Well, well. That LEGO The Hobbit rumor this weekend is true after all. Warner Bros. just announced the game but not a specific launch date for it next year. And it will release for Xbox One and PS4 as well as Wii U, 360, PS3, PC, 3DS and PS Vita. The game is based on…

Your Adobe Passwords Make For An Incredibly Easy Crossword Puzzle

When life gave him 153 million leaked Adobe accounts, complete with emails, encrypted passwords and password hints, engineer Ben Falconer made a crossword puzzle. A pathetically easy crossword puzzle. As the nice folks at Rock, Paper, Shotgun point out, the first thing you should do before playing Adobe Crossword is tocheck to see if your…

Battlefield 4 Jet Swap Shows Everyone How Teamwork is Done

Now, that is one impressive Battlefield 4 moment right there. One guy comes in low with his jet and jumps out while his teammate jumps into the abandoned plane and moves on (the GIF shows both players’ view). Switching jets like this really requires superb skills and teamwork. It’s even better to watch the full…

So, Which Pokémon Would You Say Is The Sexiest? Just Asking.

I love Pokémon. YouTuber Chris Sanders loves them too. Maybe a little too much. The creator of Pokémon First-World Problems returns with an all-new, all-different set of problems, and while I have to concede his points on at least number 10 and 1, the rest of his picks I find a little Farfetch’d. Awwww, yeah.

Chinese Store Clerk Gives Zero F**ks About Being Robbed

Anyone who’s ever worked in a convenience store or watched Clerks knows that the job is hard, not very rewarding, and there’s always a chance of running into a robbery scenario. One Chinese convenience store has gotten robbed so much that the store clerk who works there is no longer fazed when she gets robbed.…

Build Your Own Combat Car and Watch it Fail Hilariously

After all, that’s at least half the fun. This is Scraps, a multiplayer vehicular combat game currently in development for PC. Basically, you build your own cars in it then blast each other (or yourself) apart. It looks quite fun, judging by the gameplay trailer: It’s one of those pre-alpha proof of concept kind of…

You Might Think This Is a Star Wars VII Trailer. It’s Not.

This is exactly how I’d imagine the first trailer for J. J. Abrams’ Star Wars flick to look like. Except with more lens flare. And music from Two Steps From Hell. And some extra scenes with space battles in them. On second thought, it wouldn’t look like this at all. Director Todd Sandler calls his…

Skyrim Bow Is Real, Because This Guy Made It

Hey, it’s Harrison Krix. He’s built a Nightingale bow from Skyrim. It’s the real deal, yo. Well…OK, maybe it’s not magical, but the wood and string parts are real enough. It’s made mostly from whitewood, and while it won’t freeze enemies like it does in the game, it’s still got a “cool” effect of it’s…

An Xbox One Kinect Dictionary, For When It Just Doesn’t Understand You

The Xbox One’s voice commands, while generally excellent, have a problem. OK, two problems. The smaller one is they don’t always work. The bigger one is that you need to memorise a chart like this just to be able to use them properly. I will never understand why you say “Xbox on”, but not “Xbox…

Kinect “Inventors” Get Bought By Apple

Israeli company PrimeSense, who did a lot of the heavy liftingin the design of the original Kinect, have been bought out. Not by Microsoft, but by Apple. “Sources” tell website All Things D that the deal went through for around $360 million. While Apple isn’t commenting on why the company was bought, if iOS device…

When Video Game Bugs Are The End Of The World

Most video game glitches and bugs make it pretty clear they’re a bug. You’ll get flashing colours, or breaking objects, that sort of stuff. This Assassin’s Creed IV hiccup, on the other hand, could be a bug. Or…it could also be the end of days. Also, don’t let that gif fool you into thinking the…

Final Fantasy Outfits: Silly Characters, Terrific Cosplay

I know, we end up posting a lot of Final Fantasy cosplay here on Fancy Pants, but that’s mostly because there’s just so damn much of it. It’s rare that a Final Fantasy cosplayer can really stop me dead in my tracks, though, so hats off to neko-tin with this amazing Lighting Returns outfit, which…

What The PS4 And Xbox One Look Like To The Predator

Planet Extech have a FLIR camera. That’s a camera that does fancy thermal imaging. In other words, yeah, it’s how the Predator can see stuff, and it’s also how you’re going to see some great pictures of the PS4 and Xbox One. The site had a goal in taking these images: they wanted to show…

If you haven’t bought a PlayStation 4 and you’re looking for one on Black Friday, DualShockers says they’ve spoken to Walmart employees and know the times when additional stock will be made available. They assume the same is true for Xbox One.

Modder Solders His Own Xbox One Headset Adapter

Third party headsets are unusable on the Xbox One until Microsoft releases an adapter, which won’t be until next year. Your Trittons, your Turtle Beaches, your Astros and Afterglows, forget it. Except one audiophile, a guy with a soldering gun and a purpose, wouldn’t let it go. Reader alsybub says he made his Xbox One…

Twitch Taking a Harder Look at PS4’s Playroom After Livestream Mayhem

In light of the recent livestream antics on Playroom, the PlayStation 4 augmented-reality game set in players’ living rooms, Twitch.tv has felt compelled to restate its terms of use, which in effect forbids “non-gaming content.” For those who use Playroom (shown above), it sounds like a crackdown. To recap, the PlayStation 4 allows livestreaming to…

‘Xbox: Where’s My Free Game?’

When I hooked up my PlayStation 4, it already offered me two great games for me to play, three, if you count DC Universe Online. Had I not traded in a bunch of games for store credit the day my Xbox One arrived, I would have been able to, what? Play a fighting game with…
