Throwing the hammer or the javelin might have made sense in ancient times, but we don't live in ancient times. We live in the modern times with modern things to chuck around. You know, like computer servers.

Persona Q's Battle Music Refuses to Leave My Head
by Richard Eisenbeis
DsiderShit. Guys, I don't think this cartridge is ever leaving my 3DS.
I played a lot of Persona Q this past weekend, but let me say, I loved every moment I spent in battle—though not because of the (perfectly adequate) battle system. What I really loved was the game's awesome battle theme.

by Gergo Vas
DsiderOne of the marks I've had against this latest MK, but I'm done arguing. I got enough enjoyment out of just watching those wonderful gifs/videos to ignore that whole list and just leave it be.
With all the clone characters, like Metal Mario or Pink Gold Peach, introduced in Mario Kart 8, DeviantART artist TheBourgyMan played with the idea of what a future Mario Kart would look like if Nintendo stayed on this path. Well, I hope we don't have to wait 9 more games for Grandpa Mario.

Peter Dinklage’s Destiny Performance Is…Not Great
by Kirk Hamilton
Dsider:|
We were all pretty excited when Bungie announced that their much-hyped multiplayer shooter Destiny would feature beloved actor Peter Dinklage, best known for his show-stealing portrayal of Tyrion Lannister on Game of Thrones, in a large voiceover role.

Modder Finds Files for Better Graphics in Watch Dogs’ PC Version
by Evan Narcisse
DsiderOh, my bad, Ubi still had a few more yards to dig with that hole they were working on.
Remember how stunning Watch Dogs looked when Ubisoft unveiled it two years ago? When the game came out last month, many players said that the visuals for the open-world game didn't live up to that original teaser. But now an intrepid modder has found hidden files that improve the way the game looks, right there in Watch Dogs' PC version.

The One Thing Nintendo Left Out At E3
by Jason Schreier
DsiderLet's be clear, I'm not discounting Nintendo's amazing announcements this year AT ALL. But it still would be a major boon to them and to us to unify VC purchases across accounts instead of binding them to systems. It makes the least sense of anything they've done these last several years. Even Mii stuff.
It has long been a silly and antiquated tradition for video game fans to pledge allegiances to companies, or to declare that any one of those companies has "won" E3. Yet it's also inevitable that every single year at the Video Game Extravaganza in Los Angeles, one or two companies will have a stronger show than the rest. They are The Winners.

Max Factory must be regretting this Avenger’s license pretty hard right now. Not only is their offering more expensive but comes with less than Bandai’s and by the looks of it Cap and Thor’s faces will be as bad as Indiana Jones’.

The Honest Final Fantasy VII Trailer Wants An HD Remake, Too
by Mike Fahey
DsiderOne thing I forgot that would be a necessity for any kind of remake, is that they'd NEED Uematsu for it. I simply can't trust the guys they've got working there currently on FF stuff. I mean, if they wanted to entrust Revo with it on the other hand...
C'mon, who wouldn't want to see these heaving, panting examples of manhood rendered with high resolution HD graphics?

Cover of Game of Thrones Theme Music Puts The Show's Version To Shame
by Robert T. Gonzalez on io9, shared by Mike Fahey to Kotaku
DsiderIt's alright, but they've gotta stop exaggerating with their titles like this. You can't make such claims for a cover if there's no strings in it.
In this remarkable ensemble, 23 of New York's finest low brass musicians join forces to perform a bass-quaking cover of Game Of Thrones' rousing opening theme music. If you weren't already excited for tonight's season finale, this ought to do the trick. Seriously, give it a listen. This will give you chills.

42% Of Americans Believe God Created Humans 10,000 Years Ago

A new Gallup poll shows that 73% of Americans subscribe to creationism in one form or another, including 42% who take a literal interpretation of Genesis. This is a result that's changed very little over the past three decades.

Vita Fans Are Pissed About Final Fantasy Type-0
by Jason Schreier
DsiderI really don't know why Sony & Co. are so determined to treat Vita like a bastard child, when it's so inherently powerful and versatile.
Just eat the costs on those ridiculous memory cards and actually promote it worth a shit, and people might actually acknowledge its existence.
Earlier this week, just after press conference day, Square Enix dropped one of E3's biggest bombshells—that they're remaking the PSP game Final Fantasy Type-0 and bringing it to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One here in North America.

Two Men Arrested for Allegedly Stealing...320 Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards

I reckon there are things thieves brag about stealing: diamonds, exotic cars, and priceless art. Wonder where Yu-Gi-Oh! cards fall into that mix. Especially ones stolen from high school students.

Breaking Bad actor Aaron Paul's latest role is starring in Xbox One ads. In them, he sits on the sofa, and, according to some, turns on strangers' Xbox One consoles. The nerve!

Ubisoft In Trouble Over Comments About Female Characters

DsiderKeep digging that hole like a pro, Ubisoft.
Shortly after Ubisoft upset many Assassin's Creed fans by saying that it had abandoned its plan to have female characters in its new game's co-op multiplayer mode, the company returned with another controversial explanation about the absence of women in its games—this one focused on Far Cry 4.

Final Fantasy VII Bike Game Could Pave the Path to a Full Remake
by Toshi Nakamura
DsiderI feel like this line of thinking is only the path to tears, but I will say that CyberConnect2 is definitely capable of creating a full game like this. I seriously want to try this bike game out.
Ever since seeing the intro to Final Fantasy VII remade in HD in that PS3 tech demo back in 2005, I've been silently, yet skeptically, hoping for an upgraded remake of the game. Well, it looks like the reality of such a remake may or may not hinge on Square Enix's upcoming mobile game.
