One of Final Fantasy’s most iconic songs doesn’t even make my top 10 favorite list. That said, it’s also one of my most cherished. What makes it special is that it’s tied to one of my fondest memories—but not in as sweet a way as you may think.

At first glance, You Must Be 18 or Older to Enter doesn’t look like porn. There’s far more ASCII than ass, and the game says its goal is to explore the awkward, scary feelings that accompany a person’s first steps into sexuality. However, last week Valve yanked it because it decided the game is porn after all.

Overwatch’s newest hero, Moira, is now playable on the game’s PC public test realm. Announced at BlizzCon on Friday, Moira is a mad scientist support hero who looks kinda like David Bowie and fires beams of pure energy from her hands (also like David Bowie). In other words, she’s mad fun to play.
KotakuBungie says it has fixed Destiny 2's infamous “Bureaucratic Walk” emote, which was allowing players to glitch through walls to access parts of the game that they shouldn’t have been able to access. A hotfix released today patched that bug and made some tweaks to Faction Rallies and Crucible scores, among other things.
