How a Foxconn uniform and an iPad ended up in a Chinese art museum.
You know when people see Jesus in potato chips? Or in toast? This is kind of like that, but less delicious and not religious. That is, unless you think watching anime is some sort of holy experience. A recent thread on 2ch, Japan’s largest bulletin board, was pouring over this image by Johannes Schedler at…
Released this past December, the NeoGeo X apparently won’t be produced anymore. According to Japanese site Gamer, production for the system is ending as of this month. Even though the machine carried the SNK and NeoGeo brands, the console was not designed and manufactured by SNK. Instead, it was the work of tech company Tommo.…
The eternal question of whether or not otaku (geeks) like anime ladies over real ladies has apparently been answered. Or something! Over a four day period last fall, a Japanese tech firm used a free Senki Zessho Symphogear iOS app to poll male anime fans, asking them what kind of females they liked: 2D, 2.5D,…
While in a Reddit AMA, game designer American McGee said that EA wanted to “trick” gamers into thinking Alice: Madness Returns was as dark as its marketing and called this tactic part of a “race to the bottom.” Today, Shanghai-based McGee offered a correction or an apology of sorts. “Allow me to expand on my…
As far as Street Fighter characters go, Juri Han is unique. She’s the first Korean Street Fighter character and the sole Taekwondo fighter. She’s also tough, evil, and very cool looking. And that’s exactly why Juri, who debuted in Street Fighter IV, has quickly become a fan favorite. It’s easy to see why cosplayers would…
This sounds about as fun as being stuck in an endless loop of rainy Monday mornings, but there’s at least merit in the idea: Endless Boss Fight is a game that is, quite literally, an endless boss fight. Taking the “go as far as you can” ethos of running games like Canabalt somewhere a little…
On February 7 at the Dernier Bar Avant la Fin du Monde in Paris, France, EA and Geek-Art will be putting on a show to promote Dead Space 3. Because when I think co-op space shooting in the dark, I think of Paris, and paintings. For those of us nowhere near the city of love,…
Reader Brandon passed this video along yesterday, which he helped make, wondering if we’d ever seen it. I had to say “no”, which tore me up inside, because it is absolutely perfect. Sadly ineligible from winning a Saxxy award due to its use of copyright material, that won’t stop it winning hearts here today, because…
Cult game, attractive (and scantily-clad) protagonist, you’d have bet the house on someone coming out with an official Lollipop Chainsaw figure. And, eventually, someone has. Though they really shouldn’t have bothered. Unknown Japanese company World Scope, perhaps explaining why they’re unknown, are behind this official Juliet Starling piece that looks like something you’d expect with…
Bogdan Gabelko is a 3D artist who has worked for companies like Crytek. You may have seen his work before, like the Cammy piece we featured in 2011 He’s now working at Blizzard. Lucky dog. You can see more of Bogdan’s work at his CGHub and DeviantArt pages. To see the larger pics in all…
If you’ve got the room (and love for Star Wars) to spare, Major League Mods are selling these custom Xbox 360 consoles that stick one of Microsoft’s machines inside a model of R2-D2. It’s not cheap—like, it’s $1300 ($1000 if you provide the Xbox)—but hey, console centrepiece showcases don’t come cheap. For something a little…
Combining the hipster appeal of an original Game Boy with the practicality of, well, a ton of other Nintendo systems, the Gameboo is a hacked handheld that lets users play games—via emulation—from platforms like the Game Boy Advance, SNES, NES, Neo Geo and of course the Game Boy itself. While the case is original, almost…
If you like beautiful things, you’re probably getting ready to sit down and play Level-5 and Studio Ghibli’s Ni No Kuni. Before you fire that baby up for the first time, though, you have a very important thing to decide. What language you’ll be playing the game in. I know Chris and especially Jason have…
The image above is of a French soldier currently on active duty in Mali. He’s wearing a mask that looks like the one a character from Call of Duty wears. This is, somehow, cause for enough indignation that the French military and government have opened an investigation into what they call “unacceptable” behaviour. Wow. The…
Damn. Look at what the human body is capable of. Even if you don’t like sports, it’s difficult to watch this music video by Hadouken! and not feel awed by what folks can accomplish. My favorite, however, is the less bombastic, though more cute, baby ‘climbing’ down the stairs. How are you guys today? Feel…
The Half-Life 2 Cinematic Mod has been around forever, and in that time has proven fairly divisive. Sure, it adds some lovely effects to the game, but it also makes so many changes that some feel it loses a little of Valve’s original vision for City 17 and its surrounding countryside. The “improved” character models…
I’ve been looking forward to getting my hands on CCP Game’s upcoming MMOFPS, Dust 514, for a long while. Why? Well, it connects to EVE: Online in exciting ways, creating a persistent universe. The actions of one game can influence the other game, for instance. The potential for space drama is huge! The game is…
This weekend, I was at Further Confusion 2013—a furry convention. What was I doing there? Covering the event for Kotaku, of course! I’m currently working on my report of the event, but for now, here’s a teaser of some of what I saw this weekend. Up above are a couple of fursuiters on the dance…
Step one: assault shield. Step two: combat axe. Step three: no fun allowed. It’s the fun police, here to mess you up with one of the worst/best loadouts in Black Ops II. I’m curious as to how viable this loadout is, so I’ll have to try it out. I love me some tomahawk, so I…
