Fan Transforms Ganon Amiibo Into Final Fantasy VII‘s Barret
Here’s an insanely great custom Amiibo Barret from Final Fantasy VII, by artist GandaKris It’s not a 3D-printed model, but a skinned, repainted, remodelled version of the Ganon Amiibo. You can see traces of his beard in the WIP photo below, but otherwise GandaKris did an amazing job, and it’s pretty hard to recognize the…

Call of Duty: Black Ops III‘s Flaming Bow As a LEGO Replica
Quite an unusual choice for a LEGO build, ZaziNombies remade the Wrath of the Ancients bow from Call of Duty: Black Ops III’s new zombie map Der Eisendrache. It’s a bow with flaming arrows, so a couple of blocks have been sacrificed on the altar of authenticity. To contact the author of this post, write…

5,000-Piece Pacific Rim Jaeger Would Smash Any LEGO Town
Impressive mecha-building skills! LEGO enthusiast Jason Corlett built an enormous Striker Eureka Jaeger from Pacific Rim 86 hours, 5,000 pieces and the result is a huge, 2 feet tall microfig-scale robot.

New World of Warcraft: Legion Dungeon Is A Ride On A Giant Ghost Ship
The instance is called Maw of Souls, and was added recently to the forthcoming expansion’s alpha build. It’s one of the nine five-man dungeons coming with Legion and it looks really impressive! The setting is Vyrkul-themed (basically it’s Norse mythology) with appropriate misty, rocky shores and shipwrecks. Players are transported into Vyrkul hell where they…

EsportsPro Player Tries To Play StarCraft And Hearthstone At The Same Time
For most players handling one high-ranked StarCraft match would be hard enough, but StarCraft II veteran CranK managed to do all this while constantly alt-tabbing to Hearthstone Both games require quick reactions. StarCraft is extremely fast on its own (especially when you control Zerg) and Hearthstone turns have a time limit, so you can’t chill…

Recreating Space Invaders In Real Life Is Not Easy
Here’s an ambitious attempt to remake Space Invaders with an army of people, dressed as aliens as the Rooster Teeth folks trying to stop them. The saucer’s there too, although I don’t remember jammed guns and stuck carts from the arcade game. To contact the author of this post, write to: [email protected]

That’s Not How Naval Battles Work
The pirates try everything to sink the Swedish ship in Naval Action, but it’s not enough. It’s certainly entertaining though. Naval Action is a sandbox sailing game on Steam. It’s in Early Access, which is probably the reason for the unusual combat, and not reading the wrong book about the Age of Sail. via r/gamephysics…

Custom Undertale Amiibos Are Works of Art
Graphic designer Sara created some really nice Undertale Amiibo figures. Even though the game only has a PC version, these would still make sense and would look cool next to all the Nintendo ones. All the main characters are there and Sara even made custom boxes for them. Here are some close-ups, and you can…

EsportsWhen Someone Plays Smash Bros. On A Twitch Chat-Controlled Couch
Twitch had a Smash Bros. competition with an unusual challenge as an extra addition. People had to sit on a couch-shaped mechanical bull which was controlled by Twitch chat. There’s no way something like this would end well. It’s still possible to win, as Jericho’s video shows, but also pretty sure we have hit peak…

Nice Aiming, XCOM 2 Soldier
An XCOM soldier missing a nearby target? No way! The series changed a lot over the years, but it’s good to see some of the basics remained the same in XCOM 2: Even with high chance to hit, soldiers still miss enemies right in front of them easily. via r/gaming To contact the author of…

Custom Thomas the Tank Engine Toy Is A Nightmare From Hell
A custom-built Thomas the Tank Engine toy that can “walk” on walls or ceilings and its eyes glow in the dark? Just perfect to give us nightmares. Y Nakajima and his friends built something that crushes everything in the “scary Thomas the Tank Engine things” category by a mile. And the secret behind it? Luckily…

Someone Built A Playable Space Invaders Inside Dwarf Fortress
The classic ASCII-roguelike builder sim Dwarf Fortress is notorious for being unforgiving for even the smallest mistake. If you’re not familiar with the rules, it’s tough to build even simple things and not ruin everything at the same time. Still, someone managed to make a playable version of Space Invaders in it. Even the idea…

XCOM 2 Dream Team Is Ready To Roll
XCOM 2 not only supports fan-made mods, but it’s also quite easy to modify soldiers to look like someone familiar. Here’s allmightyspaceduck’s dream team of a Doomguy-looking Master Chief, Gordon Freeman, Marcus Fenix and Duke without muscles. They should be quite powerful together, but hey, it’s XCOM, even they’re gonna miss all of their targets.

An Early Glimpse of Unreal Engine’s VR Editor
The Unreal Engine will soon get VR content creation tools, and while it might sound an impractical feature at first, the live demo Epic Games shared looks quite interesting. Here’s Epic Games’ Tim Sweeney and Mike Fricker showing this new way of content creation, using a HTC Vive and an Oculus Touch, and basically building…

90s Toys Invade In Silly Independence Day Clip
Instead of an alien comeback, in Darren Wallace’s version of the Independence Day sequel, creepy toys of the same era attack our planet. Computer viruses won’t work against a crazy Barney or Troll dolls. And they’re all animated and inserted into the original trailer pretty well! To contact the author of this post, write to:…

Fan Remakes Street Fighter III‘s Q In 3D
Unlike the main characters, Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike’s mysterious Rorschach-esque fighter never got the 3D treatment. Poor Q always remained a 2D sprite and he’s never appeared in any of Capcom’s newer games ,either. So modder Pior Oberson thought it’d be a good idea to make a slick 3D version, with a similar art…

Custom LEGO Helicarrier Is Twice As Big As The Official Set
The Avengers SHIELD helicarrier is one of the largest official LEGO sets out there with its 2,996 pieces. But it’s a baby compared to the Taiwanese Zio Chao’s version His helicarrier is twice as big and made from around 15,000 bricks. And it’s still not big enough for minifigs. Something like that would have to…
