Sorry for the somewhat critical takes below, but if you are actually submitting these to The Hard Drive, I want to be honest.

I feel like some of these could be snappier. The game bundle one could reach the punchline a lot faster. Like, 'Tough Predicament: Gamer Already Owns 5 Games in 1000-game Charity Bundle.' We don't really need to know the gamer 'wants' this bundle, as that's already implied by the Tough Predicament phrasing. It feels kind of clunky.

And with the horse one, I get the concept but don't actually see a joke. Instead of telling us they 'got nothing nice to say,' I think you should show us. Like, I don't know, "I Never Needed to Double Jump": Epona Sparks Horse Feud. Not that I think my alternative here is very good, but the headline feels more like a premise than a fully-realized joke. Outright needing to say "Torrent The Double-Jumping Horse" for the joke to work feels clinical, so there has to be a better way to phrase it.
