‘Helldivers 2’ Blasts the Doors Down With a New Western-Themed Warbond I Need Immediately

Last time on “VICE Games’ Helldivers 2 Shenanigans,” the game was so good, I had an entire existential crisis! If that’s not a mark of video games definitively being art, I don’t know what is.

“Oh? Is that a quick draw emote at the end? I can’t wait to challenge my friend to a standoff then quick draw my pocket nuke.” And some Helldivers 2 players just want to watch the world burn. But, such is the pursuit of universal democracy. Sometimes, you lose a few good ones trying to bring civility to the savage species. …What’s that? That sounds awfully similar to real-world political strife? Why, I don’t see what you mean! What’s “political” about a dominant species asserting itself over another– …Oh. Now that I’m reading it out loud, I guess you could argue a certain degree of [REDACTED].
