Hi. It’s Time For Cool Cosplay Photos.

We’ve showcased his work a few times here on Cosplay, but always as part of some other post, so it’s about time we gave kick-ass photographer York In A Box his own feature I love how all of his pics seem to pop, like the camera (and colour work) turns everyone into a highly-detailed action…

Some Steam Accounts Hijacked Following Security Lapse

Over the past week, a number of Steam accounts—including those of some prominent streamers and DOTA 2 pros—were temporarily stolen courtesy of a pretty glaring hole in Valve’s security.

Destiny Fans, Here’s Your Christmas Present

Oh, It’s Half-Life, Running On A Watch

R2-PS4 Looks Like The Best Way To Play Star Wars Games

This custom build, which crams a PS4 into a laptop-style case, is actually called the R2-D2 Star Wars Themed PlayBook 4. But I’m sticking with R2-PS4, because it’s not a mouthful.
