The Internet makes us stupid. The Internet makes us lonely. The Internet makes us less productive. The Internet makes us unhappy. Surely you’ve heard any one of these claims? Last year, tech writer Paul Miller felt burned-out on being constantly connected, on being overloaded with information. Maybe there was something else out there? Something people…
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon not only has strong words about violent video games, it also features our favorite pizza-lovin’ turtles. If you’d like to see them yourself, GameFrontwalks us through how to access this easter egg in the video above. Unlike ‘scientifically accurate Ninja Turtles’, the Ninja Turtles in Blood Dragon seem rather cute.…
This scenery? That’s the bulk of what you’ll see while trying to survive in Gods Will Be Watching. The premise is simple: you’ve got 40 days until you can be rescued. You have a crew, which you have to feed and keep sane. You have a radio, which you’ll want to fix. Naturally, as you…
“We do not want to make a dark and hopeless world. We are not doing Blade Runner.” Here’s CD Projekt RED on Cyberpunk 2077 over at IGN. Though the developers haven’t shown anything particularly concrete, gameplay-wise, the title still sounds intriguing so far.
Looking at the demos and previews for Aliens: Colonial Marines, it’s difficult not to notice just how much better they look than the final product. Bullshots are one thing—in this case, arguably, Aliens had false advertising. Now there’s a class action lawsuit claiming exactly that according to Polygon. The plaintiff, who cites California civil and…
Obliterate what you once thought of the Ninja Turtles by watching this gross, NSFW exploration of what ‘scientifically accurate Ninja Turtles’ would be like. Truly, Animation Domination High Def has a twisted mind. I had no idea real turtles were so…unpleasant. Eww. SCIENTIFICALLY ACCURATE NINJA TURTLES | ADHD [Animation Domination High Def]
How do you explain to someone why being a nerd is awesome? Well, here’s Will Wheaton’s moving take, delivered during a talk at the Calgary Comic & Entertainment expo—where Jennifer Black asked the actor, writer, and starship sidekick to break down why being a nerd is so awesome for her recently born daughter. Wil Wheaton…
Then they’d probably look a little like these digital art pieces by deviantArt artist KaiKoa—also known as Cami Sanders. It’s a weird crossover for sure, to mix Pokémon and Game of Thrones, but it actually works! The one above is obviously Charizard, the most fitting Pokemon for House Targaryen. Here it is in full: Tentacruel,…
It was a long time coming. I’ll tell you why. These creatures have gone into space. They’ve conquered our lands. They’ve…actually, I don’t know what the fuck is going on here. And now, finally, they’ve made their way into Animal Crossing: New Leaf—the low key life simulation game where you become mayor of a town…
We already suspected that Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima had a thing for Ryan Gosling (who doesn’t?) after Kojimasported Drive’s iconic jacket. But Kojima’s admiration for the hunky star is apparently big enough that he’d love to make a game with Gosling in it. Place Beyond The Pines is a “motorcycle stunt rider turns…
After the Minecraft sword and Kingdom Hearts keyblade, you’d think that Man At Arms’ Tony Swatton is only interested in straight-up weapons. Not so! He can forge shields too. Shields…which also double as weapons. Apparently, some parts of this shield are as hard as a ruby—and a ruby has a hardness of nine (versus a…
The plan is simple. Get in, grab all the money, get out. Everyone has a role in this heist, and if we do our jobs correctly, nobody sees us and nobody needs to get hurt, see? Thing is, when you’re playing Monaco—the fantastic class-based co-op stealth game—things don’t always go according to plan. That’s not…
Being a fan is a powerful thing. Fans can modifya game’s ending. More recently, a fandom’s excitement was responsible for turning a 30 second clip into a full-fledged anime series—even though the studio didn’t initially have plans to expand on the clip. If the Swimming Anime could do that, then Little Witch Academia should be…
Last week,io9 brought to our attention Evan MacIsaac—a man who recorded himself cosplaying Sailor Moon in construction paper costumes while performing “Do My Thing” by Estelle and Janelle Monáe. That video, which you can watch above, is just the tip of the Moon Stick. You have no idea how much this guy loves Sailor Moon…
But they sure make amusing speed dates according to this video by worldofheroes. Aww, now I feel mean. Even supervillains need love, people! Not that superheroes are much better… In any case, here we are. It’s the end of the week. Have a good one? Got any plans for the weekend? Feel free to talk…
Virtual reality is the next big thing in gaming, and the Oculus Rift is a VR headset which promises to bring immersion to the next level. Overall, the Rift looks like a cool experience—but as this this video by Brendan Caldwell shows, people can look quite silly while using it. The video comes fromEVE Fantast…
This might seem obvious to some, but it’s still kind of sad: as people grow older, they tend to care about video games less according to Facebook data. Do you think this will happen to you?
IGN found what is possibly one of the worst iOS games ever: Super Monster Bros. It’s this Mario-Meets-Pokémon game that tries its best to charge you for everything. One wrong tap and all of a sudden the game asks you to buy a hundred dollar jump ability or a Charizard rip-off. Watch: That much money,…
A month ago, the fandom around the “Swimming Anime” was based on an anime that wasn’t real. Fans didn’t care. They gave the characters identities, backstories, fan-art and more—all based on a 30 second clip! Some dismissed these efforts as ridiculous, but it seems it has paid off: the anime is now becoming a reality.…
It wasn’t always like this. I used to like Cheetos—adore them, really—as a kid. But kid Patricia also liked Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles and Donkey Kong 64, so clearly I was a stupid kid. I’d say I know better now, but that’s not quite accurate. It’s difficult to escape Cheetos: they’re considered the epitome of…
