There is a new crypto currency based on Cthulhu

There is a new crypto currency based on Cthulhu

Forget Bitcoin or (wow!) Dogecoin, a new crypto currency is awakening and it demands you mine away the blocks that imprison it or whatever. I majored in liberal arts at Miskatonic U., not economics.

Aperture Tag Is A Whole New Portal Game… Without Portals

by Nathan Grayson

A Portal game without portals? “Why, that’s like removing puppies from the Puppy Bowl,” you might say. “What is even the point?” The point, fellow small dog enthusiast, is paint. Physics-affecting paints (think bouncy gel, etc) were part of Portal 2, but they weren’t the main focus. Paid standalone mod/game Aperture Tag: The Paint Gun Testing Initiative puts them front and center, and it looks like sticky, slippery, hundreds-of-feet-in-the-air-hurtling fun. It’s out now, and a trailer’s below.

Does It Matter That The TV Version Of Constantine Is Straight?

by Charlie Jane Anders

Does It Matter That The TV Version Of Constantine Is Straight?

This fall is seeing a huge crop of comic-book TV shows, and one of the most promising is Constantine. The trench-coated antihero who copes with the unsavory side of magic is getting a more faithful portrayal. Except he won't smoke. And now we're hearing his sexuality will be toned down too. Does it matter?

Another 14 Minutes Of Dragon Age: Inquisition Gameplay

by Alice O'Connor

Friends.

The last chunk we saw of Dragon Age: Inquisition was from an area we’ve seen a fair few times before, roaming around the open world-y bits of The Hinterlands. Open skies and rushing waterfalls are nice and all, but what about stone corridors with thick wooden doors, pillars, and all those castle-y bits? I understand these things are very important to fantasy RPGs. A new 14-minute gameplay video shows the Inquisitor and chums roaming through Redcliffe castle, chatting with villains, fighting a boss battle, and getting into all sorts of scrapes.

The Beautifully Grotesque World Of Guillermo Del Toro's The Strain

by Meredith Woerner

My favorite part of reading The Strain was the yuck factor. These vampires are disgusting — pieces of their body fall off and they leave trails of feces behind them. Needless to say, I'm excited to see how the TV series will handle it — but these two featurettes are quite promising.
