Think My Horse In Red Dead Online Is Pooping Too Much
I was getting off my horse to grab a dead bird I had just shot when my horse decided it was time to go to the bathroom. So it started pooping right there in the woods. Of course, this isn’t a problem. Horses in Red Dead Online poop and they do it where they need…

Fortnite‘s World Is Full Of Fast Food, Which Makes Sense
This weekend could be the last hurrah for Fortnite’s current map, since Epic Games has described the season’s standard game-changing event as “the end.” I feel ready for a new map, but I hope it retains the game’s fast food icons and restaurants. They aren’t the biggest part of Fortnite’s lore, but they’re the perfect…

EVE Online Enemies Are Working Together To Encourage More War
EVE Online has been made famous by its players doing outrageous things in their shared sandbox. Recently, a group of players on opposing factions came together to shut down the ability for players to make money in the game, so that they can focus on war instead.

Seemingly via the Italian app store, a thumbnail for Fortnite “chapter 2” shows characters standing in front of a river with boats. There’s also a short sizzle reel. We’ll find out when Season 10 ends on Sunday at 2pm Eastern. (Correction 10/13/19—This…

There Are Now Sonic Movie Halloween Costumes And No One Is Ready
You ever spot a really bad idea and think, “that’s definitely going to have consequences that no one can foresee”? To me, that’s the Sonic the Hedgehog movie. Not because of its questionable design choices (give me the weird hog, it’s good, actually) but because no matter how great Sonic’s movie design is, Halloween was…

The Gundam Soccer Parody We Need
YouTuber Hiiro has been creating computer animations of soccer-playing mobile suits. Haro is the ball, while Ultraman and Kamen Rider are the refs. The ensuing parody is delightful. This isn’t a first. In 1992, Banpresto released a soccer game for the Super Famicom called Battle Soccer: Field no Hasha in which Gundam mecha, Kamen Rider,…
