Microsoft Pokes Halo Fans With Xbox One “Trailer”

Punk Sailor Moon Scouts Could Probably Kick Your Ass

Sailor Scouts are normally tough gals, what with the fighting evil by moonlight thing, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be even more badass. Case in point: this wonderful punk Sailor Moon cosplay. These pictures taken by Vivid Vision show a group of friends at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo—and yes, there are individual…

The Internet Reacts To The New Pokémon Remakes

They said Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire would never get remade. That people should just stop clamoring for them, that all the places that people saw “evidence” of a remake was just silly, desperate. It was beginning to look like Ruby and Sapphire remakes were Pokémon equivalent of Half-Life 3*. And yet here we are: Hoenn…

OK, This Oculus Rift Business Is Getting Out Of Control

There’s totally a chance that Birdly, a device which simulates flying like a bird, could be an amazing experience. But that doesn’t make this elaborate set-up, which includes a fan, a scent machine, and the Oculus Rift, any less ridiculous (in a good way). I mean, look at this thing. Don’t get me wrong, I…

Yes, Supraball might add guns to soccer, and that might sound like an awful idea—but hey, it genuinely looks like it could be fun, judging from this trailer. From the game’s website:…

If Famous Books Were Actually About Pokémon

What do the people in the world of Pokémon actually read, you think? My guess is that they’d read the same things we do, only their versions of classic books have Pokémon in them. The reason I’m giving this any thought at all is because yesterday, Nintendo tweeted out stuff with the hashtag #pokemonbooktitles: Naturally,…

Goat Simulator Does Have A Story, And It’s Pretty Dark

To the unobservant eye, Goat Simulator is simply about destroying things and causing chaos as a goat. But there’s more to it, according to the developers. (Ibrisagic is a developer at Coffee Stain Studios, the folks behind Goat Simulator, in case you’re curious.) Well then. That’s…surprisingly heavy for such a goofy game. Mind, I’m pretty…

12 Things You Might Not Know About Team Fortress 2

The Team Fortress 2 that we know and love underwent a ton of changes during development—enough that it’s fascinating to look back on the rich history of the game, if not the franchise itself.

Opening A Soda Bottle With A Chainsaw Is a Terrible Idea

File this under “don’t try this at home, kids”—this is the sort of thing that’s probably best experienced via YouTube. Because opening a bottle with a bottle opener isn’t extreme enough, Slow Mo Lab decided to use a chainsaw instead. Frankly, I’m surprised the entire bottle doesn’t just explode on contact. It’s a freakin’ chainsaw!…
