Plague Inc. Makes Killing Billions of People Feel Educational

The stunningly enduring iPhone sensation Plague Inc. may be the video game with the highest body count in the long history of the medium. I’m trying to think of another game that made me feel inadequate for laying waste to a mere 1.75 billion people. We like to pretend that Grand Theft Auto invented the…

Hearthstone Effects In Slow Motion Are Hypnotic

Playing Hearthstone in slow mo would be the most masochistic thing ever known to man, and Legend Stuff’s clip is luckily not about that.

A new illustrated chart by MorphCostumes shows how complicated Marvel and DC universes are by showing the achilles heels of heroes and villains. Lock them all up in a geological museum and you’re almost done. But whether it’s an organic material or simply just a form of speech, it’s possibly a weakness for some hero…

The Second Attack on Titan Movie Also Sucks

I had hopes! Big hopes! There was potential, I thought, and maybe, just maybe, the filmmakers were going to show me up as an idiot by delivering a first-rate, smart Attack on Titan sequel. I was wrong. They did not. Last month, I reviewed the first Attack on Titan movie. This month, I am back…

How Are We Supposed to Play All These Enormous Video Games?

I played the opening few hours of Batman: Arkham Knight in August. You know what I did after that? I opened up the map, saw that it was forested with icons, and then turned the game off forever.

Noctis from Final Fantasy XV Smells Okay, I Guess

You’ve seen what Noctis looks like, and this weekend, I learned what he smelled like. The fragrance was created in the character’s image, so if you catch a whiff, you probably get an idea of the character’s scent. At least, that seems to be the idea. We’ve known about the Noctis Eau de Toilette for…

People Worry about the Health of Dragon Quest X‘s Director

This is Chikara Saito. Fans call him “Rickey.” He’s the director for Dragon Quest X Online. In the above photo, which dates from a while back, he looks healthy and happy.

A Video Game About Scrubbing Naked Men In The Shower

Well, I’ve downloaded and played a game about helping another man in the shower. That’s my day made. —NSFW BELOW— It’s called Rinse and Repeat, and its the latest game by Robert Yang. You might remember Robert Yang. He’s the (goddamn genius) who made a game about having sex with your car. There was also…

Great Shot GTA V Truck, That Was One In A Million

Blacksmoke Billy, the world’s foremost expert in GTA truck madness, returns with a series of C4+trailer stunts that just boggle the mind. Doing this once, OK, you can call it a fluke and thank console makers for including gameplay capture. But doing it a bunch of times? I shudder to think at the amount of…

Super-Rare Sonic The Hedgehog Game, Once Lost, Now Playable
