How did we get here? This place is crawling with too many games. Smells like ozone. I never thought we'd be here for this long. We've survived shutdowns of games, the site shutdown, crowdfunding, commenters, personal crises, even that stupid hurricane. How many different ways can you get someone to sit in front of a computer for hours, weeks,...

"You are wrinkly manager man. It's your job to be old and die so we can learn and be sad. Also you pay for gas." I love The Secret World's Nassir so much. I declare that Funcom's next spin-off game needs to be a road trip with Nassir and Said getting into wacky situations and spouting off more terrific one-liners. Anyway,...

After a lengthy testing period, World of Warships has finally left port. That means that Wargaming.net has finally succeeded in getting all of the possible vehicle-based World War II vehicle games into a launch state, because World of Space Fighters is anachronistic and World of War Bicycles would attract very few players. Also, it means we bid farewell to...

"Although aging, the Avenger features a sturdy, reliable hull and the capacity for larger-than-expected engine mounts," CIG's announcement...

Class changes are coming to Star Wars: The Old Republic with the Knights of the Fallen Empire expansion.

All Powertechs and Vanguards get Jet Charge/Storm as a baseline ability in order to catch fleeing targets, while Mercs and Commandos get a new...

Bossa Studios has released a new trailer for sandbox-with-airships title Worlds Adrift. It's really short, because it's in fact a trailer for the full trailer that will be released this Monday at 10:00 a.m. EST. The teaser shows off plenty of floating islands, one of the aforementioned airships, and some grappling hook shenanigans that serve as both a mode...

I'm not a big fan of livestreaming. I get why it's popular: people gravitate to magnetic gaming personalities the same way they gravitate toward likable television talking heads.
