Nintendo’s Efforts To Explain The Wii U Just Took A Turn For The Absurd

Halo 4 Will Soon Get Its Own ‘Forge Island,’ Plus Other Tweaks

343 Industries announced during a PAX East panel yesterday that Halo 4 will soon get its own version of Halo: Reach‘s Forge World map (pictured above), a feature that has been missed since 4 launched.

The Cosplay Of PAX East, Day One

The first day of PAX East brought all manner of delightfully geeky, creative costumery to the Boston Convention Center.

Now That Washington Has Legalised Pot, People Are Really Excited For PAX
