If you happened to be in Yokohama yesterday, then you might have noticed something incredibly adorable: a small "outbreak" of real-life Pikachu roaming around, being all cute.

Maybe This Hand-Drawn Mass Effect 3 Box Art Is The Best One
by Phil Owen
DsiderNot without a head of hair you are.
It's always a bit difficult to gauge the legitimacy of such things, e.g. whether a store employee stuck this on this GameStop shelf just long enough to take a picture or whatever. Either way I'm amused by this ugliness, as a Mass Effect guy.

The Majora's Mask Fan Remake Is Still Moving Forward
by Phil Owen
DsiderCan they beat the Cease & Desist? Only time will tell!
Everybody wants Nintendo to remake or remaster classic Zelda-er Majora's Mask , and maybe that is going to happen someday. In the meantime, some fans have been taking this matter into their own hands for a couple years now, as you can see above.

Studio Ghibli Is Not Dead Yet
by Brian Ashcraft
Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki recently said that his studio's demise was "inevitable." Today, there are quotes from Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki that are causing people to freak out, believing that the beloved animation house has decided to stop making films. People, stop freaking out. For now.

One Dude Sings Halo Theme In A Church, Sounds Like The Real Deal

DsiderStill literally the only thing I care about from this game.
I can't remember the last time there was a greater disconnect between what I was looking at and what I was hearing.

This is not how you deal with the Executioner Chariot boss fight in Dark Souls II, but waiting for the boss like this is way more badass. It is almost like you can hear the player saying "Welcome to Dark Souls II, bro".

Video Games Are Better With Dancing Pixel Birds
by Gergo Vas
French artist Kévin creates his animations in a rather unique way: by using Flipnote Studio, a downloadable application for the Nintendo DS. This makes all of his art look like something from a 90s handheld game.

Sony Won't Explain What's Up With PS1/PS2 Games On PlayStation Now

Metroid's Brightest Samus Suit, Now A Glowing 20-Inch Masterpiece
by Mike Fahey
Acquiring the glowing, bone-colored Light Suit was the coolest moment in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and one that deserves to be commemorated by a 20-inch tall, $365 glowing statue from First 4 Figures.

Hercules Was A Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson-Sized Disappointment
by Yannick LeJacq
DsiderI knew it wasn't going to be good, but I didn't know it was going to be this bad.
You have to steel yourself before going to see a new movie starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. It's an intense feat of mental conditioning, on par with the way Mr. Johnson hyped himself up before stepping into the ring during his glory days as a professional wrestler.

One Of World of Warcraft's Newest Dungeons Is A Moving Train
by Gergo Vas
DsiderFUCK THIS IS ACTUALLY A BRILLIANT IDEA GODDAMN YOU WOW
I'm pretty sure the developers at Blizzard liked Snowpiercer a lot, because one of the new dungeons in the upcoming expansion will be something similar. Most of the time we'll be fighting on a huge, moving train of the Iron Horde.

Black Bullet Irredeemably Ruins An Otherwise Good Premise
by Richard Eisenbeis
DsiderI am shocked. SHOCKED. This all makes sense somehow.
Back at the start of the spring season, as I wrote short summaries about all the season's then upcoming anime, post-apocalyptic tale Black Bullet was one of the anime I was most looking forward to. However, less than two episodes in I could already see that it was failing to live up to its interesting premise.

Mike Tyson's rehabilitation from ear-biting convicted rapist to popular culture hero is almost complete, with the former boxing star getting his own cartoon show on Adult Swim that's a lot like Scooby-Doo. Only, with Mike Tyson in it.

Link Dies 104 Times in this Ocarina of Time Supercut
by András Neltz
DsiderNotice though that they don't create many unique death animations, unlike infamous games like Dead Space, e.g. parasite slowly tears your head off, then attaches itself as the new head and walks away with your body.
I'm not saying that's a bad thing, this game's scary enough as it is without that additional stress. REDEADS GOD KEEP THEM AWAY
Balls in the face might be the deadliest of them all, but the other 103 threats were still dangerous enough to take out the Hero of Time . At least in this video.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Poster Has an Unfortunate 9/11 Reference

While the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie will be out August 8 in North America, it won't be out until September 11 in Australia. Paramount Pictures' Australia branch showed off the movie's poster, which is truly unfortunate.

The Steam Achievement That Nobody Unlocked
by Patricia Hernandez
DsiderThis is kind of amazing. Much respect to this creator for sticking it to cheevo whores, and people who completely miss the point of narratives.
Some achievements are too easy, at times only requiring players to do mundane things like pressing start. Some achievements pose an actual challenge to players, requiring people to earn their digital trophies. And some achievements? Some achievements just aren't possible, no matter what a game might say.

The Legend Of Korra Game Looks Like Tons Of Fun
by Mike Fahey
DsiderI'm so very much looking forward to this game.
Speaking of Bayonetta maker Platinum Games, the developer hooked up with IGN during Comic-Con this weekend to show off the first gameplay from the recently-announced Legend of Korra video game game. This I like.
