Stealing its characters fromThe Legend of Zeldaand tossing them into a standard “Jump” style game, Audio Attack’s recently released iOS game is too shameless for the word shameless to even apply....

Peep this: The lovely evolution of Nintendo controllers

I could loop that catchy beat forever This short, sweet look at Nintendo’s controller design over the last quarter century, byChris Koelsch, is probably a better way to waste 30 seconds than whatever you are doing. Unless you’re knitting or doing sick kick flips off of cars on your skateboard. Incidentally, you should upload the latter onto Vimeo. I wasted more than 30 seconds because I kept replaying it for that infectious beat, as well as the lively colors....

PUBG will be getting better anti-cheat measures, partly as a response to people deleting files to avoid the new map

Oops Some people aren’t happy about change. While I find the new Miramar map inPUBGto be a breath of fresh air after playing Erangel fifty billion times, others have been going to extreme measures to avoid playing it. Hilariously, avoiding the new map is as easy as deleting the file in yourPlayerUnknown’s Battlegroundsdirectory. Once the file is gone the game’s lobby system automatically boots you out of the session and takes you back to the main menu....

Someone at Fox News is either a BioShock Infinite fan or a massive copycat

They could be both, too I feel like I could have just presented the above image without context or explanation, and that would have been the entire news post. Really, any kind of commentary I could provide on this just writes itself. Just take a look at this graphic that Fox News implemented during a broadcast about immigration. The piece, called “Defending the Homeland,” featured this graphic that even Ken Levine recognized and called the network out on via Twitter....

Team Fortress 2sdays: Wubs and Dubs

wubwubwubwubwubwubwubwubwub So at the beginning of the month Crash released his new version ofWubWubWub, and let me tell you. It’s great. Well, as great as a dubstep themed seizure inducing concert can be inside a war themed hat simulator. One of my favorite parts absolutely has to be the secret songs that occasionally play, and the glitch texture effects. Trainsawlaser has also seen an update, and much to the tears/joy of people it is just as sadistic as ever, with a new banana grinder trap, repositioned trains and acid that now literally blinds you!...
