GI Joe Figures For Grown-Ups

Marauder, who for years have been making custom weapons and accessories (sandbags, etc) for “adult collectors” of GI Joe-scale figures, have decided to step up and start making figures of their own. If GI Joes are for kids, then these things are for the grown-ups of the Call of Duty generation. Designed for both figure…

Titanfall Fish Markets Struggling For Business

It’s been two years since we last showcased the art of James Paick. In that time he’s worked on projects like Titanfall, so it’s time to take another look. I love this kind of Titanfall art. Yeah, the giant robots and spaceships are cool, but this environmental stuff does a better job than the game…

Help A PC Classic Return From The Dead

Outcast is one of the best games ever made for the PC. It is also, sadly, one of the most underrated, meaning that it’s never got a sequel. Or a spin-off. Or even a shitty mobile game. But hey, now we’re hopefully getting something. Last year, the creators of Outcast got together and bought back…

Special Xbox 360 Controller Knows How You’re Feeling

We never did get that Nintendo Vitality Sensor (though the company is now working on something grander). A researcher at Stanford, however, has gone and done something similar, only for an Xbox 360 controller. Gregory Kovacs, professor of electrical engineering at Stanford, worked with Texas Instruments (and his students) to develop the pad, which takes…

​What Did You Think Of The Game of Thrones Premiere?

Everyone’s back, and everything’s different, and you can just tell that at some point soon, everything’s going to fall apart. Welcome back to Game of Thrones! Of course it’s all going to fall apart—what else would really happen in Westeros, after all? This isn’t really a place where things arrive at a comfortable status quo…

Goats With Friends: good news, there will be DLC for Goat Simulator, including a new map, local splitscreen, new achievements, more goats and more—all dropping in May, and all free. Woo!

Here is a lovely comic about ducks. Well, it’s about a lot more than that, really. Ducks is the latest from the brilliant Kate Beaton; it’s an unusually long work for her, a five-parter that tells the story of her time working at a Fort McMurray mining site in 2008. Find all five parts here

Luftrausers‘ Nazi Controversy Isn’t Censorship. It’s A Discussion

Giant Bomb‘s Patrick Klepek wrote a great piece about the Luftrausers Nazi kerfuffle, in which people pondered if the arcade-y shooter is about playing as a super cool, er, Nazi. Developer Vlambeer politely disagreed and explained its intentions, but also acknowledged the complaint as valid. That’s basically amazing. I highly recommend that you read Klepek’s…

​Guy Forges The Blade From Blade, Annihilates Watermelon With It

I haven’t seen Blade in a while, but one of my primary memories of the film is when Wesley Snipes whips out his multi-bladed chakram and wipes out like, five thousand vampires at once. Blood everywhere! Sunglasses! Trenchcoat! (My memory might be a bit spotty, it’s been a while.) The latest video from Man at…

​Fan-Made GTA V Trailer Makes You Want to Play It All Over Again

Feels like a lot like something Martin Scorcese would do, doesn’t it? Rockstar cuts some pretty great trailers for their games. This fan-created video is as good as the official teaser for the latest Grand Theft Auto game. It’s the work of Luke Ritson, who’s previously don alternative trailers for BioShock Infinite, season one of…

​Two Years Later, I’ve Found A Diablo III Class That I Really Like

It’s not that I have anything against monks, per se. They seem like cool enough people. And my Diablo III monk, Shan, was a cool dude. He just wasn’t a demon hunter, you know? Shan fought his way to the final boss of Diablo III, won the day, got some kind of cool unique staff…
