D is For Destiny, A Children’s Book About Grinding In Space

Destiny, a time-consuming video game which parents can play to avoid parenting, now has an official children’s book. It’s called D Is for Destiny, and yes, it really is official: it’s the product of a team of Bungie’s artists and writers, who got together to make something that parents who love being tormented by engrams…

There are few things I am into more right now than Narcos cosplay. This kid is killing it.

Palmer Luckey, the founder of Oculus Rift, has been keeping busy since he sold the company to Facebook in 2014. One thing he’s done to pass the time, as reported by The Daily Beast, is to financially back (and be named Vice President of) a non-profit dedicated to alt-right meme shitposts.

If Nintendo Won’t Make A New Advance Wars, These Guys Will

Since developers Intelligent Systems are too busy these days on Fire Emblem (and other stuff) to make any more of their brilliant Advance Wars games, a team of Japanese developers have decided to do their work for them, announcing a new PC title that is Advance Wars in everything but name. Tiny Metal, billed as…

Some Cool Stories About The Making Of Super Mario 64

Here Are The First Trailers For The Ghost In The Shell Movie

Here’s your first brief look at Scarlett Johansson in motion in the new Ghost in the Shell movie, pointing guns and touching lady’s faces. Because movie trailers are the worst, there are actually five tiny trailers, each running around 10-15 seconds. To make things slightly more bearable, here’s the playlist version so the five clips…

Jrump is free on both iOSand Android. It’s nice seeing a game like this actually spend some time on its style and visuals!

Iceland Not In FIFA 17 After Pay Dispute With EA

Iceland, whose fairy-tale trip to the business end of Euro 2016 was one of the tournament’s highlights, should be in this year’s edition of FIFA. But they’re not, following a dispute with EA over how much Iceland’s football association would be paid for the team’s rights. While the tiny nation had never actually been in…

Look At This Borderlands PC Case

The cel-shading is so good that this doesn’t look like a photo. It looks like a 3D render that’s trying to look like a photo. It’s a custom build by Ford Ashton, a friend of drummerdks and, for now, it’s just a case, with no actual PC inside. Which is probably for the best. You…

No Man’s Sky, Recreated As A…Doom Mod

Over the course of three weeks, Robert Prest has been working on a Doom (well, Doom 2) mod that attempts to recreate much of the core experience of No Man’s Sky It’s missing some of the fancier stuff around the edges, like a seamless transition from space to planetary surface, but…for the most part, if…

EA Sports, It’s Outside The Game

Welcome to 2016, an age in which Nike and EA Sports collaborate on an actual pair of FIFA series football boots (soccer cleats, Americans). Weirdest part is: in a world where crazy/garish boot design is now the norm in this sport, these are really good. The idea with the pixels on one side and a…

Hi, The Witcher’s Triss Merigold 

A day may come when I stop posting The Witcher cosplay on this blog. An hour of wolves and shattered shields. But it is not this day. This is Madame Skunk in Triss’ Witcher 2 getup, who along with her partner Weasel cosplays in Germany as everything from Metal Gear to Borderlands to Dragon Age…

Zelda vs Studio Ghibli: A Trailer

So, Nintendo wants to get back in the business of letting other people make movies based on their stuff. The Zelda series is obviously a prime candidate, but before anyone goes committing millions to a mute live-action film, perhaps consider an alternative: a Studio Ghibli-style animated feature. Like this. This fan-made trailer is the work…

1989 Sega Game Was A Racing Monstrosity

Let’s all go back in time. Before Sonic Boom, before the Dreamcast, before the Saturn. To a time when Sega was awesome, and as famous for their killer arcade games as their console efforts.

Awesome X-Wing Miniatures Game Now Has A Campaign

The X-Wing miniatures game is very, very good. If there’s a complaint I have about it, though, it’s that there isn’t a campaign mode for more long-term play and…oh, wait, thanks to a very dedicated fan, now there is. Wonderful. First released in 2015, and created by Josh Derksen, Heroes of the Aturi Cluster is…
