Making The Sims 4 A Lot More Bloody

More often than not, The Sims 4 is a peaceful game. Players can kill their Sims if they wish, but Sims never kill each other. At least, intentionally.

Life 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.

Tiny 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.

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.

“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. This post originally appeared on…

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. 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.

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…
