Metal Gear Solid Characters As Pokémon Trainers
Otacon would probably take Professor Oak’s place, and the Pokémon themselves would look a lot different if the Metal Gear universe met Pokémon Japanese artist Ikuyoan transformed Snake, Liquid and Raiden (I like his new “sword”) to Pokémon trainers, with cuter versions of a Metal Gear REX or Blade Wolf. Fan-art by Ikuyoan [Pixiv, via…

UncategorizedGearbox’s Next Big Game Is Going to Be Very Different from Borderlands
It was the guns that did it for the Borderlands games, wasn’t it? Thousands, millions, umpty-trillions of weapons to find, collect and love more than some actual flesh-and-blood human beings. Well, in Battleborn, the people who made those games want to do for characters what they did for guns in Borderlands That’s not to say…

Game of Thrones’ Castle Black and the Wall Look Awesome in Minecraft
And this time it’s not even a WesterosCraft build. This is from a Chinese group called Cthuwork. It’s pretty great. According to the project description, it took the ~20-member team a total of 15 hours to finish the project, which seems quick for something so detailed and good-looking. You can take a look at the…

UncategorizedSomeone’s Trying to Put DayZ in Doom
His reason? “I had had it with Zombies walking through walls and figured that Doom is a far more suitable engine to use.” Ouch. Still, this guy’s made an admirable amount of progress, for a one-man project. According to him, so far, DoomZ already has the following features: day and night weighted spawn points animals…

One Man’s Idea For A Final Fantasy VII Remake
It’s a crime that the only time this website has featured the work of veteran artist Feng Zhu was for a freaking Duke Nukem game. So let’s fix that. Feng’s been working in video games since the 90s, and has been involved with series and games like *deep breath* The Sims, Dead Space, Wing Commander,…

PS4 Sneakers Are Badass In The Front, Silly In The Back
Behold, a pair of custom PS4-themed Jordans. The simple colour scheme makes them look, from the front, like something you’d really want to own. But then you see the back (and the price). Yes, that’s a HDMI port. It doesn’t do anything, it’s just there. Thankfully, you can take the cord out, leaving just the…

Screw Apple’s Watch, Nintendo’s Watches Were Way Cooler
Hey everyone, Apple is making a watch. You might have heard. It’s like a normal watch, in that it goes on your wrist and tells the time, but it also does some computer stuff. Sound familiar? Of course it does. Other companies have been doing it for years. Including Nintendo. Sort of. OK, so Nintendo’s…

I tend to get angry at little things in video games. A lot. Sometimes really, really, really angry. I’m starting to think I should stop. Why? A recent study explained just how bad for us small yet frequent day-to-day stresses really are. The short version? Life-threatening. I know I’m not the only one (shit, I…

UncategorizedImproving One Of TV’s Worst Opening Credits Sequences
I love Boardwalk Empire. Can’t get enough of it. But I, like most others, cannot stand the show’s opening credits, which are neat the first 2-3 times you see them, but which have become unbearable now we’re years into the show’s run. Here, then, are two ways to fix this. The first is by re-creating…
