Blizzard’s company headquarters in Irvine is a big, fancy place. So big that it has its own Starbucks, selling coffee with a Blizzard twist. While the main menu is of course the same as any other Starbucks, the specials at the moment are based on WoW: And Overwatch: And StarCraft: As you can probably tell…
Tsutomu Nihei’s Blame!, first published in 1998, is a masterpiece in comic story-telling. Its 2017 animated adaptation, recently released on Netflix, is nothing like it. Blame! the manga is a sprawling, desolate exercise in environmental story-telling, about a gunman wandering the ruins of an endless cyberpunk cityscape. It doesn’t have much to say, and makes…
Street Masters: Rise of the Kingdom is an attempt to take the underlying design of games like Double Dragon and Final Fight and turn them into a board game (with a lot of miniatures). Designed by Adam and Brady Sadler, it’s for 1-4 players, and features both an “arcade mode” (for quick and random action)…
Here’s Neverending Dreamz with the best damn Lucio cosplay you’ve ever seen (or heard). That music you hear in the video below isn’t coming from the con; it’s coming from the gun, which is an 8-inch subwoofer with two 4-inch speakers on either side. It plays music from his phone, and both the gun and…
The Innoventions pavilion at Epcot is still around, but it’s a bit blergh in 2017. In 1994, though, it was the future, and a big part of that was getting to enjoy Sega in its prime. Which we can all do now, thanks to this video. It was shot by iretrogamer’s dad during a vacation…

There was a potentially serious event at the Phoenix Comicon over the weekend that saw prop weapons banned from the showroom floor. Which would wreck your cosplay plans if, like these guys, you couldn’t improvise. Up top is Amorongand her husband thedocdorlooking great as D.Va and Soldier 76 from Overwatch. That cardboard might not look…
Blizzard’s MOBA throws all the company’s famous properties into the one game, which means the artists tasked with imagining Heroes of the Storm’s look got to have some fun smashing everything together. Below you’ll find a selection of art that went into the game’s production, from characters to skins to environments, along with links to…
Pixel God Paul Robertson has drawn up an exhaustive catalogue of Australian Pokémon based on national foods, sayings, places, plants and animals, some of which could kill you, some of them which (probably) wouldn’t For those outside the antipodes who don’t understand many/all of these, niboswald has started annotating them so that you can read…
Here’s Stooshwith something you don’t see every day: clown cosplay. Specifically, Pennywise from Stephen King’s It It’s the new Pennywise, not Tim Curry’s immortal version, which I’m kinda glad for, because the 1990 clown with this photography might have been a bit too much. We’ve featured Stoosh here before for his awesome, reimagined Mega Man…
Pilgrim is a mod for Fallout 4 that takes Bethesda’s Commonwealth and turns it into something you’d see in a game like Silent Hill It doesn’t add new much new content, so there won’t suddenly be quests to chase down chainsaw-wielding hick families or bog witches. But what it does do is overhaul the game’s…
Here’s an interesting little series of interviews with a crew of Westerners who live in Tokyo and play Street Fighter III, an 18 year-old arcade game they don’t really have regular access to back home.
