I've previously written about my love of the design and architecture podcast 99% Invisible here when it pertains to gaming. Last time, it was when they signal-boosted a Smithsonian podcast for an episode about the ET landfill, but this week...
You don't necessarily flock to a video game convention expecting to see fish, but if someone makes the offhand suggestion to hit up a nearby aquarium and the pitch has time to simmer, before you know it, you're committed to spending $35 per...
In celebration of Ignis Scientia's birthday on February 7, Square Enix is honoring our favorite excitable chef and arguable Best Boy with a paper mask that Final Fantasy XV fans can make themselves. This silly thing wound up in our staff Sl...
Seriously. Don't do it, guys. Redditor blukirbi learned this lesson the hard way so we don't have to.
In case you'd prefer to stay home this week and play Fallout 4 rather than go into work, Bethesda marketing boss and respected medical doctor Pete Hines has whipped up a sick note to help you play hooky. Just be ready to field some question...
Fallout 4, video game as it is, will have a menu screen. Enthralling stuff. We have an image of what that looks like. But, some people hate spoilers, and they're probably mad that I even confirmed there's a menu screen. Damn, I better prote...
When I first signed up for a PlayStation Network account many moons ago, I was dismayed to find my desired username was unavailable. Heartbroken and frustrated about not being able to go by the moniker xXxNoScopeXxX, I created a handle I kn...
A generic cardboard box. It may look pedestrian, but it's light, sturdy, and has a hundred and one uses. How can we get by without them? A good cardboard box is a soldier's best friend; having one handy can mean the difference be...
Video Game Advisor (Twitter, Tumblr) is a resource I didn't know I wanted. The archive captures those moments when video games attempt to give advice about life, love, and beyond. Sometimes, the message is insightful. Other times, it's down...
If I were allowed to make commercials for video games, I'd want them to look like this:
Pac-Man reminds me of a child actor whose star burned too bright. Much like that cute kid from that one movie, Pac-Man fell on hard times after his crippling meth addiction landed him in rehab. Nowadays, the poor guy can been seen eating ou...
Nothing worse than an empty stomach. Come on over if you want some leftovers (partially pictured below).
This baby is bad at sharing. The beagle felt bad about taking its toy, so it apologized by giving it many new ones, including a DualShock 3. It also might be trying to suffocate the baby, I'm not sure. Dogs are great.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain felt pretty complete to me when they let me play 14 hours of it, though I'm sure there's still work to be done. Regardless, whether Hideo Kojima is tirelessly crunching to finish realizing his vision or ...
Between Skylanders, Disney Infinity, amiibo, and now LEGO Dimensions, I'm hearing an awful lot of talk about the "toys to life" category these days. That's fine, but nudge me when we can do this:
E3 is over. But before we get back to our normal routines, check out these steamy booth attendants.
You see the depths I go for yous guys? I ate a Hot Pocket.

This thing is positively ancient.
Capcom still hasn't killed Yoshinori Ono, despite its best efforts. Here he is at E3, meeting fans and being very alive.
Nintendo's E3 2015 booth was dominated by huge lines for Star Fox Zero and a massive Super Mario Maker section but, tucked away toward the back, there was our old pal Donkey Kong sporting his new Skylanders SuperChargers look. Goo...
Ubisoft wanted this E3 moment to become a meme. Nah.
Well, that's just like your opinion, man.
Bombshells dropped at the Minecraft HoloLens demo during Microsoft's E3 2015 presser.
