14.9.2021
Only three things in life are certain for a shonen otaku: tournament arcs, Studio Trigger series finales ending in space, and One Piece continuing until the heat death of the universe. I’d made prior attempts to read One Piece, but each time I got too intimidated by its length, which has...

This Game Could Genuinely Turn An Arachnophobe Into A Spider-Lover
10.9.2021
I do not like spiders. I wish I did, because spiders are objectively excellent. They have eight eyes, for goodness sakes. Let alone that they can make webs come out their bums. (Sub, please check.) They are essential for insect control (without them there would be famine), their venom may be useful...

7.9.2021
Cloud Gardens, which left early access last week, is one of those games that is both incredibly difficult and incredibly easy to pitch. The idea is simple—you plant seeds and then place objects which make those seeds grow. Sometimes the object is a beer bottle or a radiator or an apartment or...

Remember How All The Big Games Used To Come Out Right When School Started?
3.9.2021
Remember back in the day, when the new school year would coincide with the fall video game boom, inexorably intertwining the acts of learning and playing? When you’d come home from a long, hard day of trying to stay awake and spend a few hours in front of your favorite games to wind down? If...
Original Transformers Cartoon Is Free On YouTube
2.9.2021
I may be a tea-stinking dirty colonialist Brit, but thankfully the paucity of UK cartooning meant my childhood was Americanized (with a z) enough to at least include the first generation of the Transformers cartoons. However, worry not if it were never a part of yours, as Hasbro has added...
AI Gives Street Fighter Characters Human Faces
1.9.2021
While Street Fighter V’s character roster is (mostly) supposed to look human, everyone obviously has a cartoonish slant since the game has never tried to be photorealistic. Let’s imagine just for a moment, though, that Capcom was trying to make everyone look real.Read more

Look, I’m excited about Saints Row and Marvel: Midnight Suns and all the other big announcements out of Gamescom’s Opening Night Live showcase. But my favorite announcement of all concerns Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge. Yes, today Geoff Keighley revealed that, for the first time...
13 Years Later, Fan Gets Tricky Zelda Record In Smash Bros.
25.8.2021
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is one of the most frequently, and thoroughly, speedrun games on the planet. Having been released almost 25 years ago, the game has been explored to death, and yet gamers find a way. There was one version of Ocarina of Time left undefeated for 13 years: the five...
Pokémon Kimono Are A Very Good Idea
25.8.2021
Typical motifs for kimono include things like plum blossoms, sakura, maple leaves. They do not include Pocket Monsters, which is a shame because they definitely should. Kimono creator Misamaru takes her love of Pokémon to a new level by showing it off in traditional Japanese wear. “I decided...
Aliens: Fireteam Elite Isn’t A Great Aliens Game
23.8.2021
I’ve had many friends wish they were in my position—or offer their assistance—when it comes to reviewing video games. Much rarer is the opposite reaction, where friends demanded beers as compensation for forcing them to play a video game.Read more

Black Panther: War For Wakanda Is The Best Marvel’s Avengers DLC
18.8.2021
My least-favorite moment in the story portion of the free Black Panther: War for Wakanda expansion for Marvel’s Avengers is when the rest of the Avengers show up. Until then it’s the T’Challa and Shuri show, and it’s perfect. Read more
