Have you noticed that games seem to go on and on and on forever? Like, literally forever. I remember back in the day when games used to end and stories had complete narrative arcs. Don't get me wrong, I love an open world, but I'm starting to feel like all the biggest game publishers are fully embracing this new era of the endless game. “Why make a brand new game when gamers can just play Call of Duty until the end of time?” This seems to be the modus operandi of publishers like Activision. Are…

Real rib ticklers

There hasn't been a new Elder Scrolls game since Skyrim was first released in 2011, which has forced fans to keep the game interesting by coming up with their own wacky mods and side quests. Just recently, one madlad called u/Morlino on Reddit posted some gameplay footage to r/Skyrim in which the player shows off their collection of every single Dragon Priest mask in Skyrim. According to the redditor, the undertaking took 92 hours to complete because they never once used fast travel. Anyone who…

What's up gamers? Not much gaming news to report, other than the recent release of Stray, the new post-apocalyptic adventure game that's already breaking player count records on Steam. Oh, did I mention you play the game as an adorable little kitty cat? And for an indie game, the graphics are strikingly impressive. It's no wonder Stray is already breaking the internet. I haven't played the game yet, but I'm pretty excited to prowl around a dystopian cyberpunk city, solving puzzles and doing nor…

The highly anticipated cyberpunk cat game has launched and—surprise, surprise—the internet is obsessed. It's only been a week since the release of Stray and fans are already memeing and modding the game like crazy. While most normal people are using mods to make their character look more like their own IRL cat, the deviants and trolls of gaming are creating some pretty cursed mods, including one that allows you to play the game as a hideously cat-shaped CJ from GTA: San Andreas, and another tha…

FromSoftware's wildly popular action RPG Elden Ring has been out for several months. The post-traumatic Elden Ring stress might have worn off by now, so we thought we might round up another batch of funny and relatable memes to remind the fans just how much they miss dying hundreds of times in a row until the wee hours of the morning. Maybe these memes will even inspire you to start up a new game with a totally different build this time around. Enter, tarnished. Traverse the mist for memes.

Fallout: New Vegas was released over a decade ago, and yet fans of the iconic game still keep their copies around for a rainy day—it's just that solid. Is Fallout: New Vegas the best game in the series? This question has been up for debate for quite a while. While Fallout 4 is the more popular game today and still shows up on Steam's top 100 by player count list, there's something special about New Vegas that makes it the undoubtable fan favorite. Maybe it's because the lore feels so much deepe…

What is a meme , really? Memes used to be a particular series of image macros that took over internet culture during the 2000s. These days, however, a meme is a much broader way of categorizing online content. Does a meme have to be made up of pictures and text? Must it be something that can be replicated in different forms, like how Bad Luck Brian was a consistent image with different white text every time? Does a meme belong to everyone or the person who created it? Is there any ethical way t…

Searching for dank gaming memes to share with your internet friends? Lucky for you, it's that time of the week again. The best gaming memes of the week are upon us. We've rounded up a bunch of timeless and relatable gaming memes mixed with fresh and relevant video game content from some of our favorite sources.

There are few games out there with the memetic shitposting power of gems like Ace Attorney . And if you're blindly jumping into this, wondering what the hell an “Ace Attorney” is, then you're probably not going to find this post very funny. But I'll lay down a bit of context anyway. Ace Attorney is a video game series first developed by Capcom in 2001. In the first game, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, the player must investigate legal cases and defend clients in court while assuming the roles of…

There's been some interesting gaming world news lately. Rockstar Games announced that they plan to shelve its remasters of Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto IV in favor of the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI. Hopefully this means we'll get to finally play GTA 6 this century. 

I need to confess something to y'all: I'm not really a gamer. I mean, I am, in a sense, but I prefer the realm of board games. And board games you can buy on Steam, like Wingspan. This is thanks to the fact that I was forbidden from playing any video games as a kid, and I haven't let my parents hear the end of my profound resentment. That resentment skyrocketed when my younger brother was gifted an Xbox after I had already moved from the house. He and most of my male friends would regale me wit…

It's time for the best gaming memes of the week. We've collected a bunch of relatable content for every kind of gamer . Whether you're a PC gal, PlayStation guy, or someone who still plays with their handheld console from 1988, these memes are for you. So put down that controller, touch grass, make yourself a little snack, and enjoy some dank gaming memes.

Video games can be notoriously unhelpful—it's almost like an inside joke among video game creators who like to do a little trolling in the loading screen. Sometimes the advice is embedded in the game dialogue itself, like when Para-Medic says “when you get shot, you'll sometimes offer a gunshot wound” in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. It's not all bad and unhelpful, though. Twitter account @VGAdvisor is an excellent repository of video game wisdom and advice, mostly from older video games tha…

Welcome back, gamers . If you're here, then there's a good chance you've gained some rare free time for a well-deserved gaming session but that game you've been thinking about all week picked the exact wrong time to undergo an excruciatingly long update. Or maybe you've just finished up a 6-hour losing streak and you just don't have it in you to type “GG” in the chat again. Then again, maybe you're simply in the mood for some dank gaming memes. Whatever the reason, we've got just the selection…

It's easy to become immersed in video games - look at the success of Elden Ring and the time its devoted enthusiasts spend trying to beat the damn thing. Despite all the hours poured into them, video games are obviously not real life. And that's a good thing, too – if they were, I suspect a fair few of us would be guilty of crimes against humanity and tried in the Hague. Think of how full the prisons would be, and how stupid everyone on the street would look. Bad hair. Weirdly boob-enhancing ar…
