You know it's going to happen. Sooner or later. Like a comet that passes perilously close to the earth every five years or so, Donald Trump will remember that video games exist again. That's going to be bad times for all concerned.&n...

Ever had one of those IMDB binges where you just keep clicking the names to see how deep the rabbit hole goes? The kind that ends up with something like OMG MAX FROM PHANTOM 2040 IS MINSC FROM BALDUR'...

There's something I need to get off my chest. There is no Silent Hill pachinko machine. Look at it. There's a picture of the thing, right up there. Does it look like a pachinko machine to you? Do you see any balls? No. It's a slot...

So Konami has disposed of all its best talent so that it can concentrate on mobile games, because that's where the money is now? Well, they do say revenge is a dish best served cold. Last year, Japanese companies were hit by ...

<> Because I think we all need it right now. In the words of Tom McRae on Twitter this morning: In the war on mediocrity, we didn't just lose a general. We lost the commander in chief.

By now you've probably been well informed by multiple sources that Tap My Katamari is a great big turd topped with mustard (it's FRENCH mustard). I'm three days in, and it occurred to me that it presents a good opportunity to look at...

Take the aesthetic of Ed McMillen's Time Fcuk, the sense of humour of Michael Todd's Electronic Super Joy and the mock cathode ray tube schtick of Kung Fury Street Rage, and then make it co-op (and free) and you might just have the next ind...

We like Twitter, enough of us for there to be over three hundred million users. Business likes Twitter, enough to have given the company nearly one and a half billion in revenue in 2014. The media likes Twitter, to the point that "...

It's slowing! The beast is finally slowing! According to Kotaku, early reports (read: what 4chan/v/ says) is that the next 'Screed game, apparently set in Egypt and producing under the working title AC Empire, could be out as ...

You're looking at Samsung's new fridge. That's not a decal on the right, by the way, it's a GIANT FREAKING TABLET BUILT RIGHT INTO THE DOOR. The idea is that it syncs up with the phone of everyone in the...

Siberia pretty much tops the "Why would anybody live here voluntarily" list. Back in the bad old days of Russia (the other bad old days, not the new Putin ones) being "Sent to Siberia" was satirists shorthand for being disappeared by...

Don't get me wrong. I don't get sensitive about phrases like "Geek Blackface" or "Setting back perceptions of gamers in the media." I can watch The Big Bang Theory and have a good time. Hell, I even enjoyed Pixels. But... ...

For a culture that's been kicking around for thirty years, we have a sad lack of shared traditions. This is why Four In February is my favourite time of year whether I participate in it or not - it's nice to feel a sense that everybody...

Christmas is just about the worst time of year for horror fans, and this looks like being one of the most barren yet. The last five years have seen the giants of the genre drop like flies in terms of both gaming and movies, and horror liter...

"The feeling you get is that you're one of those space monkeys. Push a button. Pull a lever. You don't understand any of it, and then you just die."       -Chuck Palahniuk           Blossom B...

Are you in need of a bit of timely mouthwash to cleanse the pallet of the nasty aftertaste of the past week? Then join me in a roundup of everything and everyone that's been called SJW by Twitter in the past seven days.     ...

Wrestling and video games. You'd think this would be a no-brainer. Wrestling, like reality TV and soap opera, is its own little bubble world which operates on its own set of rules and physical laws. It's not quite real while giving the appe...

It looks like people are angry at the internet for lying to them again. And by "The Internet" I mean "Jim Sterling," and by "Lying to them," I mean his famous comment that "Anita Sarkeesian isn't going to take your games away." Because that...
