Imagine a future Nintendo. One that finally relents to shareholder pressure and starts releasing its games on mobile phones. This fake trailer tries to sell that future, and if you’re a Nintendo shareholder, it’s enough to get you weak at the knees. If you’re anyone else, though, reactions may be less pleasant. MarioLinkSamus made this…
This 28-minute Sega CD commercial, masquerading as the pilot episode of a teen TV series, hasn’t been seen in decades. Almost as though it’s been waiting, beneath the dirt, for the world to finally be ready and able to process just how 90s it was. Dug up and uploaded by Chris Bieniek, every second of…
Much like myself, K-putt has spent the last year taking screenshots of video games. While mine are of Crusader Kings II menu screens, though, his are of a whole range of games, and they are absolutely gorgeous You can see his entire collection here, but he also shared a “best of 2014” roundup. They’re not…
Look, LSPD, Michael and Trevor and just trying to have a deep & meaningful. They’ve got some issues to talk through. Can you save the bullets until they’ve hugged it out? You’ll want to skip to 1:20 if the video doesn’t automatically do it for you. Grand Theft Auto V Funny Glitched Scene [YouTube, via…
Rick Boer, King of Metal Gear Cosplay, returns with a new take on the series that leaves his regular Snake gig behind for someone a little fancier. If you think this Revolver Ocelot shoot has been heavily photoshopped, nope. That’s hardcore make-up work, all of it applied by Boer himself. Photos here taken by Nathalie…
Skyrim may be a video game from 2011 – like dogs years, this makes it almost old – but it’s still one of the best-looking video games on the planet, as you can see in these incredible screenshots. They’re part of a collection called Dawn’s Beauty – The Landscapes of Tamriel, which has been put…

Christmas in Australia is weird. It’s the middle of summer, but folks still want to eat hot turkey, and there are pictures of snow everywhere. It’d be nice if we could just be more real about it. Like this mad Max-inspired image by Russian artist Igor Sid. You can see more of Sid’s work at…
Struggling to find a host or two for your next advertisement-driven video game awards show? Maybe give Mega 64 a call. Of course, this “game of the year” video goes on for too long and strays wildly off-topic, which should be terrible, but *looks at this website banner* yeah it’s just fine!
I’ve seen plenty of folks cosplay as Mad Moxxi, but none have pulled it off quite like Mono Abel has in this shoot. I think it’s the pub. More cosplay shoots in pubs, please.

Sony’s PSN service had some problemsover Christmas.

If there’s a point you cease cosplaying as a character and start actually becoming them, Jen from Soylent Cosplay is pretty much there with this Liara T’Soni outfit. Well, “outfit” doesn’t really do the whole thing justice, because while the outfit itself is great, it’s the make-up and prosthetic work that steals the show. If…

Continuing a fine tradition of developers finding creative ways to punish pirates, Croteam – developers of the excellent Talos Principle – have decided they’ll just trap them inside an elevator. Forever. The original posts on Steam have since been deleted, since they deal with piracy, but NeoGAF user Ryo Hazuki capped one discussion while it…
Shenanigansen’s Owl Turd Comix looks at life, death and video games in a way that would push an artform closer to a religion. In a good way.
Mateusz Urbanowicz, aka Mattō, is a Polish artist currently working in Japan at Comix Wave Films animation studio.
