In in Yomiuri Shimbun (via Twitter user Karubiimunomono), Otani talked about her experiences. “In the beginning, I was often ridiculed with people saying, “It’s…

Trying to Explain an Awkward Anime Image

This is a still from the Togainu no Chi anime. At first glance, it doesn’t appear odd. But look closer. For some, it’s hard to explain what’s going on. The image itself dates from years back, but recently, Twitter user Chronos_sdvxtweeted out some explanations, which also date from a while back. That tweet has racked…

Firewatch’s Inescapable Wedding Ring

I’ve forgotten so much about my wedding day. I can’t remember cutting the cake and I don’t remember my first dance. I don’t remember what I said in my vows and my wedding speech was an unparalleled disaster. But one moment is tattooed on my memory, etched so powerfully I doubt it’ll ever leave. My…

Cutting Open The Vehicles From Star Wars: The Force Awakens

My review of this book: oh boy oh boy oh boy Star Wars: The Force Awakens Incredible Cross-Sections is a newish book by DK, the latest in a very long-running series of books the publisher has released in which big/cool vehicles are sliced open for the immense pleasure of kids (and adults) who have a…

XCOM 2‘s Update Doesn’t Fix Its Terrible Performance

XCOM 2 is easily my favorite game of the year so far. It also has serious performance issues. It’s been two weeks since the game launched, and unfortunately, today’s update does little to alleviate them. The update was intended to fix crashing problems and “some” performance issues. In the former area, at least, it seems…

New TMNT Board Game Looks Great

There’s a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles board game up on Kickstarter. It’s already been funded, so don’t sweat, it’s getting made. Which is cool, because it sounds like the perfect TMNT game. Firstly, because of that art! Both original artist Kevin Eastman and current comics property owners IDW are helping out on the game,…

Harley Quinn Finally Gets Closure on Her Relationship with the Joker

There’s nothing worse than running into an old ex. Especially when that ex is Batman’s homicidal archenemy. In the vague timeline of DC’s rebooted New 52 continuity, Harleen Quinzel and the Clown Prince of Crime broke up a long time ago. But the new issue of the Harley Quinn series clearly illustrates that the Joker’s…

Ursula Cosplay Is A Drag Show Masterpiece

Fun fact: Ursula, the iconic villain from The Little Mermaid, was based on real-life drag superstar Divine. So when Canvasdecided to cosplay as Ursula for Katsucon, he took a little of his own Divine inspiration.

Our Best XCOM 2 War Stories: Love, Loss & Pink Hats

There’s a lot to like about the new XCOM game, but perhaps the coolest thing about it has little to do with tactics, or balance, or visuals. It’s the game’s ability to take what could have been a glorified tabletop wargame and turn it into something that creates stories And not just those that you’ll…

Turrets Are Making Overwatch Players Miserable

A couple characters in Overwatch, Torbjörn and Bastion, use turrets. They are pretty ridiculous. Automated turrets are a staple in first-person shooters, including obvious Overwatch inspiration Team Fortress 2. Torbjörn actually has quite a bit in common with TF2’s Engineer class; he even bonks the crap out of his handy dandy fun-sized murder machine to…
