Ready Player One imagines a virtual world that upholds real standards, but VRChat proves that’s not the case.

This is a friendly reminder that Toys R Us customers holding gift cards with a balance on them have a limited time to use them: April 21, to be exact, which is two weeks from Saturday. This PSA is coming up because, for some reason, Bed, Bath & Beyond mentioned it would accept Toys R Us gift cards for store credit, in case you wanted to cash out in votive candles and a margarita dispenser. So Toys R Us’ looming shutdown may have something to do with the urgent deadline there. (The store credit w

We all love the Mii Channel music. But never before have we seen it become the subject of its own dance challenge — until now, courtesy of the slowly trending #WiiChallenge. Kida tempts people to participate by arguing that “you can dance to anything” — as if the Mii Channel music hasn’t already proved itself to be jam music time and again.
