A month ago, I moved into my new home. The house is a big project in itself, with lots of renovation work and plenty of TLC required. Between the DIY and the new school term, I've had very little time to game in the last few weeks. That hasn't stopped me thinking about videogames, though, which is how we've arrived at the vitally important question above.
The home you currently reside in might be your first, or your fifteenth. Regardless, at some point you will have to move. The act of boxing, transporting, and unboxing your entire life will take a considerable amount of time and effort. Whilst the prospect of living somewhere new and shiny is exciting, the act of getting there is not. When this immense event un-folds, you will hopefully have friends and family to assist you, or have hired help.
Whilst those around you will do all they can to haul you and your stuff from A to B -- and you should be grateful to them -- let's ponder how moving would be made easier by employing videogame characters. With all their power and might, skills and tools, could these virtual chaps put themselves to good use in the real world? I for one think they could. This would be a very short discussion otherwise...
Peruse my suggestions below. You'll see I've put a great deal of thought/far too much thought [delete as appropriate] into selecting the persons that I would want helping me and those that I feel would make really bad choices. After reading, I hope you'll have a few suggestions of your own.
There has been a distinct lack of sci-fi song-based turn-based role-playing games being streamed live here at Kotaku. Let's fix that with a little Ar Nosurge: Ode to An Unborn Star.

Do you remember the first time you experienced Pokémon? For me, I didn't even know what I was experiencing.
I couldn't yet read the words on the screen of my new Game Boy Color I had gotten for my sixth birthday. All I knew was that the game I was given was a very appealing yellow color with a cool looking character on the cover and it had a funny looking letter "e" in it. I hadn't even seen the show yet, as I was given the game before the anime became super popular in my little town.
I was so fascinated by the game and all of the things happening in it, but I couldn't understand the words that were on the bottom of the screen. My parents or my brother would sit down with me while I played the game and read what was being said to me for an hour or so a night. I wanted to be able to understand what was going on without any help so badly, so one day I pestered my brother enough until he agreed to explain to me what different words were and how to pronounce them all.
It's no secret that Destiny is going to get bigger in the months and years to come; Bungie has already announced two expansion packs for the game. Now, thanks to an odd-looking bug, we've gotten what appears to be a look at what those expansion packs will add.

The Power Glove was the quirkiest little peripheral ever devised for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Although if found only limited use on that platform, modern day tinkers with access to cheap and simple microcontrollers can now turn these 25-year-old video game artifacts into futuristic wearables.
What do AAA videogame developers do in their off time? If you're Dawn Rivers of Harmonix, you make more videogames. Specifically, you make a videogame for the Oculus Rift where you kiss a multi-mouthed alien until it either enters a world of romantic bliss or rejects you outright for your lacking mouth skills. Obviously.
The current build of the game is available for free right now over on itch. Being the backseat developer that I am, I couldn't help but suggest to Dawn that they add multiple aliens, a How Stella Got Her Grove Back-inspired story about reclaiming your sense of romantic empowerment, and cold sores. Lets hope my awesome ideas make it into the full game someday!
When the battery exploded inside Redditor tommyboy601's PSP , he decided his time with the Sony portable was at an end. Rather than trade it in at his local GameStop for pennies, he built a fitting memorial to an old friend.
