Here is a mod by Minecraft forum user Flammarilva which allows you to talk to Minecraft creepers/mobs… because the mod turns them into anime girls much like the ones you’d find in a Japanese visual novel. You can defeat (or befriend!) the mobs by speaking to them. There are multiple dialogue options and everything. Watch…
Good news: puzzle-platformer Fez is coming to other platforms beside the Xbox 360. No specifics beyond that as of yet.
Some people make mods to make a game more realistic. Others, to add content. Some choose to expand the game in marvelous ways. And then there are those who make mods that enable your character to be perpetually sweaty in Skyrim. Because sweaty is sexy. Obvo. Let the creator, Skyrim Nexus Mods user Xs2reality, describe…
I love games like this—games that are more about capturing an experience. Proteus was one such game—the point was to create an idyllic sensation. Slave of God by increpare games, meanwhile, tries to capture what it’s like to be drunk at a rave (allowing you to drink, to dance, to… pee, amongst other things)—and it…
Love in the time of rotting flesh, I tells ya. Here is footage of the first four minutes of the movie ‘Warm Bodies,’ (courtesy of Fangando’s YouTube account) which is loosely based on the book by the same name. The premise is that ‘R,’ the zombie protagonist, eats a young man’s brain and is then…
At first I was like ‘oh boy, this shit again. Someone lobs something across the map and it manages to connect.’ But then I saw what it connected with and how, and damn. That shit cray. Kudos, YouTube user orickjamez.
I can tell you exactly when I ruined Pokemon for myself. It was when I enlisted the help of an Action Replay and an obscure program that let me do just about anything in the game. It was like playing god. Pokemon god. And having this powerful ability completely changed how I see cheating. I…
Will Dead Space 3 be scary or not? It’s not quite clear yet. But if it is, if it manages to make some of you scream, then something might just happen in-game—if you happen to be playing on Kinect, that is. According to a CVG interview with DS3 executive producer Steve Papoutsis, it works like…
What didn’t make it into the latest Halo? According to the video above by TheHaloCouncil, which shows stuff found in the code of Halo 4, at least two armor abilities. These would be the “hacker” and “teleport” abilities. The former can undo the armor ability of your targeted victim. Say you deploy your hardlight shield:…
The television network TLC—known for gems like Here Comes Honey Boo Boo—aired a couple of specials following speed dating last year. Not just any speed dating, mind, but speed dating at nerdy events like Comic-Con. The hope was that the episodes would do well enough to warrant a full show. The premise banks on the…
Via our lovely video editor Chris Person comes this absolutely baffling video of a ‘birth’ in Second Life, an MMO. I’m not sure if this is supposed to be beautiful, weird or funny. Maybe a bit of all three. Someone out there thought it was a good idea to record this, though. The real question…
The dangers of buying used, people. According to 9News, this Christmas, the Giles family found themselves horrified after their five year old son, Braydon Giles, found racy pictures on his refurbished 3DS. Presumably, the pictures came from previous owners who utilized the system’s camera function. (…who the hell DOES that? For porn, I mean.) The…
A couple of months ago, if I started a new game—no matter what it was—I’d start off on a high difficulty. At the very least, I’d go for normal, but only if it was clear that normal would provide a challenge. I reasoned that nowadays ‘normal’ is geared toward a more general audience which may…
Clementine was probably the most powerful, emotional experience in The Walking Dead. This is how she was developed.
Sometimes what you need is a little realism in your power fantasy. If you feel that Far Cry 3 is missing some crucial realistic bits, maybe this mod is for you. Here is the “extremely in-depth Realism Mod” by Ubisoft forum user Panzerjager1943. According to the creator, this mod includes: -Damage is based on actual…
According to research, women show twice as much skin as men do… on Second Life avatars.
Meet Tweeria. It’s one of those web 2.0 social games where your real-world actions translate to in-game stuff. As the name implies, the game takes information from Twitter. Any retweets, favs, even Tweet number and follower count affect things in the game. You’re playing it right now if you have a Twitter account, actually. The…
“Like 2D Minecraft,” you say, “But that kind of sounds like Terraria!” About that. At least one of the devs on Chucklefish, the studio behind Starbound, hails from Terraria. This would explain some of the overt gameplay/aesthetic similarities between the two games. The premise here is that you’re fleeing your destroyed homeworld in a shuttle,…
I adore YouTube user Criken. I don’t understand how he manages to break games the way he does. Here he is playing Hitman: Absolution, making me feel like I put too much effort into trying to be sneaky when apparently Hitman is more hilarious when you’re sloppy about it. I’ll have to test this out…
Everything needs a little dubstep in it. Okay, not actually. But this track by Soundcloud user Rig manages to mash a whole bunch of different reaper sound clips and put them together to make an awesome dubstep track. Check it out: It’s particularly impressive when you listen to what some of those sound clips sound…
