No doubt Playdead is scheming all new ways to creep us all out with its third game. Playdead is iconic for a number of reasons at this point.

Playdead has been rumored to be working on something new for a while, and now it would seem they’re looking for a little extra help with that something. They’re

Doom 64's audio engineer talks his interest in sound design, and the particulars of building dread in the former N64 exclusive title. Doom 64 was one of the most unique titles to grace Nintendo's 64-bit platform.

Developer Midway wanted to do something different than previous ports on consoles such as the Super NES and PlayStation, and Doom 64 fit that bill.

Dish Network is going to pay someone $1000 to watch 15 hours of The Office--so what's the catch, and more importantly, where do we apply?The Office officially turns 15 years old on March 24, and Dish is celebrating with this paid 15-hour marathon. Considering The Office is Netflix's number one most watched show, Dish is unlikely to have a hard time filling this role.It's not the first time a company has paid for a dedicated binge-watcher--just last year CableTV paid $1000 for someone to watch the entire MCU collection back-to-back,
