Cat Heads Make Gay Anime Love Scene Hilarious

Late last year, the people over at Manga Entertainment started putting out a series of animated shorts where they take a clip of an anime and replace the characters’ heads (and sometimes bodies) with those of cats. The latest of these “ANIMEOW” videos uses footage from homosexual love story anime Junjo Romantica—and really makes for…

Attack On Titan Figures Aren’t Safe For Giant Mouths

Armin, you are a giant wuss. But your Figma is fantastic. Coming after more, ahem, notable characters like Mikasa and Captain Levi, this latest Attack on Titan entry in the best action figure line on the planet captures everything you’d want from Eren’s cry-baby pal: namely the moppish hair and silly faces.

Silver Saaremael is a senior concept artist at Crytek, who spent the last two years working on Xbox One launch title Ryse. I don’t know how much more Ryse art we can post, but really, when it’s all this good, who cares. You can see more of Silver’s work at his personal site To see…

RPG Loves Hellboy, And I’m Cool With That

Darkest Dungeon is a 2D RPG that’s looking nice. And I’m not just saying that because those lines and that colour palette are doing a damn fine Hellboy impersonation. That helps, of course, but the premise also sounds interesting: this is a roguelike (Spelunky, FTL, etc) where you’re controlling four grizzled dudes who don’t just…

Around the world, people use different ways of saying that they beat a game, Gamasutra finds. It’s kind of fascinating. What words do you use?

Watch as Rubik’s master Kevin Haystakes on six increasingly larger jumbled cubes — from 2×2 to 7×7 — to set the world record for making sides look the same. I was one of those kids who resorted to breaking his cube apart and putting it together again so the sides all matched. I am not…

Final Fantasy VII’s Boss Music, Played By Floppy Drives

Anything can be an instrument, people—including a whole bunch of floppy drives! Sixteen, in this case, to be exact. (You remember floppy drives, right?) You might recognize this tune as “Those Who Fight Further,” which is the boss theme in Final Fantasy VII. Here’s the original, for comparison’s sake. Pretty close, right? Kudos to MrSolidSnake745…

​What It Feels Like When You Play: Threes

Threes has become a problem for me. Last night, I was seriously torn between making sure my three-year-old ate her dinner and getting a few more rounds of the new iOS puzzle game in before bedtime. I fed her and then I went back to obsessively doing math. ‘Til 2 a.m. Here’s how I feel…

If TV Channels Were Video Games…

TV channels and video game franchises might seem like a weird thing to compare, but the unlikely pairs are exactly what make these wise cracks by Dorkly so clever. It’s the sort of thing where you don’t need to watch anything on the channel referenced to know just what Dorkly is talking about—but its better…

The Universe Will End Before This Minecraft Clock Finishes Counting

“Even the most ridiculous design has a purpose” says the creator of this virtual countdown timer in the building game Minecraft.

Dressing up like characters from pop culture, while cool, looks like a ton of work. Cosplay doesn’t have to be hard, though. If you’re willing to have fun with it, you can make all sorts of costumes with stuff you have lying around the house. Such is the idea behind the My Half Assed Cosplay…

As Close To A New Game Boy Game As We’re Going To Get

I miss the days of dash attacks, the platformers of yesteryear. I miss Rocket Knight Adventure, and Mischief Makers. Lucky for me, The Joylancer: Legendary Motor Knight scratches that itch. In the video above, I play the “shareware” demo of The Joylancer, a retro-platformer that harkens back to the days of Gameboy and the 16-bit…
