Taking to the streets of Israel, filmmaker Eran Amir recorded over 300 people singing a single note. In isolation, they were just singing a single note. Who cares. All put together, they make beautiful, beautiful music. The Human Piano! [YouTube, via Laughing Squid]
In 2005-06, the Xbox 360 and PS3 were cutting-edge pieces of consumer electronics, finely tuned to deliver a premium gaming performance with the very latest technology inside. As is the way with technology, though, as components mature they get smaller and cheaper, so it’s not too bit a surprise to hear Nvidia saying the next…
Australian artist Alex Drummond has worked with many of the biggest names in not just video games, but entertainment and business. Clients and employers like Marvel, THQ, Universal, Mazda, Fantasy Flight, Games Workshop and Rare. You can see more of his work at Alex’s personal site ——— Fine Art is a celebration of the work…
Illustrator Caldwell Tanner has drawn up a series of pictures for College Humor, imagining what the house sigils from Game of Thrones would look like were those houses websites, instead of ancient warring families. They are funny not because they’re silly, but because they’re so damn true 12 Game of Thrones House Sigils for the…
Every single object in this trailer for Suda51’s Killer is Dead reflects light. It’s like the world is draped in cling-wrap. And I mean that in a good way. As someone who loved Killer7’s distinctive art style, this looks amazing. Like the world of action figures came to life, and started shouting in Japanese.
I wish this wasn’t being published on April 1. I wish I was writing this on any other day of the year, when this could possibly be a real thing that I could actually play. Draw Something: Kim Jong-Un [YouTube]
The rough 1974 draft of George Lucas’ original script for Star Wars – complete with early concept art – is being turned into a comic series
A site called Spineless Classics sells large posters of classic novels printed on a single page. You can get stuff like Harry Potter, Hamlet and even the Bible, but it’s The Hobbit that’s caught my eye. Love the forced alignment leaving space for the title and Smaug.

An ESRB listing has appeared online for Best of Playstation Network Vol. 1, a compilation – presumably shipping on Blu-Ray – of some under-appreciated classics from Sony’s downloadable service. The pack includes four games: multiplayer combat title Fat Princess, post-apocalyptic animal game Tokyo Jungle, wonderful music creator/platformer Sound Shapes and When Vikings Attack. Smart collection!…
It’s getting tiresome, we know, and aside from a gifted minority most “gags” are an annoyance (at best), but so long as people still think April 1 is a green light for them to try and be funny, other people will read websites expecting news and items of interest and instead see lies To help…
Brent Engstrom, an artist who has worked on the Garbage Pail Kids trading cards, recently tried his hand at making some video game box art. Not real box art, though. Weird, fake games that, thanks to their names and art, I suddenly want to play. Badly. Especially Deers of War. It’s like all those poor…
Despite the fact we just got a redesign, courtesy of our network paymasters at Gawker HQ, reader Tom Schwanke has ideas of his own as to how this website should look. We may never actually get to use them, but that doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate the effort! Tom’s looked at everything from our logo…
Flickr user CK Tsang has, with great patience and attention to detail, rebuilt Nintendo’s first two serious home consoles – the Japanese Famicom and Western NES – into teeny tiny LEGO models. Where his designs shine is the detail. Rather than just create the boxes, he’s made tiny control pads, tiny cartridges that slide into…
Learning to use a new TV is hard. So many settings. Why,this great story argues, can’t they gradually introduce features like a video game does?
Continuing a long and proud tradition of producing some of the only April Fool’s Day content worth a chuckle, online retailer Thinkgeek has revealed three bogus items that aren’t really for sale. What makes them interesting, though, is that sometimes these gags do end up as real products. So giggle if you must now, but…
Now that I’m back from vacation, our weekly roundup of the best cosplay from around the world may resume. And what a week to bring things back online. Some of these shots are from conventions, others are not, while one has Gordon Freeman posing in his (well, her) hallway at home. To see larger images…
This is a new TV commercial for Naughty Dog’s The Last Of Us. I share it here mostly because of the soundtrack. Whoever decided on moody acoustic guitar over pop songs or dubstep, I salute you.
Back in 2011, Idid an illustrative feature on Nicolas Ferrand, a concept artist at Eidos Montreal. At the time, I said he was working on Thief 4, but wasn’t allowed to show any of his stuff for that project. Now, two years later, he can. While it’s only three images, they’re more than enough to…
Above is apparently the “box art” for Blood Dragon, an upcoming (and seemingly downloadable) expansion for Far Cry 3. Take a good look at it. It’s as amazing as it appears unlikely, especially given our proximity to April 1, but considering the title has been rated by both the Australianand Brazilian classification boards (it has…
When Battlefield 4 was officially unveiled last week, the only release timeframe given was “Fall”. Microsoft’s Xbox 360 blog is being a lot more specific. It says that “Battlefield 4 will arrive on the Xbox 360 on October 29, 2013″, which while far from a guarantee – there’s a lot of time between now and…
