“Hey you, you’re finally awake” are words engraved into the memory of everyone who has ever played Skyrim. These are the first words players hear as they awaken confused in the back of a horse-drawn wagon, an event that has led to a viral meme known as the Toddroll or the Skyrimroll. These memes tell a story that eventually ends up with the speaker passing out to wake up in the back of a horse-drawn wagon or sometimes in a form of media where players think they’re getting one game and it actually turns out to be Skyrim....

Many fans would argue to the ends of the earth, stating that Fallout New Vegas is the best Fallout game ever made, and many of them will reference a multitude of reasons. Be that the exciting story, different creators, or the incredible traits, mods, and easter eggs hidden within. Ultimately, there are a few aspects to this game that really makes it stand out, one of the best ones being Wild Wasteland....

THQ Nordic recently announced a full-fledged Destroy All Humans! remake, to be developed by Black Forest Games. THQ Nordic announced the game with a cinematic trailer, but the trailer didn’t actually let fans hear main character Crypto talk. This led to some worry that THQ Nordic may have recast the role of Crypto for the Destroy All Humans! remake, but anyone worried can rest assured that the same voice actors are in the game....

The upcoming Destroy All Humans remake is more than just a shiny new coat of paint. The developers have actually restored content to it that was cut out of the original release, with Destroy All Humans fans given their first glimpse of the lost mission called “The Wrong Stuff.” As evident by the new Destroy All Humans teaser trailer, The Wrong Stuff mission sees Crypto’s human enemies attempt to reverse engineer his technology to create their very own flying saucer....

After being in development for years as well as getting delayed, Final Fantasy VII Remake will finally release next week, and eager fans of the game will get the chance to re-experience it in a complete remake from the ground up. But although the game is scheduled to release on April 10, there have been multiple reports stating that some players have been able to get early physical copies. For instance, players who live in Australia have reported that the game is already out and that they can purchase it from their local stores....

Today’s Nintendo Direct Mini brought with it the announcement of Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny. While that’s good news for established fans of the tactical RPG series, newcomers might be a little less confident about jumping into it six mainline titles in. Luckily, Nintendo is giving Switch owners a pain-free way to try out the series, as it announced during the Direct that the previous main entry, Disgaea 5: Complete, will be free next week for the company’s latest Game Trial....

Disney’s presence at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con will be heavily featuring shows they acquired through the purchase of Fox earlier this year. Disney is well on its way to owning pretty much all of its entertainment rivals. Earlier this year, it made perhaps its biggest acquisition to date: the purchase of Fox. It took pretty much two years for the deal to be hashed out and finalized, but this past March it was confirmed that Fox and most of its big shows were now the property of Disney....

Graham and Ryan have left Doctor Who, and it was sad/joyous/on telly (delete as applicable), but where do their departures rank on the all-time list? The question of “Who counts as a companion?” is a tricky one. Overall it’s an ad hoc combination of different criteria, with allowances made for the exceptions that are intended to fulfil the companion role on a one-off basis. The ranking system is based on whether the departure makes sense for that character, how well it’s built up to, and what it says about Doctor Who in a larger sense....

For the first three seasons, Janet Hubert played “Aunt Viv” on The Fresh Prince of Bell-Air, dealing out wisdom to Will Smith’s Philadelphia transplant. Aunt Viv remained a constant on the show, but starting with season four, Daphne Maxwell Reid stepped into the role, giving pop culture enthusiasts a new term for sudden recastings. But to actors who replace other actors, the term “Aunt Viv” might have negative connotations. At least, that’s the impression viewers get when watching Don Cheadle‘s reaction during an interview with GQ....

Publisher Bethesda reveals how the id Software-developed DOOM reboot handles the gameplay aspects for its king of the hill mode in multiplayer matches. Bethesda’s and id Software’s forthcoming first-person shooter, DOOM, is not only set to have an intense and fast-paced single-player campaign, but according to the studios, it’s also going to include plenty of furiously frenzied multiplayer action, with the game’s take on “king of the hill” being one of the title’s most hectic offerings....

The developers at id Software love putting Easter eggs into their games. In Doom Eternal alone, there’s a bookshelf with references to Fallout, Quake, Half-Life, Duke Nukem, and so many more. The saturation of references in Doom games makes it all the more surprising that id confirmed in its latest patch that it had removed one. And it was a strikingly popular Easter egg, at that. The Easter egg in question is a nod to Japanese Virtual YouTuber Inugami Korone....

During Bethesda’s E3 2016 press conference, game developer id Software reveals its plans for a premium DLC pack and free summer updates for its first-person shooter DOOM. Those fans looking to extend their single-player campaign experiences in the highly revered DOOM will be able to do so in a short amount of time, for id Software’s first piece of premium DLC for the shooter is called Unto the Evil, and it is due out next month....

Perhaps Dr Disrespect has just been cake all along, becauses fan of his has created an incredibly life-like dessert version of his head. Gaming fans everywhere were excited to see Dr Disrespect’s sudden return to live streaming on Friday afternoon, following his long hiatus due to the mysterious Twitch ban.

[HTML1] Intense melee combat, a real sense of danger, and one-on-one combat: Ubisoft are no stranger to these concepts. Today, during the Ubisoft Press Conference, the publisher announced a brand new intellectual property called For Honor, which is being developed by none other than Ubisoft Montreal. Creative Director Jason VandenBerghe took to the stage to introduce the game with a debut trailer, live four-on-four multiplayer combat, and the revelation that For Honor will be released in 2016....

The current controllers used by the Xbox One and PS4 - despite all the improvements and features they possess - are still lacking when it comes to giving players the tools needed to fine tune the controller’s look, feel, and performance. In online multiplayer games, where responsive controls and accurate button presses are the difference between winning and losing, having a controller that “fits” the player perfectly is key. When it comes to games that require precision, the mouse and keyboard are often said to be the better option instead of a gamepad....

Fans of Mass Effect 3 were pretty excited when it was revealed they could finally have male Shepard do the deed with Garrus. However, some people weren’t too ecstatic about the option as EA has reportedly received many, many letters from homophobic individuals threatening to boycott their games. The good news? EA chose to defend itself. The publisher was sent thousands of letters and emails regarding the homosexual content in Mass Effect 3 and The Old Republic, the latter of which did not have same-sex relationships at launch....

While the Xbox Series X/S debuted this holiday to respectable success, hardware sales certainly haven’t been the moneymaker for Microsoft in 2020. Games themselves brought in significant revenue, but Microsoft continually focuses on its service approach with Xbox Game Pass. Microsoft’s gaming subscription service has increased to 500+ titles available right now, across Xbox, PC, and Android. Now, in 2021, Microsoft will likely be searching for and orchestrating new ways to expand the Xbox Game Pass offering even further....

A regulatory notice released to investor stated that 63 of Codemasters’ 76 shareholders voted in favor of the acquisition....

If you don’t already feel as if your webcam is watching you, then one designed to look and act like the human eye definitely will. We are all being watched pretty much all the time, or at least that’s how it feels. Some people hate that, while others aren’t all that bothered. The former might be staring at their webcams all day, wondering who might be listening in, while the others forget it is even there....

If you’re one of the many Elden Ring players who watched their previously overpowered build get nerfed by the game’s recent 1.03 and 1.04 updates, please know that I feel your pain. It’s never easy to watch your formerly unbeatable character suddenly become slightly better than worthless. The good news is that you’re never as far from the most powerful Elden Ring character builds as you might think you are. Indeed, the game’s impressive community has already discovered a few new builds that may not be as broken as the elaborate glitches that were previously capable of carrying you through Elden Ring‘s toughest encounters but are certainly strong enough to help you beat Margit....
