Terror in Resonance Starts Strong But Falls Apart Midway

Terror in Resonance, the latest from the acclaimed director of Cowboy Bebop and Space Dandy, had one of the strongest starts of any anime of the summer season.

Oddworld-Themed PS1 Is A Really Pretty One

Making an Oddworld-themed custom PS1 might feel unexpected at first, but both Abe’s Odyssey and Abe’s Exodus were big on the first Playstation, so Vadu Amka‘s amazing custom work is absolutely fitting.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel players have begun stumbling across incredibly efficient loot/experience/badass rank/moonrock grinding spots (that’s my nice way of saying “exploits”), so of course they’re calling them loot caves.
