It’s just a lot of naked running Are you ready for this? Before you start, you’re going to want to get the feeling right. Maybe wear some cologne. Whatever you do, do not — I repeat,do not— turn on the TV. Okay, now it’s time to watch Blink-182’s “What’s My Age Again?” sans Mark, Tom, and Travis. Instead, it’s the Mike, Frank, and Trevor Show. That’s because the video is recreated inGrand Theft Auto V, which, for all intents and purposesactually is The Mike, Frank, and Trevor Show....

Should Microsoft ever get serious about getting MMOs on Xbox 360, there are a number of steps they’ll have to take first. In a discussion between CVG and Blizzard’sGreg Street and David Kosak, a few of those points were raised in addition to the process of doing a console version in general. “I think certainly that we would place really heavy demand on the technical structure of [Xbox LIVE] before it was something Blizzard would want to get into,” says Street....

Raids, Riders, and Raikou Are your nerves frayed from absorbing all this E3 news? Why not unwind with a spot of gambling on your phone? That’s at least one way to spin the prospects forFate/Grand Order‘s latest event. Titled “The Great Tale of Demons: Onigashima”, the event continues FGO’s recent wave of content based on Chinese and Japanese myths by adding a series of story missions and raid encounters patterned after Onigashima, the legendary island of demons in Japanese folklore....

Scholars of the First Spoiler Bandai Namco and From Software have released the opening cinematic ofDark Souls III. Be warned, though, as it obviouslycontainsmassive spoilersfor both the story and, presumably, at least some of the bosses. They’re very cool looking bosses, as you’d expect from aSoulsgame, but they’re also huge spoilers to some and I’m sure peoplewill get angry at me if I say much more. AfterDark SoulsandDark Souls IIfinally won me over last month after years of disliking them, I’m pretty excited for this one....

’30 minutes well spent’ There are murmurs abouta lil friendly crabinDark Soul IIIpotentially leading to some sort of secret. The idea is that if you manage to bring it to the right area, wherever the hell that might be, something cool will happen sort of like that one pig inDark Souls IIthat could dig you up a Pickaxe. Can it be? It’s far-fetched, for sure, but not outside the realm of possibility....

The Detroit Free Press has a (hilarious)storyabout Joel Zumaya, a pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. People all over the world know Detroit as a city fuelled by heavy industry,hard rockand gang violence, but apparently the Detroit Tigers are fuelled by other opiates; video games! Mr. Zumaya (or, Zoomie, as he’s known to only me) contracted a recurring inflammation of the right wrist and forearm that doctors originally assumed was caused either by furious masturbation, or that sport that he gets paid to play....

In aTwitter post, General Manager of Diablo Rod Fergusson indicated thatDiablo 4Season 2,Season of Blood, has so much new stuff that two deep dive streams are already planned to cover it all. No dates for the streams have been revealed as of now, but it’s a promising glimpse into the near future ofDiablo 4. Season 1, Season of the Malignant, has been pretty disappointing, to say the least. Sweeping nerfs hit the action RPG with the seasonal update, making the experience feel slower and less fun than the pre-season....

Get to writing, folks Wizards of the Coast has just implemented the new Dungeon Master’s Guildwebsite, where you may self-publish adventures, character classes, monsters, and whatever else you can dream up. When placing your content on the website, you can either decide to allow people to pay what they want (including the grand ol’ price of free) or set a price. The only current stipulation is that it has to be content for the Forgotten Realms setting in fifth edition, which I imagine will change whenever theD&Dteam officially moves on to the their next plans....
