Zombies Throw Dance Party To Celebrate 1,000,000 DayZ Survivors

Yesterday, zombie survival sim DayZ hit one million players, and the zombie population couldn’t be happier. Actually, they’re not happy at all. They’re being forced to do this—by none other than Viktor Kostik, the lead animator of DayZ, who decided to throw together a short dance video to celebrate this milestone in the game’s history.…

The guys behind Sneaky Bastards have published a “2014 Manifesto” on the stealth genre. And whether you can even call it that. If you enjoy any part of a game where you’re sneaking around, go read it

That’s Some Motley Crew You’ve Got There, Boy

Damian Audino is a concept artist who’s only just started out working in the games business. Prior to that, he’s been doing freelance work. I wish Eelboy was a thing I could read/play/watch right now. You can see more of Damian’s work at his personal site To see the larger pics in all their glory…

A He-Man Brawler Based On The 80s Cartoon. Yes.

The last He-Man game was pretty good, but it was a stylised thing, looking nothing like the original 1983 series. This game, made by fans, looks exactly like the 1983 series, and is all the better for it. A group of fans got together to make a side-scrolling beat-em-up based on the original He-Man, and…

Braid Clone Is Illegal, But Also Kinda Cute

Bootleg games are nothing new, but most of the time they’re either brazen clones or inept scams. This one falls somewhere in between, and as a result has a strange charm all of its own. Braid was, despite its platforming roots, a game with a lot to say, and some novel ways to say it.…

A Video Showing Everything A Mouse Clicks On In A Single Day

Clicking on a mouse has become such a mundane task, such an embedded part of our daily lives that it’s become like breathing. We need to do it, but we never actually think about it when we do it. So it’s fascinating watching this video of an artist who took a picture every time he…

Internet Magic Tricks: Six Seconds Per Laugh

Vines may only be about six seconds long, but that’s all Zach King needs to to pull an awesome trick, illusion or silly stunt. And before you can react or wonder how he did it, boom, he hits you with another neat parlor trick. It’s pretty great! Some of these, like the Pikachu one, you…

​Hotline Miami Pop Mash-Ups Combine Murder And Kanye

The top-down murder-death-kill simulator Hotline Miami had already earned the distinction of having one of 2012’s top video game soundtracks. But these mash-ups from Jessica “NNXT” Gore take the whole thing to another level. NNXT mixes Kanye, Missy Elliott, Snoop Dogg and Katy Perry up with original tracks from Hotline, and it is pretty great.…

Skyrim Guards Are The Worst At Law Enforcement

Sometimes, criminal scoundrels need to be stopped—it’s true. But dang, Skyrim guards, just because some Dragonborn get out of hand doesn’t mean you can just do whatever you want! Granted, it’s the guard’s willingness to do things like sick a vicious dog on someone or outright kill a suspect that makes this Cops parody by…

A moment to appreciate the excellent music of Assassin’s Creed IV: Freedom Cry. I liked the soundtrack for AC IV: Black Flag just fine, but I really like Olivier Deriviere’s work on Freedom Cry, which blends orchestral arrangements with traditional Haitian folk songs for a distinctive, evocative flavor.

The Console Wars Aren’t Just Real, They’re Personal

The Console Wars™ can often seem pretty dumb when you’re looking at them from within the sane circle of your home outward onto the dregs of Internet forums. What should be intelligent discussions turn into nasty rivalries and insult-throwing with fans vehemently and blindly defending big corporations. It’s all pretty silly, actually. But fan loyalty…

​Artist Turns The Hobbit Book Into Paper Sculpture Of Smaug

Books are art, you know? Sometimes literally. This paper-sculpture is the work of Danish artist Victoria, known on DeviantART as FarTooManyIdeas. She crafted it before the most recent Hobbit movie came out, “after watching the trailer many many times.” I’ve heard of words that “jump off the page” before, but this is taking it to…

Attention, new fans of bizarre fighting game Nidhogg, you might enjoy this brief, bizarre interview we did with the game’s creators nearly three years ago.

Soul Fjord, the Ouya exclusive by Portal creator Kim Swift and her team at Airtight Games (Quantum Conundrum), will be out on January 28. It’s free-to-play (with in-app purchases, of course, because nothing is ever really free).

Comic Book from Writers of Hitman: Absolution Isn’t What You’d Expect

People love the Hitman games for the meticulous ways you can take out a target. Wear an outrageous outfit, slide in between the shadows and NPCs and perform an assassination with meticulous stealth. Yeaaah, there’s none of that in the new comic from two dudes who worked on the last game featuring Agent 47. It’s…

Telltale Games says that the next episode of The Wolf Among Us will be out during the first week of February. After a thread on their own forums and on Reddit blew up with outrage over the lack of news as to when episode 2 would be coming out, the developer announced that “It’s been…
