Phasmophobia Update: Grafton Rework + Nell’s Diner Incoming

Nell’s Diner Is Serving Ghosts on the Side Phasmophobia is back again with a new update on the way, and no, it’s not another bug fix disguised as content. We’re talking a full-blown Grafton Farmhouse rework, some shiny new Twitch Drops, and an upcoming map that sounds like it was plucked straight out of a haunted Grease remake. That’s right, Nell’s Diner is officially in development, and we’re already dreaming of ghost-infested milkshakes. Kinetic Games has been absolutely cookin' since the Chronicle update and I'm here for it! Let’s break it down, because between the animated cosmetics and a haunted house facelift, you’re gonna want to dust off your EMF reader whether you like it or not.

Marvel Rivals 3.5 Update: Blade Joins, Knull Returns, Don’t AFK

Marvel Rivals 3.5 Update Breakdown Welcome back to some more funderful Marvel Rivals news, where the stakes are high, the skins are hot, and the penalties for going AFK might actually make you sweat more than a 1v5 against Iron Fist. Update 3.5 drops on August 8, 2025, and it’s packing more than just a few shiny cosmetics. Don’t worry, there’s plenty of those too. Blade Ascends...Literally First off, Blade is officially slicing his way into the roster. And this isn’t your granddad’s vampire slayer. He’s now wielding Phoenix fire AND the abyss because subtlety is dead and buried in this game’s lore. His debut bundle comes with costumes, emojis, dynamic moods, and probably the power to bankrupt your wallet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJwI30KsqK8 Video: Blade: The One and Only | Character Reveal | Marvel Rivals New lore entries are also here, including […]

What Happened to Sonic EXE TD Reborn

TD Reborn Is Dead, But rEXEcution Is Getting Ready to Jump In

TD Reborn is Canceled But a New Game is in the Works Welp. It happened. Like I said it would.TD Reborn is officially toast. After mounting drama, shady monetization moves, and a full-on mod revolt, Sonic.EXE: The Disaster Reborn has been shut down - presumably before SEGA even had to send their usual love letter like they did with the original Sonic.EXE: The Disaster on Roblox. And while fans are still sifting through the wreckage of the Discord fallout, something unexpected has already emerged from the ashes: Gameripper is back! And apparently he's been quietly rebuilding the entire thing for months. In a long-awaited statement to the community, Gameripper665 confirmed that not only were the AI rumors bogus (it helped clean two scripts, not write the game), but that he’s been re-coding the project from the ground up "just for […]

Sonic.EXE: TD Reborn! Drama Unleashed

Coup in Sonic.EXE: TD Reborn - Are Devs Trying to Monetize a Fan Game? Well, that didn’t take long.Sonic.EXE: TD Reborn, the highly anticipated Roblox remake of the original fan-hit, Sonic.EXE: The Disaster, is already neck-deep in drama. Less than a month after release, one of the game’s developers, MajinBacon, has been accused of attempting to monetize the project on Roblox. That’s right - charging real money for a fan game built on SEGA’s IP. Because if there’s one surefire way to get SEGA to swing the ban hammer and pissing off the community, it’s trying to turn their blue blur into your personal ATM. A Money Move That Could Kill the Game For those keeping score: The Disaster didn’t even attempt monetization and still got yeeted into the void by SEGA lawyers. So naturally, fans of TD Reborn were...less than thrilled […]

Monster Hunter Wilds Extends Flamefete

Capcom Extends Flamefete and TU3 Content into August Update

Look, Capcom knows you’re not done grinding yet (and I wasn't either tbh). Maybe you missed the beach ball-flavored armor from Tempered Uth Duna. Maybe you forgot to farm that absurdly stylish gunlance that looks like a snack cart exploded. Or maybe you were just too busy bashing Lagiacrus skulls to care. Whatever the case, good news: the Festival of Accord: Flamefete is getting extended, and with it comes a surprise payload of content originally meant for September’s big Title Update 3. Yep. The devs smashed the emergency content glass and decided to pull some of TU3’s spicy meatballs forward into the upcoming 1.021 update, now dropping on August 13, 2025. That means more difficulty, more talismans, and more reasons to keep your build spreadsheet open at 2AM. Let’s break it all down, then wrap it up with a little […]

Stop KOSA Kids Online Safety Act Internet Privacy

The Kids Online Safety Act Is a Trojan Horse for Mass Surveillance

The War on Internet Privacy Disguised as “Protecting Kids” They’re at it again - like a bad sequel to a movie nobody asked for, the Kids Online Safety Act (S.1748) has clawed its way back into Congress. They’re calling it a “child safety” bill, but if you peek under the mask, it’s just another privacy-shredding, freedom-stomping piece of legislation that aims to turn the internet into a government-moderated daycare…for adults. So what is this legislative turd wrapped in a sparkly “think of the children” bow? Act 1: Same KOSA Script, New Fearmongering The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), introduced (again) by Senators Marsha Blackburn and Richard Blumenthal, claims to shield children from “harmful content” online. Sounds noble, right? Who wouldn’t want to protect kids from the brain-melting horrors of TikTok rabbit holes and late-night Discord servers? But that’s just the bait. […]

Communist in a Gucci Bag | Hasan Piker Music Video

Communist in a Gucci Bag Music Video Roast Track Within 30 minutes of dropping this masterpiece on YouTube, it was flagged and taken down for allegedly violating the “Violent Criminal Organizations” policy - which, while kind of insulting, is also objectively hilarious. Apparently, dropping some AI bars about hypocrisy hits harder than we thought. The appeal was successful (because duh), and now the video lives on to mock another day. “Communist in a Gucci Bag” is a no-holds-barred roast of Twitch's favorite champagne socialist, Hasan Piker, a man who preaches class struggle from the comfort of a multi-million-dollar LA mansion while rocking designer drip and throwing tantrums when you question the grindset. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cA1R53s9wCI Video: He's a Communist in a Gucci Bag | Hasan Piker" | ReportAFK The inspiration is Hasan’s weirdly obsessive non-response to Nuxanor - badass Vtuber he refused to […]

Collective Shout’s Censorship Crusade Against Gamers

There’s always gotta be a villain, huh?Once upon a time, it was Jack Thompson screaming about how Grand Theft Auto was going to turn us all into criminals. Then it was Tipper Gore slapping parental advisory stickers on everything. And now? Say hello to Collective Shout - Australia’s self-proclaimed moral watchdogs who have recently been attacking (and getting dunked on by) popular content creators online, pressured major credit card processors into cutting ties with game developers whose content doesn’t align with their "values."  Image: Madam Savvy Dancing on Collective Shout What’s happening now is the same ol’ slippery slope: a group of ideologues trying to decide what’s acceptable for everyone else, using scare tactics, social media outrage, and backdoor lobbying to quietly strangle creative expression in games and anime.Let’s be clear: nobody’s here to defend actual CSAM or illegal content and, yes, these […]

MHW: Flamefete Festival and Arch-Tempered Uth Duna Updates

It’s summertime in Monster Hunter Wilds, which apparently means it’s time to throw on some swimwear, light up the fireworks, and fight an electrified sand monster the size of a skyscraper. Capcom’s latest update, launching today July 23rd, isn’t just a seasonal fluff-fest. It’s also dropping a long-awaited challenge monster and a limited-time event quest that actually requires some skill. Imagine that.So let’s dive into everything this update has to offer: the Festival of Accord: Flamefete, the debut of Arch-Tempered Uth Duna, and the temporary (but brutal) “Daunting Downpour” challenge quest. And yes, we’ll talk spoilers at the end because Capcom decided to hide some lore bits in the thunderstorm.

Mortal Kombat 2 Is Doomed: How Wokeness Killed the Franchise

Once upon a time (not that long ago), Mortal Kombat 1 (2023) looked like it had a chance to reinvent the franchise in all the right ways. A full reboot. A clean slate. A chance to create a new golden age of fighting games that could compete with Street Fighter, Tekken, and whatever else the FGC is clinging to. But what did we get instead? A fatality...and not the fun kind. Image: NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros Nuking the Fun out of Mortal Kombat | ReportAFK A franchise face-plant into a pit of DEI checklists, sterilized character designs, and creatively bankrupt “reimaginings.” And now, with Mortal Kombat 2 looming on the horizon, it’s looking less like a triumphant sequel and more like a bloated corpse twitching on the mat. Still twitching, sure...but stone cold dead all the same. Did Sweet Baby […]
