This is some excellent Pokémon fan-art by digital artist Orioto. It would be cool to play a version with graphics and colors like this. To contact the author of this post, write to: [email protected]
It’s taken over three years, but Persona 3‘s excellent big screen adaptation has finally reached its end. [Note: As this is the fourth movie in a series, pretty much everything in this article is a spoiler for not only this film, but the film series as a whole. For a non-spoiler look at the Persona…

This is Sam Clovis. He is Donald Trump’s political advisor. Forget what you think of Trump or his politics, this guy totally looks like the coach from iconic Japanese manga Slam Dunk That coach, of course, being Mitsuyoshi Anzai, who is widely respected as one of the best coaches in Japan.

During a recent Street Fighter event in Japan, a handful of Chun-Li cosplayers were assembled for the Miss Chun-Li Contest. And the winner? The dude who was dressed like Zangief. Because if you are going to have a Miss Chun-Li Contest, you might as well give it to the muscle-bound entrant in tight, red underpants.…

Twitch released their look back on 2015tonight, and amongst all the “total hours viewed” stuff was something genuinely interesting: the top ten games streamed on the service for the year. Number one will shock you! (OK no it won’t). 1. League of Legends 2. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. 3. DOTA 2 4. Hearthstone 5. Minecraft 6.…
This had all the makings of a memorable dinner party. Good friends, good food, some wine…if only these were real people, and not Sims.
Eastshade is so pretty that I want to paint it. Fortunately, that’s exactly what I’ll be doing in the game. You play as a traveling painter on a massive Morrowind-looking island where you can compose paintings anywhere. Characters will give you items and secrets in exchange for them. I’m intrigued.

Maru’s boyfriend Paladinhad, until last week, never cosplayed in his life. Time for that to change. The pair (Maru is a cosplay vet) went together as Link and Zelda to AniRevo Winter 2016 in Vancouver, and looked fantastic Pic by Oshley Photography
Clustertruck looked cool when I first saw it. Now that I’ve played it? First opinion still stands. Below you’ll see me play through some of the alpha’s first few levels. Oh, and die a lot. The entire game isn’t due out until later in the year, but if you want to try out a few…
Firewatch is a first-person video game where you’re constantly reminded of your character’s feet, arms, torso and legs. That all looks very cool in the intended first-person, but pan the camera out a little and oh my god Artist Olly Moss, who worked on the game, has been tweeting these clips today, showing the game’s…
I got done reading The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers Volume 2 the other day, and it was awesome, full of stories like yakuza links to 80s studios, a video game kidnapping and a ton of fascinating interviews with Japanese developers. You can take a look here (or get it in a rad bundle…

Overwatch is back! And in case you were worried, no, Blizzard didn’t ruin it. Overwatch is, broadly speaking, very good—and has been since its first closed beta late last year. It’s a fun, lightning-fast team-based shooter that draws a surprising amount of character inspiration from MOBAs like League of Legends and DOTA 2. What Blizzard…
Now that Firewatch has been out for a few days, players have had enough time for the game’s Steam page to fill up with user-submitted screenshots. And hoo boy I knew this was a pretty video game, but I forgot that there’d be folks out there playing it on 21:9/double monitors, whose setup basically means…
I’m getting something about a “Shadow Chamber,” but I don’t quite understand what I’m supposed to do, exactly. I’ll click Tell Me More… Hmm… still not quite getting it…
