Sometimes what isn’t said is most important Bethesda, creator of theElder Scrollsand the newer series ofFalloutgames, has sent out invites for its E3 press conference that takes place on Sunday, June 14.

Hell evenThe Evil Withinhas representation. So does this mean thatFalloutcharacters weren’t invited to the press conference, or does this mean that they will beon stage?...

New poll floods inboxes For weeks now, players have been sharing their frustrations with the direction ofDestiny. If you just jumped into the game recently — awesome! You have a ton of fun new stuff to do, including the base game, two previous expansions, and theTaken Kingadd-on, which is a lot. But for those of us who have been playing since vanilla, the well has run dry. Which is a shame, as it’s one of the best shooters from a technical standpoint currently on the market....

Dual Destiny’s unique party trick, though, is that it is very communication-heavyandit comes with no matchmakingandvery specifically requires a two-person fireteam....

Forum memberAttixrecently postedin this threadstating that he had got himself a copy ofPokémon Pearlfor the Nintendo DS a few days prior to its official release. Like clockwork, the standard “Pics or it didn’t happen” quote came next. In a surprising twist, an undeniable photo sprang up showing the case, booklet, and cartridge with said forum thread in the background. I contacted Attix and got the skinny on exactly where this transaction took place and how he has made children all over the globe green with envy with his stroke of luck....

Back when we finished the Extra Life marathon last year, we swore that if we ever organized another charity marathon, it would be too soon. Well, after completing this year’s gaming marathon we sort of feel the same way. But having the support of all you wonderful community members and knowing that we’ve done a lot to help children in need makes it all worthwhile. History time! In 2008, Destructoid got involved with Extra Life as Jim Sterling performed asinging marathonand raised an amazing $3,000 for charity....

That’s what we call a ‘high-percentage shot’ It’s pretty neat that Kevin Durant was able to make this dunk look as effortless as he did. But, nobody’s talking about poor Andre Iguodala, the Golden State guard that just got posterized. Actually, it’s worse because it’s a video. He got videoized. You too can bring this degree of shame to your opponents whenNBA 2K15releases on October 7 on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One....

Geek Chic While perhaps not the most popular fighter on the block, Arika’s wild one-on-one titleFighting EX Layerhas its own dedicated audience. Rightly so, given that it’s a very fun fighter. This week, fans got to check outFEXL‘s next potential roster addition, the brainiac engineer Area, in some new development footage. I say “potential,” because it’s still not a sure thing that Area will be coming toFEXLat all. Arika has been playing most of its DLC, platform ports and other post-release activities by ear, and although work has clearly begun on creating Area, Akira President Akira Nishitani notes that her appearance on the roster isn’t fully confirmed as of yet....
