El Paso, Elsewhere is a videogame-ass videogame. Its features wouldn’t be out of place scrawled across an OG PlayStation game’s back cover: 50 levels of intense action! Seven powerful weapons!An army of the undead to blast back to hell!More lurid colored lighting than you can shake an LED array at! While it may draw from…
Last year the chess world was engulfed by scandal after world champion Magnus Carlsen accused his opponent, grandmaster Hans Niemann, of cheating in a game which Niemann won.

It’s embarrassing to admit, but there’s an alternate timeline where I never moved away from my tiny hometown in Oregon and got really into hunting and wearing camouflage hats. This alternate version of me would probably find Facebook memes hilarious and Marvel movies epic as hell. If we were to meet each other, I don’t…
There must be something in the water. A few days ago, we covered the GTA fans that are looking to the moon for answers about the next big GTA 6 announcement, and now it’s Titanfall players’ turn. What are they doing? Convincing themselves that a playlist update is actually a reference to a Red Hot…
