Warcraft III: Reforged is yet more proof Blizzard’s not the company it once was User score: 0.5. Beyond the visual downgrades, visual glitches, stutters, crashes, missing features, and connectivity issues, Blizzard now has a total disconnect with its audience.
Blizzard used to be synonymous with addicting and highly polished games, and had Midas’ golden touch for anything to do with entertainment. Now it seems as if the company is almost intentionally trying to show us just how much they just don’t give a shit. The recent launch of Warcraft III: Reforged is just the latest demonstration of the fact. The only reason this controversy has blown up at all is because it’s a remaster of a cherished classic game that was made back when Blizzard still had people with a passion for video games. Media outlets like Newsweek — while acknowledging the sorry state of the game at launch…

Pokemon GO disables tracking and fans are furious Instead of fixing a bug, they decided to amputate the feature entirely. Thanks…
The latest update of Pokemon GO completely removed its feature tracking relative locations of Pokemon, while neutering third party apps that aided users with exact locations. This was called a “fix” to a bug that would mistakenly show three footsteps for every Pokemon regardless of their location. But by fixing the feature they actually meant amputation, which left Pokemon GO players stumbling in the dark. The update along with Niantic’s poor communication has enraged fans of the game. Third party apps like Pokevision mapped out exact locations of Pokemon, allowing players to find the good ones without having to tediously walk in circles. The new update effectively made it impossible for these apps…

10 most messed up Mass Effect 2 mods Things are about to get dumb.
Prep the Derp Drive, Joker, and set a course for epic lulz. Things are about to get dumb. Days of YouTube lurking led me to this fantastic collection of unintelligible, side-splitting nonsense. I’m starting to believe that the creators of these videos were on some seriously hard drugs and I am concerned for their well-being. Because they need to keep making these. Their ranks were originally determined by the amount of time I spent slamming my face into my keyboard while I laughed, yet I discovered sometime later that they really can be viewed in no particular order. Number one just happens to be the video that about pushed me…
