New Domo-kun Figure Looks Like a Turd

Domo-kun is originally a mascot for Japanese public broadcast company NHK. In the stop-motion anime he appears in, Domo-kun doesn’t quite look like a turd. This upcoming figurine? Total turd. Maybe it’s all the points of articulation that give this shiny brown Domo-kun a very poo-like appearance? Or the lack of soft fur? Here’s what…

Cool Indie Game Has A Name I’m Only Going To Type Once

Continue?9876543210 is a new game from Jason Oda, the guy who made that awesome Zelda/Skrillex mashup earlier in the year.

See Where Some Of Your Humble Bundle Money Actually Goes

Yeah, people mostly jump on Humble Bundles because they get a ton of great games for insanely cheap prices.

They’re available on Firebox as various classic titles, such as Super Mario Kart, Donkey Kong Country or Street Fighter II Turbo Too bad they haven’t made…

Heroes Of Dragon Age Is Out. Hooray?

The “hooray” all depends. How much do you love Dragon Age? How do you feel about mobile collectible card games? Do free-to-play games make you queasy? So many variables.

GTA V and Dead Island Called Out For Depiction of Women

When you look at the success of stuff like The Hunger Games, Gravity and Orange Is The New Black, it’s safe to say this was a pretty good year for the depiction of women in media. Just the same, though, it hasn’t all been peachy this year. Here’s a montage by The Representation Group (who…
