You didn’t ask for this, but here you go: a Japanese sickness mask that looks like a woman’s face. In Japan, people try to combat pollen—as well as sickness—with masks. When you get sick, the proper thing to do is wear a mask so you don’t get others sick. If you are worried about getting…
Lord Marksman and Vanadis is a low fantasy anime where various nobles are vying for the throne of a kingdom using political savvy, armies, and the occasional dragon. It’s kind of like Game of Thrones—only with a lot less in the way of soul-crushing despair. Set in a fantastical version of medieval Europe, Lord Marksman…
Akira is wonderful. The Simpsons is wonderful. Put them together and you get something pretty special. This is Bartkira.

Coming from a partnership between Square Enix and Koei-Tecmo’s Omega Force, it’s no surprise that Dragon Quest Heroes plays a lot like Dynasty Warriors. What is surprising, however, is how much it resembles tower defense games. From the moment you start playing, Dragon Quest Heroes is clearly cast in the same mold as many a…
Felix Mack works at Nightjar, a studio that specialises in motion graphics. You know the animation/footage that plays behind an artist when they’re on stage? Or the menus on a DVD? Or the credits sequence for a video game? Yeah, they do that Felix in particular did the end sequence for Sunset Overdrive, which was…
Climbing in video games is not broken. Climbing in video games is doing just fine. No-one is complaining about it and no-one has a problem with it. Except me. Me: a person who climbs regularly. Me: a person who plays a lot of video games. Me: a person with no game design experience and only…
It is also completely bullshit. Watch as Lawrencce 1 lands a shot that ricochets off three different surfaces before connecting with the enemy player’s head: Lawrence knows just how ridiculous this shot is, judging from his YouTube description: Of course the kill was intentional!! I accurately predicted the spawn of the player after I killed…
If you’ve ever wondered/worried how a more modern Assassin’s Creed game would work, with all our fancy weapons and computers and vehicles, don’t sweat it.

Faust & Company specialise in masks, especially ones made out of neoprene, one of cosplay’s best friends. This one is called “Dragon Skull”, but that’s just for copyright reasons: it’s really just a nice and adult way for you to dress like a Pokémon. It’s a little more “realistic” than Cubone’s version, but then, Cubone…
For years now, a team called The Zelda Project have been working towards recreating as much of Ocarina of Time as they can, through both cosplay and film. We’ve seentheir cosplay before, but they’ve finally got the cash together to make a start on the film part. Teaming up with Player Piano, they’ve released this…
Valve’s virtual reality demo at the Game Developers Conference melted my brain. Afterward, my mind swam with possibilities. So of course, I ignored most of them and asked the age-old question: “Half-Life?” Surprisingly, Valve actually had an answer for me. The short version is: Valve has tried using Half-Life characters, settings, and ideas in VR,…
Hey, a new Rollercoaster Tycoon game got shown off properly for the first time today! Remember Rollercoaster Tycoon, and how good it was 10, 15 years ago? Keep remembering, because this one looks like hell. I mean that in the most literal sense. For all I know this could be the most enjoyable Rollercoaster Tycoon…

If you’re a PlayStation 4 owner who enjoys HBO, it’s awesome that HBO Go is now an app on the machine. If you’re a Comcast subscriber, though, you can’t use it. That’s a bunch of bullshit. I’m not the only person in our apartment who likes using the TV. It turns out my wife is…
