I’m not sure why this video happened, but it has. He’s either faking, seriously disturbed, a massive PS3 fanboy or actually a werewolf. None of those reasons excuse destroying a perfectly good 360. Also, Josh is kind of a douche, but a little funny as well. Sometimes I just don’t understand the internet. Ifthis guywas really a teen werewolf he’d be wearing a letter jacket and playing basketball. He’d also get l33t gaming skills from his wolf-like reflexes and thus would love his 360....

Season 1 still available for free From the beginning,Extrasolarwas planned to span three seasons. While the first season is free, players can pay a one-time fee to upgrade to their rovers, or a larger fee for a greater upgrade and access to the second and third seasons when they release. Despite this, the team is looking for more funding, so it has turned toKickstarter. Current Pioneer tier players ought not worry; those who have already paid for future content will still gain access to Season 2 and Season 3 when they become available....

If you’ve ever played an MMO it’s highly probable that spammers advertising various websites that specialize in converting real currencies into virtual ones have assaulted your text window on at least on one occasion. Although this practice is rather widespread, a recent report by Manchester University shows that it’sfar larger and more profitablethan many of us probably realized. “I initially became aware of gold farming through my own games-playing but assumed it was just a cottage industry,” said research group head Professor Richard Heeks....

Helldivers 2fans are getting daily updates about buffs coming to the game in its 60-day update. However, no matter how positive these buffs might seem on the surface, most fans can’t let their guard down as they’re worried about the sneaky, hidden nerfs that might be in the same update. Leading up to the release of the 60-day update forHelldivers 2, so called because it comes 60 days after theEscalation of Freedom updatethat nerfed the game into a state players weren’t happy with, developer Arrowhead Game Studios issharing one of the update’s buffs every day....

‘[Her Story] was a game where you explored video in the way you might explore an alien planet in Metroid’ As games have evolved, artists have used them to tell stories in ways we could have never imagined, 20, or even 10 years ago. One of those trailblazers, Sam Barlow, managed to reinvigorate the FMV genre withHer Storyin 2015, which he followed up with the equally impressiveTelling Liesjust last week....

Pre-alpha footage 3D Realms has uploaded a 20-minute video for its upcoming first-person shooterWrath: Aeon of Ruin. Based on thedemo I played at PAX East, this walkthrough should show you exactly what I meant when I saidWrathfeels more likeHexenandTurokthanQuake. It’s great to have a completely different kind of shooter than just wall-to-wall violence. The one thing I notice here is that the sound effects are a little dull (something I couldn’t quite tell while in the middle of the Boston Convention Center full of 100,000 people)....

Stardew Valleyfeatures a lot of consumables which can either be made or purchased. One of these, Pale Ale, has a rather funny side effect when consumed and while it’s not difficult to make, there are some steps that need to be followed. If you don’t want to make your own Pale Ale, and you’ve unlocked the Ginger Island Resort, you’re able to purchase it there for 1,000 Gold. This is a slightly easier, less time-consuming, though more expensive option if you really just want to get tipsy (Note: being tipsy reduces movement speed)....

One of the most important resources fromAgainst the Stormis Parts. They’re used for quite a few buildings, most notably all your camps. However, parts are also quite rare, and it’s not immediately obvious how you get more. There are a few ways to get Parts, but you should first understand that they cannot be simply harvested. Keep that in mind before you spend them all, and you need some to build an important building, you’re going to need to tear down one that is less important at that moment....

It was Super Effective… I’ve previously written about my love of the design and architecture podcast 99% Invisible here when it pertains to gaming. Last time, it was when they signal-boosted aSmithsonian podcast for an episode about the ET landfill, but this week it was much more destructive, at least in a societal way. At the tail end of their episode about maps and how they are made and used, there was a story about howPokemon Go– a game that uses interactive maps (just go with it) – caused such an influx of players into a small art town in Virginia that it has permanently upset the economy there....
