Purple and Green. Saga Prefecture, Japan. By Colin Laycock. JPGs is a photo peek into wherever gamers might find interesting. If you’re a photographer and have images you want to share, drop us a line!
It can happen. Just ask Florida-based fitness lover Natascha Encinosa. Back in February, Encinosa uploaded a photo to her Instagram, wishing everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day. That’s when folks noticed the Chun-Li similarities. The photo quickly went viral, and since then, Encinosa has netted over 190,000 Instagram followers and even caught the attention of Japan’s…
A horde of cosplayers took the stage at the League of Legends theater at PAX East in Boston today. Most were dressed as characters from Riot’s mega-hit. Can you name them all? Here are a few more group shots: And some close-ups. Note that not everyone on stay was dressed as someone from League All…
Rollerblading healer hero Lucio is one of my favorite characters to play in Overwatch. The simple act of skating around feels great, especially when you’re riding walls like gravity’s just another rail ripe for grinding. This guy, though, he’s turned it into an art form. Jamie Allegro sticks to walls like goddamn Spider-Man. Watch him…
Ambush… truce? Most of the time in Counter-Strike, if you encounter an enemy lying in wait around a corner, you’re screwed. Well, unless you’re lesi20, anyway. Of course, all good things must come an end… some faster than others. Here’s the full thing:
Another week on the books! And another weekend to scrub any memory of it from our minds. Not gonna lie, the game I’ll be playing most this weekend will probably be “go on a bike ride IRL.” But I’ll also play some games. My list: I’m psyched to start The Banner Saga 2, since I…
Everybody’s Gone To The Rapture tells two complicated, interwoven stories. Both are good. Both can be a bit hard to follow. First, there’s the story of the people who live in Shropshire’s fictional Yaughton Valley in the 1980s. Then there’s the story of the apocalyptic Event that caused them to… well, Go To The Rapture.…
Bless Fallout 4 players who are truly making the most out of the Wasteland Workshop DLC. The screenshot above comes to us via Tumblr user lady-of-rohan, a Fallout 4 player desperate for Nick Valentine’s attention. As you might already know, the Wasteland Workshop DLC lets players make neon signs, and it’s leading to all sorts…
If you at all follow UFC goings-on (or even just follow someone on Twitter who accidentally watched a UFC card at a bar once), you’ve probably heard about the Biblical drama storm currently following Conor McGregor. This week McGregor “retired” from MMA over the UFC’s refusal to give him a slightly lighter promotional schedule. It’s…
Each Dark Souls 3 enemy is horrible in its own way. Some are more horrible than the rest. I’ve played a ton of the game over the last couple of weeks, and I’ve killed pretty much every enemy there is. Just like with Bloodborne, a few of those enemies have lodged in my brain. I…
Say you want to have a party. You want it to be the most incredible party on the planet, one that all of your friends will remember forever. You’re putting a lot of money into it, so you can’t afford to fail. It’s gotta be perfect. To pull off an event like this, you’ll need…
Poor Lara Croft. She didn’t deserve this. Last night I decided to finish Rise of the Tomb Raider on PC. I’m not really sure why: maybe because we’d been discussing finally adding it to our list of the best Xbox One games? Mostly because it was sitting in my Steam library and I was bored…
The Banner Saga 2 is an excellent strategy game, but the one thing fans (or even casual observers) tend to associate most with the series its its absolutely gorgeous 2D art. From epic backgrounds to hand-drawn animation, it’s one of the most beautiful video game series on the planet, so it’s an absolute pleasure today…
For more than a decade now, creator Robert Kirkman has been the primary creator of the Walking Dead, partnering with a select few artists to build out the bleak, incredibly successful comics series. Now, two more comics superstars have entered the zombie apocalypse with a beautiful side story that you can read from almost no…
A couple weeks ago, survival hit Rust added playable women. This is, however, Rust we’re talking about, so players don’t get to choose whether they’re a dude or a lady. Controversy ensued. People threatened to stop playing. Some said Rust had dug its own grave. Turns out, the game’s player count has actually gone up.…
It took me almost 40 hours to beat every boss in Dark Souls 3. It’s taking speedrunner Distortion2 just over an hour, and he’s cutting off minutes every single day. There are few things more enjoyable than watching another person blast through a Souls game after you’ve endured its tortures. Granted, any Souls game is…
Mortal Kombat’s got ninjas of all different colors. Yellow-clad Scorpion is hot like fire and green-skinned Reptile spits acid at fools. Sub-Zero may wield cryokinetic power but he’s not the coolest martial artist in the fighting game series. That title goes to Rain, because he was created as an homage to Prince. Rain was originally…
Even if you can get used to the awkward controls, Star Fox Zero is merely mediocre. It’s as disappointing a major Nintendo console release as there’s been in some time. You’re Fox McCloud himself, once again the pilot of your very own Arwing fighter, flying or, on rare occasions, driving a tank, through missions in…
On Sunday, for the first time since 2006 (as far as I can tell), Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children will be screened in a theater—an actual theater. The polarizing film, which continued the story of Cloud and his angsty buddies after they defeated Sephiroth way back in the 90s, will be shown at the Newport…
If you’ve ever been to a convention, you know what a problem body odor can be. But judging from pictures coming out of PAX East this morning, Twitch is doing its part to help with the smelly crisis. Genius! Another picture, courtesy of @therealcliffyb: The stunt is not surprising, given that Old Spice is listed…
