Fortnite Update 9.1 Adds Tactical Assault Rifle And More
Fortnite updates continue to arrive at their usual pace, and the latest patch, v9.01, adds a new weapon and more.

The update is available now on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile. The tactical assault rifle is a fully automatic rifle with a 30-ro...[Read More]

Dragon Ball FighterZ Has Loot Boxes…And That’s A Good Thing?
As the resident Old-School Specialist of Digital Crack, I tend to be their unofficial curmudgeon. I like – sometimes love – the state video games are in now. But the old fart in me tends to come out and bemoan certain things. Loot boxes are one of those things. That’s not necessarily a maverick position for me to take; nearly everyone hates the blasted things. But Dragon Ball FighterZ is put...[Read More]
Seedi Update: Apt Name, Poorly Spelled
Back in October, I wrote about what I termed the HD Retro movement. In the article, I highlighted two systems that were seeking crowdfunding and were looking to capitalize on the current retro gaming boom. One of them, the Dreamcade Replay, was successfully crowdfunded on Kickstarter and has been generally treated favorably. The other, the Seedi, hasn’t fared as well. Its Indiegogo campaign is clo...[Read More]
Mega Man 11 Announced
I feel like I was specifically targeted. Like, Capcom wanted me to talk about a video game they were hyping up. They didn’t tell me directly, but they got me at my soft spot. It would not normally be a big deal, except that the game they decided to announce was guaranteed to get a response from me. Mega Man 11. On the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Fuck! Capcom’s been on my shit...[Read More]
Losing My Religion: Video Games, Loot Boxes, and R.E.M. in More than 3000 Words
R.E.M. sang about it. I feel it I promise that I don’t want to keep talking about loot boxes in games. But those fucking loot boxes keep showing up in my games and fucking shit up! Recently, I began to download the free trial for Destiny 2. I had been on the fence with the game, mainly because I absolutely suck at FPS games. I tried the original game back in the day, using my son’s account on my X...[Read More]
Never Played: Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite
A fun game wrapped around a bitter shell I haven’t revisited this series in a while. Why not jump in with a recent game I’ve wanted to play but refused to buy yet. My Digital Crack podcast-mate Punisher pre-ordered the Collector’s Edition for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite and picked it up with glee. In addition to getting to play the latest entry in Capcom’s Versus series, he was excited...[Read More]
Star Wars: Battlefront II Called Out for Borderline-Abusive Game Mechanics (UPDATED)
I’ve tried to stay away from the loot box shitstorm after a few articles highlighting their insidious bullshit. Apparently, EA wants everyone to keep talking about it with regards to Star Wars: Battlefront II. So I will. These bastards want the venom? I’ll dispense the venom happily! EA’s Star Wars: Battlefront II has been fighting negative publicity for a couple of weeks. Their loot box system, w...[Read More]
BlizzCon 2017: World of Warcraft and Less Important Stuff
Last year, I ponied up for my BlizzCon 2016 Virtual Ticket. I’m not posh enough to afford a trip to California, hotel stay for that weekend, and two tickets for BlizzCon (my daughter would disown me if I went without her). Besides, there was little news I cared about. I only wanted news on Overwatch and Diablo III. Those were the games I was playing. StarCraft II was nearing its end, and I never j...[Read More]
Retro Review: House of the Dead (Saturn)
Release Date: March 1998 Developer: Sega AM1 R&D Division Publisher: SEGA of America, Inc. Last year, I decided to do a Halloween-themed Retro Review. I took a look at Castlevania: Symphony of the Night because I love the game. But in a twist, I chose to look at the Japanese SEGA Saturn version. The game was different enough compared to the U.S. PlayStation version that it made it a novel revi...[Read More]
