When the latest Neon Genesis Evangelion flick hit theaters this weekend in Japan, the next Evangelion film was revealed. And at first look, its title appears annoyingly pretentious. It is. But it’s also interesting. The teaser webpage this appears on has the world “final” in the URL. The text says, “Next time, a new Evangelion…
Sega is teasing its latest, unannounced game with this site. Full reveal later in the week.
The Tetsuwan Dash is a long running Japanese series that features boy band (and former Xbox 360 spokesmen) Tokio. On the show, the group tries to pull off a variety of feats, like building a foam house or seeing who can last longest on the least amount of money—stuff like that. This weekend’s show had…
To help launch the all new A-Class in Japan, Mercedes Benz is releasing an animated short in which the car chases after a noodle truck. One of the country’s biggest studios, Production I. G, carries out the animation duties, while Yoshiyuki Sadamoto of Neon Genesis Evangelion fame does the character designs. Miyuki Sawashiro lends her…
This weekend, when folks settled into dark theaters across Japan to watch the new Evangelion anime, they were, as with most movies, bombarded with previews. Sandwiched betweem the ten or so trailers, was a short, 15-second clip that probably made the audience’s collective mouth drop. Most people probably didn’t know what the hell they were…
Some gamers are very good at video games. Some are just awful. And that’s okay! Still, there must be common traits of crummy gamers, and that’s what a recent thread of Japan’s largest bulletin board, 2ch, tried to pin down. The name of the thread was “Common Traits of Zero Gaming Aptitude”, and the forum…
In Japan, Morinaga Milk Caramel has delighted sweet tooths for over a hundred years. Dragon Quest has delighted gamers for decades. And now, both come together in this yummy fan creation. Twitter user Cencho recreated DQ enemy Golem using the soft candy. Below is an image after the Golem has been defeated—and devoured. Since Golem…
Now that the world has moved on from making giant sharks float around by the magic of fancy air, we can move onto more interesting things like Portal personality cores. Thinkgeek are selling two variants of the item you see above, Wheatley or Space, for $20 each. Sadly, they’re not remote-controlled. They’re basically glorified balloons.…
GLUED is a short film released earlier this year by a team of students at Bezalel Academy of the Arts. It’s all about the problems a mother faces trying to deal with her young son, who is so addicted to video games it’s insane. The film, which took ten months to create, was the first…
Seventy hours. Two hundred pieces of glass. 250 feet of copper. An estimated one million colours. That’s the work that went into this Halo stained-glass window, and it was totally worth it. Not sure if the medium was intentional given the religious overtones of the series’ theme song, but that’s exactly why this works. 70…
Seeing as many of the third-party launch games on Wii U are already out on the PS3 and/or 360, those games are going to have to do one of two things. Or maybe even both of them. Those games are going to need to make real good use of the Wii U controller, and they’re…
I’m playing Assassin’s Creed: Revelations on PC right now, actually (as a refresher), and even a year on I’m shocked by how much better it looks than the console versions. Even though I shouldn’t be. The cleaner models are nice, sure, but it’s the draw distance that really sets the PC version apart. So I’ve…
I’m not a fan of furries. I just… the concept itself doesn’t concern me. It’s more the execution. All those big eyes, and weird proportions. Too weird. It’s slightly less weird, though, when you combine it with some awesome Skyrim armour. Then look at it in a gallery where it’s joined by Mega Man, Link,…
Did you get a Wii U over the weekend? Good for you! You go enjoy that. This question is for those, like me, who did not. I’m curious as to why you didn’t go line up and get one at launch. Are you waiting for more games? Better games? A price-drop? Different colours? Or have…
PC Perspective, the same guys who tore a couple of Wii U consoles up on launch night, did so while taking some very nice pictures at the same time. So if you’re sick of all these glossy press shots showing the outside of the Wii U, here are some glossy shots (and video) showing what…
This suit. Wow. When you try and create a replica of Kat’s suit of armour from Halo: Reach, you have some choices to make. One is to half arse it, another is to give up. Another is to spend 10 months creating the most incredible suit of armour we’ve ever seen. LilTyrant from the 405th…
In the past six years I’ve been through four Xbox 360 consoles and three PlayStation 3s. Which has been a pain, but each and every time I’ve been able to simply transfer my existing system account to the new console through the magic of the internet. You’d think that would be something Nintendo could manage…
The Wii U’s best trick is its lightning fast swap of the graphics on your TV and the graphics on the Wii U GamePad. The Wii U’s worst trick is the absurdly slow loading time users have to sit through when accessing the machine’s system menu or any of the applications in it. I shot…
NeoGAF user Trike claims, after messing around with the Wii U’s Miiverse, that his console suddenly allowed him to access the service’s debug/admin options. As you can see in the pictures posted above and below, he appears to have access to screens that let him monitor users, reset their passwords and even delete… something (whether…
If the Miiverse catches on, a new word will catch on with it: “Unyeah.”
