Pokémon Go Streamer Mugged Live On Twitch [UPDATE]
by Cecilia D'Anastasio
DsiderFine, I feel a little sorry for him, but I still think anyone doing this shit in NYC of all places is a fucking idiot. We don't live in the kind of place where this would ever be a smart idea.

by Brian Ashcraft
DsiderLooks like they took the wrong message from US cartoons
As Kotaku previously reported
, yes, there is a new Pokémon TV series. A new Pokémon anime means one thing: changes to Ash’s face.

A Musical Character Customization Trick For Everyone To Copy
by Kirk Hamilton
DsiderHOLY SHIT PLEASE
Most role-playing games let you customize some aspect of your character. Their hair, or outfit, or voice, that kind of thing. Divinity: Original Sin 2, which hits Steam early access today, lets you go one further and customize your hero’s theme music.

The Unbearable Lightness of Lost Video Game Saves
by Kirk Hamilton
A few days ago, I accidentally deleted a batch of saved games. Collectively they represented a couple hundred hours’ worth of time spent playing a dozen or more games. Years of hard-won progress, gone in the blink of an eye.

Isaac Hayes' Son Says Someone Else Made His Dad Quit South Park
by Jason Schreier
Back in 2006, singer and actor Isaac Hayes abruptly quit South Park, where he had voiced the character Chef for a decade. Hayes, an active Scientologist, was apparently upset about the episode “Trapped In The Closet,” which makes fun of the cultish religion he followed. But it sounds like his departure wasn’t entirely up to him.

Dungeons & Dragons’ ranger class received a buff yesterday.
by Cecilia D'Anastasio
DsiderDoes this mean if we ever get to play again that Kate's wolf won't be more powerful than her anymore?
Dungeons & Dragons’ ranger class received a buff yesterday. For over a year, players have expressed dissatisfaction with rangers’ high-level play, inspiring publisher Wizards of the Coast to revise the class’s features. “Favored enemy” and terrain navigation are now more effective. Here are all of the changes, which WoTC stresses are “draft” changes and not meant for Organized Play events.

The Zero Time Dilemma Pre-Order Debacle
by Jason Schreier
DsiderThe second worst tragedy after what that poor woman there goes through
Months after the launch of Zero Time Dilemma , Amazon has finally shipped out the game’s much-delayed pre-order bonuses. Well, to some people. Others are being asked to pay a bunch of money. One got like 60 of them. The whole thing’s kind of a mess.

Valve Makes Big Changes To Steam Reviews, Angers Developers
by Nathan Grayson on Steamed, shared by Nathan Grayson to Kotaku
Dsidersigh
Valve has spent this year slowly revamping Steam reviews, and the latest change is a biggie: by default, reviews written by people who obtained a game with a key (or anything else not directly within Steam) don’t factor.

Maybe This Is Why Dragon Quest Never Took Off In The West
by Jason Schreier
I’ve always had a soft spot for Dragon Quest, a turn-based RPG series full of silly names and adorable slime monsters. In Japan, the series is a cultural phenomenon. But for some reason it’s never found the same popularity in other countries.

Witness World Of Warcraft: Legion's Amazing Steam Death Cave Before It's Gone
by Mike Fahey
DsiderThings like this are what made this game so endlessly entertaining back in the glory days, and are just another reason why this expansion is so refreshing
The air is festive and steam-filled inside the cave of the northeastern coast of the Broken Isles, as the bodies of Horde and Alliance players alike form a pile around an orb that must be clicked to complete the Legion expansion’s recently-discovered secret world quest

Sega Takes Shot At Nintendo, Encourages Fans To Keep Making Sonic Stuff
by Heather Alexandra
DsiderThe obvious joke here is that Sega can't make good Sonic stuff, so of course they'll let others try. But regardless, I appreciate the gesture.
It’s been a pretty good time for fan games. We’ve had a full scale remake of Metroid 2 and an amazing tribute to Sonic the Hedgehog . Only one of these games has been taken down by corporate forces. Last week, the Game Grumps played Green Hill Paradise Act 2. Sega noticed. And gave a big thumbs up.

The Smash Community Is Brawling Over A Non-Existent 'VIP Room'
by Cecilia D'Anastasio
“You know why I’m here,” Kenneth Bradley, a ranked Street Fighter IV player with Evil Geniuses, yelled into a camera last week. It was to talk about the latest Super Smash Bros. controversy, something that has affected the fighting game community at large. Bradley took issue with certain competitive Super Smash Bros. players who say they want so-called “VIP rooms” at tournaments to warm up in peace. At one recent Smash tournament, competitive players warmed up in what many called a “VIP room,” although organizers say it was nothing of the sort.

Sometimes, Pokémon Go borks everything up and displays different monsters merging with one another. One artist is using these glitches as inspiration for completely new (and often disturbing) creations.
