Podtoid’s Peak I recently realized that I know next to nothing about volcanoes. All my Volcano Knowledge is based on pop culture, certainly the sexiest possible take on volcanoes. I’m not sure the portrayal is accurate, though. Can I walk up to an active volcano — probably under the guise that I’m just going to throw my magic ring in — and push my best friend to his fiery doom? Can we peer cautiously over the edge together as I say “It’d be a shame if one of us slipped, huh?...

Quite Operational from Ubiktune Ubiktuneisatitagain, this time with a new artist named Monomer who’s debut album,Quite Operational, combines ’80s-tinged electronic music with 8-bit accents. While I’d normally pass on something that so heavily emphasizes the electronic side of the equation, the retro tastiness and bassiness of the ’80s synth work matches perfectly with the 8-bit elements. you may stream it for free or pick it up for $5 onBandcampviaUbiktune. I can’t really pick favorites because it’s all good, but I’m curious to hear what you think of it and of hybrids between popular music styles and chiptunes that we’re seeing more and more lately....

Duck and cover! Call of Duty: Infinite Warfareisn’t even a day old and the shots are already being fired. The officialTitanfallTwitter sent out a snarky tweet in the direction of Activision’s shooter by quoting IGN’s review-in-progress forIW. I feel the language backfires on EA, but I’ll let you decide. One is “mostly slow & plodding” while the other’s “frantic precision is electrifying”– you decide:https://t.co/QkynZOXgpn#MakeTheRightCallpic.twitter.com/aAHWbrZQ2y — Titanfall (@Titanfallgame)July 23, 2025 I understand this is supposed to be in “good fun,” but I’m always turned off by big studiospretending to appealto their audience....

I’d mod a lot more summons than this TheElden Ringspirit ashes summon system is fantastic, and now you can add another one to the pile with a Let Me Solo Her mod. As a reminder, “Let Me Solo Her” is a player who recently went down inElden Ringhistory for helping players with one of the toughest optional bosses in the game,which you’re able to read about in full spoilery fashion here....

It’ll cost $30, and will allow users to earn all initial DLC in one go (Bethesda notes it will be “allFalloutDLC ever” but passes have promised that before), with the first drop scheduled for early 2016.

Of course, we haveno ideawhat’s in this Season Pass yet, sodo not buy ituntil someone you trust covers it....

SCREEEECH! Just getting over the PTSD of your last visit to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza? Well too damn bad, because it’s time to get spooked again. Normally I’d roll my eyes at the idea of a sequel being announced barely three months since the release of the original, but in this case I don’t mind a bit. I have an irrational love for those animatronic monsters and can’t wait to be horribly mutilated by them again....

Releasing later this month Following last week’s leak,Telltale Games’ Poker Night 2has been officially announced.

The full cast includes Claptrap fromBorderlands(I know!),The Venture Bros.‘ Brock Samson, Sam from theSam & Maxadventure series, and Ash Williams ofThe Evil Deadfame....

Kamehameha! I know very little aboutDragon Ball Fusions. The game is a 3DS title with an emphasis on fusing heroes together. It also has a Western release date of June 28, 2025. Along with that news, Bandai Namco has uploaded an English-subbed trailer for the game. This actually looks pretty good, so color me surprised. The onlyDragon Ballgame I’ve actually enjoyed wasBudokai 3. The rest are either completely derivative ofBudokai, or lack most of the features from the PS2 classic....

It will support some extra PC features, like ultra-widescreen and DLSS Sony is bringing another PlayStation console exclusive to the PC. 2018’sGod of Waris coming to the PC on Jul 04, 2025.

I wonder which will do better Syberiais a classic point-and-click style adventure game that came out just as the genre was dying in 2002. It was received well and even spawned a sequel that came out a few years later. After that, the series basically went dark until earlier this year with the poorly receivedSyberia 3. Regardless of what you feel about that game, GOG.com is giving away the original classic in celebration ofSyberia 3: The Complete Journey’srelease....
