I know everyone and their mom is playing Elden Ring right now, but there are lots of other 2022 releases to look forward to. Kirby and the Forgotten Land and its highly anticipated “mouthful mode” comes out this month. Fantasy action-RPG Forspoken comes out in May. Bethesda's Starfield (dubbed “ Skyrim in space") comes out in November. And we all know that with each big hit comes a wealth of new gaming memes. Whether you're in between bosses in Elden Ring and need a break, or you're waiting for…

Four years ago, redditor and D&D gamer u/Doomdecahedron shared a tragic tale about a Brass Dragon named Barnaby. "He was like a puppy," said u/Doomdecahedron, "He gave us shade from the desert sun with his wings and wanted to hear all about our adventures. When we tried to leave, he got real sad and told us to keep talking with him." One day, their bard charmed Barnaby so that he would gather goods to throw the PCs a party when they planned to return four moons from the time they left, which Ba…

Anyone who writes off video games because they supposedly turn kids into violent criminals probably never played Minecraft with their friends in the middle of the pandemic. While the haters were twiddling their thumbs or melting their brains from reading Twitter all day, gamers were lovingly tending to their Minecraft farms and building complex underground cities with online friends. Sure, there are a lot of video games out there that contain mature content, but do you write off the rich narrat…

Though some purists might disagree, there's really no right or wrong way to get a campaign started. Whether you're an experienced Dungeon Master who painstakingly builds narratives from scratch, or you're new to the game and want to learn through pre-written adventures, any kind of campaign has the potential to be rewarding and memorable. It's all about how the game is played. A DM can methodically put everything perfectly in place and still watch the game unfold in very unexpected ways. One mi…

There's been a lot going on in the gaming world lately. Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard for about $70 billion. Sony is buying Bungie (perhaps to keep the Halo creator out of the hands of Microsoft). And of course, a bunch of new games are coming out, like Kirby and the Forgotten Land with its highly-anticipated “ mouthful mode .” But without gamers, the gaming industry wouldn't exist, and that's why we've put together this humble batch of dank gaming memes to honor the geeks. No unlockin…

Welcome back, paladins and rogues. It's D&D day. We've got all the dankest Dungeons & Dragons memes you'll want to share with the PCs before your next meetup. This week, we asked experienced DM Gnarly Rot to talk about his experience playing the game over the years.

People with very little imagination assume games like Dungeons & Dragons are a snooze, but what they don't know is that an exemplary game of D&D can be a thrilling and action-packed experience. All you need is a group of creative minds. A dungeon master's dice roll (followed by a dramatic moment of silence) can be the most intense juncture in the game, depending on what the DM is cooking. The most mundane actions have the potential to spiral into absolute chaos and mayhem, which injects tension…

On Wednesday, Nintendo announced a number of new additions to Switch and exciting coming releases, including Mario Strikers: Battle League, Splatoon 3, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land . But out of all the demos and announcements, Kirby clearly stole the show. Nintendo's trailer for Forgotten Land begins with a slick-looking Kirby waddling through a vaguely post-apocalyptic landscape and attempting to swallow an abandoned car, thus becoming “Carby.” While Kirby has always had the ability to inh…
