The infamous Gearbox, creator of many mediocre licensed games, has now been bought by the former THQ Nordic, now Embracer Group, owned by Deep Silver, the publisher owned by the Koch Brothers. Yeah, this is why it's so hard to track down the correct owners of game IP.

Before Minecraft and Roblox, there was Garry's Mod. And Garry's back, with a fully overhauled sequel on the Source 2 engine, currently named S&box. Us old timers aren't done kicking yet.

Last week Dev-i made a big deal about Wolfwalkers, and how there's no way it'll win awards because of Soul. Now both are in the running for a Golden Globe.

Coli strains are worse parents than rats with unmodified gut biomes. What else could be controlled by your stomach? Hopefully not your video game preference.
