Are you ready for this? Hell no, you're not! No one is. Today I have three, count'em, three videos showboating the agricultural extravaganza that is Farming Simulator 2013. I know what you're thinking: "But I didn't play Farming Simulator 2012!" Shut your face! It's not that kind of game.

Earth Defense Forces 3: Portable is coming to the United States as Earth Defense Force 2017: Portable for the PlayStation Vita.

First, don't panic. Second, go back up your Borderlands 2 save data. DO IT NOW! This is no time to stay calm! See that picture up there? That's your Xbox 360 save data getting splattered all over the wall by the viral graveyard.sav glitch.
