The troubled titan makes its comeback this spring Last night, wrasslin’ promotion World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) held its annual SummerSlam (or “The SummerSlam” if you’re Bret Hart) extravaganza.

Marketed with the slogan “It Hits Different”, the digital grappler will return to the ring in March of 2022....

I’ve been sitting on this info for a little while, waiting to get a proper screen grab of the two winning t-shirts in action, but my screen grabbing equipment sucks and I can’t wait any longer. So here there are, the two winners of theNo More Heroes 2t-shirt design contest. Both contestants have had their entries programmed into the game, and are among some of the best clothes Travis Touchdown (badass) can buy....

You’d never have thought that a series as popular asCall of Dutywould need championing like some scrappy little underdog, but if you move in the right circles you soon come to learn that Activision’s shooter series is battered and dumped upon as if it’s the class nerd in an entirenationfull of jocks. Tearing a lump out ofCall of Dutyis as popular as mocking Justin Bieber or declaring that you despiseAngry Birds, and the motivation for doing so is pretty much the same all over — it’s successful....

Mario Paintis amazing. While all the different features of the Super Nintendo classic are great, there is a special place in my heart for the music generator. Using various symbols on a standard musical staff, players can create wacky compositions using sound effects ranging from basic trumpet to hilarious meowing cat. Trust me, hearing “Jingle Bells” in dog barks and Yoshi, er,yaps(?) is hilarious every time. Now, withMario Composer— a freeware application — anyone can download the hopelessly addictive music maker to his/her Mac or PC desktop....

Corgi! I’m going to be straight with you on this blog post. I likeDance Central 3and all (I got a copy for my niece for Christmas), and Carly Rae Jespen is great, but I really just posted this story to have another excuse to share the corgi parody music video that I’ve watched probably two dozen times already. I like this parody so much that I bark over the original song whenever I hear it....

Same as it ever was I shouldn’t let box art bother me like this, but I’m unable to stop wondering what other covers were rejected in favor of this one forDestiny. It’s pretty standard, which is what makes it disappointing — there’s so much potential. Back before the game was properly revealed, Bungie gave us a bunch of concept art and not much else. Rather cool concept art, I should say....

The flame upgrades are a needed boost In case you don’t play MOBAs (or another competitive genre), new characters are usually all the rage, but often times a team will look back at older roster members and tighten them up a bit to keep inline with the inherent power creep that most recent additions bring to the table. Blizzard has been steadily reworking characters in its MOBAHeroes of the Stormfor the past few years, and now Diablo is up next on The Butcher’s chopping block....

I know. I know. It is a weird topic to have, but we need to have an honest debate about the Nintendo Switch 2 and, more so, how we think it’ll perform. Despite original fanfare during the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal, since then, there has been a lot of discourse around the console for varied reasons. Where its the debate on $80 games being the new norm, the controversial game key cards that are physical games but not physical games, or the rumors circulating that Nintendo can brick your console anytime it wants, there’s a lot of negative press around what should have been an exciting time for new hardware....
