This is Nama Gundam. He likes to snowboard, dressed in Gundam gear. Bless him. The Osaka resident made his Mobile Suit himself. This isn’t only cosplay, but functional snowboarding wear. It seems cushioned, and I’m assuming it’s warm. Surely, carrying Gundam weaponry while snowboarding makes snowboarding more difficult, no? He has friends! They make up…
The great thing about Ultraman is that the series still uses good old fashioned special effects: people wearing suits, miniature cities, and dudes throwing as much dirt as they possibly can. The above GIF features a fight scene with Ultraman Victory. It was originally uploaded by the artist Kouji Tajima (if you like this and…
You might like Yokai Watch. You might have the games and the toys, but do you drive a Jibanyan vehicle? I doubt it!

Right now, there is a giant Dragon Quest mural up in Tokyo’s Shinjuku. It’s apparently made completely from Diablock, which are basically Japanese LEGO. The blocks look like pixels, so if you are going to make a Dragon Quest mural, do it like this. Especially if you are Square Enix and also want to pull…
The Nikkei is one of the biggest, most respected newspapers in Japan. And today, it ran an ad with the words “Fuck It.” Hey! Not that there’s anything wrong with the words “fuck” or “it.” But this could be somewhat embarrassing for Nikkei, especially considering how last year, the paper bought the Financial Times as…

When I started playing Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem, I expected a lot of things: summonable demons,Fire Emblem characters, turn-based RPG gameplay, etc. What I didn’t expect? A ton of animated music videos for the game’s rocking soundtrack. The plot of Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem revolves around a group of people dealing…

Look, Vin Diesel wasn’t born a star. From break-dancing to his own short films, the guy had to work real hard to get where he is today. One such early gig, which popped up on Twitter today, involved being the hype man for…Street Sharks merch at the 1994 Toy Fair. This is so fucking cool.…
Progress isn’t permanent. Darkest Dungeon is a tremendously popular Steam game that just emerged from Early Access. It’s a Lovecraft-inspired dungeon-crawling RPG with a few twists: 1) you have an entire persistent town to upgrade, 2) if any of your characters die, they’re gone for good, and 3) as a result of adventuring-related trauma, your…
Mamakiteruhas one solid, dependable shtick: she takes characters from Japanese horror manga, and she cosplays the hell out of them. Not the entire character, though; she takes a single panel and re-enacts the frame itself, from the line work to the pose, sometimes even taking on multiple characters. (via 前方高能 非戰鬥人員迅速撤離)
Early on Sunday morning, revered Austin board/card games joint Pat’s Games was robbed by two men who, going by what was stolen, clearly knew what they were doing. The men approached the store at around 1am, and using a water meter key ripped the front door off. They then moved inside and stole around $75,000…
The latest large-scale Lara Croft adventure has has a bit of DLC already. But last month’s Endurance Mode add-on didn’t offer up the kind of strong storytelling found in Rise of the Tomb Raider’s main campaign. Baba Yaga: The Temple of the Witch is a new extra chapter that aims to do exactly that. Out…
Of all the people out there currently working on cosplay outfits for a First Order Stormtrooper, 98% of them are going for this guy in particular. Thing is, without his spinny stick thing, it’s just not the same. So it’s cool seeing efforts like this, from 3D printing store Blu-Bin, which not only get the…
Today, The Pokémon Company gave us our first look at an upcoming Pokémon spin-off, Great Detective Pikachu: The Birth of a New Duo. It stars Pikachu….but not the Pikachu you’re used to. The trailer, in case you haven’t seen it: What stands out about this footage is that Pikachu is speaking actual words. Not only…
Mad Max may seem like the action-movie outlier among this year’s Academy Awards nominees, but it’s more than deserving of earnest consideration. In particular, I hope Fury Road wins Oscars for Best Director, Best Cinematography, and Best Editing. For all the ridiculous action and stuntwork happening in a given five-minute stretch of the film, it’s…

After just a week, the people behind Hero’s Song have cancelled their Kickstarter. “We put a lot of time and effort into the Kickstarter, but it’s obvious missing things like physical goods hampered our efforts.
