Oh Hey, It’s A Laser Cutter… Using A Wiimote

The Wiimote’s fantastic design makes it useful for a lot of weird projects, like this one by Martin Raynsford. He’s using the Wiimote’s built-in infrared camera to control the laser in a laser cutter. It’s a funny little hack (via Hackaday), proving that a fishing rod isn’t the weirdest thing that could have a Wiimote…

Street Fighter EX Character Gets A Badass Tribute Video

It’s an awesome combo video with a twist: Street Fighter veteran Desk used Street Fighter IV’s Mexican luchador El Fuerte and one of the game’s new horror costumes to recreate the goofy fan favorite from the EX series. He even remixed Skullomania’s theme to make it perfect. To contact the author of this post, write…

Real-Life First-Person Shooter, Controlled Through Chatroulette

RealmPictures’ concept was to build an immersive first person shooter level, and let unsuspecting people on Chatroulette take control of the protagonist. They had to make it perfect for it to be immersive, but it’s safe to say they succeeded. Their first level took place in a garden, so this second one is a huge…

Overwatch Has Some Cool Easter Eggs

Blizzard’s team-based shooter is now in beta, and those who played on the Japanese-themed map Hanamura, could discover a location with a bunch of silly arcade cabinets Super Siege Mode 3 is a nice reference to the Metal Slug series and The Lost Vikings VI is something similar to the shmup mini-game from the StarCraft…

Artist Completely Redraws Final Fantasy IV‘s World Map

Final Fantasy IV’s pixelated original overworld and all the locations on it got a beautiful facelift from artist TJ Townsend. Now it looks like a proper world map from a modern JRPG. And he recorded the entire process and shared it on YouTube. Pretty cool to see how it all came together. The best part…

Army of Darkness As An NES Metroidvania Game

The setting and the story of the third Evil Dead movie would have been perfect for a Metroidvania game. Something similar to the first Castlevania. We never had one, so CineFix imagined how it’d look. The biting Necronomicon would have been a tough boss fight, that’s for sure. And instead of a whip, Ash would…

2,500 World of Warcraft Gnomes Raid The Orc Capital

The end of October is a time when everyone in WoW is busy doing all the Halloween events, but it’s also a time when thousands of level 1 Gnomes meet up in Booty Bay every year and they all run to the other faction’s capital to have some fun. Around 2,500 people showed up for…

That’s A Big LEGO Star Destroyer

Star Wars’ giant, 3730 feet long Venator-class Star Destroyer, a ship mostly used during the Clone Wars, compressed into a similarly huge 6 feet long LEGO version by builder Alec_D Gotta love all the tiny turbolaser turrets and the engine units, very nicely designed.

Guy Beats Ocarina of Time While Blindfolded

Runnerguy2489 showed us already during AGDQ 2015 that he’s no stranger to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time by playing the first three dungeons with a blindfold on. Now he completed the entire game, Water Temple included, with the same method. It took him around 103 hours to beat it, but even watching the…

StarCraft II‘s New Deadly Tactic: Rushing With Pylons

Cannon rushing, a popular early game tactic, was just the beginning. With a patch already out and Legacy of the Void on the horizon, get ready for even more aggressive Protoss, rushing and beating you with the most basic thing they can build: Pylons. An update a few weeks ago added the ability to the…

Korean Soldiers Find A Way To Play Hearthstone During Military Service

South Korea’s mandatory military service is a tough one. The length of service is around 21 months, applies to males between 18 and 35, and it’s not a place where games like Hearthstone are allowed. Except if you’re a dedicated fan like these soldiers who, unable to play the real game, made their own version.…

No, It’s Not A Good Idea To Use Snake’s Abilities In Real Life

Mega64 is back with a new video, messing around with Metal Gear Solid V features, trying to rocket punch everyone on the street with Snake’s Bionic Arm. No one gets fultoned, it’s just a ton of disapproving reactions, as always. 27 of them to be exact. Enough for Rank S! To contact the author of…

Dragon Ball‘s Broly Wreaks Havoc In A Superb Stop-Motion Film

Must have been hard to do stop-motion with a huge figure like SH Figuarts’ Broly from Dragon Ball, but it wasn’t an issue for YouTuber counter656 Broly’s fighting with a Super Saiyan Goku and some… Gundam robots (they’re very good cannon fodder).

World of Warcraft Players Discover Secret Cave With Pet Inside

Although WoW is a huge game, it doesn’t have many secrets. Fans datamine everything before a patch or an expansion goes live and immediately share it online. Sometimes tiny things do remain hidden though. But only for a few weeks. Terky the Murloc was one of those Asia-only pets, not added to the game on…

Someone Built A LEGO Safe With A Working Combination Lock

LEGO builder Jason Allemann has proved that 3-number combination locks aren’t that complicated, and a few carefully assembled LEGO bricks are enough to create one. It’s a pretty smart build as you can see in the video, designed to be impossible to take apart without knowing the combination… or without using a hammer. Time to…

Cool Custom Counter-Strike Map, Inspired By Quake

Map design that resembles classic deathmatch maps? Check. Lava? Check. Red-clouded skies? Check. Grey stone walls? Check. Zool’s custom CS:GO map, F4ST Castle, is a pretty good attempt to recreate everything that made Quake good. Looks like a fun place to mess around where even enabling auto bunny hop would be acceptable. To contact the…

The most imbalanced StarCraft unit isn’t in StarCraft. It’s this Colossus, recreated in Besiege, by TheAmazingTwist. It’s imbalanced… in a different way: Pumped up the power of the balloon in the middle to about 60, otherwise it would crumble under its own weight. The downside is that it makes everything bouncy. I started off wanting…

Badass World of Warcraft Mount is Totally Worth Running Old Dungeons

The tiny patch 6.2.3 is about to hit the World of Warcraft test realms soon, and while there won’t be any dramatic changes to the game, Timewalking Dungeons will get a pretty cool-looking reward. Timewalking, a feature that let us revisit old 5-man dungeons at level 100, was introduced in patch 6.2, and while running…

Enthusiasts Created A Giant Roman Empire Display From LEGO

British collective Brick to the Past built a historical LEGO display that’s probably one of the largest ever made. It’s a recreation of Hadrian’s famous wall at Rome’s northern frontier. The display has two sides. A Roman side behind the wall with a temple, a bathhouse, milecastles and a beautiful town. And there’s a Celtic…

Darkest Dungeon, Red Hook’s unique (and dark) dungeon crawler, one of the most popular (and darkest) Early Access games on Steam, finally got a release date for its full version: January 19, 2016 To contact the author of this post, write to: [email protected]
