Soccer became one of the biggest sources of joy in my life, and I owe it all to FIFA. As Giant Bomb’s Jeff Gerstmann put it when discussing clicker games, playing FIFA would “fill my heart with the darkness and make the numbers keep going up.” In the past I would have moved onto other games, but the reward structure of FIFA kept me playing. I quit playing FIFA 18 exactly 150 days after it was released. Literally anything I could be doing would be more productive and healthy than playing FIFA. Wa

I miss neopets — christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) April 19, 2018I was a comment board moderator. I’ve basically been told to barely move and let my baby grow so fuck it, I’m going back on neopets — christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) April 19, 2018oh my god neopets has not changed a bit. It’s an understandable feeling, and eerily similar to my own reaction when I returned to Habbo Hotel a few months ago. It’s almost like Neopets and Habbo Hotel remained static; encased in a museum exhibit showcas

Deadpool 2’s so-called final trailer has everything fans could want: Confirmation of a few new X-Men characters, plenty of Cable and Deadpool cross chatter and, of course, a dig at Warner Bros. slate of DC Comics movie adaptations. “You’re no fuckin’ hero,” Josh Brolin’s Cable growls at our anti-hero, “You’re just a clown dressed up as a sex toy.”“So dark!” Deadpool replies, “You’re sure you’re not from the DC Universe?”Zing, indeed. But when it’s not taking potshots and the bigger franchises it

We’re in the final week of pre-release marketing before Avengers: Infinity War hits theaters, and that means film footage galore. The scene pits Captain America and Black Widow against a couple Black Order members — the elite group of followers handpicked by Thanos to help take out the Avengers. It’s one of the best looks we’ve received of the Black Order in action. It’s difficult to tell where the scene takes place, but considering we last saw Captain America and Black Widow heading off to Waka

Map selection will come to PUBG’s PC test server soon — PUBG Corp. said “Work on the feature is almost complete” — and roll out to the live game shortly after. PUBG Corp. said it was careful about adding the option due to concerns about impacts to matchmaking. “We wanted to make sure that we could create a solution that worked for every region’s players, even the ones with a naturally low server population.”You can see PUBG’s map selection option interface in the screenshot above.

As for Save the World, the main draw in this patch will be the new Encore missions as well as a neon skin for the LMG. For Battle Royale players, the most important and noticeable change is that you can once again easily shoot over the top of structures, thanks to a fix for the “dick bullets” bug that was introduced with patch 3.5. This patch’s only big addition to the PvE Save the World game mode is a couple of new missions that are part of the Into the Storm: Encore campaign. These missions wi

Overwatch’s current limited-time event, Retribution, adds a bunch of new AI-controlled enemies, like the Assassin, Sniper and Heavy Assault. The clips we’ve seen so far on Twitch and YouTube via Reddit appear to all be from the Korean version of Overwatch, but whatever glitch or hack is responsible for this wizardry isn’t limited to just Retribution. Players have joined games as Uprising’s Null Sector bots and Junkrat’s RIP Tire — sans Junkrat — as well. It’s not clear how widespread this is or

In Bungie’s weekly update, Destiny 2 senior designer Daniel Auchenpaugh talked about how the power level grind will be changing in Warmind, Destiny 2’s second expansion. In short, it’s going to be a lot harder to max our your Guardian’s power level come May. Auchenpaugh said that Destiny 2’s public events won’t be nearly as lucrative as they have been, and that clan engrams won’t help players progress on their own.
