American players who are planning to take part in Evo 2015’s Tekken 7 tournament will luckily have a bit of extra time to practice for the event thanks to upcoming location tests at venues across the country. According to Steve Scott, early July will see various Round 1 centers outfitted with the currently arcade-exclusive title, giving fans the opportunity to try out Tekken 7 for themselves.

At this point in time, three specific locations have been confirmed: Puente Hills Mall in City of Industry, California; Stratford Square Mall in Bloomingdale, Illinois; and Southcenter Mall in Seattle, Washington.

If you happen to live in or near any of these cities, be sure to make the trip and spend some time with Tekken 7. This round of location tests should also serve as a great way for Bandai Namco to gauge the series’ popularity in the United States, so don’t miss out on learning more about the game and showing your dedication.

Stay tuned for more details as we near July.

Pac-Man Glitch Drops Opponents Through Stages in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

It’s no secret that newcomer Pac-Man is capable of some extraordinary stuff in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, but a recently discovered glitch may just push him towards broken territory.

While a previous bug allowed the video game icon to shoot his hydrant through platforms and even the stage to score surprise hits, this new oddity involving Pac-Man’s trampoline makes it so opponents pass right through solid ground, leaving them falling to their deaths should they not have an appropriate recovery at their disposal.

In the video below, StylesX2 shows just how devastating this glitch can be in the right hands. Sure, setting up these situations could be difficult against players who know about it, but those unaware of Pac-Jump’s game-breaking properties are in for a rude awakening if they happen to run into a Pac-Man with few scruples about how they win. Check it out and let us know what you think.

General: In Plain English: Bassett vs Electronic Arts

In Plain English: Bassett vs Electronic Arts

I run a segment on my home website MMO Fallout called In Plain English, for the sake of giving updates on recent court proceedings. My reasoning is pretty simple: The news tends to stop reporting on legal matters once they have started, and when cases can go years without a resolution, tend to forget about them. Lawsuits are long, complicated, and when it comes to news headlines, 99% of the time they’re just plain boring. A lot of motions, responses, and applications.

Elder Scrolls Online: Long Overdue PvP Changes Are Finally Happening

Long Overdue PvP Changes Are Finally Happening

The Elder Scrolls Online is now, despite a few typical launch hiccups, a multiplatform release. Other than a few console launch matters, it finally begins to feel like all of the game’s audience is being addressed again. While some felt cast aside in part due to the console announcements and stalled changes over the past three months, we’re finally at the point where new announcements can happen.
