Good news. [The Xbox One](http://www.polygon.com/2013/7/3/4490884/xbox-ones-reputation-system-will-track-behavior-over-time-group?ref=killscreen.com) will group all those foul-mouthed 13-year-olds together, so us grown-ups who play on-line can game in peace and quiet. Ugh, seriously, I mean, who would’ve thought gamers chainsawing the Locust Horde would be so immature?

> A lot of our discussions of what makes a bro eventually turned to, what would a ladybro be called?

—An amazing *Bill & Ted*\-worthy comment from [the creator of *Broforce*](http://www.polygon.com/2013/7/5/4487154/broforce-free-lives-games-steam-greenlight-bros-women-action-genre?ref=killscreen.com).

Being on *The Wire* sounds pretty much exactly like going to a public university. [Via Slate](http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/culturebox/2013/07/david%5Fsimon%5Fs%5Fthe%5Fwire%5Fa%5Fbehind%5Fthe%5Fscenes%5Flook%5Fat%5Fmcnulty%5Fkima%5Fbunk%5Fand.single.html?ref=killscreen.com):

> Gilliam and Lombardozzi… hosted epic evenings of beer and video games, including *Madden* Football tournaments…. The games would run until 5 or 6 a.m., when half the players would have to depart for an 8 a.m. call. Lombardozzi \[bragged\]… “Yeah, man, what you do is push x, x, y, x, y, y …”

[So does being a research subject down under](http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/07/130704095048.htm?ref=killscreen.com), where researchers determined that those who’ve just played a video game are less likely to help others by picking up a dropped pen.

This footage of *Hotline Miami 2*/interview with a guy clucking in a chicken mask, yes seriously, is one of the strangest promos for a game we’ve seen.

The Bungie boss almost admits to secretly overclocking *Halo*’s pistol so he could win. [Respect.](http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/07/07/bungie-co-founder-halo-and-destiny-creator-jason-jones-breaks-11-year-silence?ref=killscreen.com)

Speaking of, who says [indie games get no respect? *Rogue Legacy*](http://www.bostonglobe.com/lifestyle/2013/07/06/are-some-video-games-basically-electronic-snack-food/iPI304TZhZiEflKZtLZpHO/story.html?ref=killscreen.com), ye old-school chivalric platformer, was written up in *The Boston Globe*, who then, er, went on to compare it to junk food…? Nevermind.

Google Glass has its killer app: grocery cart *BattleShip*! We can’t tell if we’re being sarcastic or not anymore.

*See ya!*
