You should try them out RIGHT NOW As you may have already noticed, Disqus recently received a pretty hefty update, and there are a TON of new embed options for various forms of media. YouTube and Vimeo videos, Google Maps, Soundcloud songs, Twitter cards — the list goes on. Youcouldcheck out the full list of enhancementshere(including instructions for hiding them, if you’re so inclined), but wouldn’t it be more fun to just spam this thread with a bunch of random bullshit?...

Made for London’s Science Museum At first,Transmissionlooks like a pretty standardEulerian path-based puzzle game. That is not a bad thing; I was pretty hooked onLynefor a while. But asTransmissionprogresses, it follows the history of electronic communication, and it uses that history to introduce new elements that build on its complex system. Beginning with the telegraph, there are simple transmitters and receivers, and the goal is to get information (represented by cubes) from the former to the latter....

Surviving the village sequence, a funny egg toss, a run-in with a Regenerator, and more RE4 VR clips To a certain extent, I was perfectly fine living in the land of blissful ignorance with respect toResident Evil 4VR. But after hearingsuch great thingsabout it — and seeing it in action with clips that really show off the heightened sense of player freedom — I’m starting to visualize a few hundred dollars vanishing from my bank account in the near future....

Spoilers Here’s a recap of what’s been confirmed forKingdom Hearts IIIso far in terms of worlds:Tangled, Toy Story, Big Hero 6, Monsters Inc., Hercules, Twilight Town, and Yen Sid’s Tower. We also know that “noFinal Fantasyworlds” are in. For a nebulous “2018” release that’s not too bad in terms of info, but a new leak might have given us more insight if it’s correct. Spoilers, obviously. According to the reddit thread that features a source who correctly leakedMonsters Inc....

Warner Bros. has big in things in store for 5th Cell’s long-awaited DS puzzlerScribblenauts. The game, released today, has been compared toProfessor Laytonby the publisher, with a belief that it will gain mass-market appeal and herald the start of a whole new franchise. “The stylized look ofScribblenautsoffers something fresh and friendly that doesn’t appear intimidating,”says marketing manager Phil Lamb. “That combined with the addictive gameplay means that it will definitely strike a chord with casual, female and maybe even ‘grey’ gamers....

Coming to PC and PS4 this year Shadows of the Damneddirector Massimo Guarini has announced his latest game,Last Day of June. The moody puzzle game looks a lot closer toGuarini’s most recent directorial effort,the child-draggingMurasaki Baby, thanShadows of the Damned, of course. “Join Carl and June on what begins as a magical outing to their favorite spot, and try to unlock the sequence of events that could save the day – and June’s life – in this cinematic experience,” that will compel you to ask yourself: “‘What would I do to save the one I love?...

Six more games SNK low key crafted a lot of influential arcade games: ones that would create the framework in various genres so that other publishers could really take advantage of the market. We’re going to see a lot of those in theSNK 40th Anniversary Collection, which arrives on Nintendo Switch on November 13 for $39.99. It’ll launch with 13 games on the cart/download, and on December 11, 11 more DLC titles will be added for free....

Intrepid Welp, theAnimal Crossingcustom design system is pretty limitless, but this probably isn’t what Nintendo intended! As a reminder,Animal Crossing: New Horizonshas been out for a short while, which means thousands of fans have come up with waysto either break it or stretch the limitsof what the game can do: the human spirit really is indomitable, isn’t it? This time a player in China has taken it upon themselves to create their own storefront....

Ahsoka and Annakin Star WarsandDisney Infinity, together at last. As reported byDisKingdomandComicBook.com, a German retailer listing has pinpointed an June 12, 2025 release forDisney Infinity 3.0: Star Warson Wii U, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3. Whether or not that date comes to fruition — “Disney has no comment onDisney Infinity 3.0at this time” — the leaked image looks legitimate enough. Not what I had in mind forStar Wars, exactly, but I suppose the aesthetic does make sense for the game....

Well, actually a number of things, under the same emotional umbrella tattered with holes so the rain hides my tears Tripping. Kidding. (Sort of). Nintendo is good about makingSuper Smash Bros.entries distinct, even if, so far, that just drives the competitive crowd back toMelee. And in going beyond iteration, it’s easy for a newSmashgame to feel in some way not quite right (hence everyone that went back toMelee). I arbitrarily used aSimpsonsscreenshot of sad Darryl Strawberry as a temporary header for this post, which began as an innocuous enough thought:Super Smash Bros....
