Video games are constantly trying different ways to make you feel like the game you’re playing has exciting, tangible stakes. Some are more creative about it than others.

The practice of decorating graduation caps is often seen as a rite of passage for incoming graduates of universities and (now, increasingly) high schools in the US. Students often spend months contemplating what they will include on their graduation caps on graduation day.

This year, many chose to adorn their caps with inspiring quotes, memes and song lyrics. Others chose to incorporate elements from games that they love or find inspiring. Here are some of the stand-out gamer grad caps from this year's graduating class.

Last week, I realised I have a problem. I'd just finished browsing the Nintendo Switch's entire eShop for a second time in search of a new game. That's a weird thing to do, especially considering that I still haven't finished Breath of the Wild. I should finish it, but I can't bring myself to do it. Hours and hours and hours later, I'm bored.

In a world where each passing day seems to bring some new revelation about how rickety the support structures underlying our lives are, I'm not certain of much anymore. I can, however, say one thing with absolute conviction: I'll die before I delete Undertale from my PC.

A sudden Nintendo Direct brings with it a handful of ports that you can play on the subway or while laying in bed. Here's a list of all of the fresh ports making their way to the Switch.

An Undertale speedrun usually lasts anywhere from one hour to an hour and a half. A speedrunner looking for a greater challenge put together their own exhaustive speedrun that collects every item, ending and fights ever boss, an undertaking that took over thirty-three hours to complete.

Due out on October 10, Prescription for Sleep: Fight For Your Dreams turns pulse-pounding battle themes including those from Final Fantasy 15, Undertale, Mega Man and Transformers: The Movie into the musical equivalent of sleepytime tea.

As a Year 6 teacher, my students ask me a lot of questions, and I have a lot of influence on them based on how I reply. My upcoming book, 101 Video Games to Play Before You Grow Up, is my response to every student who has ever asked, "What games should I try?"

Undertale's stigma as a toxic fandom arose after incidents involving harassed YouTubers, pornography, and fans who plastered the internet with in-game jokes. Over time, a game that started out as heartwarming and loveable gained infamy for supposedly having one of the worst fandoms on the internet. Undertale's descent into online infamy was largely due to the pervasive thought that there was only one way to play the game.

It's a VGChat! I'm here with Kotaku's editor-at-large Kirk Hamilton to talk about Undertale, which came out for PC back in 2015, but is available today for PlayStation 4 and Vita. Hence our renewed interest.

Were you enjoying the lull in game releases over the last month or so? Well, I have good (or bad, depending how big your Pile of Shame) news. It's over. Well and truly over.

Take this week as an example. There's the console release of Sonic Mania. StarCraft: Remastered finally launches. There's the Nidhogg sequel. Night Trap is back. Undertale is getting a console launch, as is Conan Exiles and Tokyo 42. Strap in, it's getting busy.

American indie game Undertale is finally getting an official Japanese release. Good for all the hardcore Japanese fans the game has! Its localisation is already causing quite a stir.

Hit indie RPG Undertale, for the longest time available only on PC, is finally making its way to other platforms, with PS4 and Vita versions announced by Sony today.

Knuckle Sandwich is an RPG about day jobs and cults caught somewhere between Earthbound and Undertale. Need I say more?

Undertale creator Toby Fox took to social media yesterday to show off some early notes about the game's creation. The notes feature early concepts for gameplay systems as well as early sketches of some beloved characters.

Most of the games I feature here on Fine Art tend to be big, beautiful, AAA extravaganzas. Today, though, will be a reminder that no matter how simple or retro a game's visuals may be, someone still had to go and design all of its stages and characters.

And it's amazing.

For the past week, infamously reclusive Undertale creator Toby Fox has been celebrating the RPG mega-hit's first anniversary with tidbits and snippets (but sadly no butterscotch cinnamon pie). The best part? Music that never made it into the final game.

Um. So this is a thing that actually happened.
