What Have Been Your Favorite Games for 2016 So Far?
Can you believe we’re just days away from June? We’re almost to the halfway point of this crazy year. Where did the time go? And why haven’t I made a noticeable dent in my backlog yet? Oh that’s right. Too many new, shiny games. This year I’m making an effort to spend time with my…

What’re You Playing This Weekend?
Overwatch is great and all, but I’ve got Trails of Cold Steel to catch up on. See, I’m only up to Chapter 4 of Falcom’s excellent (but slow-paced) JRPG, and I’ve gotta crank through the rest of the game in time for E3. There’s apparently a big twist at the end, and there’s no way…

Tales (Well, Cosplay) From The Borderlands
This Borderlands cosplay from Thousand-Faces is just ungh. I love how they’ve extended the cel-shading effect, letting it run off their make-up and all the way onto the outfits themselves. Photos by Insomniac Studios

OK, This Zootopia Cosplay Actually Works
Given that Zootopia is an animated film about animals, you’d think effective Zootopia cosplay would be the reserve of furries. Turns out that’s not quite the case: some wigs and subtle but effective make-up work can also get the job done. This is gnitae as Judy Hopps, TimFowl as Nick Wilde and anna_berten as Dawn…

Fallout Cosplay, Pin-Up Style
There are two ways you can cosplay as a Fallout vault survivor. One is how they appear in the actual game world. The other is how they’re depicted in the series’ pin-up posters. Russian cosplayer Galina Zhukovskaya (via Cosplay Blog) has gone for the latter.

CultureGoat Simulator Is Still Around, Now Making Fun Of Star Citizen
Against all odds, Goat Simulator came out in 2014. Against more odds, it continues to exist as a real video game that’s very dumb, but pretty fun for a couple hours. Last year, it got an expansion that made fun of zombie games. Now it’s taking aim at Star Citizen, of all things. Star Citizen…

Pro Counter-Strike Team Faze Leaves World Esports Association, Cites Lack Of Transparency
On paper, the World Esports Association isn’t the worst idea ever. Essentially, it wants to function as a regulatory body for eSports, an independent third-party that can moderate and create rules where needed. Problem is, its internal structure is a mess—a potentially very biased one. WESA is half-owned by the ESL, the world’s largest eSports…

That’s Some Damn Good Fallout Cosplay
Viverra Cosplay’s Vault Survivor outfit here took over a month to make, since all the leather parts (100% pigskin) were made by hand and every weapon and accessory was 3D-printed then finished and painted. Also: the pup, Rex, is a great Dogmeat. Photos by BTSEphoto. Rex courtesy of Intrepid Productions
