Worms come to f*ck sh*t up on the Nintendo Switch with Worms W.M.D.!

Posted 9 years ago

Oh man I love WORMS! I played this shit with my brothers on Genesis, and then every incarnation since then! My favorite thing was to name all the worms my friend's names and seeing who could survive the longest. I...

Oculus VR game Marvel Power United lets you rampage as the Hulk!

Posted 9 years ago

For the first time ever, it seems like VR will actually finally be a thing. Companies have tried many times to make VR mainstream – most disastrously with Nintendo's Virtua-Boy – but the gimmick never stuck. But having experienced VR first hand, they've...

So this is a bit unexpected. Apparently the Babadook (from the film THE BABADOOK) – that creepy ghoulie with the stove top hat, black cloak, and perpetually bug-eyed and creepy smiling face – is now a legitimate LGBT icon! Which…okay....
