It’s your last chance to claim PUBG’s lump sum of apology XP

400 XP just for launching the game PUBGis nearly done test-driving its new form of monetization.

New levels come with rewards to claim like cosmetic items or free username changes.

I’m nostalgic for Pokemon games I never played

Discovering an all-time great as an adult:Leaf Green [Featured Image Source:Thibault Miniou on ArtStation] If you’ve read any of my features in the past, you’re probably well aware that I didn’t seriously get into games until I was in college. I had some consoles when I was younger, like a PS2, a Game Boy Advance SP, a Nintendo DS, and a Wii, but pretty much all of the games I played were “girly” horse-related,Barbie, or licensed Disney Channel spin-off games....

I hope 3D printers are eventually free Man, it feels like every day I’m pining for a 3D printer. I know, I know, they’re “cheap” now! Except cheap is relative when you’re spending your cash on other hobbies already. Reddit user cryptid007, among many others over the past few years, is temping me again though with their Hyrule Castle creation. It’s a 3D-printed rendition of the fortress fromZelda: Breath of the Wildand it looks glorious — as in, I want to shrink down to Rick Moranis size and explore it....

Legendary missing Mega Man 4 mini-boss footage surfaces

From its best level, Pharaoh Man Uncovering oldMega Mantrivia is one of my favorite pastimes. There was once an era where Capcom was immensely proud of the series, showing it off at every turn at tradeshows and myriad magazine spreads. I’ll never forget sending in my own “Magic Man” Robot Master design (which eventually became a thing!) for one of their many contests. One such mystery involves a missingMega Man 4mini-boss that appears near the start ofPharaoh Man’s stage, which was first unveiled in an issue of EGM in 1991....

Pretend you’re Spider-Man with this free VR experience

Bungee cord and a rubber band! I think its safe to say that most of us wanted to beSpider-Manin our high school years. The whole charm of the character is overcoming extreme odds to prove yourself to the world; its an allegory for puberty and the radical changes that happen to your body. That being said, we used to get actual goodSpider-Mangames, so a lot of us had our fix for web slinging and wall crawling years ago....

The best weapons to dominate Elden Ring

Shatter your enemies just like they shattered the Elden Ring There are many ways to go about becoming the Elden Lord,but some weapons will make the quest easierandmake you look cooler while doing it than others. There’s no such thing as a truly awful weapon in this game. Pretty much any build and playstyle can conduct you to victory — evenElon Musk’s comically and cosmically dumb build— perhaps.

This delicious Kirby car cake is sweet in every sense

Get your tastebuds in gear Here’s some wholesomeness to get Wednesday off to a flavorful start. There’s no denying that one of the most notable marketing features of smash hitKirby and the Forgotten Landwas the very fun/very silly “Kirby Car” — a small, rusted, two-door sedan that gets a new lease of life after being semi-swallowed by our favorite pink puffball. Beep! Beep! Almost immediately after the cute car debuted in trailers, it quickly and understandably became a beloved subject for fan artists and meme-makers everywhere....
