Holy Cow This Mega Man Cosplay

Stoosh’s Mega Man outfit here cost around $50 and is made mostly from EVA Foam. It is also the best Mega Man cosplay I have ever seen. Based on some art he found online then modified to look more like the Blue Bomber, it’s exactly what I’d want from a new Mega Man if I…

Beloved World Of Warcraft YouTuber Dies At Age 26

Hayven wasn’t like other World of Warcraft YouTubers. As he himself was quick to point out, his videos couldn’t teach people how to dole out DPS in raids or make rivals rage-weep in PVP. He was interested in the history of the 13-year-old MMO, and he did his best to chronicle it, even after he…
