Inside and Limbo developer Playdead is teaming up with iam8bit and RealDoll — yes, the company that makes life-size sex dolls and other sex toys — for a collector’s edition that’s full of mystery.

The Oregon Trail, the classic educational game first published in 1974, is now available as a handheld. But The Oregon Trail might be highest quality of them all.

He cut his teeth creating art and graphics for pillars of the genre, including Nihon Falcom’s Dragon Slayer franchise and Square’s 16-bit Final Fantasy and SaGa games. It eschewed the pre-rendered, computer-graphic movie sequences that Final Fantasy 7 had made the industry standard, beginning instead with an old-fashioned anime mini-movie. Final Fantasy 6 had nothing to do with Final Fantasy 7, just as SaGa Frontier and SaGa Frontier 2 shared no meaningful connections. For various reasons, Squar

To understand the socio-political effect YouTube has on the world in 2018, you first have to ask: What is YouTube? “The Alex Jones channel with billions of views is frozen,” he tweeted. Part of the YouTube Purge accusations stem from Jones’ claim that YouTube was trying to kick him off the platform. InfoWars got another strike on their YouTube account for a Florida shooting video, now one strike left before they get banned. How does the YouTube strike system work?

And before you sound off in the comments, remember that it’s a dictionary’s job to serve as a record and resource for how English words are currently used — not to prescribe how they should be used. But you may be wondering what “embiggen” has to do with comic books.

Artist Mark Buckingham (Fables, Sandman) will adapt four of Neil Gaiman’s most unsettling short stories into a single graphic novel anthology, Likely Stories. “This will be quite a different experience to people’s previous encounters with these tales,” said Buckingham. “I love the fantastical and the strange,” Buckingham told Polygon, “especially those unsettling things that lurk in the periphery of your vision.
