This Is Not How Wrestling Ring Ropes Work, <i>WWE 2K20 </i>[Update]
Madden glitches are a well-covered phenomenon, but it’s officially time for a new challenger to step into the ring with its own brand of broken gameplay.

All I Want To Do Is Create Havoc As A Terrible Goose
Before last week, I had dabbled in video games the way a vegan dabbles at a barbecue: finding a single cucumber here or a slice of grilled eggplant there that I might enjoy, but always leaving unsatisfied and hungry. I played Mario Kart as a child, and Dance Dance Revolution as a preteen. In high sc...

<i>Madden</i> Glitch Season Features The Helmet Catch To End All Helmet Catches
The fact that Madden NFL 20 is available in early access is a blessing and a curse and a blessing. A blessing in that some fans get to play the game days ahead of its wide release.

Chief among these is the big bright sports bar that bo...
A Good Idea For Multiplayer Video Games
Drew wrote in this week’s Funbag about getting waxed by his own dang kid in FIFA 19.
