Streaming porn web app SugarDVD arrives on Ouya this week as the Android console finally enters the consumer market, the app creator revealed. SugarDVD provides subscribers with unlimited streaming of hundreds of full-length pornographic films. It bills itself as being similar to Netflix, but for porn. Subscriptions cost $7.95 per month.

The SugarDVD porn streaming web app is already available on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, Roku, iOS, Android, and other platforms. The app is accessed through a device’s browser, where users can log in and view the streaming content. The company plans to add support for Xbox One as well once the new console launches later this year. Nothing’s been announced in terms of planned PlayStation 4 support, but given the ubiquity of the service it will be surprising if it doesn’t come to Sony’s next-gen console as well.

“With SugarDVD’s app in its arsenal, the Ouya can expect to be taken seriously in the entertainment market,” reads the company’s press release. “The adult industry has propelled technology like the VHS, DVDs, PCs, and more, thus the Ouya stands the benefit from entertainment apps like SugarDVD.”

Grand Theft Auto VI didn’t need The Game Awards

This past week was one of the most crowded for video game news because of two events: The Game Awards 2023 and the Grand Theft Auto VI trailer. Initially, I was surprised the two weren’t one and the same. GTA 6’s reveal is the most significant game announcement of the year, after all, and Geoff Keighley always seems to be searching for big Elden Ring- or GTA 6-level moments for his show, even if he doesn’t always get those. After taking a step back and looking at how each performed independently of the other, I think both were better off staying separate.
Taking center stage
When it first teased the Grand Theft Auto VI trailer in November, it said the trailer would be released “in early December.” Like many others, I assumed that this meant it would show up at The Game Awards because that tends to be the case when game developers tease an announcement for that window. For example, Focus Entertainment also said a release date for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 would be confirmed “in early December,” and that ended up happening during The Game Awards.

Ultimately, Rockstar had the GTA 6 trailer slated to release on the morning of December 5, but ended up releasing it on the night of December 4 due to a leak. The game would not go on to make any marketing-related appearance at The Game Awards 2023 on December 7. Although GTA 6 skirted The Game Awards, was leaked, and got posted earlier than intended, it was still a groundbreaking reveal.

What reviews didn’t say about the Steam Deck OLED

The Steam Deck OLED is a complete refresh of the original model. It packs the same power under the hood, but Valve touched nearly every part of the OLED model to improve on an already stellar design. We have the device in our hands now, and it has a few notable changes that go beyond performance and specs.

Our own Steam Deck OLED review is live, but we wanted to focus in on six unique aspects of the device you wouldn't find in a typical review.
The fan is new (and way better)

Why owning the best PC hardware didn’t make me a better gamer

Give it up, guys. It turns out you can have every possible advantage going for you as a gamer -- the most powerful PC, the fastest gaming monitor, the lightest of gaming mice, and the most low-profile of gaming keyboards - but if you just aren't very good, none of it makes much of a difference.

I really hoped it would, too. I've recently been dabbling in some competitive FPS (first-person shooter) play on my PC and decided to give myself every leg up my combined salary and review sample back catalog could manage. And though I'm sure it helped, I didn't receive the advantage I was hoping for.
The man
Let me set the stage for you. I'm a mid-30s, typically single-player PC gamer who hasn't taken competitive gaming seriously since the launch of Rocket League. I used to play Unreal Tournament 2004 in my teens, along with Half Life mods, some Counter-Strike 1.6, and a little Halo when we could get enough original Xboxes and TVs together. More recently, I've dabbled in the odd Call of Duty single-player campaign -- and I loved Evolve while it lasted -- but I haven't played much in the way of PVP (player versus player) FPS games for a decade or more.
