Who Knew Surgical Masks Made Awesome Transformers Cosplay?

I didn’t! Then again, I’ve never really thought about it. Zawachin is a makeup artist and internet celebrity who became famous for impersonating famous Japanese stars…while they are wearing sickness masks. That’s her thing! The vast majority Japanese people wear masks when they are sick, worried about getting sick, or have pollen allergies. However, more…

The Hardest Lesson in The Last of Us

The story of a minor character you never meet in The Last Of Us teaches one inescapable truth of that world: one way or another you are getting blood on your hands and you’d best make sure it’s not your own.

One of Minecraft’s Greatest and Oldest Web Series Turns Four [UPDATE]

“You’re probably asking yourself, what the heck is this? And, yeah, you are 100% right to ask yourself that.

Eggs and Plastic Bottles Thrown at Japanese Porn Star in China

While politicians bickered, one thing China and Japan could always find common ground on was anime. And, uh, pornography. Which is why this recent incident was all the more surprising.

One Dude Sings Halo Theme In A Church, Sounds Like The Real Deal

I can’t remember the last time there was a greater disconnect between what I was looking at and what I was hearing. This is…just some dude! Looks like he’s on holiday! Only, he can sing. And he’s singing in a church in Switzerland where the acoustics are just right. I’m pretty much head-to-toe with goosebumps…

Awesome School Teaches Through LARPing

There is a school in Denmark that teaches through Live-Action Role-Play. Or, LARPing. Amazing. This isn’t actually a documentary; it’s part of a larger film called Trapped Treasure, which is all about LARPing. We featured another excerpt from it last year. Can’t wait to see the finished product.

Cosplayers Asked On National TV If They’ve Had Sex In Their Costumes

Well, this is kinda weird. Jimmy Kimmel’s team went to Comic-Con last week, and asked a bunch of cosplayers if they’d ever had sex in their costumes.

So, You Can Now Buy Badass Motherboards?

Here’s a motherboard for people who buy internal PC components based on their looks. It’s the *deep breath* ASUS Republic of Gamers Maximus VII Formula Z97.
