For The “Hardcore Nintendo Fan”

Look at how much postage would be if I wanted this shipped to Australia. I’m not going to link this auction, but I thought the sales pitch was funny: Up for sell is a Bottle of water from the nintendo switch event in nyc. This item is unused and in mint condition. The water was…

Civilization VI Has The Most Incredible Animation

Civilization V is one of the greatest video games of all time, and one of the oft-overlooked reasons why isn’t its “one more turn” systems or balance, but its cartoon leaders. Despite their exaggerated appearance they feel alive, and it was cool to see this aspect of the game not just retained, but improved for…

What A Broke-Ass Batman Would Look Like

This is some Batman cosplay with a difference. Rather than try to copy the Dark Knight’s appearance from any number of comics, movies or games, frigginboomtoys has decided to try something more original, and imagine “Poor Batman”. It’s from a universe where, instead of being born rich, Bruce Wayne is actually dirt poor, and has…

Drone Parkour Footage Looks Like A Video Game

These are people running around on real ground, not characters in a video game. Crazy what a certain, familiar perspective does to your feelings on some footage. The creators (it’s a collaboration between Diffraction, Astro Kit and LEAP) obviously know this, with the nods and graphics to games found in the clip, but still. It’s…

Video Games Aren’t Allowed To Use The “Red Cross” Symbol For Health

The developers of Prison Architect found themselves in a pinch of legal trouble recently when they were contacted by the British Red Cross over the game’s use of a red cross on a white background to denote health. While that may seem harmless, turns out it’s not allowed. As PC Gamer report, the famous symbol…

Another Look At That Cancelled Darth Maul Game

Lucasarts were once working on a Darth Maul game. It was cancelled, of course, like most things the post-millennium Lucasarts ever touched, but that doesn’t mean we can’t look over its concept art and wonder what could have been. Note that this isn’t the first time we’ve seen art from the project—we posted about some…

Destiny’s Exos Look Very Nice

I do not play Destiny anymore, but when I did, I was an Exo Titan, and he was a very pretty robot man. Though not as pretty as these examples, by 3D artist Mike Jensen, who actually worked on Destiny Below you’ll find a lot of sculpts of Exos, and a few of other characters/units…

Cersei Lannister Gives Zero Fucks

Crazy Stunt Brings Rocket League To Grand Theft Auto V

That…is not how cars are suppose to work. Or bridges, for that matter. Or physics. But we’re not here to worry about that. We’re here to check out this GTA V stunt video by EvolveStunting, and in particular, the bridge trick I’ve set the clip below to auto-play at.

The Nintendo Switch’s Parental Controls Are Very Cute

Roll your eyes at the idea of parental controls if you want, but some of us are parents, and will think this video (and the app) is great. The rest of you can watch it anyway, because it reveals Bowser has Peach as his damn phone wallpaper.

Subscribers To The Nintendo Switch’s Online Service Get Free Games [Update]

Like Sony and Microsoft have since learned, if you’re going to sell a console and charge for online play, you need to sweeten the deal, so Nintendo will likewise be giving out free games to anyone subscribing to its online service on the Switch. That app stuff is all well and handy, but look at…
