UncategorizedOne 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…

UncategorizedAwesome 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.

CultureCosplayCosplayers 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. A funny enough question, I guess, but Kimmel’s tone and the “game show” element seems a bit off. Like, this could have been a cool feature on cosplay,…

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.

I Don’t Want To Walk To Everything I Can See In A Game
There’s this thing that developers of open world games have been fond of saying a lot lately: If you can see it, you can travel to it. It’s meant to be an awe-inspiring statement about how rich and full the world is, but every time I hear it I roll my eyes. See, not only…

UncategorizedThe Majora’s Mask Fan Remake Is Still Moving Forward
Everybody wants Nintendo to remake or remaster classic Zelda-er Majora’s Mask, and maybe that is going to happen someday. In the meantime, some fans have been taking this matter into their own hands for a couple years now, as you can see above. That video update for what appears to be a Majora’s Mask remake…

This Is The Zelda Monopoly Game Board, Out Next Month
Announced back in April with few deets, finally we now know what the Legend of Zelda version of the popular-amongst-old-people board game Monopoly looks like. Don’t be too alarmed by that “GAMESTOP EXCLUSIVE” tag there; as with new video games, GameStop just has a couple extra perks in its box, and all these pictures came…

Maybe This Hand-Drawn Mass Effect 3 Box Art Is The Best One
It’s always a bit difficult to gauge the legitimacy of such things, e.g. whether a store employee stuck this on this GameStop shelf just long enough to take a picture or whatever. Either way I’m amused by this ugliness, as a Mass Effect guy. Would I use this over the FemShep one, though? Eh. via…

UncategorizedWatch This Couple Get Engaged While Wearing Ninja Turtles Costumes
Last night was “TMNT Night” at the Fresno Grizzlies minor league baseball game. It’s only natural, then, that a dude dressed as one of the Turtles would propose marriage on the field during warmups to his girlfriend who was also dressed as a Turtle, as you can see in the video. This is just heartwarming…

You Can Be A Hyrule Tourism Billboard With This T-Shirt
I’m not really a video game t-shirt guy, nor am I a Zelda guy. But I do think this shirt is pretty good because it’s slightly obtuse. Obviously we know what it means to visit Hyrule is but not everybody who might see you walking around with this design on your chest or the back…

If you happened to be in Yokohama yesterday, then you might have noticed something incredibly adorable: a small “outbreak” of real-life Pikachu roaming around, being all cute.
