I'm of the opinion that all video games should have Alien in them. I've gone on-record saying as much (a piece that Darren continually prodded me to actually write). Maybe it's completely unreasonable, but goddamnit did I ever legitimately...   read

Street Fighter V's ongoing butt-slap saga took a turn for the amazing today. A quick refresher for the folks at home: At one point, R. Mika had an animation in which she smacked her mostly-exposed behind for the camera, but then Capcom deci...   read

Bethesda games aren’t really Bethesda games until you’ve modded them up the wazoo. Before launch, Bethesda made a big deal out of Fallout 4 being the first time console players will be able to experience the rush of adding an ar...   read
