How did that guy manage to punch Wolverine so many times without breaking his hand? I remember that bugging me back when I first saw Bryan Singer’s debut X-Men film. Some of this other stuff, as pointed out by CinemaSins, didn’t bug me so much. But that one stuck with me. I really liked this…
Bats are blind. So, shouldn’t comic artists be able to draw The Batman with their eyes closed? Or something? That’s the theory artist Olly Moss put to the test last week at Comic-Con. Taking a note from the site Blind as a Batman, Moss asked a bunch of geek/comic notables to draw the caped crusader…
We’ve known for a little while that The Astronauts, a studio made up of former members of Bulletstorm and Painkiller studio People Can Fly, was moving beyond their action pedigree to make their new game very different. Now we’ve gotten a fresh taste of what it’ll be, and I have to say, I’m intrigued. The…
I’ve already seen this slice of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag in action. Now you can, too. I’m extra-wary of the new game after feeling so disappointed with Assassin’s Creed III And I’ll only really feel more confident once I’ve had a chance to actually play the thing. But I’m guessing you’ll agree that this…
Act fast and you can snag this hilarious Mario warp-pipe cat complex from CatistrophicCreations on Etsy. If you’re lucky, your cat will share the coins she earns. (And hey, even if someone beats you to it, these pictures are still pretty funny.) (Via Technabob)
Ah, the “fake geek girl.” A label that’s both needlessly parochial and wholly counterproductive, and yet still it’s trotted out most every day. And so comes this video from The Doubleclicks for a song called “Nothing To Prove.” It’s really great! Give it a watch. You can buy the tune here
Emmy Nominations. Every year they’re a minefield of snubs, bizarre choices, and outright travesties. Sometimes the only way to cope is by playing video games. This year, a handful of great shows were overlooked by the Emmy voters. In particular (in my opinion), FX’s terrific The Americans got ignored something fierce. And NBC’s stellar comedy…
Say you’re Bryan Cranston, the man behind Breaking Bad‘s suburban Scarface, Walter White. You’re going to Comic-Con. What do you wear? If you guessed, “A crazy-ass Walter White mask,” you guessed right! Here’s how Cranston looked on the show floor: And here’s the big reveal, at the Breaking Bad Comic-Con panel. Ha. Well played, Mr.…
Jenn Frank wrote a great review of AC:NL over at Paste. Give it a read!
Well, this is cool. And a little bit brain-hurting. The folks at AweMeChannel (previously of Duck Hunt drawing-fame) have done a new 3D Escher-inspired drawing of Donkey Kong that moves. You can watch them put it together, but that won’t make it make anymore sense once they set it in motion. Perspective! How does it…
It was raining today, so I stayed inside and watched cartoons. The mouse got away from the cat!
You’re alone on the surface of Mars, and you’re running out of oxygen. What happened? How did you get here? How can you stay alive? And what mysteries lay hidden upon the Red Planet? Those are the questions at the heart of Lacuna Passage, an in-development exploration game from Random Seed games. We’ve been following…
Most conflicts in Hyrule, the setting of the Zelda games, are small-scale. A young man enters a dungeon, fights some monsters. That’s about it. But what about the BIG Zelda wars? Those are what’s on display in Hyrule: Total War, a mod for Total War: Medieval 2. The mod has been around for a while,…
If you owned a digital watch when you were a kid, you probably played “The Digital Watch Game.” Of course, you probably didn’t call it that. You probably called it “screwing around with my rad digital watch.” But it was a game all the same. The goal? To start and stop the stopwatch as quickly…
Mitsuru! Akihiko! Yukari! So good to see you! The upcoming Persona 3 film, titled Persona 3 The Movie #1: Spring of Birth, has got a Japanese release date and a new trailer, which you can watch above. It’ll be out on November 23 in Japan. I’ve played so much Persona 4 since the last time…
Here’s a great essay from Tiny Cartridge about how loneliness inAnimal Crossingcreates long-lasting friendships
If you’ve played DayZ, you’ve probably died. A lot. And if you’ve died in DayZ, you’ve probably died in one of these locations, as highlighted by MyDayZ in this fascinating heat map: Nifty. Using our image annotation tool, note any place you’ve found it particularly easy to get shot and/or eaten. Speaking of DayZ: In…
There are so, so many ways to get around Animal Crossing‘s profanity filters. And I’m going to use all of them, until my townspeople’s catchphrases would earn this game an “M” rating.
Wolverine. Logan. The sexiest X-Man. His claws are legend. He rides a motorcycle. And he’s oh-so fashionable. From his first 1974 appearance to today, Wolverine has gone through a ton of visual overhauls. HaloweenCostumes.com‘s Kate Willaert has created a single infographic to unite all of Logan’s looks: What’s your favorite look? Are any missing? (Via…
Today during Comic-Con, Ubisoft announced a new set of stories from the Assassin’s Creed universe called Assassin’s Creed: Brahman. It’ll be a graphic novel set in India, and will introduce a new assassin to the fold. According to press materials Ubisoft sent out, Brahman will take place in 19th century India, “a land of mysterious…
