Happy Wednesday, folks. One more OT from yours truly! That means some badass acoustic guitar somewhere below. A bloody compendium of all The Itchy & Scratchy Show shorts – I wish the video included the intro ditty before every snippet, though then I’d need more than 48 minutes’ worth of popcorn. The dramatis personæ of…
Artist’s Credit: Jung von Matt Readers, the OT just couldn’t keep me away. It tried, with instruments both blunt and sharp, but I’m back against all odds with a quick round-up of internet gems. A magnitude 7.4 earthquake rocked Mexico’s Pacific coast today – Thankfully, no casualties have yet been reported. You have to check…
Artist’s Credit: Glenn Rankin/Smithsonian Institution Greetings, readers. Today marks the 12th Monday—and week—of the year. Yes, that’s a dozen particularly dreadful rings of the alarm clock since your bright-eyed days of resolution-making. I don’t count the weeks, mind you. It’s just that Google Calendar allows for the display of Week Numbers. Useful? Nah, just strange.…

Check out the latest batch of screenshots for the upcoming Devil May Cry reboot. Fans might well be disappointed with the stylistic ditching of Dante’s iconic white hair (which actually does appear in his Devil Trigger mode), but there’s no denying that these images scream style. DmC: Devil May Cry releases sometime in 2012, and…
The latest developer diary for Ubisoft Shanghai’s I Am Alive goes behind the scenes of the game’s creation. A huge disaster has dragged a city back to instinctual basics, and “90% of the human race is gone.” The diary shows off a handsome amount of footage as to how you’ll survive, using what’s in your…
The latest trailer for Lollipop Chainsaw reminds us that just one bite from a zombie is all it takes to spell doom. Unless, of course, you have a loved one nearby to cheerfully chop off your head and keep it animated… somehow. Thankfully, Nick’s detached head isn’t utterly useless. It seems it can be used…
Ignorance is bliss—an adage worth keeping in mind for any Pokémon trainer. If you’ve subdued, captured, and are now deploying a faithful Diglett, just don’t ask questions. Picture its subterranean sections being identical to the cute upper-torso you see sprouting above the earth so cutely. Of course, for you trainers who simply cannot bear to…

Take a look at this awesome graffiti found in the streets of Paris. A down and out Ryu from Street Fighter is added to that empowering image of Muhammad Ali’s quickly-won 1965 heavyweight championship rematch against Sonny Liston, which these days you may see more often on the walls of college students than of boxing…
Join Michael Winslow—the noise-making star from Police Academy—on a cursory run through The History of Videogame SFX. Indeed the video is far from exhaustive, going from the blips of Pong (1972) to those of Portal (2007) without much in between: just a few other arcade legends and shooters. All sounds like a bunch of noise…
Enclosure: Infinite Hues instills peace. If petting a cat is enough to lower one’s blood pressure (which it is), then surely this browser-based game can do the same. You are tasked with converging streams of color to one point, manipulating their flow through a 5 by 7 grid. Hold a tile down and it will…

This trailer for Trials Evolution twists the Darwinian motto into “Survival of the fastest,” and truly it does seem that the spring-bound sequel will be a more sophisticated beast. Local and online multiplayer, diverse settings, and a track editor scarily reminiscent of the possibilities unleashed by Little Big Planet… well, that all sounds pretty cool.

Check out this trailer for French studio Cyanide’s Game of Thrones RPG. The video reveals the town of Riverspring, a once thriving hub of commerce now suffering recession and the death of its lord.
