Love Magazine recently got an exclusive interview with Rockstar Games ahead of GTA 6 ’s release next month. While the interview focuses primarily on the love story between dual protagonists Jason and Lucia, there’s some interesting insight into the studio’s process for creating the most impressive virtual worlds ever made. For its rendition of Florida, team members spent lots of time embedding with the culture and exploring the landscape of Miami and its surrounding areas. These research trips start small as the leads scout out the most interesting locations and stories, and more team members come on subsequent trips to dive deeper into the culture, stories, and people. “Every game we make starts with research trips. It’s where to get to explore both the place and our ideas as a group,” head of development Aaron Garbut said. “To begin, a small group of us spent some time traveling from Miami through some of the surrounding towns and through the Florida Keys down to Key West. This is o...

Mighty Mike Plays dad Dave has promised refunds and issued a lengthy explanation after the internet demanded more information about the YouTube ads allegedly purchased by his son and the drama that followed. The Mighty Mike Plays saga began when a father took to YouTube to announce that his son had allegedly used his company credit card to purchase more than $118,000 in video ads. It was a painful and highly relatable story that snowballed into a full-fledged internet spectacle when pricey AI-generated T-shirts and questionable details led many online to look for concrete answers. The controversial father figure came clean in a new video titled " Allow me to Explain " that was uploaded to the Mighty Mike Plays channel last week (via Dexerto ). Dave started the hour-long explainer – which has since been deleted and re-uploaded on a new YouTube channel called Coffee Time with Dave – promising that everyone who purchased one of those T-shirts would receive a refund. “this might ...

Professional Tekken 8 player SuperBrine is going viral after reaching God of Destruction using Alisa while completely blindfolded with a sleep mask. SuperBrine has been streaming his run on Twitch in the form of seven separate broadcasts, starting in June 2026 . The final stream from this series, broadcast in early October , has become a hot topic within the fighting game community, as he was able to reach one of the game’s top ranks from Beginner while obscuring his vision with a sleep mask. It’s an impressive feat no matter how you swing it, standing as a testament to SuperBrine’s skill as a player and Tekken 8’s laudable sound design — but, perhaps unsurprisingly, his blindfolded run from Beginner to God of Destruction has sparked no end of debate about the game's difficulty and Alisa’s ease of use as a character. HERE WE ARE... First person ever to get From BEGINNER to GoD rank 100% Blindfolded on LIVE stream This took me alot of effort and time, but hell yea worth it. my whol...

Saturday Night Live weighed in on GTA 6 vs. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake with a new Weekend Update skit featuring video game protagonists Jason Duval and Link. Gaming fans were probably surprised to see two of November's biggest releases represented in SNL Season 52. The bit starred live-action versions of GTA 6's Jason and The Legend of Zelda's Link, played by Marcello Hernández and Mikey Day, respectively, and mostly saw the two icons arguing about who has the better game. Also starring Weekend Update hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che, the six-minute video game skit laid it on thick with references to stealing cars, buying RPGs, and solving puzzles in the kingdom of Hyrule.

The official social media account for the popular RPG-dating sim Love and Deepspace issued a warning to players after announcing some fictional cocktails with potentially disastrous real-world consequences if actually consumed. On September 28, Love and Deepspace revealed five ‘Shimmering Blend’ cocktail recipes as part of an in-game event, each themed around one of the game’s dashing romanceable characters. While they’re pretty to look at, you shouldn’t actually make some of these, as they include garnishes that are poisonous to humans. For example, one of these drinks is made of pomegranate juice, with a garnish of cinnamon and datura. Another features sweet peach juice with a flame lily garnish and gelatin sheets. There’s nothing wrong with peach and pomegranate juice, but these floral garnishes are making some players anxious that a fan might actually try to out the recipes themselves. Datura is a highly poisonous plant and is considered psychoactive ; when consumed, it produces si...
