Linkle Is More Than The ‘Girl Version’ Of Link

When we first saw the concept art and game footage, we really didn’t have much to go on.

Impossible Civilization V Scenario Ends With An Unexpected Twist

Swedish YouTuber Kilian decided to show us how to beat the game on the hardest difficulty in 50 turns. While playing as Venice, with domination victory only. Those are factors that’d make winning pretty much impossible. It’s a parody video (a really smart one), so things go out of control pretty quickly. Venetians cannot train…

Diablo III‘s Wizard Joins Heroes of the Storm

All the playable classes of Diablo III have already got a Heroes of the Storm version, except the Wizard. But those days are over. The Wizard, called Li-Ming, is the next hero joining the ever-growing roster of Heroes of the Storm. It’s not just her appearance that remained somewhat similar to Diablo III. Some fan…

Samurai Vader And Ronin Boba Fett Realize Star Wars’ Japanese Influence Beautifully

Would the original Star Wars trilogy have been better if George Lucas had steered closer to its samurai movie inspiration? It certainly would have looked cooler, as demonstrated by Bandai’s Tamashii Nations Meisho Movie Realization Boba Fett and Darth Vader figures.

Havana from Assassin’s Creed IV, Recreated in Minecraft

Who needs a vacation to the Carribeans when you can just boot up this lovely Assassin’s Creed Havana map in Minecraft? The majority of people, probably. But hey, it’s still a pretty cool build.

Earlier today, a purported teaser for the fourth Evangelion movie appeared on YouTube.

McDonald’s Chocolate French Fries Don’t Taste Disgusting

To be honest, I didn’t think they would. Even if the sight of golden fries covered in white and dark chocolate doesn’t look or sound all that appetizing, these were not too bad. Recently in Japan, McDonald’s released what it’s calling “McFry Potato Chocolate Sauce.” They’re a medium order of fries but with two kinds…
