When building my list of the five anime you should be watching this summer, there was only one anime out of the dozen I watched that I knew would make the list before I reached the first episode’s credits. This is because The Eccentric Family is so magical that it excites a sense of wonder…

Don’t Try Pikachu’s Thunderbolt at Home, Please

In Pocket Monsters, one of Pikachu’s attacks is the 100,000-volt Thunderbolt. You’ve probably seen that in the Pokémon games, anime, and maybe even the manga.

Role-Playing Not As A Warrior, But As A…Guy In A Suit Doing Cocaine

When you think of LARP, or Live-Action Role-Playing, you probably think of people in armour running around a field hitting each other with foam swords. But not everyone LARPS that way. Some people take the basic concept and run very far away with it, to the point where they’re basically LARPing as…Mad Men. This is…

PowerPoint Killed The Video Game (Hype)

In game development realism is dangerous line to traverse, and there is no endgame.

The PS4 Has Tiny PlayStation Screws Inside

German site Computer Bild have got hold of a devkit PS4 and cracked it open.

Batman Games Look Best in Black and White
