Nothing Beats A Great Gaming Dodge

A perfectly timed dodge is already a thing of beauty. Adding kick-ass slow motion afterwards makes it even better. I’m convinced there’s no better feeling in all of video games than a dodge into a slow motion action move. In games, I’ll spend all my points upgrading my dodge in hope of chasing this highly…

I Wish I Could Forget The Sims‘ Rendition Of Nelly’s ‘Hot In Here’

The Sims series has featured pop songs re-recorded in the fake language of Simlish since The Sims 2, and The Sims 4‘s Seasons expansion brought a few new ones into the mix. The game’s new version of Nelly’s “Hot In Herre” is just a whole lot. Simlish is the series’ made up language that sound…

Solo Was A Good-Lookin’ Movie

I really liked Solo! What I liked most—and don’t let this appearing in a concept art feature shock you—was how good it looked, how Star Wars everything was, from Corellia to the Kessel Run. One of the people to thank for that is Finnian MacManus, an artist we’ve featured before here on Fine Art. But…

This new project is called The Battle for Middle-Earth: Reforged, and while it shares the same name as…

Junkrat Toy Is A Tiny Terror

The Overwatch Nendoroid figures are supposed to be cute, so I don’t know what the hell is going on with this Junkrat. Maybe it’s the best they can do with the character. But I can’t look at those eyes and tongue and not think this is the cartoon lovechild of Slimer from Ghostbusters and Guy…

Log Flume Of Death Brings Joy To My Heart

The Rollercoaster Tycoon franchise still has an active, creative community, and nothing screams “I love the thrill of ‘coaster action” more than an 80 foot drop into standing water. Back in 2017, YouTube user Funzinnu did the delicate work of creating a fanciful log flume ride with one awesome drop in it. As you can…

Star Fox‘s Development Was Weird

Star Fox was made by a bunch of teens, and Shigeru Miyamoto used to smoke cigarettes. I don’t know anything about the development of the game Star Fox, so the most recent episode ofPeople Make Games was a real eye-opening when it comes to how the game came together. In the video, Chris Bratt walks…

Watching The Final Boss Of Dark Souls Die In One Hit Is Very Satisfying

It’s a hard game, with a hard final boss, and watching video of people defeating it is so, so sweet. I’m gonna talk about Dark Souls lore here. I’m gonna talk about the final boss battle. If you don’t want to know more than you already know, then stop reading. I’m serious. Throughout Dark Souls,…

‘Shop Contest: Video Game Independence Day

Independence Day is this week for Americans, and that means barbecues, American flags plastered on everything, and lots of people (who are also plastered) lighting fireworks and shooting them into the sky, into the ground, and at each other.
