‘Don’t get too comfortable boys, we’re coming’ It was at 3am, Jul 24, 2025, and I had just downed about six beers.

Each match got me closer and closer to happiness....

It will be published by the Chinese digital entertainment company FUZE Entertainment, and Red Ash is now coming to PS4 and Xbox One — it’s a done deal, and the eight-hour base project will be developed. Other stretch goals are “coming soon.” I don’t really know what to say about this....

So desu ne It’s been a minute since I’ve thought aboutFallout 4. Amid all of the death threats I got when I gave it a respectable 7.5 before anyone else actually played it, I enjoyed the sweet sounds of “actually, that sounds about right” after it came out. It’s noNew Vegas,but then again, what is? I’m definitely considering booting it up again though after witnessing this ridiculous mod, which came across my desk compliments of our own Deadmoon....

One Afternoon Live for us Americans During a normal year, we’d all be crammed together in Cologne, Germany fighting the humidity, crowds, and heat stroke. Let me be the first to make this poignant observation: This is no normal year. In 2019, Geoff Keighley gave gamescom a livestream show to call its own, debuting One Night Live as the place where gamescom news gets announced. It went pretty well! Now, it’s back for this all-digital edition of gamescom....

All aboard the ghost train Bandai Namco has earned enough goodwill withPac-Man Championship Editionand its follow-ups that I was wholeheartedly down for the sequel coming into theannouncement trailer. What a game! For the sequel, the ghost trains are back alongside bosses, new modes, and I couldn’t even tell you what else is going on in that footage. It’s chaos! But I trust that it’ll feel really good. Pac-Man Championship Edition 2is releasing in just over a month — on September 13 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One — and it will cost $12....

Podtoid hits the Destructoid frontpage every Thursday! On this week’s mournful Podtoid, the fate ofAliens: Colonial Marinesis lamented and there’s only one person to blame — Jonathan Holmes, who shirked his duty and let Uncle Ben die.

Elsewhere, we talk about videogame success and whether we need a new generation, but just totally went off onColonial Marinesa lot....
