Often, it’s the most humble-looking things that go on to be sensations. Back when I was at school, what was the hot toy of the moment? Not some amazing electrical robo-doohickey that spins, flash and does your taxes for you, but the yo-yo. The yo-yo, friends. Today, it’s hard to imagine a more low-tech toy, but this ancient contraption had one heckola of a resurgence in the nineties, let me tell you....
Banned For: Being A Literal (Twitch Certified) Bot Our first reason is one of the craziest we encountered. While creators are human and prone to error, we assumed that bots would be exempt from these failings. However, it turns out not even automated moderators are immune from the over-enthusiastic ban hammer, after Twitch’s own Nightbot moderation tool was temporarily banned from the platform. When a falsified DMCA manages to take down one of the tools Twitch provides to help streamers keep order in their channels what chance do the streamers themselves have?...
Josh Wardle created Wordle, a game in which you must predict a five-letter word in six trials. As you may know, after each guess, you receive confirmation in the style of colored tiles, indicating which letters are in the proper spot and which are in other places of the correct word. Each day has a unique answer keyword that is exact for everybody. Also, there might be days when you get 3 vowels in your answer....

Team Sonic Racing hasn’t just taken inspiration from Mario Kart, in many ways it has downright copied it. In the world of racing games inspired by franchises, nothing will ever knock Mario Kart from its lofty pedestal. There’s no point even trying. If a developer wants to make a success of something in the same way via one of its franchises, it has to set itself apart from MK. Sega has decided to do the exact opposite of that in a number of ways with Team Sonic Racing, but most notably via its items, or wisps....

Typically when someone thinks of Minecraft they think of endless mining, massive builds, and lots of exploration. A player can accumulate a vast fortune via mining and craft a grand castle to store their wealth.

Whether it’s undervalued currencies, bizarre cost comparisons, or some of the laziest NPCs in gaming, here are some of the many hilarious reasons why Minecraft’s economy doesn’t make any sense....
Free Guy is about an NPC gaining sentience in a video game, starring the ever witty Ryan Reynolds as the main character. If you aren’t already sold on the concept of Deadpool going around making fun of videogame tropes, then get a lesson in video gaming because there is plenty of stuff about being an NPC that Free Guy gets free rein over with parodying. There are thousands of Youtube videos based on the oddball-ness of video games, so it’s nice to get recognition from Hollywood....

Activision Blizzard’s controversial boss Bobby Kotick recently considered acquiring video games websites such as Kotaku and PC Gamer, according to a new report.

As Ubisoft’s CEO insists “We have no pay-to-win elements in our games,” his company’s stock prices seamlessly plummet. A long track record speaks otherwise to his claims, evidenced by Far Cry: New Dawn, The Division 2, and Ghost Recon: Breakpoint. While The Division 2 merely walked a fine line with paid extras, the same cannot be said for the latter, whose various microtransactions can be used to bolster anything from players’ guns to perk upgrades....
