Somewhere Underneath Angry Birds 2‘s Nonsense Is A Solid Game

It took me a couple of hours to burn through 80 levels in the first Angry Birds. In Angry Birds 2, getting to level 80 took a week and a half. This is good. It is also very, very bad. It’s good because of the changes Rovio has made to the Angry Birds structure in…

Gamecube Controller Responds To Smash Bros. Moves With Shiny Colors

Garrett Greenwood built something that would have been every Smash Bros. fan’s dream during the Gamecube era: A controller that reacts to button presses with various flashy animations.

Vegeta and Goku’s First Fight From Dragon Ball Z Remade With… Sheep

YouTuber Hoolopee remade the first battle between Vegeta and Son Goku from Dragon Ball Z’s Saiyan Saga using only common sheep and his superior editing skills. Unlike the 2009 movie Dragonball Evolution, something like this as a feature-length Dragon Ball film would work immediately. Here’s the scene in its pure epicness, without any sheep: Vegeta…

The First Attack on Titan Movie Stinks

Attack on Titan, of course, is a massively successful—and popular—manga and anime series. This live-action entry is the Japanese film industry’s latest attempt to parlay manga and anime into cinema.

Report: Konami Is Treating Its Staff Like Prisoners

According to a report on Nikkei, the corporate culture at Konami—home of Metal Gear, Silent Hill and Pro Evolution Soccer—hasn’t only soured over the past few years, but has become almost terrifyingly Orwellian.

An Ode To Wind Waker’s Booger Boy

If you run away from him, he runs towards you. His steps make a noise like ‘teeter-teeter-teeter’. A noise you might recognise from any cartoon. If you walk towards him? He bumps straight into you. With a BOING. He looks up. He just wants your attention. He only wants to talk to you, to play…

It’s a sequel to another of their Endless games, Endless Space. Endless Endless Endless. Endless. I’m excited! The first Endless Space was OK, hinting at some of Amplitude’s future strengths (like…

Metal Gear: The Cartoon Series? Would Watch.

If Assassin’s Creed works as a cartoon, then Metal Gear can too. Each episode would probably run for 127 hours, 126 of which was verbose political dialogue, but fans wouldn’t have it any other way. These pics, by msynowicz(via Super Punch), may not be as anime as some would hope for, but I’m digging the…

We’ve all been there.
