    That’s really gotta hurt.

    Even more fighters are coming to Mortal Kombat 1 with Sindel, Raiden, and Shao K — pardon — General Shao joining the roster with the centaur Motaro as a Kameo fighter. Be careful around Sindel’s hair tentacles — the scream I scrumpt when she pulled apart a fighter’s legs like cracking a chicken wing could be heard from space.

    Get SNAPPED on Steam.

    Marvel Snap, last year’s Mobile Game of the Year, and one of the best mobile collectible card games to come out in a while, is now officially available on Steam. Though Snap has always been available on PC, it was only in early access. With today’s Steam relaunch, the game’s now optimized for PC play with a revamped UI and new horizontal display.

    *Extreme Molly Shannon voice* (Sonic) Super-STAHHHHS.

    Sonic Superstars was my favorite surprise announcement of Summer Game Fest 2023. A 2D, side-scrolling Sonic game that’s not a re-release in this remaster / remake economy? Oh hell yes. I will be present and seated for Sonic Superstars launching on everything October 17th....proving yet again Sonic’s faster than Mario, launching three days before Super Mario Wonder.

    “Bill Clinton wants to play GTA 6.”

    That’s what one person said after crashing the Opening Night Live 2023 stage. The GTA 6 fan along with one other person bum-rushed the stage in the midst of Geoff Keighley’s opening monologue. The episode evoked a similar event during 2022’s The Game Awards ceremony when another fan snuck on stage to snatch the mic to also yell about Bill Clinton after Elden Ring won game of the year. Security!!!

    And the winner for best NPC name of all time goes to...

    this brothel cook in Baldur’s Gate 3. Not only is Sauceman Chorizo perhaps the finest NPC name in all of video game history, his barks are unsubtle works of art.

    NLRB casts “Reject” on eBay’s “Appeal.”

    The NLRB has rejected an appeal from TCGPlayer and parent company eBay that sought to contest certain employees’ membership in TCG Union, according to an emailed press release.

    Because of the pending appeal, TCGplayer has failed to recognize the union that won its election back in May, and refused to meet with the union to bargain for a fair contract.
