  • The Legend of Zelda was an explicitly Christian game—until Nintendo of America desecrated it Link, a devout Christian warrior? Believe it.

    Before The Legend of Zelda became known for its somewhat complicated lore and disconnected story lines, the popular Nintendo series had real-world religious influences with Link originally written as a devout Christian warrior. I wouldn’t blame you if you missed the references to Christianity in the first three Zelda games because the hints were always subtle (especially for children) and it was never explicitly stated by characters in-game. One of the biggest in-game hints of religious imagery was found in the Japanese version of The Legend of Zelda. If you played the English version of the game, you’re probably familiar with the Book of Magic, which had a cross on…

  • 2D games exclusive to the PlayStation

    10 beautiful 2D games exclusive to the PlayStation (PS1/PSX) The future of gaming was 3D, but the PlayStation had several beautiful 2D exclusives.

    When the original PlayStation hit store shelves in 1995, it unlocked new possibilities in 3D gaming, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t a ton of beautiful 2D games on the PS1. The fifth generation of video games includes the PlayStation as well as the Sega Saturn and Nintendo 64. Out of those three consoles, it’s often assumed that the Sega Saturn had the best 2D games, considering its limitations with 3D. But the PlayStation had a giant library with a ton of great exclusives. Here are 10 great 2D games that you can only play on the original PlayStation in no particular order. 1.

    In the 1990s, games like Wipeout and F-Zero ushered in a new genre of racing games that aren’t confined to the realm of wheels and normal gravity. They’re known as anti-gravity racing games. While futuristic anti-gravity racing games like Wipeout and F-Zero aren’t extremely popular these days, there are still a few good titles that you might have overlooked. I’ve picked out a mix of retro and new anti-gravity racing games that you should check out if you enjoy games like Wipeout and F-Zero. 1.

  • You’ll never be able to afford these top gaming battlestations MOM! BATHROOM!

    Every gamer has one thing in common: they need a battlestation to pilot. A battlestation is not just about the specs of your gaming PC. It’s also about the comfort of your chair, the serenity of your environment, and achieving maximum aesthetics through decadent amounts of technology and LEDs. There are people with a lot of disposable income (or rich parents) who are passionate about creating the ultimate gaming environment, and who like to show off what they’ve built in battlestation threads on 4chan and on the r/battlestations subreddit. We have collected some of the very best of them. (PS. Also check out our companion piece with only retro battlestations.)…

    Critics bash ‘Rambo: Last Blood’ for its portrayal of Mexico and ‘latinx’ characters Critics are once again completely out of touch with viewers.

    The fifth installment of “Rambo” series was released on Friday, and the movie had everything you would expect — Sylvester Stallone, guns, and lots of violence. Viewers were satisfied with the film, giving “Rambo: Last Blood” an 85 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. But this number is in stark contrast to the critic score of just 28 percent. This is why you never trust critics or @RottenTomatoes #starwars #rambo pic.twitter.com/cQwDkjAoYP — Ali Sleeq 🇱🇧 (@AliSleeq) September 23, 2019 The out-of-touch critics savagely tore the film apart, and they all had one central complaint: Mexico is portrayed as a poor, violent country.

    Greekgodx banned from Twitch for saying there’s two genders Belief in the ever expanding list of genders discovered by Tumblr scientists—such as agenderflux and gyraboy—now a requirement for the streaming platform.

    Twitch has banned popular part-time livestreamer Greekgodx for stating that there are two genders. On Wednesday, Greek was live on Twitch – a rare occasion these days – and briefly mentioned SoundCloud’s sign-up options, which allows users to identify their gender as “other.” “It does ‘male,’ it does ‘female,’ it does ‘other,’ and it does ‘prefer to not say.’ Imagine having ‘other’ and ‘prefer to not say.’ What cucks are they fucking catering to now?” “Other? Fuck off,” Greek continued, “If you put ‘other,’ they should ‘sorry, SoundCloud is not for you, goodbye,’ and fucking delete you.” Judging from Greek’s sudden ban, Twitch staff members are among the “cucks” that…

    Youtube streamer Ice Poseidon (Paul Denino) is doing an EU RV trip with his current collection of homeless adjacents, but the livestream event that was meant to save his dying career might very well cut his time in Europe short. Ice Poseidon is the last person you want driving a 5,000 pound vehicle (he is very sensitive about his driving skills, by the way), and unsurprisingly was unable to navigate it around France’s narrow streets without running into everything in sight. And of course, being your typical degenerate streamer, he promptly fled the scene. His friend, Tracksuit Andy, livestreamed the events: “Oh my God, you fucking banged into the guy,”…

Hasbro announced that in their new version of Monopoly, Ms. Monopoly, women get an extra $40 every time they pass “Go.” Ms. Monopoly is “a fun new take on the game that creates a world where women have an advantage often enjoyed by men,” the company said in a statement, according to CNN. “But don’t worry, if men play their cards right, they can make more money too.” Unlike the classic game, women will collect 240 Monopoly bucks when they pass "go," while male players will collect the usual 200.
