Marvel Rivals Season 3 Update Breakdown: Phoenix and More!

Marvel Rivals Season 3 is Dropping Like a Flaming Phoenix And just like that, Marvel Rivals Season 3 is coming in hot, starting on July 11th. We've got a new hero, a new map, some shiny skins, and another buffet of patch notes that read like the fever dream of a sleep-deprived balance team. If you thought Season 2 was chaotic, congratulations. You've just unlocked “The Abyss Awakens,” where the devs tossed gasoline onto the meta and handed Wolverine a flamethrower (literally). Let’s dig into everything this update brought us: from cosmic chaos to unsurprising corporate cash grabs. Phoenix Rises, Blade Hides, and Wolverine Gets a God Complex First up, let’s talk about the firebird in the room: Phoenix (Jean Grey) has officially joined the roster. She’s a Duelist with enough cosmic power to turn teamfights into smoldering wreckage. Pair her with […]

Stop Killing Games You Paid For Games and They Don't Care

Stop Killing Games: You Paid for It, But Publishers Don’t Care

How the Industry Keeps Killing Our Favorite Games Remember when buying a game meant owning it? Yeah, I barely do either. Welcome to gaming in 2025, where publishers shut down games you paid for, delete them from your library, and brick your systems if you look at them funny. If that sounds dystopian, congratulations: you’re still capable of independent thought. This is why the Stop Killing Games movement exists. It’s not just a slogan; it’s pushback from gamers who are sick of watching digital purchases vanish like they were never real. You Bought Their Game, They Killed It Let’s start with Ubisoft’s The Crew. Not only did they kill the servers, they made the game completely unplayable (yes, even in single-player). And as a bonus, they wiped it from digital libraries. And if you paid for it? Congrats on owning […]

Game Over, Kotaku: Sold Off and Sent to the Swiss Dungeon

Kotaku’s Funeral: Sponsored by Keleops and Woke Fatigue Well folks, it finally happened. Kotaku, once upon a time a halfway-decent gaming site and now a walking Twitter thread of regret, has been sold off by G/O Media to *checks notes* a random Swiss media group named Keleops. Sounds like a Final Fantasy boss or maybe a new pharmaceutical that treats online addiction with ironic detachment and funsies? Image: Emerald Keleops lol | Final Fantasy 7 | Square Enix | ReportAFK The sale is being spun as a positive by a few former staffers who apparently think giving a legacy brand CPR in a European basement is a win. But let’s be real: this was a mercy kill. G/O Media didn’t pass on Kotaku as some holy torch...they chucked it into a ravine and hoped nobody noticed the smoke. The Long, […]

Is FNAF: Secret of the Mimic Good? Full Game Review

Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Mimic’s Got Drip Scott Cawthon and Steel Wool’s back at it again, folks. Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic dropped like a haunted birthday cake: loaded with lore, creepy vibes, and enough glitchy frosting to remind you it’s still a FNAF title at heart. So is this the redemption arc fans have been waiting for? Or just another fancy animatronic limping around on busted code and nostalgia bait? Strap in. We’re diving headfirst into this prequel ghost ride. Secret of the Mimic Story You step into the frightsome shoes of Arnold, a burnt-out Fazbear technician sent to Murray’s Costume Manor to snatch up some blueprints for the next-gen “Mimic” animatronic. That’s an endoskeleton able to literally wear any suit and mimic anyone (because of course it is...it’s FNAF). Without spoiling anything big - […]

The Other Side Review: A Ghost Hunting Game With No Soul

A Polished Frankenstein of Ghost Game Leftovers Welcome to The Other Side, the newest ghost-hunting title clawing its way onto Steam's horror shelf like a cursed VHS tape at a haunted Blockbuster. It's dressed up in Unreal Engine 5 with moody lighting and unsettling ambiance (points for that), but once you get under the hood, it starts feeling like a highlight reel of every ghost game you’ve already played. Except it doesn't always pick the right highlights. Let’s break this sucker down. The Good (Yeah, there's some) Scary ass ghost events I’ll give credit where it’s due: when the game wants to scare the hell out of you, it can. From doors exploding open like a pissed-off poltergeist to ghosts creepily strutting down hallways like they’re on a supernatural runway, The Other Side knows how to set a mood. It […]
