It may have taken almost two years, but we are now starting to see some of the documents that...

  • Bungie Issues Apology for Including Legendary Gauntlet with White Supremacist Logo in Destiny 2

    Earlier today, Waypoint pointed out that a piece of Legendary gear in Destiny 2 bears a damn close resemblance to the "KEK" logo that has become a very popular symbol for white supremacist in the United States. Specifically, it's the "KEK" logo from the Kekistan flag. Yes, to most sane and rational people that probably sounds incredibly stupid, but it's actually a thing.

  • Outcast: Second Contact - First Gameplay Video

    Outcast: Second Contact - First Gameplay Video

    Bigben and Appeal have released the first in what seems to be a series of gameplay videos for Outcast: Second Contact. Outcast: Second Contact is a remake of the 1999 game, Outcast, which is apparently the "first 3D open world" game to exist. I don't know enough to argue this remark, so I'll just have to take them on their word for now.
    In Outcast: Second Contact, the action takes place on Adelpha, a vast open world to explore and the cradle of an ancient alien civilization, the Talans.

    PewDiePie is Still a Racist - Casually Drops Racist Slur During Stream

    In today's bit of totally shocking news, Felix "PewDiePie" Kjellberg yet again outed himself as being a racist. Say what? PewDiePie certainly doesn't have a history of uttering racist or anti-Semitic remarks in the public eye. And it's not like he's ever been penalized for paying people to say things on his behalf such as "Death to all Jews." Right? RIGHT?! In all seriousness though, PewDiePie said a racial slur during a recent stream. It was casually dropped as though it wasn't even...

The two had paid other, unnamed, YouTubers anywhere between $2,500 (USD) and $55,000 to promote their sites. Well, the FTC has investigated and surprise, surprise, the two will face no pen...
