I’m not about to tell a girl with foot-long, metal knitting needles that she’s not hardcore — let alone a guy who made20-ft. needles, or ex-NFL star,Rosey Grier.No siree, needlepoint is definitely hardcore. Combine that with hardcore love for all things Nintendo, and you getthis HOW-to projectby Rose Red for a fuzzy Nintendo controller themed case to keep your favorite portable warm during the winter.Now, you can pass theextra pics on Flickrand info onto your cute girlfriend (read: your Grandma), so she can make you one just like it....

Seriously, who was the crackhead who decided that Veteran mode was even remotely fun to play? It’s not even worth completing the levels for 40 gamerpoints a pop. In fact, I’d rather cut out my own eyes and shove them up my arse, that is what I’d rather do. You see what I did there? I stated that I’d rather do something very painful and very unpleasant and OH FOR GOD’S SAKE MICROSOFT GIVE US XBOX LIVE BACK SO I DON’T HAVE TO KEEP PLAYING IT!...

66 in total It should be no surprise to anyone that theSuper Smash Bros.Invitational at E3 was won byZeRo. He came out of retirement to compete, and with his excellent Mario play, walked away with his second NintendoSmashchampionship. From all of us here at Destructoid, congratulations ZeRo. You’re one hell of a competitor. Of course, Mario is just one of the fighters featured inSmash Ultimate. In total, including the Echo Fighters, there are 66 playable characters in the game — or 68 if you count each Pokémon with the Pokémon Trainer individually....

Dolphins PopCap’s released a new video for its upcoming third-person shooter take on the much loved tower-defense franchise,Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare. It’s short, and really only exists to let everyone know that they can nowpre-order the game, but there’s a zombie scientist using what appears to be a dolphin gun so it’s okay. Because of money,Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfarewill launch first on the Xbox One and Xbox 360, with PC and PS4 release dates still unknown....

Boarding parties ahoy! We’ve known anbig updateis coming to the wonderfulFTLbut we’ve got abit more informationas to what will actually be in the upcoming Advanced Edition. One of the big things that’s caught my eye is the addition of a Clone Bay which is an alternative to having a medbay. Clones can replace deceased crew members but will lose some of their skills. Not having a medbay also means your crew members can’t heal in the traditional way but the Clone Bay will heal your crew each time your ship makes a jump....

If you ever needed proof that Mike Wasowski has anything but good taste inDisney Dreamlight Valley, his level four friendship quest will provide that proof. Monstrously Good Taste involves a sun-ripened rotten fish cologne and it’s as bad as it sounds. to pick up this quest, you’ll need to have completed Mike’s level two quest, Germs Abound, and get him up to level four friendship. You can do this fairly quickly by giving him flowers....

While Lyle and myself continue to question the mistake into a non-miracle that is theSonic the Hedgehoglive-action movie, here’s what’s been happening in video games: Does a good live-action movie adaptation of a video game even exist? Sure, we’ve had plenty of CGI movies that are pretty decent, but I honestly can’t even think of a remotely “good” video game-based movie that was live-action. Sure, some could say theResident Evilmovies for just how absurd they are or even that firstSilent Hillmovie (I thought it was half decent)....

In a move that single-handedly eclipsed all of the creative achievements of the past decade or so, Irrational Games, a subsidiary of 2K Games, has been renamed. Irrational’s offices in Boston and Canberra, Australia getting the earth-rendingly original monikers of2K Bostonand2K Australia, respectively, to reflect the studios’ “further integration” into the holding company’s similarly-named circle jerk. The snuggling up to Irrational on 2K’s part seems to derive from the growing hype aroundBioShock,and who can blame them?...

Built around a relationship In an interesting turn, Riot Games has released two heroes at once this week inLeague of Legends, and they’re intrinsically connected. Billed as “birds of a feather,” Xayah and Rakan are lovers, and sport several promotions, like the ability to gift them to friends, or unlock an extra player icon if you play two games with them on the same team. I’ve already heard a bunch of heartwarming stories of couples playing them together, but lets look at them individually....

It’s been a hot minute since we’ve had a newMass Effectrelease, not including the Legendary Edition that came out in 2021. There is a follow-up in development, but a recent post suggests the studio may be downsizing, or is at least restructuring. According toGary McCay– the current General Manager at BioWare – the next entry inMass Effectwill be handled by a “core team” going forward. It seems as though developers who worked onDragon Age: The Vailguardare being moved over to the new project....

It’s actually three rapid patches SoMedal of Honor: Above and Beyondwas quite ambitious in what it was trying to achieve, and it came up short in a lot of respects. I wasn’t alone in my assessment! A number of reviewers and users alike felt the burn of some of its mechanics, whether they were directly related to the VR medium or not. Well, since Respawn has a reputation to uphold and some of that EA money, they’ve gotten to work on a series of patches to shore up some of the game’s shortcomings....

Essentially, it’s the Game of the Year Edition Despite the fact that Platinum Games has never had a Game of the Year style re-release, and the fact that Konami as a whole isn’t big on immediate re-releases, aMetal Gear Rising: Revengeance Ultimate Editionhas just been announced for the PlayStation Network. It comes with the core game, as well as theJetstreamandBlade WolfDLCs, the freeVR Mission pack, the Cyborg Ninja skin (previously only available to pre-orders), theMetal Gear Solid 4Raiden skin, and the Commando, White, and Inferno skins....

Not good Mighty No[t the concept art] 9isn’t in the best spot right now. All week we’ve been hearing rumors of a delay into 2016, and I declined to really comment on it until I had done some digging. I can now confirm through a source at GameStop that the delay is real, and not a mistake or placeholder change. This is corroborated by a few other outlets and sources,such as Game Informer....
