So that whole Twitch Plays Pokemon thing? It's been viewed over 7.5 million times already. At present there's 75,000 concurrent users watching, and "the total number of unique Twitch members who have participated via chat is more than quadruple that amount," according to this Twitch blog update.

In case you missed it, a Twitch channel has been setup so your commands via the chat input controls what's happening in Pokemon Red/Blue. That's 75,000 people going absolutely nowhere right now because they're stuck in that one room with the directional pads (see the screenshot). Still, it's pretty nuts.

There's a Google Doc chronicling all of the major events that have taken place so far. Plus a ton of memes have popped up for those of you that really are into this whole thing. My favorite is this Twitch channel that's applying the chat input for the Pokemon stream to this game of Tetris .

In League of Legends, Solo Queue and climbing the elo tree is a tiring thing, am I right? It really can make or break your day. Win or lose, all we really want from Solo Queue is a damn good game and a lot of the time thats really hard to find. Well I guess we also want to win in Solo Queue as well, to get up our precious little elo rank to make ourselves feel better about League of Legends and reaffirm ourselves as pros.

[Editor's Note: There's a visible dong in this video's thumbnail because you start out as a naked dude in Rust, so, yeah. I've embedded it below. Consider this your NSFW warning.]

As far as I'm concerned, this is the perfect example of players making their own fun in Rust.

When first getting started in this brutal multiplayer sandbox game, everyone is a threat. It's terrifying. And if you happen to have a friend on the same server, figuring out how to get to them without either of you dying is an ordeal. Not something I'd want to do again.

Here's that exact experience, made enjoyable by a player who has taken it upon himself to serve as a tour guide. And what a tour guide he is.

A lot of people feared that Valve was spying on them, something that is obviously how should I put it ridiculous. Valves Gabe Newell felt the need to talk about this whole thing and made it crystal clear that they are not getting your browser history and that the company does not care what porn sites you visit."

It's been a bit of a wait for Tengami, that adventure game presented in the style of a Japanese pop-up book, hasn't it?

Developer Nyamyam can take a breather this week, if only for a moment -- the game hits the App Store on Thursday, February 20. It's a universal app priced at $4.99/£2.99 and requires iOS 7. You'll need either an iPhone 4, iPad 2, fifth-gen iPod, or newer device to play.

Some of us are waiting for the PC, Mac, and Wii U versions of Tengami. Those releases are still scheduled for later this summer. Also, I had somehow forgotten David Wise was responsible for the soundtrack here which, yeah, I'm not sure how that's even possible. Silly me.

Stevivor's Steve Wright writes, "I'll be honest: I missed out on Titanfall because of a two-hour wait at E3, and I wasnt that fussed.

16BitKings - My favourite hobby has always been something that I have kept quite private, partially in fear that I would be judged by others but also because I thought I might grow out of it. Social pressures are not uncommon for anybody of any age, but it seems to me that there is definitely a stigma surrounding those that choose to spend their time with a video game. It is as I have grown older and continued to enjoy playing games that I have started to become aware of the growing pressure by society to grow up and move on. But why is there this pressure? And where does it come from?

Dtoid reader Dont Taze Me Bro reached out to me recently to bring to attention the current situation regarding Titanfall's performance for users trying to play in Australia. As it turns out, those that have been playing in the beta have discovered that they are connecting to servers based in East Asia or South East Asia, as there are no local servers at present.

"As someone who lives on the East Coast (Sydney) that means 135 - 170 ms [ping]," Donttazemebro told me. "Not ideal, but still playable ... We're used to being screwed over my MMOs, but a fast action paced shooter is a different matter. A higher latency does matter."

Respawn community manager Abbie Heppe was asked direct by another Australian-based player, and she stated that Microsoft "is building servers there now." Multiple threads have been started regarding the issue in Respawn's forums, and this specific thread has been created to consolidate everything regarding Australian players. That will be the best place to voice your concerns.

While it's a shame there won't be local servers at launch, they are on the way at least, though no specific time frame was given as to when exactly.

Dementium: The Ward was quite possibly the first survival horror game to come to the DS, and even with its flaws it was a niche success. Later, Dementium II came in 2010 and took the good bits from the first game, improved on them and established a strong cult following. Playing a horror game on the go is something which was never experienced before the Dementium series and following the success of the series, it has been re-released with upgraded visuals in Dementium II HD for PC.

GIZORAMA - Its sometimes easy to forget that the Free-to-Play pricing model was once a promising way for developers to make a ton of money, whilst still providing quality free content. Travesties like the recent Dungeon Keeper reboot have adopted the far more sinister Farmville-esque pricing model wherein players pay real cash to avoid waiting for something to happen in-game. In fact, the few games that arent abusing the F2P model are shooters - Blacklight: Retribution and Team Fortress 2 being some of the more successful examples. In many respects, Edge of Realitys new Free-to-Play MMO shooter Loadout unapologetically rips pages from Team Fortress 2s gospel of free, chaotic, gun-porn carnage. Thats not to say Loadout is a cynical aping of Valves popular shooter, rather, it is a fresh and frantic take on the MMO shooter that breathes new life into the familiar.

PixlBit | "As a huge Halo fanboy, Im happy to take any non-Master Chief content the good brand managers at Microsoft are willing to toss out there. After getting fairly hooked on the Halo novels, and finding that the universe created to support a space marine shooter was actually pretty interesting, Ive often pined for actual games that use this setting in completely new ways. Halo 3: ODST was a fantastic side-step and Halo Wars reportedly made a great effort at a console RTS, but the latest attempt to get Halo characters not wearing green body armor on your Xbox, Halo: Spartan Assault, smacks of an easy cash grab.
