Cuphead Fan Makes His Own Cartoon

Cuphead, a video game that looks like a cartoon, now has a cartoon based on the video game, courtesy of fan and animator hotdiggedydemon It’s more Ren & Stimpy than Max Fleischer, I know, but I guess that’s the point. If the game draws on other animation for its inspiration, no reason a fan-made cartoon…

Some Of The Best Scrabble Moves You’ll Ever See

There are professional Scrabble players. Here are some of the best of them, recounting toThe New Yorker some of their favourite moves. I expected to watch this and be floored by the words. Which I was, but my main takeaway is that professional Scrabble players seem like the nicest people on Earth.

Cosplayer Straight Up Becomes Labyrinth’s Jennifer Connelly

These aren’t 1986 press shots promoting the release of Labyrinth. These are pictures taken in 2017 of cosplayer and assumed shapeshifterAlyson Tabbitha I’m starting to think she’s wasted on cosplay. Surely there’s some Jason Bourne type shit out there that needs someone with these disguise skills to stop a nuclear bomb going off, or save…

Fantastic D.Va Cosplay Is A Working Mech Suit

Most D.Va cosplay you seeis someone wearing her jumpsuit. Which is fine, but Gryphon’s Gears was having none of that, deciding to not just build her mech, but have it be able to walk around as well. I’m going to assume he pulled up short of also adding in the ability to self-destruct if it…

Outcast’s HD Remake Was A Mistake

Playing Outcast in 1999 was a revelation. Playing Outcast in 2017 makes me think it should have stayed there. An absolute cult classic, revered for its pioneering work in the field of open world adventures, Outcast was a game that dropped you on a vast alien world and left you to your own devices. You…

Final Fantasy Cosplay Hits The Road

If there’s one place you could get a black car, hit the highway and have it look just like Final Fantasy XV, it’s Arizona. That’s where this crew (the same from a camping trip we featured a while back) headed, renting a Camaro and driving around the state for the weekend, visiting lava tubes in…

D.Va Cosplay Is Here To Destroy

Here’s JS Cosplay with an absolutely incredible take on D.Va’s Deathwing the Destroyer skin. It’s not just the costume here that nails it, it’s the photography (by CineCosu), lighting (by @justinelement), make-up work (@anhakinskywalker) and assitance (epictoastphotos) that’s on-point as well.

Like they did with underwear, and then formal evening wear, Overwatch cosplayers have once again taken their favourite characters and put a little spin on their outfits. This time, the theme is punk.
