Valiant Hearts’ Trailer in Minecraft Is Both Silly And Poignant
We’ve got the first trailer for Valiant Hearts, Ubisoft’s fantastic game about World War I, with its own distinct visual style and powerful narration and music. Now, what if we take this visual style, and substitute it for Minecraft? Surprisingly, it works. Kinda. Done by Minecraft machinima group PowerTnTAllOver, the trailer remake uses custom skins,…

One-Woman Choir Takes on Game of Thrones
The finale to Game of Thrones’ fourth season had some really nice music. Now, if we take that music, and add one of YouTube’s greatest cover artists, what we get is something truly magical.

Brutal Doom Is About To Become Even More Brutal
I didn’t think it was possible, but there you go. There’s a new fifteen-minute video out for Brutal Doom’s upcoming v20 update which, sadly, still hasn’t got a release date. The clip is pretty awesome though: All those splatters. Those flying limbs and bodies. That chainsaw. It’s really amazing how much SGtMarkIV can squeeze out…

It’s A Joy To Watch This Giant Minecraft Battle Robot Move
It’s called the Mega Gargantua, and if you see it appear on the horizon, it’s probably a good time to run. The Mega Gargantua was created by Minecraft builder Cubehamster, who already has quite a few impressive contraptions under their belt (including a smaller version of this robot)—but this is something special. It’s almost mesmerizing…

Plush Elder Scrolls Pack Guar Probably Won’t Bite Your Head Off
What this cuddly pack guar will do is carry your burdens better than Lydia ever could. Pack guars have been around for way longer than Skyrim housecarls, so they’ve gotten good at this kind of thing. Gaming Heads’ new plushie is based on the Vvardenfell-native guar, specifically, its Elder Scrolls Online rendition (the only other…

These Virtual Rocks Look Damn Good
Rocks are everywhere in video games. They sit by roads, roll around as debris, make up whole rooms, or even sometimes star in their own games—they’re pretty important! So really, it’s no wonder there’s a whole, pages-long forum thread dedicated to crafting and sharing the prettiest 3D rocks. The thread, titled “Rawk – Post any…
