Ladybeard—who is onto a very good thing in Japan as a cosplayer, pin-up model, wrestler, and metal singer—was at Comiket this year, absolutely killing it as…Chun-Li. Brian posted a single shot of himin his roundup, but I thought he deserved his own showcase, since he not only posted a bunch of studio photographs in the…
Team Fortress 2 has a new sports mode, where two teams run around with a ball trying to score goals. It’s called PASS Time, and “combines TF2’s usual fast-paced bloodsport with the actual fast-paced sports of soccer, hockey and basketball”.

Just over a year after joining Amazon, designer Clint Hocking (Splinter Cell, Far Cry 2) has left the company
It’s been a solid August for FFVII cosplay, as not long after that incredible Cloud+Aeris shootwe’ve now got one hell of a Vincent Valentine. The cosplayer is Yuri Narss, aka Narcisspuppet, someone we’ve featured before for his terrific Final Fantasy work. As with his last feature, you might look at these pics and scream PHOTOSHOP,…
3DS tinkerer extraordinaire Jordan Rabet, aka smea, has (with a little help) found a really easy way for Nintendo 3DS owners to get around the company’s region-locking. Previous attempts at breaking down Nintendo’s region restrictions have required buying certain games and the installation of custom firmware, but this new method—called tubehax—is much easier; installation is…
I can’t even look at it.
Crux1836 asked his kid what he wanted for his fourth birthday. When he said “a Thor hammer…a REAL Thor hammer!”, dad had to get to work. What began as a rusted old piece of hollow square-stock: Went through this: To become this: So great. You can see more pics here

Right now, on China’s version of Kickstarter, you can back a games console called the OUYE. If you ever wanted a console that looked like a PS4 but had a controller like the Xbox One’s, it’s for you! Kidding, it’s garbage. It’s a hunk of copyright-infringing plastic that, judging from the games on show (and…
This is Final Fantasy VII: Re-Imagined. It’s an indie (read: unofficial fan project) side-scrolling beat-em-up that, recreates Final Fantasy VII as a 2D side-scroller. It’s awesome, it’s free and you can play it right now. There’s one level available as a playable demo in a browser from here, but if you’re having Unity problems there…

For years now, Mionix mice have been my primary go-to for both gaming and work. Partly for their specs, sure, but mostly for the things most important to me as someone who spends 10-12 hours a day using a mouse: build quality and ergonomics. I need a mouse that feels good and lasts for years,…
Archaeologist Andrew Reinhard has dug through humanity’s past among ancient ruins in Greece. These days, though, he digs a little closer to home. There’sa great interview on Motherboard with Reinhard—who has a Masters in archaeology from University of Missouri-Columbia—where he talks about how he’s moved his work into video games, in what’s becoming known as…
You might have noticed that the Xbox One-to-PC streaming currently on offer via Windows 10…doesn’t always look as good as you might have hoped. Turns out there’s sometimes a reason for that. And, as luck would have it, a workaround as well. Users are finding that in many circumstances, even when their internet+wifi speed should…
There’s cosplaying as Korra, and then there’s “oh man look at this it looks like she’s actually waterbending while cosplaying as Korra”. I mean, wow. It’s spell-binding cosplay-meets-rhythmic-gymnastics work from baeloid It’s from the video below, which was shot by FDSedanoArts (via imgur)
Matthew Oswald is a cinematic director and motion designer, which is a nice change from the stuff we normally featurehere on Fine Art. Instead of designing the worlds and characters in games, Oswald gets to move them around and shoot them real pretty-like. Below are some examples of his stuff. Because a bunch of people…
