Two games about dating monsters are on the docket With disgusting acts of violence towardsQueer Americans on the riseand aVice President elect with a long history of demonizingany person of behavior that strays from the hetero-normative standard, many Americans are rightfully afraid for their lives. That’s why now more than ever, any expression of queerness, no matter how silly or lighthearted, needs the support of those who want to stop this country from returning to the culture-wide, normalized homophobia we had just begun to crawl out of....

‘Our next update will introduce a new playable character to the game’ Bloodstainedhas had a really interesting run so far. It has those twofantastic, almostuniversally beloved spinoffs, and one very polarizing main entry. Not only was the Kickstarter itself divisive, but the game, most notably the Switch port, has been the subject of scrutiny since launch. That was over two years ago. Now the team is still having technical issues withBloodstainedDLC....

Electronic Arts has revealed the cover for its upcoming boxing title,Fight Night Round 4,as voted by fans. It features legends Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson taking swings at each other, but missing. Punches almost connect, but not quite. Ali appears to hit a bag of water just out of frame, but certainly not Iron Mike. Because of this, Tyson can still say nice things about Ali without looking like a total wimp....

Where are the numbers Bungie? When a developer typically posts patch notes, especially for an RPG, MMO, or otherwise numbers-heavy game, they provide data. People like to roastFortnitefor its cartoony feel but Epic Games consistently providesdetailed patch noteswith actual numbers so that their community doesn’t have to math things out on their own. Destiny 2developer Bungie is notoriously bad at this; it’s a strategy thathas previously mislead the communityand although their community team has been saying that they “hear” the calls to add data they’ve made no efforts to fix it for years on end....

Last week we told you of rumors that electronics retailerCircuit City might be closing 155 stores in the coming weeks. The poor state of the store chain was confirmed when I drove past our local location last week. Its windows were plastered with “everything on sale” signs.

Yeah, this week is a total copout. I’m really damn lazy and have no creativity to speak of at the moment, so instead of a story about Glenn Danzig, you get clips from MTV’sThe State. Then again, since I have made a successful career of blatantly ripping off Michael Ian Black, it’s almost like you’re getting something directly from me! Sorta … Hit the jump for more. (Editor’s Note: If you’re so inclined, you can also pick up the first season ofThe Stateon the Xbox LIVE Marketplace or the iTunes Music Store....

If we created a “Bulkiest Space Marine Armor of the Year” award it’s quite possibleSection 8would run away with the it. The men ofSection 8are wearing some ofthe bulkiest, most burdensome stuffwe’ve ever seen. But there’s a point (beyond beating Epic Games at their own rough-and-tough-dude game): the soldiers inSection 8are sci-fi paratroopers and when they jump, they hit the groundhard. Below the fold is a lengthy trailer for the game....
