Master Source Filmmaker user Zachariah Scott returns once again with an amazing piece of work, this time crossing the world of Team Fortress 2 with that of Godzilla It’s… look, I’m starting to think Zachariah Scott isn’t one man, and that he’s instead a complex computer program nestled beneath Valve headquarters, devoted entirely to designing…
Above is a small Madoka Kaname figurine. The character is well known to Japanese anime fans, and now, the entire country. The reason, however, is not the anime she stars in, Puella Magi Madoka Magica. It’s for a computer virus and a suicide threat. A photo of this character was sent to various Japanese news…
The Wii U will be hitting stores in Japan on December 8th, almost a month after its launch in the US and over a week after its release in Europe and Australia. Not exactly to make up for the delay, Nintendo announced last week a preinstalled game that will be included in Japanese Wii U’s,…
I purchased my glossy black partner on January 30th, 2007. Since then it has run over 50 PS3 games, a bunch of PS2 and PS1 games, and probably hundreds of Blu-ray and DVD movies. But I had to bid farewell to my dear friend; my PS3 displayed the dreaded Yellow Light of Death, better known…
Japanese LEGO builder Talapz specializes in two things: recreating famous Japanese structures in LEGO, and turning those brick recreations into pop-up books. It’s as if Talapz didn’t think building was hard enough. He had to make things trickier Above, Talapz does a Todai-ji in LEGO—he even provides a how-to at the end, so get out…
Shin Megami Tensei IV, the latest new game in the Shin Megami Tensei series is headed for the 3DS next year, and developer Atlus has released some new information on the game. As can be seen in the trailer that was released last month, the game characters are from a middle-ages sort of world and…
Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake was released way back in 1990. Yet, the game was set in the late 1990s, when a major oil crisis impacted the world economy. Okay, that’s fiction. But one element of the game’s plot—namely a fuel producing algae that’s an alternative energy source—is not. This week in the San Francisco…
These Japanese kids covered their school’s chalkboard with this truly epic One Piece art. It took these three students about a week, drawing each day after class to complete the work. And hot damn, was it ever worth it. The drawing is from the last chapter of the One Piece manga arc* “Vivi’s Adventure”, in…
Today, Nintendo unveiled its latest collection of Club Nintendo goodies for Platinum Members in The Land of the Rising Sun.

Cats and porn. These are two of the biggest juggernauts on the internet. And a Japanese company called Soft On Nyanko has figured out how to bring them together, like never before.

Kazumi Totaka, a sound designer and musician at Nintendo, is responsible for one of the sweetest traditions the company has in its arsenal: Totaka’s Song, a ditty he first composed in 1992 and which has featured in every game he’s worked on since While the song has appeared in many games, it’s perhaps best-known for…
My Mordin died a rather pathetic, and entirely unintentional death at the end of Mass Effect 2. Seeing as a little plaque on the Normandy is hardly a fitting tribute to a “man” of so many talents, I might look into this bust for a memorial instead. Priced at $40 and being sold from BioWare’s…
Apologies for getting a little inside baseball here, but I figured it was worth it. Games writer Taylor Cocke has started up a site called Fuck This Stupid Game, where notes taken while reviewing (or previewing) video games are displayed in blessed isolation. I’m sharing them here because I feel his pain. I’ll never say…
There will be Black Friday specials everywhere, but for many of you, GameStop’s will likely be the most important. So here, courtesy of discount specialists CheapAssGamer, are what’s reported to be the specialist retailer’s deals. The standout deal is obviously the pair of home console bundles offered on Friday, in particular a 250GB Xbox 360…
Rockstar sure knows how to make a good clip—loads of gameplay footage sure helps—but for those after something a little more stylish, check out Russian artist Ilya V. Boykov’s custom trailer for Grand Theft Auto V Slicing together and animating GTAV’s official artwork, it doesn’t do the greatest job of selling the actual game, but…
Canadian Peter La is a former user interface specialist who’s recently shifted over to concept art. He’s done work for mobile games like Sushi Smash and the gorgeous puzzle game Nuculus, but really, saying he’s just a casual games artist is really selling his talents short. Those more ethereal sci-fi pieces below are some of…
Now this looks neat. Spin the Bottle is a Wii U title from KnapNok Games and Redgrim that looks like the perfect way to show the new system off to friends… if you’re at a party and have had a couple of drinks. It’s a multiplayer game designed to be played with the TV off.…
The New York Times has a great little piece up breaking apart the Nintendo 3DS XL and showing how it—and its 3D technology—work. A Look Inside the Nintendo 3DS XL [New York Times]
It’s entirely acceptable behaviour in desolate military installations and remote jungles, but busting out Snake’s repertoire of stealth moves in public places is a little less advisable. Metal Gear Solid in Real Life (Public Trolling) FINAL CUT [YouTube]
