Skyrim’s Dawnguardbetainvites are out, and now you can live out your wildest Tom CruiseInterview With a Vampirefantasy in the world of Tamriel (sans Brad Pitt of course).

Disney Infinity exec slams amiibo shortages

Calls shortages ‘irresponsible and rude’ If you, like me, got really into collecting amiibo when they launched late last year, you have without a doubt at some point come to realize that they’re really damn annoying to collect.
