UncategorizedLife In A Nutshell In World of Warcraft‘s Draenor
No matter where you are in the new zones of World of Warcraft, Khadgar, the main NPC of the expansion, will pop up randomly to bug you. He’s everywhere. Thanks, MMO mechanics. Slightly Impressive‘s recent machinima is about him and about other, similarly elaborate observations of Draenor. The folks at Blizzard might’ve realized there’s just…

Warcraft‘s Most Dangerous Dragon Captured In Polystone, Still A Jerk
Deathwing the Worldbreaker. Formerly Neltharion, Earth-Warder of Azeroth. The reason behind the entire World of Warcraft Cataclysm expansion. What a dick. Makes a lovely statue though. A statue that the folks at Sideshow have been teasing us with for years as part of their partnership with Blizzard Entertainment, which has already produced some stunning pieces…

UncategorizedTiny RC Cars And Drones Battle For Precious Batteries
A two-wheeler trying to save its car friends, a teddy bear awaiting lifesaving batteries… There’s a lot of drama in Corridor Digital’s latest short where remote controlled cars are trying to escape a group of aggressive mini drones. This is really close to bringing a kid’s imagination to life—too bad most of the RC buggies…

UncategorizedA Guild Wars 2 sitcom starring Tyria’s famous band of heroes, Destiny’s Edge? I guess that could work—they already take up a good chunk of the screentime in GW2’s campaign, anyway. The pics are from a Friends intro mashup created by YouTuber and Guild Wars aficionado Levi. Watch it below. Guild Wars 2: FRIENDS from…

Poll: Japan’s Most Wanted Remake Will Surprise No One
If there’s one thing a whole bunch of gamers in Japan can agree on, it’s this: They really want a Final Fantasy VII remake. Some of the other choices in this PlayStation poll, though, might surprise you. Over ten thousand male and female gamers in Japan, ranging in ages from their teens to their 60s,…

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…

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…

UncategorizedHere’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. RERe2’s four episodes will release weekly, starting on February 17/18 and ending on March 10/11, at a price of $6 per episode.

Kotaku EastStar Wars in Japanese, Projection Mapped on a Wall
For the holidays, Disney is projection mapping Star Wars at Yokohama’s Dockyard Garden. Because nothing quite says Christmas like Star Wars!

Bad Tourists Lead to Photography Ban at Japanese Temples
Fall is one of the most beautiful times of the year in Kyoto. These past few weeks have been spectacular. It really makes you want to visit a scenic Buddhist temple and perhaps take photos to immortalize your visit. Thing is, at some temples, you can’t. As pointed out on Naver Matome, more and more…

I Don’t Play Video Games Anymore. I Wait For Them.
Right now it is 8.42pm on Monday night. I was supposed to be playing a video game. An exercise game to be precise. Using Kinect on the Xbox One. I put the disc in. Another day one update: 2.1 GB. Of course. I should be used to this by now. How long is this going…

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…

There’s Already Amazing Star Wars: Episode VII Fan Art
Well, that didn’t take long. The 88-second teaserfor the next Star Wars movie only went live on Friday (and didn’t really show much!), but already we’ve got a number of very nice pieces of fan art not only celebrating what we saw, but guessing at what might come next. While it might have been the…

UncategorizedThis Splinter Cell Movie Might Be Better Than The Real One
The Splinter Cell is a live-action short film, running at around nine minutes, and it’s been made entirely by fans. I emphasise that last bit because at times it’s tough remembering that, since this looks like it could have been a pilot for an actual TV series. Those are some nice cameras they’re using. Nice…

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,…
