I wasn’t expecting to delve deep into the video game industry’s sexcapades. Not until I came across the spicySimsmod, WickedWhims, and thought, “It is sort of odd they refer to it as’Woohoo!'“You would think a life simulator would address sex a tad more frankly.

Unsurprisingly, Dale “LowTierGod” Wilson has once again been banned onTwitch. The streamer and influencer known for his toxic masculinity, eccentric behavior, and rage-quitting from losing matches, has a long history of violating the terms of service for various streaming platforms, resulting in both temporary and permanent bans. According to LowTierGod himself, the current Twitch ban is not permanent, and resulted from an attempt “to motivate people.” The streamer often goes on fiery rants (or inspirational speeches, depending on your point of view) with questionable suggestions for his viewers....
March of the Machine introduced a card type toMagic: The Gathering. As fortune would have it, many of the double-faced battle cards transform into enchantments. This makes the enchantments from March of the Machine more difficult to analyze properly as they are stapled onto a different card type.

Resident Evil 4 Remake’s launch might still be eleven days away, but its demo is now available.
