Want to see your own work appear on the front page?Go write something!–Mr Andy Dixon] For those of you who don’t know, a bear is what the gay community calls a man who is typically large, mature and hairy....

Every time a giant zombie horde appears inThe Walking Dead, my wife can’t help herself when quoting “every day I’m shamba-lin‘”, sometimes with zombie arm motions to boot. I’m a lucky man. But not everyone in the world can be so blessed, because despite my luck, said zombies won’t be shuffling on the sea floor over to the AU: the good ol’ Aussie classification laws have interfered with the console release of Telltale’sThe Walking Deadgame series....

Game developer andSup, HolmesguestZoe Quinnhas a new quiz game out, and it may be relevant to your interests. As someone who thinks that the concept of “gamer cred” is awful, and the idea that we have to separate the “hardcore” from the “casual” is some of the worst stuff going in videogame culture, my ears perked right up when I heard about the project. It’s effects on certain corners of the internet have been equally interesting, but I’ll leave you to discover them on your own....

Take a deep dive Everyone’s looking forward to Nintendo’s Switch presentation next week (it’s January 13 in Japan, late on January 12 in the US). It’s where we’re expected to learn the specifics, where the questions will finally be answered. It’s an important event, for sure. Here’s the thing, though. A lot of the Switch show will be able to be condensed into bullet points. “This is the price. This is the release date....

Give us an official one, you cowards So we’ve been talking a lot about a potentialSimpsons Hit and Runremaster this year. Despite the factthat the rights would apparently be a nightmare, multiple developers have spoken up recentlyabout wanting it to go forward. In the meantime,there’s this fan made remaster from designer reubs. So with this open world project, they started with theSimpsons Hit and Runremaster map. As reubs notes, he would need “100 people” to create the map, but since they only have “three friends” (one of which is their mom), they had to find a tool; which ended up being Lucas’ Pure 3D Editor, exporting “all 14 pieces of the map” into the remaster project....

[Update: No longer happy. The timing is waaaaaay off in some sections.] I’m good right now. Happy. Smiling. I love my Vita, but I could never fully give my heart to it as Sony as they royally f*cked up by not having PSOne classics playable at launch. It took them forever to get their act together, and we’re just now seeing the first titles come up as playable. Unfortunately, onlya handful of titlesare purchasable/downloadable right now, and one of my favorite games of all time,UmJammer Lammy, was not one of the available ones....

Not endorsed by the real Olympics, though When many of the world’s best athletes are in Rio de Janeiro for this summer’s Olympics, many of the world’s best eSports athletes will be there too. At this week’s London Games Festival, the eGames were announced — ostensibly an Olympics for video games. The plan is to hold the eGames in Olympic host cities while the Olympics are happening. So, this summer, the eGames will be in Rio de Janeiro; they’ll be inPyeongchang in 2018, and Tokyo in 2020....

Everywhere you look August is still summer and thus the sale train continues. EA titles were understandably missing-in-action during Steam’s Summer Sale back in June – so if you want historic low prices onTitanfall DeluxeorSimCity Complete, they’re both on sale duringGameStop’s PC Summer Salefor $4.99 and $7.50, respectively. The sale is running for a ludicrously long 5 week period, with new batch of stuff coming out every Monday. Earlier this Thursday, Sweden-based GamersGate fired up theirown salewith deals a plenty....

I’m for them, depending on the situation Are you ready for some remakes?Capcom is, as are a ton of other publishers. It feels like every other week there’s an announcement for a “remastered” or “definitive” editionof a recently released game, and at times, it can get a bit ridiculous. I’ve seen a lot of talk recently regarding this practice, and I figured it was time for a discussion. Personally,as I said earlier this morning, I’m for them as long as they’re based on good games....

They’re all good A fan came up with this alternate hairstyles for Zelda based on herBreath of the Wildcharacter model, and I have to say, most of them are pretty good. It really got me thinking about how far Nintendo could go with Zelda, and the discussion beforeBreathwas revealed about how Zelda could have been the protagonist, or that Link would be a woman this time around. Now that they know people love the true open setup and the idea of free roaming to whatever dungeon/shrine they want, I think the nextZeldawill use that same formula....
