Anyone know the intent behind Cheez using a demented Pepe the frog as his mascot? I know a lot of people his age liked him before the alt right adopted/hijacked the icon...

Can someone explain how this is bad for the environment? There’s no question how stupid it is (unless you find a way to litigate people for using your image), but I’ve tried reading the linked articles and it seems to imply that people purchasing these files are... causing more carbon emissions?

It’s bizarre. We went from getting arguably the best port of Soul Calibur 2 on the Gamecube... to a decent Dead or Alive on the 3DS... and then... Tekken Tag on the Wii U? 

PSA: The Switch still hasn’t had a traditional 3D fighting game. No VF. No Tekken. No Soul Calibur. No Dead or Alive. This means that a GAME has more representation in this genre than the entire console.

The gif in the headline reminded me of “High Beams” from “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.” SOMEONE tell me they know what I’m talking about!

I will continue to support Matt Makes Games, but every year Towerfall 2 doesn’t get announced hurts me a little more.

That’s a good point, but the outrage of this article seemed to imply Capcom was wronging people with this marketing strategy. However, if COVID had never happened and Capcom did a promotional in-person event where even fewer people got to play the game for an even shorter amount of time, it would never be seen as a…

A demo is a glorified advertisement, and if they only want to run their ad for 8 hours then that’s a perfectly legitimate marketing decision. Unless they’re taking your money, I don’t think they owe anyone anything.

Spoiler alert: it runs better than the Switch version.

Definitely seek out the “Howling Wraiths” spell. It does massive damage to boss characters if you position yourself right and you can spam it really quickly to finish them off before they get any funny ideas (especially if you increase its damage by 50% using the Shaman Stone). It’s honestly the only reason I was able…

Shout out to the deeply underappreciated ZombiU. It eventually got ported to other systems, but the best way to play is using the WiiU gamepad because you needed to take your eyes of the main screen to manage your inventory or loot chests/bodies/etc.  Dying had real consequences in that game, and I’ll never forget the…

Your idea reminds of the original Steel Battalion on Xbox. You’ve probably heard of the ridiculously expensive and complex mech controller it came with. But what you might not know is that in addition to ridiculously specific switches like exhaust and windshield wipers, there was also an eject button protected by a…

This is an odd take considering the Pickle Rick episode was a parody of action-shooter tropes. It’d be the equivalent of adding The Mystery Men to the new Avengers game.

Yeah, that’s right. Dropping a “Mystery Men” reference on you in 2021. You’re welcome.

Police aren’t “ignoring” white crime, but racial profiling means they’re less likely to detect it. This also is due to the fact that many communities of color are hesitant to report crimes to the police for a LOT of reasons. Police reform is a very complex, very big issue that will take a lot of work and a lot of…

Some things I would really like you to consider. Please read all four.

I do not believe you, but I am not about to go hunt down “FBI stats” to prove you right. Please cite your source directly.

I remember when the 360 came out, I eagerly downloaded EVERY free demo to see what the system could do. Didn’t even finish the Quake 4 demo though. It felt like a game without a thesis, if that makes sense.

Pretty encouraging considering the game’s history. Good on WotC for addressing their past problematic content and growing with the times.

I think when the similarity is as strong as what we’re seeing here, you need to assume it’s not a coincidence.

Reminder: Epic wants you to think that they themselves are anti-trust freedom fighters, so this is far from surprising.
