Ikea's build-your-own-couch feature on the site naturally got trolled and toyed with to utter perfection. It really brought out people's inner Minecraft mode. We're not so sure how conventional these couches are, but we know they were definitely fun to make.

Representatives from EA and Epic Games were on the hot seat in front of the UK Parliamentary Panel on Wednesday. They were there to combat claims that the game industry encourages addictive gambling tendencies with their "loot boxes."
One representative had an issue with referring to this in-game feature as "loot boxes" and instead wanted to categorize them as "surprise mechanics." Going on to advocate that it was a simple matter of playing into the joy of surprising gamers with cool gifts. Okay, or you could say that's the same thing as a hopeful gambler buying a few scratch-offs, and hoping to be surprised by a "prize."
This woman asked the internet if she was a jerk for breaking up with her (ex) girlfriend after she demanded she toss her whole video game collection upon moving in. Those are huge and unreasonable demands. Maybe a breakup was really for the best...
A recent study published online revealed that something is chilling about 186 miles beneath the surface of the Moon. The Twitter account for the "Destiny" video game had a point to make when CNN tweeted about it, and the thread that ensued was full of gems.
Do we think this could be the start of something far more extraterrestrial than we ever thought possible? We should just leave that shit on the moon buried and alone.
On Wednesday Nintendo released a new video with more details (check out those new Pokémon!) about Pokémon Sword and Shield which will be coming out on November 15 for the Nintendo Switch. We've put together some of the most entertaining reactions from Twitter and Tumblr to the news.
Video game glitches are GREAT. There's just something so ridiculous entertaining about watching a seemingly put together video game character disintegrate before your very eyes, or just skyrocket across the soccer field, or melt into a puddle of bizarre colors.
These troubled video games relive the gnarly moments they met their online friends, and things escalated toward disaster. Sometimes those "friendships" are best left online. You don't want to find yourself in the middle of a sketchy situation where you're already thinking about how "you're never going to do this again."

Well this is easily the saddest thing I've ever seen. These eSports "athletes" are absolutely blown away that nobody recognizes them when they mob into a GameStop. Where's the red carpet?!
Sometimes you just snap. These gamers met their breaking points in some infuriating moments many of you out there might connect with on a painful level. At a certain point it might just start to feel like certain games are designed to drive us to the edge of insanity.
Beebinch does a whole bunch of incredibly specific pop culture and meme cosplays. If you grew up watching Nickelodeon then you'll see some old faces, as well as some new faces and one incredibly old face. Big-ups for anyone who cosplays as Handsome Squidward.
