‘Assassin’s Creed 3’ Dropping October 30. Slice Of Fun. Slice! Ha!
I haven’t played the last two Assassin’s Creed games. Why? ‘Cause they so enormous and goddamn addictive I’m pretty sure they exist to ruin my life. Still, I’m excited for this game. That I hope I never play.
REVIEW: ‘Mass Effect 3’ Demo Time, Son! Daughter!
I spent this Valentine’s Day with someone special. Someone that’s always been there for me. Some one that I can tell my problems too. Someone that will always listen. Someone that I love. Commander Shepard.
Video: ‘Super Mario World’ Lowest Score Ever Run.
Fuck speed runs! Fuck high-score runs! This is the new-new black. Duder here scores the lowest score ever in Super Mario World, and of course he’s captured his impressive banality on the YouTube. It’s pretty intense.

Video: ‘Bastion’ Narrator x ‘Skyrim’ = Godly Fan Video.
You can’t play Bastion without secretly lamenting that you can have its narrator follow you through your adventures and give your existence some zest. This video takes said narrator and lays it over a Skyrim experience for maximum awesomeosity.
Rumor: ‘Xbox 720’ To Have HD Touchscreen Controller. SO MUCH GIMMICK.
When I think of a new Xbox, my groin swells and I get lightheaded. Xbot!, reporting for duty. Newest rumor? Microsoft is seeing Nintendo a Kinect, and raising them a new touchscreen controller.
Video: ‘Skyrim’ Sizzle Reel Is One Week Of Amazing Additions.
[Caff Edit: First video was taken down. Pratfalls of queuing posts! Added new video, jump to 21:25]
When the motherfuckers at Bethesda were done putting the wraps on Skyrim, they were given a task: spend one week doing whatever they want, putting whatever they want in the day. The results? Pure awesomeness. Dragon mounts. Building your own home. Pitch black dungeons. Adoption. Seasonal foliage. Plus more. They’re noncommital as to whether any of it will actually make the game, but man. To dream.

Tim Schafer’s ‘Adventure’ Game Destroys Kickstarter Records.
Tim Schafer and Double Fine took to Kickstarter to fund a new point-and-click adventure, and in doing so they’ve shattered everything in their wake. Most backers and money pledged in a 24 hour period. Ever.
‘Skyrim’ Has Shipped Over 10 Million Units, Average PC Playtime Is 75 Hours. Hell Yeah.
Maybe I’m losing it, but I consider Skyrim rather special. What may have previously been considered only a dorky fantasy game thwacked the gaming cultural consciousness over the winter, ripping the season away from Battlefield Warfare: Covert Ops for the first time in years. It generated memes, produced sprawling personal stories, and was fun as fuck. So I love hearing monuments to its success.
Producer: ‘Mass Effect’ Isn’t Done After Third Game. Me: No S**t.
Money talks. Established franchises churn money. So color me not surprised when executive producer Casey Hudson commented that Mass Effect isn’t done at the end of the first trilogy.
Video: Mega Man and Pac-Man In Street Fighter X Tekken? G’damn Amazing.
I’m not going to play Street Fighter X Tekken, but if I would I’d be totally rocking out as horrible US Box Art version of Mega Man. There’s Pac-Man too, and good lord if that isn’t chock full of win.
