Bill Walton Spent E3 Kicking People's Asses In <i>Street Fighter</i>
Video game extravaganza E3 wrapped up this afternoon, after three days of long lines, true love, on-stage derp, legitimate video game news, and the greatest redhead in NBA history laying waste to any fool bold enough to challenge him in Street Fighter.

<i>Overwatch</i> Is Salvation For Washed-Up Gamers Like Me
It’s been years since I’ve been able to enjoy playing an online first-person shooter. Back when I was a younger, worse version of myself, I used to be really good at them. I played more Rogue Spear than I care admit as a teen, and even in college I was still good enough to hold my own against Call o...

Lionel Messi Is Back On Japanese TV, Juggling Balls He Kicks To The Moon
During the same appearance on the Japanese game show in which he bested that enormous robot demon keeper, Lionel Messi sought to reclaim the world-record juggling trick he set the last time he was on the show. Unsurprisingly, he succeeded:...
Lionel Messi Takes On Giant Inflatable Demon Robot Keeper
A Japanese game show recently tested out the “Why don’t you just play with a huge goalkeeper who can block the whole goal?” theory on Lionel Messi. He showed that, even if you get a nightmarish, house-sized Miitomo-looking demon to guard the goal, he’ll still score on you....
Enjoy Nate Diaz Beating The Hell Out Of Justin Bieber In A Video Game
Justin Bieber and Nate Diaz had a weird, short-lived beef following the latter’s victory over Conor McGregor, so someone went ahead and made them fight each other in UFC 2....
15-Year-Old American Chloe Kim Wins X-Games Gold With Highest Score In Superpipe History
Remember when Shaun White won an Olympic Gold and a bunch of X-Games titles before he could buy himself a beer? Well, it looks a lot like American snowboarding has found his successor; Chloe Kim, who’s 15, and has already won a bunch of halfpipe events. Two weeks ago, she won gold in the Superpipe a...
Von Miller And Josh Norman Play <i>Doom</i> With Conan O’Brien And It’s Great
If we’ve learned anything from Conan O’Brien’s new Super Bowl tradition of picking up the sticks with two of the big game’s participants, it’s that nothing lowers the guard of famously media-averse pro athletes like ruthlessly murdering animated sprites in video games. Josh Norman and Von Miller pic...

The <i>Hunger Games</i> Are Over, But Jennifer Lawrence Is Only Getting Better
1. It seems insane to think about now, but there was a time when everyone was worried about whether or not Jennifer Lawrence could pull off the Hunger Games films. Cast as Katniss Everdeen just a year after her breakthrough in Winter’s Bone, Lawrence was considered by many an undeniable talent but a...
MLB Gets Huffy Over <i>Fallout 4 </i>David Ortiz Modification
Fallout 4 is set in Boston, so some creative soul named Richie Branson created a David Ortiz mod, and gave players the chance to bash baddies in a full Red Sox uniform. (Kindly overlook the fact that Big Papi’s actually a lefty.) It was a neat, free customization, but MLB was not as receptive....

Conan O’Brien’s new Clueless Gamer segment had him spending time with Tony Hawk and Lil Wayne as the three of them played Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5. The two guests were also quizzed on terms that were either skate tricks or sex positions. “Beef Cheeks Power Slide” should be both, honestly....
