But he was…
Sandbox fun times simulator Garry’s Mod has gobbled up pretty much every official Valve Source game into its toybox at this point, but there is land yet to conquer. Facepunch announced this week that the 20-year-old game’s next patch, planned for April 29, will finally bring Black Mesa into the fold. “By popular demand and…
I’ll hand it to Blizzard: There’s not a better band to write a Diablo song than Korn. I may have been slightly too young to call myself a legitimate fan, but my dad regularly had Korn on in his truck when he took me to school, and I distinctly remember staring at the grinning skull…
