High On Life's Satire Isn't Just Good, It Stunts On Big-Budget Games
4.1.2023
Over the 420-induced blur that was my Christmas to New Year’s, I spent about 16 hours finishing High on Life’s campaign. It was a pleasant way to unwind in the final days of 2022, and the game got quite a few laughs out of me, not to mention more than a few raised eyebrows and groans. But most...

High On Life Is Now The Most Popular Game On Game Pass
20.12.2022
Wacky shooter High On Life, only a week after its initial release on PC and Xbox Game Pass, is currently the most popular game on the service, beating out big-name Xbox titles and long-running games like Minecraft.

14.12.2022

High On Life: The Kotaku Review
13.12.2022
I’m about four hours into High On Life and I have a migraine. It’s unfair to say that the game has given me one—I am, after all, notoriously prone to them—but it certainly isn’t helping. The brightly colored, gloopy, blobby alien worlds and incessant chatter from NPCs, enemies, and my weapons...
Fortnite Is Giving Away Pickle Rick For Free, Cursing Us All

Breath of the Wild Guardian Cosplay Is A Sight To Behold
20.6.2022
People have been cosplaying as Link and Zelda (and even Ganon) since the series first debuted, but those guys are (relatively) easy. They’re bipedal, they wear clothes, you put some make-up on, get a weapon, boom, you’re cosplaying as a Nintendo character. But what about Breath of the Wild’s...

A List Of Your Fave Celebrities Who Are Now Peddling NFTs
1.10.2021
NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) have exploded in popularity in 2021. This sucks. NFTs use blockchain technology to allow artists and creators to sell a “special type of cryptographic token which represents sgomething unique”, so each token is one-of-a-kind. Though to be clear: only the token itself...
