Pokémon Gold & Silver introduced Baby Pokémon to the series. This might have been Game Freak’s worst ever idea. Baby Pokémon have terrible stats and are usually a pain to evolve. This is topped off by the fact that Pichu might be the worst Super Smash Bros. character of all time. Here are all of the cursed Baby Pokémon that were introduced in different generations. 16 Hitomanchan/Hitmonlee > Tyrogue You could evolve a Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee, or a Hitmontop from a Tyrogue in Pokémon Gold & Silver....

When Bethesda announced that they would be releasing a limited edition of Fallout 4 with a faithful, working replica of the series’ iconic Pip-Boy, fans scrambled to pre-order one. Unfortunately, given the Pip-Boy edition’s limited nature, some fans were left without a pre-order to call their own. Bethesda has repeatedly stated that they cannot and will not produce more Pip-Boy editions for Fallout 4, which has led to some fans creating their own Pip-Boys....

After Bethesda’s announcement a few weeks prior to E3 2018, Fallout 76 has been an enigma for fans who were trying to figure out what the game actually was. Naturally, the game commanded a large part of Bethesda’s E3 press conference and finally confirmed that it’s going to be the first Fallout game to embrace multiplayer in an always online world. To help spice up the world, Bethesda also revealed that players can take over nuclear missiles scattered all around the massive map....

Video games are a passion for many, and communities form when people get together online or in-person to share their passion. Sometimes those communities can share more than just their love of play, and hearts can open up and go much deeper. Players can end up sharing pieces of their real lives too, like stories of lost loved ones, such as five-year-old Sarah who tragically died of brain cancer, but was immortalized in MechWarrior Online....

Inspired by the latest Justice League trailer, a fan-created two-minute video imagines a universe where Zack Snyder directed The Avengers. The clip mimics the DCEU filmmaker’s style while incorporating footage from Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame. Snyder developed a passionate fan base following his 2006 fantasy war-film 300 and 2009’s Watchmen. The director then teamed up with Warner Bros. to kick-start the DCEU. He made Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and notably walked away from Justice League mid-production to be with his family....

Minecraft’s 1.17 update won’t be released until this summer, but hasn’t stopped the developers from teasing some of the things we can expect to see when it finally releases. One of those developers, known as Kingbdogz, recently teased a terrifying new sound for the update. The 1.17 update is called Caves and Cliffs, and is focused on improving, well, caves primarily (but might also bring dramatic new mountains.) Other developers have teased that there will be “tons” of new caves to explore with the new update....

This article contains Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness spoilers. If Patrick Stewart got a quarter for every time his Charles Xavier died onscreen… well, he’d have a dollar at this point. Which is not a lot, but it still feels substantial after Chuck was gleefully introduced in Sam Raimi’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness only to then be gleefully shepherded off this mortal coil in a highly Raimi fashion....

Sebastian Vael is an interesting character in the Dragon Age games. He’s not a “full” companion, having been added to the game via DLC, yet his impact on DA2’s ending is a surprisingly large one. His character can take multiple paths in Dragon Age 2, and depending on which path Hawke steers him down, he’ll play a drastically different role in the grand scheme of things come the sequel, Dragon Age: Inquisition....

Remember YibbityFlibbity? He’s the Redditor that beat Beerus in 45 seconds with 1 HP. Well, he’s outdone himself now, as he has defeated Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot’s most difficult boss, level 250 Beerus, while blindfolded. The entire battle is documented in the video below. Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot’s first DLC adds Beerus, the God of Destruction, to the game as a boss fight. Beerus is without question the most difficult challenge players can face in the game, both because of his insanely high level, damage, and health, and also because of his seemingly random fighting style and unique techniques....

In the 5th edition of Dungeons & Dragons, subclasses let players add some flair and personality to the standard classes.

However, there are certain things to consider when homebrewing subclasses for different classes. Here are some tips for making a Sorcerous Origin, either for personal use or publication....

DwarfHeim, a fantasy real-time strategy game, is unique in its concept among its peers. Traditionally thought of and actualized as a single player experience, this genre of game typically has a player scrambling for resources, engaging hordes of enemies and making quick meaningful decisions, alone. This game however, wants players to experience this as a team, and at no extra charge to two out of a possible 3 players, as the developers announced on Twitter....

It’s been a dark few years for Star Wars fans. First, BioWare’s promising MMORPG The Old Republic failed to live up to gamers’ (admittedly high) expectations. Next, renowned but creatively floundering development studio LucasArts was closed after Disney’s acquired the Star Wars franchise. With the bitter taste of the prequels still lingering in fans’ mouths, it almost seemed like Star Wars had, at long last, finally overstayed it’s welcome. But from the ashes, a new hope rises....

When Electronic Arts first announced its plans to stagger the Star Wars: The Old Republic launch based on date of pre-order many gamers wondered if supplies would be extremely limited upon the game’s official release. As it turns out, Electronic Arts is employing a very “ambitious” rollout plan, one that should see every gamer who has been looking forward to this highly anticipated game getting their copy on day and date of release....
