You might quickly dispatch Pidgeys with your starter Pokemon, but Pidgeotto could bust out Wing Attack on your unsuspecting ass. Games are designed to get more challenging as you climb the difficulty curve, and that usually means introducing bigger, stronger enemies to test your skills. Dead Island 2does this, too....

Close your eyes. Oh wait, that doesn’t really work here. Okay, keep them open, but imagine a world in which Michael Scott is the commander ofMass Effect’s Normandy. Now stop imagining and watch the video below as someone incredibly talented has created a montage in which Commander Shepard has been replaced with Michael Scott. The video begins with the Dunder Mifflin manager being briefed by Captain Anderson. Scott awkwardly shuffles around but breaks his silence when Anderson feeds him the perfect line for a “that’s what she said” response....

Years before I came out as transgender, I remember trying on female clothing in games likeStardew Valleyand everything feeling right. While I couldn’t put my finger on exactly why, the small mess of pixels I’d created that walked around the screen with an adorable skirt and matching blouse was a loose representation of me, or at least the person I hadn’t quite acknowledged in my own head. Similar feelings surfaced when playingLife is Strange, with the mundane trials and tribulations of a college student mirroring my own, except from a different gender perspective and with far more time travel....

Quick Links For those who know this meme, stand proud. For those that don’t, leave an F in the chat, because you’re missing out.

Xbox has unveiled its latest controller, the Remix, and at first glance it looks like pretty standard fare. It’s got a weird combination of khaki faceplate and neon green triggers, and is that…? Yes, that’s faux-wood paneling on the back. It’s not meant to look like it’s actually hewn from the trunk of a great redwood, but there’s a definite grain. On the whole, it’s a little odd to look at, but when you’re able to design your own pad with any combination of colours, it’s actually one of the more subtle I’ve seen....

Jaws is regarded as the first summer blockbuster. Star Wars showed that movies could create dynasties. The Jazz Singer brought colour to life. Snow White brought animation to the big screen, which was then built upon by Mary Poppins, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Toy Story,and Into the Spider-Verse....

When writing a story, creating stakes for the characters is of the utmost importance. And for a fighting game, this means that, sooner or later, someone will die, raising the bar higher than ever before.

As I watched the season one finale of HBO’sThe Last of Us, I found myself surrounded by arguments. “It’s obviously CGI,” one of my friends snapped across the room. “No, it looks real,” someone else said. “It looks too weird to be real,” another said indignantly.
