Cheers To This Witcher 3 Cosplay
TophWei is a cosplayer from Russia. She is not, as you may have guessed, a living Witcher 3 screenshot. Photos here, as in thatlast (NSFW) Witcher shoot we featured, by Victoria Milligan. I love that it’s not just Ciri in character, but her alt outfit.

Cosplayer Could Lose An Eye After Contact Lens Mishap
A lot of cosplayers use coloured contact lenses to help them match the appearance of their favourite characters, but that use has a downside: when something goes wrong, it’s going wrong somewhere that’s both sensitive and pretty darn important for the cosplayer. AsHouston Press reports, cosplayer Johnny Hybrid is now painfully aware of this. While…

The Art Of Offworld Trading Company
I quite liked Offworld Trading Company, and part of that was down to how good the game looked. For what could have been a very dry game (it’s basically a stock market simulator), it looks great, almost cute, with a wonderful, toy-like quality to the units and landscape. So it’s a pleasure to be able…

What Video Game Would Actually Make A Good Movie?
Oh dear. Seems video game movies are having a really bad time of it as always as of late. Angry Birds got fried. The Warcraft movie and its orcs apparently have no real bite. Ratchet and Clank needed fixing. And I’m running out of even more terrible ideas to use in this word play exercise.…
