Hawd dammit Bawbee! Dammit Hank. I keep forgetting I have to write these until the last second, and then I’m stumped. You’re out there, flying around on your winged anus llama. Drinking in the clouds with your eyes, while Mario Lopez serves you strawberry daiquiri’s off his abs into your mouth hole. Lucky son of a biscuit. Mmmmmm biscuits. I’d gut a baby for some Popeye’s right now. Who wants to play someTeam Fortress 2tonight though?...

Early in the life of the Nintendo 3DS, we saw a few original games from Nintendo 2nd party developers pop up in the eShop. Games likeSakura Samurai,Freakyforms: Your Creations, Alive!,Pushmo, andDillon’s Rolling Western. Of those,Pushmowas the most well received and has gone on to be a franchise of its own.Dillionsaw a sequel to its 2012 original, but it’s been quiet ever since. In fact, I thoughtThe Last Rangerwas the last we were ever going to see and hear of the rolling armadillo....
Say what you will aboutThe Old Republic. Say that it is an MMO done by a company that has never completed an MMO before. Say thatStar Warshas already proven to fail as an MMO. Hell, say that entering the already over-crowded MMO marketplace right now is utter insanity, especially withWorld of Warcrafttaking up both market- and mind-share. But listen to this: according to Daniel Erickson, the Lead Writer forThe Old Republic, there is going to be a distinctly BioWare feel to the game....
Even if you’re been MIA for a while Okay so it’s “New Pack Day,” but the header gets the point across much more concisely if you aren’t a regularHearthstoneplayer. Anyway, along with a cute little animated short, Blizzard is running a promotion today where if you log intoHearthstone,you get a free pack. A golden pack, to be exact, with cards that are…golden (foil, basically). No matter how you feel about the current meta or the latest card balancing act, it’s probably worth logging in (especially with how easy it is to do on mobile devices) and nabbing it for free....

The four Xbox 360Gearstitles for use on Xbox One via backward compatibility. Then there’s Zombie Dom. Just what in the heck is going on with Zombie Dom? “‘Zombie Dom’ proves there’s no keeping a good solider down, at least in the form of this character skin created as tribute to Marcus’ dearly departed best friend Dominic Santiago....

TheDelicious Last CourseDLC will eventually launch on “all platforms day one.” You can read ‘s PS4 releaseon the PlayStation Blog.] “Leak” might be an especially-fitting term when discussing a game about cups that are full of liquid. Or, maybe that’s overthinking it and we should just relish an incredible indie game finally arriving on its final major platform....

Asian regions will get the in-game store first When Blizzard said it was exploring potentiallyadding microtransactionstoWorld of Warcraftin “certain regions,” speculation quickly pointed to that being code for “Asia.” Good job, everyone who suggested that! After admitting that “we’re still pretty early in the exploration process,” the company has given more context for the in-game store. “We think everyone would appreciate the convenience of being able to make such purchases without having to leave the game, and ultimately that’s our long-term goal for the system, though there’s quite a bit of work involved in retrofitting those existing items into the new system,”wrote a Blizzard community manager....
Kerrigan gets some love too As a reminder, most MOBAs tend to release characters in rapid succession, especially when the game is in its infancy, but teams also eye old decaying choices that fall victim to power creep in the form of “reworks.” Blizzard has been stepping up their rework game in the past year by design as they approach 82 heroes, and Brightwing and Kerrigan are next. Brightwing is the clear highlight as she’s just been all-around buffed, with baseline heals inserted into her kit as well as an upgrade for her level 20 blink ability that grants stealth (!...
