How to hunt a Mare in Phasmophobia

There’s nothing quite like a bad dream to put you on edge for the day. Trying to hunt a Mare inPhasmophobiamay end up doing the same since the folklore behind the spirit brought about the origin of the word ‘nightmare’. As you do with most ghosts inPhasmophobia, to hunt a Mare requires you to find evidence by watching for the spirit’s behavior. There are three pieces of evidence to gather, but you’ll have an easier time by hunting the Mare in the right conditions....

I want to play as Gatomon in Digimon: All-Star Rumble

Or Biyomon, whatever Digimon All-Star Rumbleis headed for an official launch for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 11, and I couldn’t be more excited. It’s been so long since I’ve actually played aDigimongame that this one has me itching to revisit the series and the awful dub so I can prepare myself to Digi-volve into the ultimate tamer. Or whatever. This entry into the long-runningDigimonvideo game series is a party-arena multiplayer endeavor that place Digimon against each other in a “Digimon Evolution Tournament” to determine once and for all who’s the strongest of them all....

It took seven hours, but Spelunky has a new world record

A Plasma Cannon in 1-1. A jetpack in 1-2. This is the start of a remarkably fortunateSpelunkyrun. It’s a run that will, at least for the foreseeable future, remain at the top of the leaderboards.Bananasaurus Rex, known as being the first person to complete asolo eggplant run, has set the new world record score: $3,105,850. This went down live on Twitch earlier today and when I tuned in at around thesix-hour mark, he was only just destroying the last remaining bits of the City of Gold....

Iwata: 3D’s popularity was very lucky for Nintendo

If you think about it Nintendo must have been working on the 3DS for a pretty long time now, long before 3D came in vogue. It takes at least a couple years to even get a gaming system up to spec, let alone to a place where you want the press to get their mitts all over it on the show floor. So how did Nintendo know that 3D was going to be all the rage?...

Lichdom: Battlemage is out this week on consoles for $48 more than the PC version

Due to a current bundle deal The magic-based action-RPGLichdom: Battlemagehas been out for nearly two years on PC, but it is finally making its way to both the PS4 and Xbox One this week for $49.99. Meanwhile, you can currently snag the PC version for$1.99 via Bundle Stars, though the regular asking price on Steam is $39.99. Seems like a weird decision to have the console port of your game cost more than the surely graphically superior PC version, even if it is a bit old, and to release it when your PC version costs less than an order of large fries at a fast food restaurant....

Man proposes to girlfriend in Left 4 Dead 2 custom map

Videogame-related proposals are just so damn amazing. When you have great proposal scenarioslike the one fromPortal 2involving the voice actor for GLaDOS getting on board, or the amusing Claptrap fromBorderlandspresenting someone with the big questionin his own unique way, it’s easy to see why. You might think that a game likeLeft 4 Dead 2isn’t fit for a proposal, I mean the zombies are scary and the game’s atmosphere isn’t exactly ideal to ask for someone’s hand in marriage, but somehow map creator “RT Frisk” has made it happen for YouTube user EGBTMagus and his special girl....

New Call of Duty Zombies DLC has Kevin Smith for some reason

The 90s can never die I may not be a fan of his films as his nepotism resulted inYoga Hosers, hands down the worst film of 2016, but I have always appreciated how big of a nerd Kevin Smith is. Along with fighting to direct episodes of shows he loves likeThe FlashandSupergirl, he also cameos in the dumbest things. Case in point, the new Sabotage DLC map pack forCall of Duty: Infinite Warfare....

Put Slaughterhouse Scramble in your speakers with Beyond Good and Evil 20th Anniversary vinyl

One of the most enduring parts ofBeyond Good & Evilfor me is its soundtrack. Now I can relive it (as if it hasn’t lived in my head since 2003), with theBeyond Good and Evil 20th Anniversarysoundtrack on vinyl. Two tracks in particular are standouts for me. The first isSlaughterhouse Scramble, which includes what I ampretty sureare gibberish lyrics sung by someone who is just so damned invested in their performance. Say what you will about the crunchy, three power-chord backing, but that vocalist is just wrecking house....
