Here’s Uncanny Megan and Dallas Nagata White as Jawas who are a little taller than the rest. And maybe a little less prepared for the desert conditions. Photos by Ed White
pix2pix is a program that lets you draw something in a box and have a computer turn it into a photo, using…well, magic. There is now a website version of it, and it’s both the most impressive and horrifying thing I’ve seen today. ThinkGoogle’s Deepdream, only furrier. Just draw a doodle on one side, press…
It’s nofantasy landor sci-fi expanse, but it’s still impressive: a teamof Minecraft builders are recreating the centre of Chicago, one block at a time. Their work isn’t done, but what’s there is very impressive, as it captures everything, from building details to street signs to trees on the sidewalk. It’s called The Loop, and if you…
A lot of the best cosplay photos on this site come from conventions, but many of you will never have actually been to one. So here, let this guided tour of the grounds of the recent Katsucon by Felix Wong act as the next best thing.
Mostly. I can’t ever see him tweeting “………….”
The Nintendo Switch costs $300, and includes all kinds of stuff in the box. Today is a good day to remember that it does not include a microSD card, which you are absolutely going to need if you want to take advantage of the luxuries of 2017 and buy your games digitally. Nintendo Japan revealed…
For the first time in series history, Australia is going to be a playable faction in a Civilization game. You bloody ripper. I know, Australia isn’t really a Civilization, but if other “new world” countries like the USA and Brazil can get in the game then damn it, we can too. Sorry Canada. Maybe you’re…
Blackbird Interactive, developers of the excellent Deserts of Kharak, have teamed up with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory to create an interactive tour of a concept Mars base. Not the most obvious thing to reading about, I grant you, but they’re a good fit, with Blackbird’s sleek designs helping create a colony that looks real, but…
NBA superstar DeMarcus Cousins has been traded from the Kings to the Pelicans, and everybody outside Sacramento’s front office knows it’s a bad deal. It’s so bad that, if you try and do it in NBA 2K17, the game won’t let you, because it actually knows things about basketball and business. Pastapadre’s Bryan Wiedey tried…
This gif by Simon Bachmann, currently working on Pathway, marriesthe sci-fi art of Simon Stålenhag with a Lucasarts adventure game. There’s an alternate timeline out there where this is one of the best games of the 90s.
Because Rick & Morty’s third season won’t be here until the sun explodes, Cryptozoic are releasing a couple of games based on the series to tide people over. One is a board game set in Anatomy Park, the other a deck-building card game about Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind. A CTRL + F on…
LowSpecGamer, who we’ve previously seen destroying games like The Witcher 3, has done something very special to Half-Life 2, taking what it still a fairly decent-looking shooter and turning it into something that looks it came out of a 12-hour game jam. He’s gone well beyond just moving every setting to low, of course, digging…
The nice thing about Halo Wars 2 is that it works. Which is nicer than it sounds, because the biggest fear about real-time strategy games on a console, and the thing that generally keeps those games off the platforms in the first place, is that a control pad does not rank highly on the preferred…
Unforeseen Incidents is an adventure game being worked on by a small team in Germany. As is a must for 2D adventure games, it has some very nice art. The team have been sharing some of it in recent months, so here’s a collection of it, showing both the backgrounds and characters from the game.…
Hmmmmmmmmm. This is some A++ Dark Souls cosplay by Durp0012
The goal is very bad. Maybe one of the worst. But the music is perfect
This is Where Cards Fall, “a coming of age story where you build houses of cards to move through imaginative puzzles and bring vivid memories of adolescence to life”. It’ll be out on iOS, Mac and PC in the Fall.
This is a trailer for Roleplayers, a very slick-looking documentary about LARPing from the Czech Republic. The trailer has English subtitles you can enable if they’re not on by default.
When Pokémon Go was in its prime last year, many of the game’s more popular locations were parks. And some of those parks got trashed. Understandably, if also a little late (at least for Pokémon Go), local governments are now taking steps to try and stop this happening again. In Milwaukee, AP reports, one park…
