That’s One Cool-Looking Aliens Map For Doom

Alien-themed maps and mods fit really well with Doom’s atmosphere. No surprise one of the earliest full conversion mods for the game was an Alien one. Modder Kontra Kommando is making a completely new one from scratch, and it already has some really good-looking sprites and textures. Took me a few days to fully re-color…

Inside Japan’s Attack on Titan-Themed Shop

As far as I know, the only Attack on Titan specialty shop in the entire country is at Universal Studios Japan in Osaka. Of course, these shops are always there at the end of Universal Studios attractions. But last year at Universal Studios Japan, there was only a kiosk. This year, there’s still a kiosk,…

One of the Last Pokémon You’d Expect in a Fighting Game

Nobody thought this would ever happen, I’m sure. But Chandelure, a Ghost/Fire Pokémon that attacks opponents’ spirits, is joining Pokkén Tournament as a playable character. Bwah? Since Pokkén Tournament is an arcade fighting game, you’d probably expect Pokémon able to throw punches and kicks—or, at the very least, an actual body to take blows. Yet…

Wolfenstein 3D, You Look Different

Castle GAFA 3D is Wolfenstein. Just not as you know it. Built by Jankenpopp and Zombectro (via Free Game Planet & Alpha Beta Gamer), at first glance it looks like the classic Wolfenstein 3D. Only…the game’s food has been replaced with random computing and internet icons. And Hitler’s gone. And there’s…Facebook? And it boots from…

Someone Is Making A 3D Version Of Undertale

As you’ve heard us say over and over and over, Undertale is brilliant. It certainly didn’t need 3D to achieve that. The prospect of an extra-dimensional Undertale, though? Innnteresting. Russian game developer Edik Zykov doing the deed, applying Undertale’s 2D sprites to a 3D world. The end effect is… surprisingly not-horrible! It’s got a snazzy…

Pro Counter-Strike Team Collapses, Blames Cheating Team Member

Titan had all the potential in the world, but they were never able to capitalize on it. Cheating-related troubles punctured their boat back in 2014, and now the org’s founder is claiming they ultimately capsized it. And yet, fans seem more mournful than angry.

Duke Nukem’s Voice Turned Down Republican Campaign Job

Jon St. John, probably most well-known to you guys as the voice of Duke Nukem, was asked recently “to be the advertising voice of the Republican party’s leading candidate for president.” He said, and I’m paraphrasing, get the hell outta here. St. John wrote on Facebook yesterday: I don’t like to turn down jobs…especially when…

Ark: Survival Evolved’s PC version just got a new dinosaur and, uh, dung beetles. The dimetrodon sounds like a cool protective creature, but the dung beetle is downright intriguing. Described as a “wondrous organic biofactory,” it can eat excrement to produce a special oil (note: not for sex stuff) that powers generators and fertilizes crops.…
