Donald Levine, a Hasbro executive credited as the "father" of the immensely popular GI Joe toyline, passed away this past Thursday after succumbing to cancer at the age of 86. Since GI Joe spawned the idea of and the term "action figure," Levine was actually a father to an entire industry.
Check out this huge Lego version of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man about to trash a minifig scale city. The impressive diorama was created by the Korean building team OliverSeon as a set to the Lego Ghostbusters Ecto-1. I know, I know—I love those guys too.
Transistor's 'Red' and 'the Kid' from Bastion, hand in hand. Jen Zee, the art director of Supergiant Games, celebrated the launch of their second game, Transistor with this adorable piece, where the main characters from the two games join forces.
DsiderThis just seems like what tumblrs always break down into eventually.
So probably gonna turn anon asks off permanently. Not exactly fond of death threats over absolutely nothing. Like a lot of people I’ve gotta agree this site is getting a tad bit ridiculous. If you look through my entire blog that’s toys and snarky comments about toys for something to hate me for you’ve got issues and should probably leave this site for a while.
DsiderI guess it's time to start homebrewing.
While Nintendo has officially killed off online functionality for the DS and Wii, the internet being the internet, people have found a way to keep it alive. Sort of. For now.
DsiderOh yeah hey, let's not go in a totally different direction from the tech demo this time k thx
Nintendo is arguably the world's most prolific game creator; capable of churning out hit after hit and focusing their efforts on a lineup of exclusive series that are known the world over. Despite these efforts, however, Nintendo has been in dire straits as of late. The Wii U's lackluster sales have been the subject of much scorn from investors, speculators and critics alike, leading some to call for current company president Satoru Iwata's resignation.
You know how it goes: something new comes along, and catches everyone's attention. Immediately, people think the new thing will corrupt society and make everything worse: this has been true for everything from books to video games. And yes, it also holds true for chess.
DsiderPerfect.
One of the most hyped, anticipated releases of the year. A talk show host who's notoriously terrible at video games. Get the popcorn.
DsiderJesus fucking christ, in Japan too? HAS NO ONE PLAYED RADIANT DAWN? THE FUCK PEOPLE???
If it's not completely obvious already, I only consider that game one of the best Fire Emblem games, if not one of the best SRPGs ever made. But there are so few people who have even heard about, let alone played it, that it makes me legitimately sad.
Nintendo just announced that Ike from Fire Emblem is returning to Smash Bros. So, he's not a new character to the series, but he now looks...different. And in Japan, some are mocking his pumped up appearance.
DsiderLook, I'm not ashamed to admit I still find this practice hilarious. Something about that censor sound just provokes a Pavlovian response from me.
"Already, Belial's sh** has fallen upon Caldeum"... and other bad news from Tyrael in this funny but also disgusting censored version of Diablo III, put together by Unnecessary Censorship.
DsiderGreat job on the console, but man that controller looks like ass. Not necessary to put decals on those anyway. That's something from the SNES era.
The dream of boutique video game consoles has been alive for a while now. But has wood paneling ever looked this good on a PlayStation 4? This Balolo cover certainly puts last year's attempt to shame.
DsiderWhat the hell minecraft, you so crazy.
We've seen many things built in Minecraft, but not all of them are functional. This Stargate actually spins, encodes chevrons, and most importantly, has a big watery explosion after the critical "Chevron 7 locked!"
One of the refreshing things about The Last Of Us' vision of the apocalypse was that it didn't involve destruction. Mankind hadn't been killed off by bombs, or aliens, but by nature itself, which was only too happy to reclaim our cities.
DsiderStill not totally on board with this, and you can see Team Ninja's, uh, signature style there, which I expected the moment I saw their names attached to this. However, if they somehow include Midna or other non-mainline characters in this game, I might have to take a look.
DsiderDunno if they'll ever bring this here, but if they do, I will certainly give it a shot. Sounds more interesting the more I hear about it.
"Yokai Watch? WTF is that?" was my first response when I heard about the 3DS game that had Brian ransacking toy stores .
Dark Souls II is lonely and beautiful without enemies and action. The newest entry in Andy Kelly's series 'Other Places' takes us to Drangleic, the kingdom where the events of Dark Souls II takes place.
DsiderLinking this because others must feel the disappointment of getting curious before discovering that it's just another moba.
If you like the sound of "Joan of Arc and Robin Hood cooperating to hunt down Little Red Riding Hood," then Crytek has the game for you.
DsiderOH MAN HERE IT COMES
DsiderI suspect others do this to me more often than the other way around. I try my best not to backpedal, but I've found familiarity often breeds increased foot-in-mouth disease.
do you ever read someone’s opinion about something and just go “okay for the sake of our friendship I’ll just ignore that”
DsiderThe aesthetic kind of gives the feeling of something halfway between Batman and Batman Beyond. Which of course begs the question if they'd ever do a Batman Beyond Arkham-style game.
I'm gonna say no. :|
Why look, it's gameplay footage of the next Batman game! Here's the new-gen-only Batman: Arkham Knight.
DsiderMy heroes in any PVP scenario are the ones who aren't just about the "pwning nubs" and do creative stuff like this.
Wearing an enemy's costume in Dark Souls II and scaring the hell out of others when they invade? That's absolutely doable.
DsiderWell, that's nice of them to be able to put limitations on the amount of people obtaining this nightmare fuel.
It really is. But getting your hands on this collectible Pullip doll is bound to be difficult.
DsiderOh god no, Team Ninja. Expect bonus levels featuring Zelda wearing something... er... something I'm going to pretend to be offended by. Still, something likely very uncharacteristic of the character as is Team Ninja's MO.
Zelda Musou, the hack-and-slash Zelda game, will be out August 14 in Japan. According to a Famistu leak, Team Ninja is also working on the game with Koei.
DsiderOn another note, look at that box set! Some nice selections there. And Ponyo. I don't know what the one in the upper right is.
Here's a thought: If the West is too lenient regarding controlled substances, then perhaps, Japan is too strict?
DsiderCan we get a baseball anime with mutants k thx
One of Japan's most popular baseball teams, the Hanshin Tigers, released a new poster that looks exactly like the poster for X-Men: Days of Future Past. That's no accident.
DsiderROFL! I'm glad he's still doing bits with this guy.
Even though it's completely fake, this still looks painful and dangerous. Martial artist Steven Ho uses a blood tube and a retractable sword to show how those fancy sword fight scenes are made.
DsiderThose employees are gonna have some brutal workloads.
Demon Souls and Dark Souls director Hidetaka Miyazaki has been named the president of From Software, the company said in an official release. That's terrific news for fans of those games. Good news for him, too.
DsiderI don't even
If you play as Nasus in League of Legends, good news: you can wear a skin that turns that character into Snoop Dogg. And naturally, he can do the "Drop It Like It's Hot" dance, as well as perform weed-related moves.
DsiderI'm gonna have to check this out soon!
so I played this free web game recently and it’s super obviously influenced by Zero Escape!! it made me really happy
