This is the trailer for RareBirdInteractive's "Sinfeld Chronicles" and while we have no idea about the content of this game other that you "have to collect the 57 Kramer Krystals and bring Kramer back to life" it looks like it's up there with the greats. That's right. Halo, Tetris, Mario, and Sinfeld.

As we all know, Tim Curry has had some pretty wild roles in the past, but his portrayal of Anatoly Cherdenko from Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 had him very nearly breaking character while delivering an admittedly absurd line.
To be clear, the gameplay itself didn't warrant all the dislikes, but a very small design fail gave this game developer a big shock. It should provide at least a little peace of mind to find out that you didn't create something as universally hated as you thought. For some game related humor, here are some gaming memes.
Even though Skyrim has been out forever, we still find ourselves booting it up on the regular just to make too many iron daggers, accidentally railroad ourselves into a stealth archer class and one-hit any bandit who dares mess with us. We love the game and we love the torrent of Skyrim memes that fell from it.
We also can't believe this Elder Scrolls game has been out for like 8 years and it's still better than ever. Whether you're in it for becoming a potion-fueled God, living out your kleptomaniac fantasies, forging a relationship with an adopted dog, or just trying not to accidentally become a stealth archer again, this game has eaten up too much of our time and we love it. Here's some memes about all the time you've wasted in Tamriel.

It's clearly no easy task to get actual NBA players to lend their voices to your game. In this case it sounds like a combination of none of these guys having a chance to read over their scripts as well as the producers trying to get everything in one take. Holy crap these are bad.

"Goodnight Mr. Snuggles, I love you." Whatever happened to 12 year olds in gaming lobbies saying they had sex with your mom? I guess they all grew up and got cats. This guy would've gotten eaten alive in a Call of Duty lobby.
Weird customers! Mean customers! People trying to trade in obviously stolen games! What may have been a haven during your own childhood, and a confusing maze for grandmas trying to find a game in time for Christmas, was a wild land of weirdness and misfortune for the employees who worked there. Here are some more customer service stories from GameStop Employees.

This video has the comedian and podcaster explaining why he's finally quitting the classic online roleplaying game Runescape. It's strange that he's hardly mentioned his addiction to the MMORPG in his comedy and interviews. Either way, we're pretty impressed with the guy for having been so into the game for all these years.
EA, the gaming juggernaut that is known for its price gouging techniques and destroying your favorite gaming studios, is making headlines after their disastrous handling of the Star Wars brand. Unfortunately companies like EA have no desire to deliver you a clean and finished product. They're vampires, and they'd rather suck you dry through microtransatcions and pay walls.
Don't be fooled by the title of EA's upcoming 'Star Wars: Battlefront 2' because the EA 'Battlefront' games are connected to the original games by name only. The games are stripped back, soul-less, shells of the original titles that literally only exist so that EA can cash in on the Disney 'Star Wars' hype.
The most recent dumpster fire lit by EA is the 'Battlefront 2' "progression" system, which is directly tied to real currency.
Before microtransactions progression systems in shooters were tied to experience which was awarded at the end of matches based on individual player performance. EA has decided to replace that instead with a system that awards all players the same number of credits at the end of a round, completely removing any element of skill. Someone could be AFK for an entire match and make the same credits as the MVP.
Here's the kicker though. Players can spent credits on either RNG loot crates or locked content. The loot crates serve as a substitute for normal progression, things that would be unlocked using XP in other games. These can be bought with real money, making 'Battlefront 2' a literal pay-to-win game.
EA further forces you to spend real money on these crates by locking content behind huge pay walls.
Want to play Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker? That's going to cost 120,000 credits, which is roughly 80 hours of gameplay. While you're saving up for those two heroes you'll have to buy the normal progression crates with your own money.
TL;DR:
EA sucks and is forcing you to pay money to unlock content that should already be unlocked or should otherwise be unlocked through gameplay. Heroes are locked behind a massive paywall.
