Well This is the Most Terrifying Teddy Bear Abomination Ever

This past weekend, I began making my way through the newest in the Danganronpa franchise, Zettai Zetsubou Shoujo: Danganronpa Another Episode, so I was expecting violence, murder, and elaborate death traps. What I was not expecting? This teddy bear abomination. In the Danganronpa franchise, the main villain is a robotic half-black and half-white bear known…

What Would Happen if Humans Were Gone, Illustrated by The Last of Us

“Say a Homo sapiens-specific virus – natural or diabolically nano-engineered – picks us off but leaves everything else intact. How would the rest of nature respond if it were suddenly relieved of the relentless pressures we heap on it and our fellow organisms?” – The World Without Us, Alan Weisman.

Sometimes Horrible People Make the Best Characters

Sabagebu: Survival Game Club is a comedy anime that builds its story around one concept: What if you cast a vengeful, egomaniacal narcissist as an “innocent newcomer” in a cliché anime school setting—and then give her an airsoft handgun? Good – A Bad Person and a Great Character Sabagebu is the story of transfer student…

You Can Drink Liquid Cookies in Japan

Who wants to eat cookies when you can drink cookies? Starting this month in Japan, you can. Country Ma’am—for my money, Japan’s best cookie brand—is rolling out a beverage called “Drinkable Country Ma’am” (飲むカントリーマアム or Nomu Kantorii Maamu). This certainly isn’t the first cookie drink the world has seen, but will it be the best-tasting?…

The Best Part of this Game? Anime Character Pixel Art

Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax is a fighting game that takes many of the most popular light novel characters (which have subsequently appeared in popular anime and manga) and has them battle it out. But I have to say my favorite part of the game isn’t the fighting, it’s the character sprites. We’ve already looked at…

Here’s the new trailer for Resident Evil Revelations 2, which confirms the return of Barry Burton as a playable character. Makes sense, considering his daughter is also a playable character.

Game Called Infini-Quest Has, Spoilers, Infinite Quests

And you can do pretty much anything during those quests. I covered myself in pig’s blood and danced around a quizzical swan. According to Infini-Quest, my actions won’t soon be forgotten. I should hope not. Infini-Quest is a free procedurally generated adventure game. This means that each time you start playing, you get a whole…

Resident Evil And Luigi’s Mansion Are A Match Made In Nintendo Hell

On today’s episode, the part of Chris Redfield will be played by… Luigi? Sure, why not. Polygonal artist Glenatron—who you might remember from his interactive Metal Gear diorama—has put together another pristine snow globe world for us to explore. This time, it’s a fusion of the first Resident Evil and Nintendo’s own spooky mansion sim,…

“Defective” Samus Figure Sells For A Ton On eBay

The Samus Amiibo that accidentallyshipped with two arm cannons instead of one wasn’t just an exercise in maximum firepower. It’s also proof that “defective” toys are often the most valuable. The figure went up for sale on eBay last week, and has now been sold for $2500. Yup. $2500. Which to some might sound bonkers,…

Try Playing Fallout As The Doctor

You don’t always have to wander the wastelands as a grizzled survivor of a post-apocalyptic hellscape. Sometimes you can play as a smartly-dressed, time-travelling British gentleman instead. First things first: this isn’t a mod. It’s a guideto role-playing Fallout: New Vegas as a character (and player) matching the Doctor, so aside from advice on picking…

Pro Cheating Fiasco Leads To Incredible Counter-Strike Final Match

After a huge cheating scandal that sent allegations—as opposed to Counter-Strike‘s normal weapon of choice, bullets—flying, this weekend’s DreamHack 2014 pro finals produced one of the best matches Global Offensive has seen. It nearly didn’t happen, however, thanks to, yep, more cheating. In the wake of Valve’s discovery that three high-profile pro Counter-Strike: Global Offensive…

Bummer Dragon Age Bug Makes Your Party Quiet. Too Quiet.

Dragon Age: Inquisition is generally a good enough game to make up for its bugs and overall lack of technical polish. However, one new bug stands out from the rest: The Banter Bug. The Banter Bug has been identified by a number of players who noticed that their characters weren’t bantering with one another as…
