The antitrust lawsuit against Valve from Wolfire Games got a little spicy this week.

    Dragon Ball FighterZ is About to Get Cooler

    The latest character reveal for Dragon Ball FighterZ is Cooler. Cooler than what? No, it's just Cooler. You know, the son of King Cold and the older brother of Frieza. Cooler.

    60 Parsecs Gives You 60 Seconds to to Survive

    Robot Gentleman, the development studio behind 60 Seconds! have announced a follow-up game called 60 Parsecs! Much like its predecessor, 60 Parsecs! gives you 60 seconds to gather as much as you can to survive before you're jettisoned into space.

    Seems fair.

    Also, it needs to be said that a parsec is a unit of length, not of time. I blame this common misconception on that damned Star Wars all the kids like these days.
