10 times gamers IRL died on cam F in the chat.
We recently wrote about gamers shitting their pants from sheer dedication to gaming. Sadly, sometimes they also die from it. They’re mostly keeling over in their chairs from inactivity and stress induced complications, which isn’t so interesting. Other times gamers are just victims of circumstance like the rest of us and get shot up because the some psycho lost a Madden NFL game. We got together with experts from Pro-Papers and did our homework so we could highlight ten times gamers peaced out of this miserable existence doing what they love.

Top 10 relationship simulators to play instead of getting #MeToo’d Interactions with the opposite sex can lead to rape—or worse. We'll help you pick out your new virtual cartoon girlfriend.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and thanks in part to services like onlinedivorcer.com that helps couples end their marriage in just a few clicks of the mouse, there are now more single Americans than married people. Pretty much by the time the last boomer dies off, the only marriages left are going to be tax schemes and YouTube pranks. And in fact, it’s now getting more and more common not to deal with the opposite sex at all. This is a fraught new era, writes NBC News, full of paranoia and potential allegations. Talking can lead to flirting, which can lead to #MeToo. But we’re still humans, with…

WATCH: mom rages on livestreaming son having a smelly gamer moment Gamers sometimes need to poop where they sit instead of wasting time going to the bathroom, but this mom won't tolerate gamer moments.
Mom rudely intrudes on a gamer’s Mafia III livestream and blurts out, “Get off your game, go to the bathroom, and take a shit. Now.” Not eliciting a response, she continues, “Bathroom and shit now! I can smell you!” The gamer is confused and unable to understand her rage, so she explains: “You’re SHITTING yourself. Poop is coming out of your fucking asshole! Go to the bathroom!” “Not yet.” The stream was originally posted to creeperman 90‘s YouTube channel but it has since been deleted. The problem of gamers catching flak for festering in their own feces is actually a lot more common than previously thought, proving gamers are truly…

Bored? These are the funniest indie games on Steam We have the video evidence.
It’s a rare treat when developers dare to enter the competitive video games market with something completely absurd — and their creations are actually entertaining. I would say it’s even the stuff of legends. Who on planet Earth hasn’t seen the endlessly hilarious Goat Simulator at this point? So buckle up and let’s get to it, and drop your own favorites in the comments (we might add it to our list). The Long Drive At first sight, this is just another indie driving simulator with a few exploring and crafting elements. But in practice, The Long Drive is a post-ironic ode to the tidal wave of indie survival games. Your…

How to livestream video games for fun and profit 86% of young americans want to become online influencers, but few will. Here's how to build and monetize acareer in livestreaming — no tits required.
If you’re a young person, chances are you’ve already thought about turning your love for gaming into a career. A Morning Consult survey reported via CBS News shows that a mindboggling 86% of young americans now want to become online influencers, and 12% already consider themselves one. Strange figures considering only 1% of people on the internet actually create content. The culprit is likely the media’s endless barrage of reports of million dollar payouts for the biggest stars on Twitch and in pro gaming. Being a game streamer in particular can be a very lucrative affair, because there’s no doubt about the market for the content. The leading streaming platform…

Train Simulator now costs almost $10,000 with all DLCs You can buy a brand new car for less.
Meet Dovetail Games’ Train Simulator — currently the most expensive video game on Steam. The asking price isn’t much: a mere $30 depending on the region you’re in. It’s what comes after, if you want to get a good set of trains to play with, that makes the game run up a whopping total. (This is not counting gambling programs or being a whale in a mobile game like Clash of Clans, of course, where you can throw away millions if you’d like) As calculated on Steam itself per November 3, 2019, you’re going to need a grand total of $9,765.47 to own every single piece of downloadable content (DLC)…

An army of angry Winnie the Poohs is preparing to storm this year’s BlizzCon "They can't ban us all."
Everyone is expecting this year’s BlizzCon to be a shitshow of epic proportions, and for good reasons. Now it looks like the Blizzard/China hullabaloo is even going to result in an army of Winnie the Pooh costumed activists trying to force themselves into the event. Winnie the Pooh has been banned in China ever since someone noticed the bear bears a striking resemblance to Xi Jinping. You may have already seen the many memes saying as much. This is what we need at Blizzcon, except with Winnie the Pooh.#BoycottBlizzcon #BoycottBlizzard pic.twitter.com/1aVWK1irsG — Klara Sjöberg (@klara_sjo) October 13, 2019 Winnie the Pooh cosplayers preparing to enter Blizzcon pic.twitter.com/9d3Ehir7nv — 🧸Jasmin🧸 (@Sleepy_Jasmin)…

Steam’s worst rated games of all time We decided to scrape the bottom of the Steam marketplace barrel and write about what we find.
Since Steam ended their Greenlight policy and opened the floodgates to anyone with a free copy of Unity and a bit of spare time, Steam’s mountains of crappy games have been the subject of some derision. It’s probably not a plot to send more traffic to curators and reviewers — … but it could be. Instead of shilling games you should buy right now, we decided to scrape the bottom of the barrel — some of the worst rated games around — and write about what we find. Most of these are not Tommy Wiseau tier games, entertainment so bad it actually becomes good again. So ask yourself why you…
