Though Awesome Games Done Quick will go on for the rest of the week, the charity speedrunning event may have already peaked with a run performed by Peanut Butter... a Shiba Inu. Using a custom-made controller and spurred by commands and treats, Peanut Butter button-pressed his way into our hearts and the speedrunning history books with his run of Gyromite in the first-ever speedrun done by a dog. Gyromite is a game where the player guides a sleepwalking scientist through his lab by pressing buttons to raise or lower…

Having roommates, while great on paper, can come with their downsides. Sure, it helps pay the rent, but where do folks draw the line where the phrase “but at what cost?” becomes an intrusive thought.Well, one line can definitely be drawn where a roommate is a snobby son (well, daughter) of a gun who not only didn’t invite her roommate to her house party, but also demanded they remove all of their toiletries so people wouldn’t touch them.
