Accountants Throw One Hell Of A Doom Party

Work is hell, but usually in just the metaphorical sense; you wouldn’t expect an office full of accountants to actually look like the kind of place you’d run through with a chainsaw saving humanity from space demons.

Overwatch Cosplay Is Also A Music Video

Look, I love cosplay photos, but this recent thing of making cosplay music videos instead is something I can very much get behind. Here’s ohmysophii as Overwatch’s McCree, and a one-minute video (shot by eugenephotovideo) is the perfect amount of time: long enough to let us actually see her cosplay in action, but not too long.

Half-Life Is Now A Top-Down Shooter

If you’ve ever wanted to experience Valve’s classic shooter as more of Hotline Miami-type of affair, this mod by Sockman111 might be something you should be downloading. It turns Half-Life into a top-down shooter by replacing the game’s first-person camera with one of two options: one tracks the player but will show ugly “voids” where…

Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil’s new right-wing President/pre-eminent Donald Trump cosplayer, has a message he’d like the world to know.

Android Is Kinda Running On The Nintendo Switch

Developers Billy Laws and Max Keller have got a rough version of Android Q up and running on the Nintendo Switch. Given the Switch’s development heritage—the console is an ARM-based tablet—it’s surprising that it’s taken this long to get a version of Google’s OS running, but the progress being made here is exciting. Not necessarily…

Super Mario RPG’s Japanese Version Is Full Of Anime Tributes

They’re missing from the English-language version, sadly, but the original Japanese release of 1996’s Super Mario RPG on the SNES features a bunch of enemies who are very into Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, Neon Genesis and even a Sega game.

Asshole Goose Delays Video Game

Game delays can be as frustrating as they are necessary, and so announcing them is awkward for everyone. Developers don’t want to disappoint, gamers just want the game, ungh! If only there was a perfect way to let the world know your game was going to be late. Oh, there is. I’m not even mad.…
