Harry Shearer, who for decades has worked as one of the stars of The Simpsons—lending his voice to characters like Ned Flanders, Mr. Burns, Principal Skinner and Waylon Smithers—has seemingly announced he will no longer be working on the show.

Maciej Kuciara was last featured solo (there have been cameos) here on Fine Art over two years ago, which is too damn long. So here’s an update, with a ton of amazing art. In those two years he’s been busy, working on everything from Jupiter Ascending to The Last of Us. You can see more…

Sweet Counter-Strike Wallpaper

This series of wallpapers by drizzly shows some of Counter-Strikes most iconic map spots, and recreates them in a cute isometric style.

GTA V Mod Overhauls Police, Calls In The Army

The wanted levels in GTA V kind of suck. You’ve got a police force that is half-psychic, half robocop. When you hit max stars, there are no tanks anymore. What gives? Enter modders.

Valve Isn’t Evil, They Just Don’t Understand People

In recent times, people have taken to calling Valve “evil.” Not negligent, not out of touch with their fans, but evil. I do not think Valve is evil. But I think it matters that people have started to view them—once gaming’s do-no-wrong golden child—that way. I think Valve’s brand of “evil” comes from a place…

Steam’s Latest Top Seller Is A Cool Surprise

Windward is not a survival game in early access. It’s not a shooter. It’s not a roguelike. Really, it’s not much like the typical games you always see tearing up the Steam charts at all—and thank kraken for that!
