Adam Orth Just Had One Of The Best Years Of His Life

It sounds impossible, and it might sound crazy to you. Adam Orth, Internet Enemy #1 this past spring—the Deal With It, always-online ex-Microsoft guy—is sizing up the past several months of pain and hurt and sounds like a man reborn. “It was a good year for me,” he says. “It was dark, in the beginning,”…

Playing Water Wars With Jason Statham Can Be Brutal

No matter how stupid that water gun looks, it looks badass in the hands of Jason Statham. He was Jimmy Fallon’s guest on yesterday’s Late Night, where they played a traditional card game—but with water and guns added. Sounds fun! Some parts are a bit uncomfortable to watch. Fallon really should have worn a black…

Smash Bros.‘ Director Doesn’t Have To Work Hard. But He Does Anyway

I don’t care what Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai does so long as he makes the next Smash Bros. Apparently, Nintendo seems to share that sentiment.

Where Video Games And Tabletop Gaming Meet

Donkey Kong Gets Unofficial Star Wars, Alien, Total Recall Expansions
