Grand Theft Auto V can be a visual showpiece on a PC at max settings, thanks to its well-realized world and sheer impressive scope. But what if you took all those standout graphical features and made them awful? What nightmarish body horror would ensue? Unfortunately, we now know the answer.

On this episode of Potato Mode, Joey and Rob intentionally muck up the city of Los Santos. The pair start by turning all the graphical settings down as low as possible, but the result is a surprisingly decent-looking version of the game. Not content to accept defeat in their quest to destroy beautiful things, they start editing background files to manually edit the level-of-detail settings. And that’s when things get weird.

From N64-like textures and fog to cars disappearing into the ground to character models becoming faceless clay-beasts, this particular tour of the fair city is not for the faint of heart. It all ends up the only place it could end: at a strip club, where the talent has morphed into vaguely human, vaguely naked blobs.

Avengers: Infinity War dropped its official trailer today, and right on cue movie ticketing sites have flung open their virtual doors to pre-sales. Fandango and AMC have both begun taking ticket orders for the April 27 premiere, with competing tchotchkes for using their services.

Fandango users can choose one of five stylized posters from artist Kaz Oomori, while AMC viewers who catch the first 3D viewing at 6 PM will get a collectible coin displaying the Avengers logo and Infinity Gauntlet. You can check out the range of posters and the collectible coin below.

Infinity War is the culmination of Marvel’s years-long cinematic universe. It brings in a veritable gaggle of heroes from across various Marvel cinematic properties into one film to fight their looming big-bad, the space warlord Thanos. The story will be based on the Infinity War comic series from the early 1990s, and Marvel films have been hinting heavily at this ultimate story direction since Thanos appeared in a cameo in the post-credits sequence of the first Avengers film.

The new trailer (above) shows several characters across the Marvel spectrum interacting for the first time, like Spider-Man and Dr. Strange. The comics were similarly chock full of heroes, but it being a large event book against a foe with god-like powers, that also meant some high-profile deaths. We expect the movie to follow suit, so prepare yourselves accordingly. You can check out our trailer breakdown of all the easter eggs while you wait for the big day.

Nintendo is giving Switch owners another glimpse at some of the many intriguing titles on the way for the console soon. The company announced on Twitter today that it is streaming another presentation next week, this one focusing entirely on indie games coming to Switch.

The Nindies Showcase, as the broadcast is dubbed, airs on Tuesday, March 20, at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET. Nintendo hasn’t revealed how long the presentation will run, but it will highlight the “hottest upcoming indie games for Nintendo Switch.” You’ll be able to stream the Nindies Showcase on Nintendo’s website.

Aside from that, we know very little about next week’s presentation. Nintendo hasn’t specified which games it will showcase during the broadcast, although there are a a few we can reasonably expect to see, such as Runner3; publisher Nicalis recently confirmed that title will launch for Switch (as well as PC) on May 22.

The Nindies Showcase will mark the second presentation Nintendo has aired this month, following last week’s Nintendo Direct. That broadcast contained a ton of announcements about many of Nintendo’s biggest upcoming Switch games, including new details on Mario Tennis Aces, a release date for Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, and the surprise reveal of Super Smash Bros. for Switch. You can see all of the major announcements from that presentation in our Nintendo Direct news roundup.
