The Beatles once crooned that all you need is love, proving once and for all that the quartet of drugged-up minstrels are massive idiots.

This week’s Spring update focused on new characters, content and tournaments that’ll be coming to the game, which includes brawlers such as Rose, Oro, and Rival Schools' Akira as a guest star.

German studio Slow Bros. didn’t just vanish off the face of the planet though, as the initial demo reel for Harold Halibut showed off an early glimpse of a game that was painstakingly hand-crafted by a small team.
So how big are Dimitrescu’s feet that you perverts want to smash you in the face? Bigger than the current world record holder's stompers, by a good couple of inches.
As a remaster, Mass Effect: Legendary Edition seems to be ticking all the usual boxes for an updated collection of classic video games for newer consoles. Plays the same, looks shinier, case closed. Sounds about right, but under the hood of BioWare’s cult classic trilogy of space exploration there happens to be some fine-tuning to the product that provides more quality-of-life upgrades in addition to the upgraded graphics.
Have you ever double-checked your doors at night because something just didn’t feel secure? …
