Fortnite World Cup Solos winner Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf was on stream when fans overheard him share that he’d been swatted. One can imagine a sense of pandemonium as the Sentinels pro left his computer abruptly to address the situation, only to find uniformed, armed officers in his home. Bugha was lucky, as he later shared that one of the officers lived in his neighborhood and recognized him. “What if I just got popped?...

In a Twitter message, he thanked the community for its patience in this trying period of, oh, about less than a month....

Head of Ryu Ga Gaotoku Studio Daisuke Sato has once again stated that he’d like to bring historical spin-off Yakuza titles Yakuza: Kenzan and Yakuza: Ishin to the West. Speaking to German site JP Games (as spotted by Video Games Chronicle) in a recent interview, Sato said “Personally, I would like for these titles to be localised and enjoyed by our Western fans.

Not often do the worlds of video games and high fashion collide. However, when they do, it’s likely that one will see Square Enix’s acclaimed RPG series Final Fantasy involved — as it was just a few years ago when Final Fantasy 13 protagonist Lightning modeled for Louis Vuitton. Recently the series has been making fashion headlines again after Japanese artist and character designer Yoshitaka Amano designed one of the illustrated covers for Vogue Italia’s first 2020 issue....

In our eighth installment of our weekly World of Warcraft Wisdom feature I continue in looking back at various expansions and their patches - today the Burning Crusade. I have to admit, when World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade first came out, I was both excited and perplexed. I was excited to make a Blood Elf (I went with a rogue), but was not too sure about the idea of another planet....

Yakuza 3 came to me at a formative time in my life. It was the middle of high school, in 2010, and I was starting to realize that my tastes in games didn’t align with my friends. I was looking for more authentic, quirky experiences than what most Western AAA titles could offer. Lo and behold, Sega answered my prayers with a rollicking open-world beat ‘em up that was equal parts brash, badass, and bawdy....
