StarCraft II Legend “MC” Retires

Korean Jang Min-chul (a.k.a. MC) is one of the most consistent pro players in StarCraft II. Make that was, because he announced on Twitter that he’s retiring.

Chrono Trigger Characters In LEGO Form

LEGO builder Matt De Lanoy picked an unexpected theme for his latest creation: Chrono Trigger! He built the classic JRPG’s quest hub “The End of Time” and filled it with all the main characters.

World of Warcraft Starting Zones as Travel Ads

Artist Dcmjs decided to design a gallery of travel advertisements using World of Warcraft starting zones. They’re the perfect candidates after all: Relatively calm zones with unique themes, and everyone who played WoW visited at least one or two of them and probably thought what it’d be like to visit them in real life. Here…

Final Fantasy VII Scenes That Would Look Crazy In The Remake

The announcement trailer of Final Fantasy VII’s remake showed a slightly darker and more realistic world compared to the 1997 game. And with an aesthetic like that it’s almost impossible to imagine how some of the crazier parts of the original game would look. Take Cloud’s cross-dressing scene for example and compare it to the…

Very Early Screenshots Of World of Warcraft

Outland as a single zone instead of an expansion, Undercity without the undead, main characters without textures… Blizzard’s Dave Wilson shared some screenshots on Twitter from the early development years of World of Warcraf.

Fan Builds Goonies Pinball For The Movie’s 30th Anniversary

Mike Johnson’s custom table might be the only Goonies-themed machine in the world. While the theme of the timeless classic The Goonies seems perfect for a pinball machine (it has skeletons, pirates, treasure, and adventure, and it’s from an era when pinball was very popular), no company ever made one. So this one’s just perfect…

The Opening of Full House Remade In GTA V

Michael, Trevor, Franklin, Lester. They’re one big family after all, just like the cast of Full House.

Check out the side-by-side comparison…

LEGO Enchanted Forest Is Like Something Out Of A Ghibli Anime

The quirky rooftops, the unique color palette and the giant windmills make César Soarez’s and Hugo Santos’ massive 500,000 piece build not just a generic medieval fantasy set, but rather something like a scene cropped out from an 80s or 90s anime. There’s so much going on it’s really easy to get lost in this…

Rare Magic: The Gathering Tournament Card Sells For $14,900

Player Pascal Maynard found a relatively rare card during one of the biggest Magic tournaments of the year. And while it didn’t fit his deck strategy, he kept the card and put it up on eBay. Because of this and because thousands saw it live, the card sold for a crazy amount of money. So…

Pixel artist Jonroru made his own giffy version of Splatoon. This one looks like a SNES platformer or something for handhelds and not a Wii U game. The gameplay probably wouldn’t make sense in 2D. But it looks good! Dayshot is an image-based feature that runs every morning, showcasing some of the prettiest, funniest game-related…

Dude Plays Team Fortress 2 Using Only Voice Commands, Fails Miserably

YouTuber Jerma tried to play Team Fortress 2 by using only voice commands. While this might sound comfortable in theory, the end result is a complete disaster. It’s something similar to “Twitch plays” videos or seeing bots play on very easy difficulty. Here’s the montage of his journey below. The VoiceBot commands are laggy as…

If Michael Bay Directed Neon Genesis Evangelion

Shinji doesn’t only get in the robot in Michael Bay’s Evangelion, but completely overreacts to the awakening of the Angels. ADHD transformed everything in their latest animation into an explosive mess: The story of this version wouldn’t be confusing at all, that’s for sure. But the characters, especially Shinji, would. To contact the author of…

Vice City Looks Beautiful Using GTA V‘s Engine

If Classic Games Had an Impossible Difficulty Mode

Instead of making some classic games harder using the usual methods—more difficult and faster enemies, timed levels, broken controls—the folks at Dorkly created a special, rather unfair mode for games that weren’t necessarily famous for being impossible. Here’s Pac-Man, Sonic, Harvest Moon, RollerCoaster Tycoon (no fun allowed edition), Street Fighter, Solitaire (hey that game can…

World of Warcraft Professions Wouldn’t Make Much Sense In Real Life

Not that anyone had ever complained about it—in a game where you can loot gems and rifles from boars—but it’s still funny to see them in a different perspective. Here’s DarkLegacyComics’ take on enchanting. Enchanters in World of Warcraft turn gear we don’t need to dust and all kinds of essences and then use that…
