Exploding Galaxy Note 7 GTA V Sticky Bomb Mod

Samsung has not had an easy time lately, what with their exploding smartphones and washing machines, but the good news is that the worst seems to be behind them. Mostly. The Internet will make sure that the tale lives on though, via YouTube clips like this one. Here, the Galaxy Note 7 is put to good use in a fun Grand Theft Auto V mod, as a sticky bomb. Seems appropriate.

It all starts with a visit to the weapons store. There sits a shiny new Galaxy Note 7. After that, Modded Games shows us how it can be used to create all kinds of fiery chaos. Samsung surely won’t find this funny, but at least they can be thankful that real-life Note 7 owners have not come to any serious harm.

Maybe Samsung has a future creating weapons.

8 Best-Selling Video Games of 2016 So Far

Dark Souls III

Not every big title intended for 2016 has been released yet (Where are you, No Man’s Sky?!), but there’s been plenty of great video games coming out this year, topping the charts, competing with strong titles going well from the not too distant past.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End

Genre: Third-person shooter,action-adventure,platform

If this is the last game in the Uncharted series, it’s a great one, getting perfect, or close to perfect scores from almost every ranking reviewer or aggregator. Nathan Drake comes out of retirement for one last job, and finds out it’s a lot bigger and darker than he was initially told. The game is only available on the PlayStation 4

Tom Clancy’s The Division

Genre: Third-person shooter

An online-only game, The Division is set in a pretty messed up New York City following a smallpox pandemic, and your job is to help rebuild the city, investigate where the disease came from, and fight the rampaging criminal activity, in a game that combines RPG and PVP elements. It’s available on the PS4, Xbox One and PC.

Ratchet & Clank

Genre: Platform, shooter

The lovable, ongoing series is still strong among kids and adults, with the 2016 version doing very well in both sales and reviews. The game is basically a re-imagining of the original (2002), but borrowing different elements from other games in the series. It’s only available on the PS4.

Call of Duty: Black Ops III

Genre: First person shooter

The hugely successful series by Activision keeps popping out titles, with this one taking place in 2065, fighting the war of the future, instead that of the past or present. It’s available on the Xbox One, PC and PlayStation 4.

Pokken Tournament

Genre: Fighting

Basically, a Pokemon fighting game, in which two fighters battle against each other using various Pokémon, with gameplay shifting between “Field Phase” where the Pokémon move freely around the arena, and “Duel Phase” where they move relative each other similar to the Tekken games. The game initially came out in an arcade version, and is only available on the Nintendo Wii U.

Dark Souls III

Genre: Action role-playing

The next installment in the game that loves to frustrate you, with more badass enemies who change their tactics and battle style during combat. It’s been a huge hit among gamers and critics, and probably brings a fitting conclusion to the series. It’s available on the PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

GTA V

Genre: Third-Person shooter, action adventure

GTA games are a genre of their own, and long after being released, they remain very successful, in the standard version, or the online version everyone loves to complain about, but keep playing it. This time, it’s back to Los Santos, or Los Angeles, this time playing three different characters. It’s available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

Overwatch

Genre: First person shooter

Another way for Blizzard to take over the world, bringing this game out in May and doing very well since. It’s a multiplayer game, featuring a squad-based combat with two opposing teams of six players each. Most of the game’s maps are inspired by real-world locations: “King’s Row”, “Hanamura”, “Temple of Anubis” are inspired by London, Tokyo and Egypt. It’s available on the PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

For a different style of video games, check out the best Telltale has to offer, or check out the incredible Banner Saga, which is special in its own way.

GTA V Mod Brings Time Traveling Back to the Future DeLorean

There are some very cool mods for the PC version of Grand Theft Auto V out there, but I think this one takes the cake. At least it takes the cake if you love the ’80s time travel classic Back to the Future. It’s called the Time Circuits mod, which adds a script to GTA V working in conjunction with another mod that adds the DeLorean DMC-12 to the game.

With both mods installed, you can set the time circuits in that DeLorean and travel back in time. The mod even lets you choose the date and time to travel to, though it won’t actually send you back to the wild west. What changes in the game are the people, sky, time, and weather.

This may be the best way to ditch the cops ever. I hope the car has to hit 88mph before it can time travel.

GTA V Holiday Update Adds Cars, Weapons, and Christmas Outfits and Decorations

If you are a GTA V gamer on the PS4, a new update is available that adds in quite a bit of exciting new content. The update brings some Christmas decorations that you can add to your apartment, like trees and presents.

The update also ups your property count max to three properties. More exciting than being able to own more property and decorations are new weapons including a proximity mine and homing rocket launcher.

You can choose new clothing items – including some ugly sweaters and elf shoes – to dress your criminal for success.

There are also two new cars, including a Bravado Rat-Truck and a Vapid SlamVan. Check out the videos to get an eyeful of the new rides in action.

I assume that the update will land for gamers on other systems soon.
