You Really Shouldn’t Google “Pokken” Images Right Now

Pokkén! It’s Pokémon meets Tekken, so hey, that’s a clever title. Maybe. And you might be interested in the game, but whatever you do, don’t google “Pokken.” Seriously, don’t. “Pokken” is not only the name of the upcoming Pokémon arcade fighter, Pokkén Tournament, but also the Dutch word for smallpox. And here, via Interglot, is…

Don’t Be Silly, Hello Kitty Is a Cat

Earlier today, numerous websites reported that Hello Kitty is not a cat. That’s not only an oversimplification, it’s also not quite true. Hello Kitty is a feline—just an anthropomorphic one, Sanrio told Kotaku. The whole Hello-Kitty-is-not-a-cat thing was set off by an L.A. Times article on an upcoming Hello Kitty at the Japanese American National…

Mario, Board Games, Beer…Deep Space Looks Like Fun

Devon Fay is an environment artist who has worked at Blizzard, Neversoft and Infinity Ward. His Call of Duty space stuff is fantastic, but it’s the homages to Alien/2001 (like the pic above) that I just love. From the carpet to the board games, it really nails that Ron Cobb feel. You can see more…

Revel In The Horrors Of A Subway System

Because I am the kind of person who looks at actual subway posters as though they were works of art, last week I picked up a game called Mini Metro, which is basically a puzzle/sim game where you build your own subway system. There’s no brown dirt of grimy tracks, though. The whole thing is…

Who The Hell Is Watching Porn On a 3DS?

PornHub released a bunch of graphs yesterday breaking down what platforms people are viewing their service on. Among other curiosities (there are humans in 2014 watching porn on Windows NT and Blackberry phones), the company showed what gaming systems are most commonly, um, used. The leading two stats seem weird. I’m going to assume they…

Internet Prank Goes Too Far, Sends Schools Into Lockdown

“Swatting” is a “prank” that involves calling the police on Twitch streamers for bogus crimes. They get arrested mid-stream, one (anonymous) person in the whole damn world has a good laugh, and nobody else wins. This time it got way out of hand. Jordan “Kootra” Mathewson, founder of popular streaming collective The Creatures, was streaming…

Most Pics In IKEA Catalogues Aren’t Photos, They’re 3D Renders

Swedish furniture behemoth IKEA has very nice, very large catalogues that I had thought contained hundreds of very staged, very nice photos. Turns out that assumption was only half right. Over the past few years, IKEA has been replacing photos – which can be expensive and laborious to set up – with stunningly lifelike computer…
