I never knew how much the world needed a Japanese role-playing game starring Kanye West—not until I came across Kanye Quest 3030. Now, the trailer for the game looks rough—in the way that most RPG Maker games do. But that’s surface-level stuff; we’ve seen heavy-hitters made with RPG Maker before—think To The Moon or Actual…
Last time we checked in with Evan McIsaac, he was dancing and lip synching to “Do My Thing” by Estelle and Janelle Monáe…all while dressed like Sailor Moon characters. Now he’s back with a number to accompany to Hi Fashion’s “Amazing.” It’s terrible. And that’s exactly what makes it amazing. I can’t get over how…
Let me tell you, I’ve done some fantastical things while playing games. Saved the world. Visited galaxies. Destroyed evil—you know, that sort of thing. And yet none of that has baffled me as much as the idea that there’s a game where I accrued a home mortgage and was able to sit down and go,…
Typically “larp”—which stands for “live action role playing” game—is one of those words that can outright kill the mood. (No offense, larpers!) But this? This sounds a-ma-zing. The Verge reports that some larpers took a retired naval destroyer and used it as the setting for a real life Battlestar Galactica role-playing game. It’s an offshoot…
Last night, after a grueling episode of Game of Thrones, a good number of people swore they would never watch the show again. Take a look at the retweets on thisTwitter account, which chronicles the extreme reaction to the Rains of Castamere episode, to see what I mean.(Don’t visit the link if you’re trying to…
What you’ll initially notice about My Ex-Boyfriend The Space Tyrant is one of two things: the “Approved for distribution by the Ministry of Homosexual Pornography” screen on the trailer, or the sometimes nearly naked hot men prancing about. This, I assume, is intentional—the recently-launched Steam Greenlight page boasts that My Ex-Boyfriend is the “gayest game…
Last time around, we showed you what some Game of Thrones stars would look like in stereotypical 90’s fashion. The artist, Mike Wrobel, has returned with some more characters in this style. Excellent. Of course I would think this is excellent, since this batch includes two of my favorite characters. But, c’mon, Brienne as a…
Save the Date is one of the more clever games I’ve played in recent memory. It’s a visual novel with a simple premise: go out to dinner with someone. Well, it should be simple, except every time you try it, the dinners turn into scenarios that would be right at home in the Final Destination…
It’s mesmerizing to watch AweMeChannel do 3D chalk art of Duck Hunt at high speed. Not only that, but they also animate the chalk art at the end to make it look like the Duck Hunt is “playable.” Very awesome. Duck Hunt 3D Chalk Art [AweMeChannel]
Last time we took a look at The Stomping Land—that DayZ-like survival game, only with dinosaurs—we learned about the general ideas behind the game. This time around, we have a couple of videos which detail hunting tactics, setting up camp, and customization options and more. So far, still looks great. Of course, I’m less interested…
We’ve been covering the delightful A Hat In Time for a while now, but not only have the developers recently launched a Kickstarter to help fund the development, I also finally got a chance to play it. Now I can tell you that without a doubt, this is project worth supporting. If you’ve not heard…
“Both kink and games involve and even require co-operation and trust: between the player and the author, between the players themselves, between someone experiencing pain and someone inflicting it.” Game devs Porpentine and Merritt Kopastalk about the intersection of kink and video games over at Trash Babes.
Sure, the original version of Get Lucky is catchy—but Pharrell’s smoothness is no match for K.K. Slider’s animalese vocals. It’s not even a fair fight. This video by Alex Romeroproves it. Awww yeaaaah. Truly, K.K. Slider has come a long way: (Source unknown, but can update this post if that changes.) Get Lucky feat. K.K.…
This isn’t old-school Mickey Mouse—no, it’s Fleish & Cherry in Crazy Hotel, a puzzle-heavy adventure game with a fantastic art-style. Look at this animation. It’s so pretty. The premise, according to the Steam Greenlight page: In Toonville, Fleish the Fox is the star in vogue, featured in all the shorts recorded at this city where…
To be fair, there aren’t a ton of Game Boy masks out there. A Game Boy isn’t exactly something people like to wear on their face. Even so, this badass cyberpunk Game Boy mask is something else. According to Tiny Cartridge, it’s a part of Tsuyoshi Morita’s Game Boy inspired collection, Thunderbox. If that sounds…
If Tony Hawk didn’t land the 900, apparently the consequences would be so dire that the entire world would become a psychedelic skating wonderland according to Perfect Stride. Also the laws of physics would break to the point where you can now skate on the ceiling. Seems legit. The developers call Perfect Stride a “first-person…
Why would someone make a gif of a pizza Asari dancing on top of a pizza? You ask the wrong questions, my friend. The real question should be: what music would go best with this gif? Two picks from me. Let’s start with the silly, almost too easy one: G I M M E P…
From the outset, Fuse feels like a familiar game—it mixes some of the best ideas from a bevy of other titles into a futuristic third-person shooter. Think Borderlands meets Bulletstorm with a dash of Uncharted. That sounds sweet on paper, but Fuse proves that it takes more than a list of good ideas to make…
Last time we checked in on Miiverse, some players were having trouble with Super Metroid. We shook our heads. We snarked about them damn spoiled kids. But at least one of those folks— PaulyU—persevered and finished the game. Here’s the spoilery proof. Hooray! Granted, he stumbled on his way there. …a lot. Apparently these are…
The new season of Arrested Development is out on Netflix—all fifteen episodes of it. You’re not “supposed” to, but you could watch the entire season right away if you wanted. I’m guessing at least some of you did just that. Binge-watching something on Netflix isn’t uncommon. If a show hooks you well enough, and you…
