Star Fox Fan Animation Is A Love Letter To Classic Cartoons

The official Star Fox anime isn’t the only animated short that came out recently.

Dark Souls As A 1996 PlayStation Game

The graphics would be simpler, but the aesthetics, boss tactics and the overall experience would be similarly painful. Or at least that’s what Veselekov and his friends imagined, if Dark Souls III was released back in 1996, after the first PlayStation’s launch.

It’s 2016 and Japanese People Are Lining Up for an Arcade Game

Not just any game at that, but the Kantai Collection arcade game. Awesome! Kantai Collection, or KanColle, features anime girls that represent warships.

Diablo III’s Skeleton King is Ready to Pound You Into the Floor

His Majesty King Leoric of Khanduras was already a decently badass-looking boss in Diablo III, especially considering his lowly status as the game’s first unique boss. Well, here, he’s on a whole other level. This piece of 3D fan art was done using… Zbrush for modeling, maya for retopology and rigging, substance painter for textures…

The biggest change in World of Warcraft: Legion? No, it’s not the redesigned PvP system. There’ll be a new gold cap, increased from 999,999 gold to 9,999,999. That applies to guild banks and AH transactions as well. Good news for everyone sitting on 11 characters already and not-so-good news for people trying to bid on…

College Students Punished with Emoticons

A professor in China apparently made his late students write out 1,000 emoticons by hand after being late to class. ┐(‘～`；)┌ As reported on The Straits Times, CNBeta and ShanghaiIst, this went down at the University of Electronic Science and Technology in Chengdu, where one rather strict professor thought this was the best way to…

The Original Yu-Gi-Oh! Crew Returns for One Last Ride

Yugi and his friends’ story may have ended a decade ago, but there is still one last chapter to be told in the new animated film Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions. Back in my early college days, it’s safe to say I was into Yu-Gi-Oh! I had the cards, played in tournaments, and even…

That Time Ridge Racer Got Its Own Super Weird Controller

There have been some weird controllers made for video games over the years. Namco’s NeGcon was one of the strangest, but it was awesome. It’s been a long time since Ridge Racer was a definitive franchise, but it used to be that a new Ridge Racer was a platform-defining moment. The series was no stranger…

Can’t They All Be President?

Normally, cosplay involves dressing up as fictional characters, not real people. But this year’s Presidential primaries have been so absurd that I think this now counts. Amazing how a wardrobe change suddenly makes Trump look like a dude you’d wanna party with. As for the other two, your feelings are yours and yours alone. The…

Fallout 4 Prank Call Has Preston Garvey Asking Strangers For Help

It’s kind of a dick…

Hunger Games And Other Movies Come To Steam, Which Is Not A Great Place To Watch Movies

Steam’s had a movie section for a little while now, but for the most part it’s been home to indie flicks and Naruto. Recently, though, that’s been changing. Case in point: Lionsgate just added 100 movies to Steam, including Hunger Games and Twilight. While Lionsgate’s mess of moving pictures varies in quality (Reservoir Dogs! Cabin…

Star Wars: Galaxy Of Heroes Gets Guilds, Raids And Huge PvPness

After spending several months sitting alone in the bathroom clicking Star Wars themed things on my phone, Galaxy of Heroes gives players the ability to sit together in the bathroom clicking Star Wars themed things, complete with horrible guild names. Three months after reporting playing EA’s free-to-play mobile Star Wars collectible RPG every day for…
