Metal Gear Fan Remake Gets Konami’s Blessing
by Eugene
DsiderOkay, that's pretty nice on Konami's part. Also pretty nice would be moving up the release of Suiko 2 on PSN, now that it's been confirmed. DO IT.
Fans attempting to remake the original 1987 MSX Metal Gear game on PC have been given the blessings of Konami.

The Legend Of Zelda Didn't Make The LEGO Ideas' Cut
by Mike Fahey
DsiderSo apparently it's due to Nintendo being in a deal with K*NEX that none of this is happening. Of course, I wasn't a fan of this particular idea, so maybe by the time that deal is up we'll have some more complex options like the other one that didn't get, uh, cuusooed.
Fans of Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda franchise and LEGO toys breathlessly waiting for the results of the LEGO Ideas Winter 2014 review results can exhale now — the results are in, and Link won't be appearing in plastic brick form.

Creepypasta Wiki Issues Statement Saying Slender Man Isn't Real
by Luke Plunkett
DsiderDisclaimers for Dumbasses. This is our modern society, folks.
The tragic events in Waukesha, in which two young girls are accused of stabb ing a friend, have brought internet myth Slender Man into the mainstream spotlight. So much so that the Creepypasta wiki, unofficial home to stories involving the character (and others like him), has had to issue a statement confirming that he is not real.

Now, Here Is How You Celebrate Transformers
by Brian Ashcraft
DsiderUnfortunately, this event was riddled with movie-version models.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of Transformers. There's a big expo going on for robots at the Venetian Macao in, well, Macau.

Watch Dogs: The Kotaku Review
by Kirk Hamilton
DsiderWow. This is sounding pretty bad in many parts. I think even some of the more severe civil rights zealots have a case against this. Sounds like many of the problems come about as the result of sheer laziness, and that's a real shame.

Luigi Isn't The Only Troll In The New Mario Kart
by Patricia Hernandez
Luigi might be a cold, calculating jerk in the new Mario Kart, but he's not the only one with a goofy stare. Almost everyone flashes a hilarious look just before messing someone else up, as the replay mode in Mario Kart 8 shows us.

The Human Body Has Trouble Gaming For 90+ Hours, It Seems
by Luke Plunkett
DsiderI guess this dumbass' dream is to become a statistic one day.
Neal "Koibu" Erickson once played video games for 90 hours straight. Since that obviously wasn't enough, he recently tried to game for 120 hours straight.

The Most Disgusting Oreos I've Ever Tasted
by Mike Fahey
DsiderTLDR: DON'T DO IT
You're looking at an extreme close-up of the horrid goo smushed between the vanilla cookies of the Limited Edition Fruit Punch Oreos. It looks like meat paste. Meat paste would probably taste better.

Some Players Are Hunting Down Minorities In Watch Dogs
by Patricia Hernandez
DsiderThanks guys. THANKS, for making us all look fucking terrible. I hope you all choke to death.
Ubisoft's latest open world game, Watch Dogs, lets players assume the role of a hacker named Aiden Pearce. Pearce uses a cellphone app to learn more about the strangers roaming Watch Dogs' version of Chicago—and some players are using this information to kill digital minorities.

DsiderWhat the fuck... is this music. Well, it's not as bad as the original SF4 theme, but still.

Luigi Is A Total Jerk In The New Mario Kart
by Luke Plunkett
DsiderOkay, this actually made me laugh hard. Well done Mario Kart.
The best thing about the new Mario Kart game is the replay mode. Through smart use of character focus and camera angles it brings a little narrative to each race. In this case, a simple overtaking becomes something more sinister.

Gigantic LEGO Star Destroyer Is Pretty Much Perfect
by Luke Plunkett
Dsider(;_;)7
SNOT is a building term in LEGO that stands for "Studs Not On Top". It can be a pain to plan, but the results - which hide the brick's trademark studs - are often worth it. Especially when you're building a Star Destroyer that's over two metres long.

Real Mass Effect Sniper Rifle Does Not Need Calibration
by Luke Plunkett
DsiderIt's cool that they keep making these replicas, but it's very important that they don't ever make one of the Geth Plasma Shotgun. SERIOUSLY, DON'T DO IT.
Mostly because it doesn't actually shoot anything. It's just a life-size replica. One that brings the N7 Valiant sniper rifle out of the game series and into the real world.

The Ten Most Useless NPCs in World of Warcraft
by Gergo Vas
DsiderNot mentioned in this video is a tauren in the Orgrimmar inn named Gamon. He only exists for this rogue pickpocket quest, but he's an attackable NPC by anyone, and since he's in very close proximity to the bank and auction house, you can hear him being killed on a regular basis. He's fun to test out new skills or weapons on too. His timely death throes are honestly one of my favorite memories of the game.
Not everyone sells epic mounts and top-tier PvP gear in Azeroth. Some NPCs just stand in the middle of busy cities, and besides getting one or two pointless items from them, their presence is absolutely pointless. Wowcrendor collected ten of the most useless ones in his latest video.

by Richard Eisenbeis
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, a music game built around the series' excellent soundtracks, came out for the 3DS around two years ago. Now, a sequel, Theatrhythm: Curtain Call, is out in Japan and I am happy to report that it is far more than just an updated track list .

Internet Porn Comments, As Depicted By Lego
by Patricia Hernandez
DsiderOn a related note, I didn't know there was a Lego chicken suit.
People say the darnedest things on porn comment sections. On their own, the comments can be a source of amusement. But "reenacted" in a more innocent context with Lego, the comments become hilarious.

Watch Dogs Would Make A Pretty Solid Bollywood Movie
by Yannick LeJacq
DsiderGoing off one of the comments on this, hacking through song would be an interesting idea.
Watch Dogs has been out for all of two days, but Ubisoft's hacking-themed open world game has already proved a big inspiration for one Bollywood movie.

The World's Oldest Video Game Publication Is Closing
by Luke Plunkett
It's been announced that publisher Future has plans to close a number of its video game sites, among them CVG. Games websites open and close all the time, and people losing their jobs is always a sad thing, but this one hits particularly hard because of CVG's long history. A history longer than any other games publication on the planet.

EA Shuts Down Longtime Game Studio Mythic Entertainment
by Jason Schreier
DsiderBusiness as usual at EA. I don't know the studio that well myself, but I know they're just as much a casualty as the other studios EA has fucked over after purchasing.
EA has shut down Mythic Entertainment, the longtime video game studio most recently responsible for Warhammer Online and the Dungeon Keeper reboot for mobile platforms.
