SonicEXE: Dimensional Coalescence’s Massive Prototype Update

Sonic.EXE: Dimensional Coalescence Just Dropped a Massive Prototype Update, and It’s Honestly Kinda Fire Even though Sonic.EXE: The Disaster got bodied by SEGA, Roblox’s .EXE community isn’t slowing down.If anything? It’s evolving.Let’s address the elephant in the server room: Sonic.EXE: The Disaster is gone, nuked by SEGA faster than you can say “copyright claim.” It stung. It was a flagship in the .EXE scene and helped bring together a chaotic blend of creepypasta lore, custom gameplay, and anime crossovers that actually slapped. Image Source: SonicEXE: Dimensional Coalescence | MRT | Roblox But here’s the plot twist SEGA didn’t expect: the community’s still alive and more cursed than ever. Enter Sonic.EXE: Dimensional Coalescence - a game that didn’t come to replace The Disaster, but with the latest prototype update, it sure as hell came to compete.Let’s break it down. New Survivors Hit the Roster […]

Semiwork Announces Overcharge Changes Coming in REPO

Semiwork Tweaks the Overcharge Juice in the R.E.P.O. Open Beta If you've been grinding your way through the chaotic co-op mayhem of R.E.P.O., you've probably felt the burn—literally—of the Overcharge mechanic. Introduced during the public beta, Overcharge was supposed to stop players from cheesing the game by yeeting monsters around like a semi-pro dodgeball team. Instead, it kind of turned early-level gameplay into a ticking time bomb. But good news: semiwork heard the outcry, took a step back, and now they're changing things up in a big way. Never Heard of R.E.P.O. Before? Cliff notes - it’s a beautifully grimy, chaotic little co-op horror banger where you and your robotic buddies risk life, limb, and limited flashlight batteries to extract valuables while avoiding everything that wants you dead. You can read our full beta breakdown here for more info on the […]

Palworld Patents and the Spiraling Image of Nintendo Drama

Palworld, Patents, and the Spiraling Image of Nintendo

The Fall of the Mushroom Kingdom Once upon a time, Nintendo was the whimsical grandpa of the gaming world - charming, quirky, a little out of touch, but ultimately harmless.Fast-forward to 2025, and that same grandpa is now shaking you down for $70+ per game, threatening to brick your console, and siccing their legal team on anyone who dares draw Pikachu with too much ambition.What happened?Nintendo used to be synonymous with innovation, magic, and - dare we say it - joy? But lately, the company seems more focused on locking down profits than leveling up gameplay. It’s like they accidentally speedran the “EA-ification” of their brand. Remember when they were the plucky “good guys”?  Yeah. Me neither.In the last few months alone, Nintendo has gone full chaos mode: slapping next-gen price tags on games that probably won’t even have functional […]

Death Stranding 2 and the Beautiful Madness of Hideo Kojima

There are game developers. There are designers. And then there’s Hideo Kojima.A man who doesn’t make video games so much as he crafts cryptic digital art pieces that also happen to feature long cutscenes, philosophical rambling, and sometimes Norman Reedus bathing in a cave with a baby in a jar. And now, the madman is back.Death Stranding 2: On the Beach officially drops on June 26, 2025, and if the trailers are anything to go by, we’re in for another round of “What the hell did I just watch?” in the best possible way, of course. But to understand where we’re going, we’ve got to appreciate where we’ve been—so let’s dive into the messy brilliance of Kojima’s past, present, and hopefully trauma-inducing future. What We Know About Death Stranding 2 (So Far) So far, Kojima’s given us two trailers, a few cryptic […]

Press X to Skip Bad Journalism: How Gaming Media Lost the Plot

Skipping Boss Fights: The Final Boss of Gaming Journalism Is Gaming Itself Remember when beating a tough boss felt like an achievement instead of a hate crime?Well, according to Kotaku's John Walker, that feeling is sooo 2008. In his latest piece of "I swear I like games, guys," titled "Could We Be About to Enter a Skippable Boss Fight Utopia", he excitedly reports that South of Midnight will include a boss skip button. Yes, a literal "Skip Boss" option, for those who apparently bought the game by accident and are just here for the vibes. Image Source: imgflip.com Let that sink in: imagine paying full price for a game, then opting to not actually play the game. We’ve reached a point where journalists want a “Press X to Not Try” feature - and they’re celebrating it like it’s the Second Coming of Accessibility […]

GTA VI Trailer Breaks Records, But Fans Question Delay and Direction Rockstar just dropped the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI, and in true GTA fashion, the internet exploded.We're talking 15 million views in under three hours - an absolutely disgusting flex from a franchise that’s been chilling on GTA V since the Obama administration.The new trailer gives us a sun-soaked look at Leonida (aka Not-Florida) and introduces us to Jason and Lucia - our new chaos agents in crime. But it also came with a twist: the game’s been delayed until May 2026.So yeah, more waiting.Yay...But before we go full rage-mode about the delay, let’s talk about the trailer, the weird rumor mill, and why this game might be getting a much-needed de-wokification pass.

Sonic.exe The Disaster Shutdown by SEGA

SEGA’s Takedown of Sonic.exe: The Disaster Just Seems Petty

Welp. SEGA might have just swung the banhammer on one of Roblox’s most iconic and beloved horror-fangames, Sonic.EXE: The Disaster - and fans are fuming mad. In what feels like a cheap shot disguised as “IP protection,” the company allegedly sent a takedown notice that wiped the game clean off the platform like it was some kind of threat.Spoiler alert: it kinda was. But not for the reasons you think. A Roblox Horror Hit That Deserved Better Let’s get one thing straight: Sonic.EXE: The Disaster wasn’t some half-baked copy-paste Sonic reskin thrown together in a weekend. This thing was a full-blown passion project - built and maintained by solo dev OutLaik, who, by all accounts, did everything by the book. No monetization. No shady asset grabs. Just a pure love letter to SEGA’s blue blur with a creepypasta twist. And it worked. Really well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWlO-ZXZUSMVideo […]
