Awesome Games Done Quick have finished some difficult games over the last few days, but surely none are as tough as Animal Crossing, a game that doesn’t even have what you’d call an “end”. Still, Forstride is going to give it a shot. Deciding that you can complete what the game wants you to complete…
Like any other game on Earth, League of Legends suffers from lag. Being the biggest game on the planet, though, means LoL can actually do something about it, and is launching an ambitious plan to build its own network. UPDATE – Riot tells Kotaku that, while this announcement concerned the US specifically, “we are currently…
Hey, guy! People are trying to play awesome games here, quickly! What’s the big idea, gettin’ all emotional and stuff! But seriously, this is very, very sweet. This speedrun of Mischeif Makers earlier today was brought to a stop when Jackafur gets down on one knee and proposes to his girlfriend Kittyrawr. Her response? Best…
Zombie Studios, opened all the way back in 1994, has closed its doors. Best known for its work on the original Spec Ops games and Blacklight series, Zombie also did a lot of licensed stuff, from Zork games to Saw. For once, the reason for a studio closing down is not “run out of money”…
Strategy games on the PC aren’t – Civilization aside – known for their sense of style (though some are trying to change this). I may be biased because I’ve spent so much time staring at it over the past few years, but I think Crusader Kings II is one of the prettier examples. It may…
So many skulls! So much black! So much blood! Let’s imagine a world where, instead of trying to look badass, metal albums wanted to look more like…jazz albums. This collection of fantastic images is the work of Brazilian artist Rafa Melandi, and takes some of the best damn metal albums of all time – Master…
Last year was marredby a number of major video games releasing in varying states of disrepair. Whether it was online woesor hilarious bugs, it was not the best year for the developers responsible, nor was it for the consumers stuck with busted games. Why, though, is it happening? Why are companies risking their credibility and…
Real Life Peter Griffin, the world’s greatest Peter Griffin cosplayer and impersonator, hit the big time last year. Now he’s back, and we get to meet the man behind the man. This video, shot by BOOM! Big Pants, documents Peter’s (real name: Robert Franzese) visit to the New York Comic Con last year, and we…
If you don’t like belts and crazy hair, Final Fantasy VII’s aesthetic might not be to your liking. Here, then, are some artist’s ideas on what Final Fantasy VII could look like. These pics were done by the community at Brainstorm, just like the Batmanimages we posted last year. The rules were they could take…
If you find this disgusting, you’re missing the point. In this clip spotted by Laughing Squid, Bill Gates – formerly of Microsoft, now of Saving The Planet – takes a look at the Janicki Omniprocessor (which Gates is helping fund), which sounds like something out of a sci-fi version of SimCity, but as you can…
Europe often gets a bum deal when it comes to Nintendo gear. So it’s cool seeing the company throw the region a bone with this gorgeous new 3DS handheld, one that’s as beautiful as it is limited. Some members of Club Nintendo in Europe – not all of them, says Eurogamer– are being invited to…
So last night, I was playing Game of Thrones. A six-player game, an absolute epic, which took almost six hours to finish (there was a lot of combat). Playing as the Lannisters, I spent nine of the game’s ten turns hovering between 3-4th place. Out of the running, under the radar. Exactly where you want…

Tom Votava’s score of 4,678,440, a Mario Bros. world record that has stood since 2009, has been smashed by Florida man Steven Kleisath, who earlier today set a new high score of 5,424,920. Having been playing the game since the mid-80s, Kleisath’s score was set on an original coin-op machine. “I feel amazing,” he told…
About the only thing better than Bee & Puppycat is when Bee & Puppycat’s creator Natasha Allegri starts drawing Nintendo sketches Peach is lovely, but it’s those Toads that steal the show. So cute. Gonna pinch some cheeks, give ’em a big cuddle. (via Tiny Cartridge)
Christian Bechinie’s LEGO Rube Goldberg machine uses dominoes, tiny basketballs and some slides to do that same “everything but nothing” thing that all Rube Goldberg machines seem to manage. I get a little disappointed in the headline that this isn’t something I can buy, but that might change: the project is up on LEGO’s Ideas…
WarCraft: Armies Of Azeroth is a StarCraft II mod that’s looking to essentially remake Blizzard’s classic Warcraft III. Which doesn’t really need remaking (WARCRAFT II KINDA DOES), but hey, nicer visuals are always welcome. The developers seem to be Russian, so there isn’t a lot of English-language information available outside a sparse Facebook page, but…
When it was first announced, I was worried that Crusader Kings II’s Way of Life DLC would be bad news for my spare time and even worse news for my sleep levels. I was right to worry. CKII is a game that, for all its aloofness, was absorbing enough already. From the outstandingcore game to…
We’ve seen people over Twitch play Pokémon. Now see a game of Pokémon “play” Twitch. Earlier today, the TASbot team at Awesome Games Done Quick’s marathon was able to hack a copy of Pokemon Red, get access to the Super Game Boy that was playing it, then get into the Super Nintendo that Super Game…
We last featuredNick Carver’s work in 2012, when he was still involved in what would become Blizzard’s Overwatch. He’s since moved onto something with more robots in it. While still at Blizzard, in his spare time he’s now working on a project called Bounty Hacker, which will hopefully one day be a video game but…
