Cosplayer Stars In A Honda Commercial

While these may not have been the kind of massive, expensive car ads that get on national/international TV (this is just for Northern California), it’s still interesting seeing such a big company test the waters in appealing directly to the “cosplayer looking for new, compact Japanese car” market. And before you say “she’s an actor”,…

Overwatch’s Play Of The Game Goes Full Circle

If Game of Thrones can do it, actual sports—the inspiration for Overwatch’s “Play of the Game” moments in the first place—can too. You’re going to be very sick of these by the time the next NBA/NFL/EPL/UCL seasons are done. Update: It’s happening:

The New Master Of Orion Is Pretty Thin (So Far)

Confession: I haven’t played the original Master of Orion since, like, 1995. So trying to think back to the series now in 2016, with a reboot on the way, has been a strange experience. I remember it being good. Wonderful, even. It was a strategy game that I’m pretty sure had some smart ideas about…

Overwatch Cosplay Rains From Above

This is Kiilys Cosplay as Overwatch’s Pharah. I just…don’t know where to begin.

Cut Street Fighter V Characters Included “Fighting President” And “Clumsy Cutie”

Sixteen characters made the cut for Street Fighter V, but they weren’t the only ones designed for the game. Capcom have shared some sketches of fighters who were created but failed to make the finished product, and yeah, it’s pretty easy seeing why most of them died where they did. First up is a “Clumsy…

How Game Of Thrones’ Battle Of The Bastards Was Made

Because giants aren’t real and hurting actual horses is bad, the production team behind Game of Thrones had some challenges to overcome when drawing up and filming the show’s epic Battle of the Bastards. SPOILERS AHEAD Their solution, as you’ll see in the video below, was to let Australian VFX studio Ilourafake it by blending…

Eight Years As A World Of Warcraft Guild Leader, Remembered

Disney Infinity’s Demise Also Killed A Moana Game

When Disney Infinity was cancelled, it took a lot of in-development projects with it. Some of those involved Star Wars, others Benedict Cumberbatch, but one we hadn’t seen until now (though we did at least know of its existence) is a whole playset devoted to Moana, Disney’s next animated feature film. Unlike individual figures, which…
