Given how long game development takes, this is probably the correct take. Blizzard guaranteed had people working on this map for probably 10 months or more before that guy released his fan-made one.

In one clip you can see the red laser sight keying in on the player sitting on the right of the screen. That is much more chilling than seeing the actual violence play out.

I know. It’s pretty silly that we report heavily on this massive pop-cultural powerhouse with millions of players.

Aww yeah, Chip and Ironicus are the guys that got me hooked on watching Let’s Plays to begin with. Excellent production values, good banter, fun high level gameplay, it’s the whole package.

fuck that. film the cops regardless.

I feel bad for all the honest hard working writers at IGN in all this, it seems like in some circles they’re being found guilty by association. Good for Jason and Kotaku that they’re fairly reporting IGN’s response and reaction when discussing this story.

Fox News is going to reference this until the end of time.

The password, which could not be changed, was (you might want to take a deep breath) “abcde.”

The pathways for these games are a fascinating window into how many games were distributed in the 1980s. Typed-up fliers posted in zines or gathering places, a modem number for contacting the distributors, a floppy disk with a printed label. LGBT games perhaps made more common the forms of distribution used by other…

Kelly Thompson has a strong handle on (my favorite X-Men character) Rogue. However, I’m still bummed that her powers have regressed in the last few years. Mike Carey had Rogue gain full control over her power absorption, but now she’s back to gloves and chaste interactions with her husband.

I went googling for a Dumbo Bambie hybrid expecting the internet to fail me... I give you the glory that is Dumbie.

Let me remind everyone that this is not censorship. Censorship implies that the government has banned the episode in question. This is not the case as its still possible to stream the subbed version of the episode. No, what has happened was that the distributor to the Pokemon anime has decided not to localize this…

Officially no. You’re on different islands that are very far apart (the meteor didn’t show up in Save the World until a month after it first appeared in Battle Royale, and I don’t think the cracks in the sky are visible in STW at all). Despite that, I like to think that Battle Royale is a training program for the…

So far no. PvE was “Fortnite” forever, and the PvP modes was supposed to just be an offshoot/additional mode made using some recycled assets. THen the PvP became the hit.

This is a false dichotomy though, right? Overwatch really isn’t trying to tell a story in game. There are narrative allusions and references to the out of game comics and CGI shorts, but even those are simply vignettes that expand on the world building without telling a cohesive narrative. Blizzard seems perfectly…

Sounds like for the moment he’ll be useless but not for long.  I’m sure he’s looking forward to finally being let out of his cage.
