Major Kusanagi, Reporting In…
Miss Sinister is one of the best cosplayers around. And you’re about to see why. One of the coolest things about her cosplay is that she isn’t afraid to branch out and try characters that you wouldn’t expect. Cosplaying as Mary Jane Parker and Major Kusanagi, OK, that’s understandable, but Sagat? Vaas? Awesome. You can…

CultureMechs Punching In Space? You Have My Attention.
Zombot are calling their first game, Project Galaxy, a “AAA, next-gen” mobile title. The studio is made up of devs who have worked at Rockstar, Bungie, Ubisoft and 2K, and while there’s little else to show other than a trailer and some concept art, both of those are looking great. Alex Chu is Zombot’s creative…

Life-Size Titan Falls In Middle Of Berlin
Passengers at this Berlin train station would be forgiven for cloaking then running for the nearest doorway after seeing this as they emerged from their escalator ride. This life-size Titan replica looks like something that would have previously made an appearance at a trade show – maybe even GamesCom, given this is Germany – but…

UncategorizedNot All Minecraft Clones Are A Waste Of Time
Unsurprising given its success, Minecraft has, let’s say, inspired a whole range of new games. Some, like Terraria, have been pretty good. Others, like the endless sea of shameless clones, have been terribly unimaginative. At first glance Planets³ sounds like the latter. It’s got voxels. It’s open-world. Most things are cubes. It mentions “creativity”. There…

For $25, Your Toilet Can Become A Sarlacc Pit
Thankfully, your toilet does not take 1000 years to digest whatever falls into it.

UncategorizedA Fresh Reminder Why Fanboys Are Stupid
I put this to you, Xbox fanboys (though it’s of course equally applicable across all platforms): if you love console so damn much you indeed qualify as a fanboy, one who adores Microsoft and despises Sony and Nintendo, what does it say about you when one of the execs running Xbox itself owns and enjoys…

Reddit’s Gaming Site Hacked For Half-Life 3 Lulz
One of the biggest subreddits on the site, r/gaming, was hacked earlier today. I mention this because, instead of just bringing it down, the whole thing was replaced with a single notice. That’s it. That’s all people could see see. Users couldn’t access any functions on the subreddit. All they could do was look at…

UncategorizedWatch A Cartoon Astronaut Wage Interstellar War
Glorkian Warrior: The Trials of Glork is more than a mouthful of a title, it’s a silly arcade shooter for iOS from the guys over at PixelJam (the guys behind Dinorun) and artist James Kochalka I got a hands-on with the game last month at Indiecade East with Mark DeNardo, the game’s sound wizard (I…

UncategorizedReal Archers Show The Hunger Games Ain’t That Tough
Don’t get me wrong, Katniss is a badass in The Hunger Games. But does she do a bunch of flippy things before she lets an arrow loose? NO. Well, okay, maybe she’s more practical about killing people—that’s a good thing. Still, these archery trick shots by Stephen Izzi and friends are a joy to watch.…

If you’ve been playing Dark Souls II, and following the coverage leading up to the game’s release, you may have noticed that the version of Dark Souls II that was originally shown off to the public was not the same as the game we got on consoles. Tweaks to the lighting, overhauls in the structure…

Ever think to yourself, man, being mesmerized by a digital music visualizer is just too safe? Fixing that problem is easy: just add fire. Also, science. Okay, speaking seriously, this fire visualizer made by the folks at Hard Science is really cool. You can watch them make it (and then test it) in the video,…
