Pokémon Twitch Streamer Stunned At Hitting Shiny Monster Jackpot


It’s incredibly rare to encounter a Shiny Pokémon in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. It’s even rarer to encounter two in a row in the same battle. Several thousand times rarer, in fact. But that’s exactly what happened to one Twitch streamer when he was least expecting it.Read more

Esports High School Opening In Japan Next Spring


Do you like video games? Are you going to be a high school student in Japan? If you answered “yes” to both, have I got an academic institution for you. This April, as junior high school students across Japan enter high school, a new type of specialty institution will open its doors. Dubbed “Esport...

Thank Goodness, Japan Built Another Giant Gundam


The whole has been shaken up by the global pandemic. Many things have changed, but one thing that has not is Japan is still building giant Gundams. Thank goodness for that. That latest one-to-one scale recreation is the RX-93FF ν (Nu) Gundam, a revamped version of the Nu Gundam everyone knows...

The Best Games To Check Out During Steam’s Massive Winter Sale


Yes, Gamers, it is that time of year again—time for the Steam Winter Sale, which becomes more of a normal seasonal sale and less of a gamified mess with every year that passes (for better and for worse). 2021 was a pretty great, albeit odd, year for video games, so I wanted to bring that strange...

The Joker Admitting He Plays An RPG Might Be The Best Video Game Ad Of 2021


We all know The Joker has lost it. He goes around performing heinous acts of violence, all in an effort to prove life has perennial comedic potential. But how many of us knew he was a *gulp* gamer? I didn’t. That is until a twin set of advertisements for the idle figurine RPG Figure Fantasy started...

Your Halo Infinite Spartan Can Now Wear Cat Ears And It's About Damn Time


Wasn’t I just commending Halo Infinite a couple of weeks ago for letting me wear cutesy stuff like sunflowers and roses? Now I’m back to sing its praises for a different type of armor attachment that will be a familiar sight to egirls and weebs alike. Yes, Master Chief can now wear cat ears. This...

Ian Walker's Top Ten Games Of 2021


Writing up a “Top X Games Of X Year” list is always a slog, but all the ups and downs of 2021—both personal and global—made it even harder. Frankly, there were points over the last 12 months where the last thing I wanted to do was sit down and play a video game.Read more

Meme Stock GameStop Now Accepts Meme Cryptos Like Doge


In a year which began with memes helping to propel GameStop’s junk stock price into the stratosphere, it’s only fitting that the shrinking video game retailer should cap the frivolities off by cozying up to cryptocurrencies. Last week, GameStop apparently joined Flexa, a payment network that lets...

John Walker's Top 10 Games Of 2021


The good news about 2021 is the world’s governments have all agreed that it’s been so bad it doesn’t count, and no one has to add the past year to their age. Sucks for American 20-year-olds, for sure, but it’s a small price to pay. The other good news is that, despite a weird-ass year for gaming...

The Best RPGs Of 2021


There was, I would argue, no genre-defining role-playing game this year, but there were still a hell of a lot of good ones. So many, in fact, that I had a hard time keeping this list from ballooning even larger than it already is. I tried my best, and even knocked off some of my personal favorites....

The 11 Best Cozy Games That Helped Us Survive 2021


This year was the worst of times and...no, wait. I’m hearing it was just the worst of times. But games have helped a lot of us through it, especially ones that lean more relaxing than punishing.Read more

Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker Players Mourn Blocky Grapes


Pour some pixelated wine out for Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker’s purple grapes. The latest update—Patch 6.01—has smoothed out their angular edges and made them far less blocky. In the Patch 6.01 notes, Square Enix noted the following under “Resolved Issues.”Read more

Project Zomboid Is Still Going Strong Ten Years Later


I remember playing Project Zomboid—a game we first covered in 2011—almost a decade ago and really liking it. A slow-paced zombie survival sim, it gave players a chance to scrounge their way around a town trying to stay alive, searching for food and supplies, while at every corner zombies were...

Twitch Co-Founder Gets Discord Hacked, $150,000 Stolen From Users In NFT Scam


Justin Kan, a co-founder of Twitch and the dude Justin.TV was named for, last week decided to launch a site called Fractal, which would be a ‘marketplace’ where in-game items could be bought and sold as NFTs. Later, in Fractal’s Discord server, a link appeared advertising a drop of 3333 NFTs....

Luke Plunkett's Top 10 Games Of 2021


“It has been a bad year. A bad year with, mercifully, some very good video games”. That’s what I said this time last year as I tried to exit 2020 with some optimism. Womp. Turns out 2021 would be even worse, since this time around there weren’t even many “very good video games”.Read more
