In honor of Enter the Wu-Tang’s 25th anniversary, we ran these 25 characters through the Wu-Tang name generator

As compiled by me, Vizual Pupil If you ask an old, white person if rap music is real music, they’ll probably say no. They’ll probably say something like, “What rap did that was impressive was to show there are so many tone-deaf people out there,” which is what Rolling Stones guitarist and human ShamWow for drugs Keith Richards said just a few years ago. But as Destructoid’s preeminent rap aficionado — I own three Macklemore albums — I say that shit is whack (Is it still cool to say “whack” in 2018?...

Mortal Kombat 1 fans notice Steam pop-up in Switch version’s launch trailer

Fans aren’t happy with theMortal Kombat 1launch trailer for Nintendo Switch, and I don’t blame them. At around the1:53 mark in the video, a Steam achievement is clearly visible in the bottom right corner. It’s not unusual for trailers to feature footage from the PC version of their game, however, it’s a bit disingenuous in this case. There technically is a “Footage Not Final” message but I think there’s a difference between not final, and simply footage from a different version altogether....
