Nintendo is releasing a number of cool themed 3DSs—like this Luigi one, or the Animal Crossing one. Those real ones aren’t nearly as awesome as these fake ones, though. Currently, the Game Boy themed 3DS mocked up by VG Box Art’s Wenis doesn’t exist. It should, though—that’s one classic, minimalistic design that I’m sure people…
You know what they say—the only winning move is not to play. Luigi takes that advice to heart: last year, we showed you a video of Luigi doing nothing in Mario Party against computer opponents and winning. This time, OmegaTyrant4792 brings us footage of what happens when Luigi does nothing against level 9 AI in…
Check out Sacrilege It’s about going clubbing and formulating a “fuckplan”—the idea is to get laid. You’ll find possibly familiar figures: the one that wants you but you feel nothing for, the one everyone knows is in love with you, and so on. It’s a Twine game that captures desire well—enough that it’s one of…
Last year, we saw a prototype of a Half-Life 2 gravity gun made by NECA, a toy company previously behind the replica Portal guns. While the gravity gun replica won’t be out until June, NECA released the first official image of the final design this Monday. Take a look. From the NECA website: The Zero…
Looks like your town in Animal Crossing: New Leaf offers sweet places to shop—which, sure, is neat, but not as important as finding out that K.K. Slider’s club is called Club LOL and not Club 101. Curious name for a club, that.
Technically, these clothes by pixel artist Drew Wise aren’t ugly sweaters. They’re sweatshirts—there’s a difference. But, if you were to show up at an ugly sweater party wearing any of these, I don’t think anyone would fight you on your attire: these have the same spirit as ugly sweaters, no? Or you might just be…
Sure, you could opt to use an aircraft’s weapons when in an aircraft. Or, you can use the altitude to your advantage as a sniper, as sSantzuu does here in Battlefield 3. One of these options is more impressive, if not more dangerous than the other! I wonder which is more difficult—sniping while falling from…
Well that didn’t take long. Here’s Daft Punk’s single Get Lucky, done in the style of a retro video game by YouTuber Floating Point. For comparison’s sake, here’s the original song.
This Voxophone by YouTuber Jesse Demers won’t give you background and exposition, like the ones scattered in Columbia will. Instead, it plays back some of the songs from the game—like Girls Just Want To Have Fun. Here’s what a Voxophone from Infinite looks like, for comparison’s sake: Demers says he made the Voxophone using oak…
for(){}; is a clever use of both projector and paintings. The canvas holds the background, and the the elements a player can interact with are projected on top of that canvas—meaning, you can play a video game on a painting. Awesome. This video was uploaded last month, but the installation was put up in Kittredge…
Nowhere is a game that defies words. That first clip, which shows something a bit like a digital neon cityscape? It’s the same game as this second clip of drones buzzing near what seems to be a planet: Which is also the same game as this third clip, where we explore a pastel-colored surreal landscape:…
First there was Superheroes are for girls, too!, a website which showcased little girls who love superheroes. Now there’s also Little Girls Are Better At Designing Superheroes Than You, a website which illustrates photographs of superhero-loving little girls. They’re heartening pictures. From the website’s description: Kids are more impressionable than you, but kids can also…
What do you turn to after forging a Keyblade and a sword from Adventure Time? Minecraft, of course. People begged Man At Arm’s Tony Swatton to forge a diamond sword. So, he did. And boy howdy, is it shiny. Swatton doesn’t play video games, but that doesn’t make his creations any less impressive. Particularly so…
This weekend, Buzzfeed published an article about Homme Mystere—a lingerie line for men. Homme Mystere offers all sorts of things, from thongs, to bras (bros?) and everything in between. And judging from the promotional photography, it was determined that video games would be a good way to sell this lingerie line. Not that this couple…
The auctions following the closure of former publisher THQ are over. Homeworld, for example, was bought by Gearbox Software—as we learned earlier today. That’s not all, of course. Nordic Games, the publisher behind games like Alan Wake on PC and Painkiller: Resurrection, nabbed a good number of THQ games. Here’s the breakdown according to a…
You can’t talk about multiplayer games without having someone lament the loss of solitary experiences, of games where pesky people don’t interfere with your journey and possibly pull you out of it. Plus, people are jerks, man! Why should you have to deal with them? Can’t we just escape into our digital worlds without having…
I’m not one for eerie games, but it’s difficult to watch this trailer for NaissanceE and not become immediately entranced by the architecture. It’s a minimalistic world, yet atmospheric—the type of place you’ll want to explore (even though that’s likely a bad idea!) According to the developers, the game is a “short first person adventure”…
This is it, guys and girls. Dexter, the show about a blood spatter analyst who is secretly a serial killer, is on its final season. Last season left off on a hell of a cliffhanger. Season eight starts on June 30th, and Showtime released this two minute sneak peek. Things are getting tense. I’m glad…
Everyone has opinions about how Pokémon should be designed, but clearly, the thing that future Pokémon designs must adopt is mustaches. No question. Nicholas Poulos, who created a bunch of ‘stached Pokémon and then posted them on Behance, therefore has the right idea. Here’s some more. He calls them “Gentlemon.” Gentlemon apparently have no eyes!…
According to the BioShock Wiki, April 19th, 1874 is Booker DeWitt’s birthday. Today is April 19th. So, let’s celebrate! This obviously calls for tiaras and sparkles, if you ask me.
