Games of the week for 09/13/09: Free Love Freeway edition

This week’s video is my favorite clip fromThe Office(it’s not called “The UK Office,” it’s calledThe Officebecause it’s the proper one). It may very well be my favorite clip of all comedy in the history of everything. It is rather awesome indeed. I must say though that I’ve become somewhat addicted toThe US Office(and that’s what it’s definitely called). When I was super sick last weekend I just sat and watched over four hours straight of it....

Here are some comparison shots for the Smash Bros. and Mario Party amiibo lines

They’re taller but less detailed I currently have access to all of theMario Party 10amiibo, which are arriving later this month, separately from the existingSuper Smash Bros.line. To be clear, the new figures themselves are actually identical in terms of functionality, so you don’t need this specific wave to access the amiibo-centric modes. It should be noted though that you’re able to’t save two different files at once (you’ll have to choose betweenSmashorPartyfor each figure), and Toad, who works withCaptain Toad: Teasure Tracker, is exclusive to this line....

Here’s a first look at the Disgaea remake, Disgaea Refine

For PS4 and Switch NIS has revealed the look forDisgaea Refine, its upcoming remaster of the originalDisgaea, set for PS4 and Switch later this year. You can get a quick comparison shot below between the two visual styles (old and new), and I have to say it looks like a nice little upgrade. NIS explains that they tried to get the look as close toDisgaea 5as possible. Other than that it’s basically the same exact game, offering up ridiculous amounts of stuff to do as you attempt to level your party up to 9,999 and reincarnate them for higher bonuses....

How to defeat the Hyena Pack in Warframe

The Hyena Pack are bosses that you’ll encounter during the Psamathe mission on Neptune. They aren’t the toughest foes inWarframe, but their pack tactics will definitely keep you on your toes. There are a couple of things that make the Hyena pack stand out from other encounters inWarframe. They don’t have a dedicated arena – instead, they just load into a regular room on the tileset. It plays to their advantage as the room is full of nooks and crannies that the Hyenas can hide in....

Did you know that pumpkins aren’t a real thing? I’m not saying you’re imagining them, but they’re really just a very specific type of maturity of a Winter Squash.

Anyway, you’re not here for pumpkin facts. Not that kind, anyway. You’re here because you want to know how to get them inCult of the Lamb....
