JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is one of the most recognizable and longest running manga in Japan—there are currently over one hundred volumes in print. So it’s no surprise that there is a new JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure anime airing this season in Japan. Starting back at the beginning of the story, this anime is set to cover…
In Japanese, making farting noises with one’s hands is called “te onara” (手おなら). And as universally funny as farting noises are (c’mon, they are funny), rocking out to “Canon Rock” with farting noises isn’t just humorous, it’s friggin’ awesome. Nico Nico Douga user Abeshi originally uploaded this clip. Talent like this is rare. We must…
The new version of Iron Chef has been canned due to poor ratings, reports Nikkan Gendai. Oh, also because it sucks
Run for Money Toshochu: Escape the Greatest Hunters in History on the 3DS, while virtually unheard of in the West, it is one of the most popular 3DS game of last year in Japan. Much like the TV show it is based on, Run for Money Toshochu: Escape the Greatest Hunters in History is set…
Nico Nico Douga user MuniMuni modeled Buddhist goddess Thousand-armed Kannon in a physics engine to see what would happen if the deity slapped someone in the face. Initially, MuniMuni created the goddess with all one thousand arms, but that turned each cluster of limbs into giant blobs. Instead, MuniMuni decided that 42 arms seemed a…
When not racking up scores on Konami music game Jubeat, Kya7y is on Twitter. And something she recently shared there, for lack of a better word, is amazing. Thirty years ago, she tweeted, her dad spent seven years and several months drawing this maze on a sheet of A1 paper that measures approximately 35 by…
This week, Japanese restaurant chain Gusto started running a new series of commercials. It features the above woman, a “handsome foreign man” as the chain’s website says, and two comedians. So, what’s the problem? The two Japanese comedians in the commercial, Ungirls, can be funny—at times. For this spot, they are “disguised”. This is a…
StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm is the upcoming expansion for StarCraft II. And as this opening cinematic shows, it starts with a bang. Heart of the Swarm will be out this March. The next expansion, Legacy of the Void, will be out at a later date. In case you missed it, check out Kotaku‘s…
Artist Tom Kyster wanted to paint a picture of Skyward Sword’s Silent Realm Guardians for a recent Zelda art show. Sadly, he missed the deadline. Happily, he finished the piece anyway and sent it over, because it’s pretty damn good. You can see more of Tom’s art at his personal site and blog
The Obama administration has a lot of important things to do. Weighed against acts of governing the world’s sole superpower, the Devil May Cry series is not important, no matter what some crazy fans might argue. Don’t tell that to the creators of this petition on the White House’s official site, though, who plead with…
The marketing for Alice: Madness Returns was dark. The game itself, though, was mostly just strange, with a dash of quaint. Why the disconnect? Well, according to the series’ creator American McGee, it’s all EA’s fault. In a Reddit AMA thread yesterday, McGee says that while Shy The Sun (a creative company brought in to…
Wanting to engage in the most literal type of role-playing there is, a woman has posted an ad on Craigslist seeking “2 or 3 women for Star Trek roleplaying”. The fact it has to end with the line “Nothing weird is going to happen” hints that, yeah, maybe some weird stuff is going to happen.…
Artist Cory Schmitz has, just for fun, taken the idea of redesigning the Xbox “brand” and run with it. I like where he’s ended up. Maintaining the green and prominent “X”, just about everything else we associate with the platform’s marketing is gone, replaced with something far cleaner and more distinct. Just, literally, an X…
Jeong Shin is a concept artist who, having previously worked at toy company Mattel, is now employed at Ubisoft Montreal, where some of the projects he’s worked on include Far Cry 3 and Watch Dogs If you like what you see here, you can check out more of Jeong’s stuff on his personal site To…
For a lot of people, myself included, the arcade racer was at the peak of its powers in the 1990s. Games like Daytona, SCUD Race and a guilty pleasure of mine, Namco’s Ace Driver, hit a sweet spot of visual prowess, accessibility and the opportunity for public showmanship. So it’s nice to see someone else…
You know, I thought I’d seen the ultimate in Iron Man cosplay last year, and from a decorative standpoint, I probably have. But Anthony “Master” Le’s outfits don’t shoot real lasers like this thing does. AnselmoFanZero from Laser Gadgets has built this incredible “Functional Iron Man Laser Gauntlet”, which does exactly as it says. It…
Check out this tribute to a bunch of different GBA games, if not character sprites from that era. Kind of makes me wish someone would try a game that tried this aesthetic out in full, but alas, YouTube user The Pixel Kingdom’s video will have to do for now. Game Boy Advance [GBA] Games in…
Finding out all the small, unexpected quirks of how different mechanics clash with each other in games is fascinating, and that’s basically the premise for all these Mythbuster-esque videos we regularly feature. Usually, it’s Halo 4. Not this time. Here are some Black Ops II myths put to the test by YouTube user defendthehouse, including…
YouTuber Kooberz has a ridiculous collection of Legos, and he uses it to keep us entertained. This time, he’s upgraded his Lego Wii to a Lego Wii U, complete with GamePad—which he actually built as a shell for his iPad! How cool is that? Also, Donkey Kong Country music makes this video eternally rewatchable.
Brought to you by YouTube user bloodrunsclear, the impressive editor behind fake trailers for Day Z and Dishonored, this movie is based on footage from actual movies (and custom voiceover). Ikaruga, you may remember, was a shoot-em-up for Dreamcast in which you had to switch between red and blue polarities in order to take down…
