Hollywood’s Ghost In The Shell Cast Photos Apparently Leaked

We’ve already gotten glimpses of Scarlett Johansson as The Major and Pilou Asbæk as Batou. If theseleaked photos are to be believed, here is our first look at the other members of Public Security Section 9. Of course, Section 9 is the intelligence department in the Ghost in the Shell universe and headed up by…

Look At This Enormous LEGO Star Destroyer

OliveSeon, a team of Korean LEGO builders, have designed and constructed one of the most impressive Star Wars creations I have ever seen. Via Brothers Brick, their Imperial-class Star Destroyer has some frightening specs. It used around 42,000 bricks, took approximately 1000 hours to build, is 2.2m/7′3″ long and weighs 50kg/110lbs. Most impressive, though, is…

Please, Blizzard, please, give us this as an alternate option for Reaper’s ult in Overwatch. TwistedGrimTV reimagined the bane of your existence and mine with a bit less grimdark edge and a bit more fabulous flash. It really is raining men. Hallelujah.

Ten Years Later, Owlboy Is Finally Coming Out

The first post aboutOwlboy on evil-billionaire-proof Overwatch fansite Kotaku is from the year 2008. A certain Luke Plunkett tells me there are even older ones that didn’t survive a server change that same year. It’s now 2016, and the gorgeous adventure-platformer about a boy who is an owl (or perhaps the other way around) is…

How Sega Made Pixel Art In The 80s & 90s

In a 21st century world of free software, powerful computers, tablets and mice, making pixel art is fairly easy! In the 1980s, though, your favourite games had to be made on expensive and highly specialised equipment. Video Games Densetsu have gone through some old Japanese magazines and put together a collection of interviews and images…

Awesome Photos From Sri Lanka’s Comic Con

Sri Lanka had only its second ever Comic Con on the weekend, and it looked like a blast. While the cosplay community there may not be as well-established as it is elsewhere, there was still some quality cosplay on show! Even Harambe turned up (if you’ve seen a pic of this outfit floating around on…

The Most Interesting Wrestling Promo In Years Happened Last Night

Pro wrestling is an act, as many a helpful Internet commenter will point out below any article about this stuff. It’s staged. It’s scripted. The evil Russian bad guys, it turns out, are often actually Americans. Those of us who are hooked crave the moments when something might be real, when we can’t tell if…

Guy’s Mom Tries To Describe Overwatch Characters Without Knowing Overwatch

The “parents don’t know but they’ll talk about it anyway” gag is not a new one, but it remains a sweet one when the parents do a good job (and aren’t treated like idiots by exploitative kids). Like Karhall’s mom here, who was asked to talk about Overwatch characters without knowing who the hell they…

Kubo and the Two Strings: An absurdly beautiful, hand-made hero’s tale. What it is: The latest from the stop-motion wizards at Laika, whose other films include 2009’s Coraline and 2012’s woefully underrated ParaNorman What I’ve watched: Watched the movie last night. Is it good? Yeah, it’s really cool. A few things kept me from loving…

No Man’s Sky Doesn’t Need To Be ‘The Ultimate Video Game’

If you couldn’t tell by now, No Man’s Sky is not the game a lot of people wanted it to be. But what is that game, exactly? I think we’ve all, at some point or another, wished for The Ultimate Video Game. The idea of a game that caters to everyone with a deft mix…

Riot Games Co-Founder And League Of Legends Team Owner Clash Over Cash [UPDATE]

League of Legends earned publisher Riot Games $1.6 billion in revenue last year, but a public debate between community leaders is shedding light on how the game’s competitive players are financially vulnerable. Arguing over who deserves blame, Riot Games’ co-founder and a prominent League of Legends team owner are duking it out on public forums…

Final Fantasy IV Retrospective: Ahead Of Its Time

There’s a scene in Final Fantasy IV that’s always stood out to me. It centers around the elderly wizard Tellah, who starts off with a puny library of magic but eventually, thanks to divine intervention and a magical house of mirrors, remembers that he’s actually a talented badass with access to every spell in the…

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Sure Has Beautiful Wood

If you asked me how many graphics were in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, my answer would be, “a lot.” If I had to guess, I’d say, like, a hundred? Two hundred? It’s a lot, is the point. This game is often ridiculously good-looking, especially on PC. That’s particularly true when there are no NPCs in…
