DsiderSigh gaming
"People prefer imperfect things," the creator of the incredibly popular, loved, hated and now-notorious Flappy Bird, Dong Nguyen, mused over Twitter last March, long before most anyone had ever heard of him or played his game. He was stating why he thought he'd be okay launching a video game that included some bugs. "They need something they can comment as a constructive feedback."
DsiderEven modern-day Peter Molyneux draws the line somewhere.
What does Dungeon Keeper's creator think of EA's roundly panned mobile version? "This is ridiculous," Peter Molyneux told the BBC. "I just want to make a dungeon. I don't want to schedule it on my alarm clock."
Dsider:D
I know a lot of people have been eagerly awaiting figma Marth from the breakout 3DS hit Fire Emblem Awakening. Unfortunately, you'll have to wait a bit longer, as he's on display at WonFes in the same unpainted for we've seen him in for a while. But there was good news for fans of the series as Max Factory revealed via teaser image that they're working on a new scale figure from the game. It'll be Pegasus Knight (and longtime stalker of leader Chrom) Cordelia.
I'm not sure how wise it is to reveal you're already preparing a second figure when fans are a little frustrated you haven't finished off the first one yet, but Cordelia's a good looking gal and I'm a big fan of the game, so I'm excited to see it getting more figure love. Let's hope Max Factory can motor on and show us a prototype soon!

And if that wasn't enough, shoveling snow in front of the Cup Noodles Museum in Yokohama.
DsiderSeriously? You couldn't at least use the pre-Other M version of ZSS, better designed and without those fucking heels on her boots? Go fuck yourselves.
Least we're getting The Major, Archer, and a version of Link worth owning. I wish Satsuki's figma were of her non-transformed uniform, but that's just me. I see a Yowapedal figure in there too, haha.
If you're tuned in here, you just want to know what Good Smile Company and its army of subsidiaries have ready for you to start pre-ordering and drooling over. They've decided to make things a bit easier and just gone ahead and posted all of their new figure projects. Now you just have to recognize all of them.
What stands out to me are the newest Nintendo figma releases, Zero Suit Samus and Link as he appears in the most recent Link Between Worlds. Not terribly surprising considering how well those two did in last year's sales. Kill La Kill continues its run with both a figma and Nendoroid of Satsuki Kiryuin. Also, this wouldn't be a show without a new Miku, as now Sakura Miku will be receiving a figma.
What else do you guys spot that you're interested in? There's certainly something here for everyone, just have to look under the right boxes.

Of the many figma we've seen from Wonder Festival so far, but the most interesting might be ... a horse? Yes, there's a figma Horse now, or rather, figma PLUS Horse. The source material is Attack on Titan, but it's safe to say that there are going to be a ton of figures that could make use of it. Why not figma Link as a stand-in for Epona, for one example? The Tomopop staff already hates that I brought that idea up because a lot of them are feeling compelled to buy it ...
So yes, there's a figma-scale horse on the way. What are your plans for it?

DsiderThis meme made me laugh harder than expected, even though I don't recognize a lot of them--- wait, is that Cure Peace and the human form of the Red Oni? WHY Japan.
This weekend, Japan was slammed with on heaviest snowfall from one storm since January 1994. Tokyo received 8.7 inches, with Matsumoto getting buried with the heaviest amount at over 19 inches. Amongst all the disruptions, social media users found themselves being amused by a TV interview in which a young man embarrassed his girlfriend with a bit to TMI.
Here, the young man told the interviewer that he enjoys being together with a loved one during a snow storm... which prompted a hit of blushing and a whole lot of tribute art.
Tagging on Pixiv is inconsistent, but the dominant one is "feel special"

DsiderNo Arena? No Smash? Not even Skullgirls? NOT INTERESTED.
The lineup of games for this year's EVO fighting game tournament were unveiled last week. There'll be six games, and sadly, Smash Bros. is not one of them. Yet.
Forget the cash, downloads and merchandise: you know you've really made it when law enforcement agencies start using your game's name for raid operations.
DsiderIt's true, while the original Japanese series seems to have better (well, more interesting) stories and execution than Power Rangers ever did, there isn't much of a contest with the opening theme. As the article says, it's all about dat metal.
Which is better, Power Rangers or its Japanese counterpart? Tofugu.com compares the American series we all know and love to the Japanese super sentai series which served as inspiration to the original '93 show, Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger. A great read for any Power Rangers fan.
DsiderYES PLZ
This past weekend, Japan was hit with a snow storm. And like in 2013, people took to the street and created some wonderful snow sculptures.
DsiderI had no idea who was voicing her since I never got that game, but this is good news all around as far as I can see.
There's an animated movie based on Ninja Theory's PlayStation 3 action adventure Heavenly Sword this year. The second trailer for the film (via IGN) is a rock-infused tribute to the reason this is all happening — Anna Torv.
DsiderI dunno if using a character model who looks ugly as sin was the best example here.
Sure, the difference between playing the PC version of a game on minimum and maximum settings is a big one. It's supposed to be. But the gulf between the less-intensive option for The Elder Scrolls Online and the all-of-the-things alternative looks massive.
DsiderPriorities. (I'M KIDDING, but you know it's gonna happen first anyway :| )
"Persona 5 first, then the economy."
- President Obama in a historic State of the Union address to the nation.
"Nope", the anime.
Based on that hilarious text post.
Kinda wanna translate this into Japanese. Been a while since I did some English-Japanese comedy translation work and always enjoy the challenge. Hmm….
DsiderLook, let's face it, these games aren't about the zombies anyway. They're about being complete assholes to other human beings.
Open-world survival games where you need to worry about other people more than the fantastical enemies. Hugely successful creations that are in alpha and are nowhere near finished. Weird shit happening when people mess with each other. Yes, Rust and DayZ are pretty similar. But, as of last night, only one of them will have zombies.
"Housed within the Control Capsule! Protected by Rinkas! Eyeball armed with a Laser Brain Attack!! The massive Assist Trophy Mother Brain joins the collection!!" Masahiro Sakurai, in his latest Screenshot of the Day Miiverse post, presents the upcoming Smash Bros. games' newest assist trophy: Metroid's Mother Brain.
In honor of last night's appearance by the cast of The Walking Dead, Conan O'Brien and his team put together this amazing zombie show opener that's more entertaining than an entire episode of AMC's drama.
DsiderSee, now if Iwata had sold the Vitality Sensor like this, maybe the entirety of the Internet wouldn't have laughed at him.
Horror games can be scary enough on their own—do we really need one that measures our heart rate and gets harder as we get more scared? Maybe we do. Maybe. We. Do.
DsiderKids, there's nothing more cool than being entertained by some game you like, but if someone tries to distort it in a place or in a way you feel uncomfortable, that's NO GOOD. It's your nostalgia! No one has the right to ruin it if you don't want them to! So what do you do? First, you say NO. Then you get outta there!
Didya hear? Sonic and his friends are getting a facelift—and being that he's one the most iconic video game characters out there, people have reacted strongly to his new look.
Why do Mega Man characters pose with four fingers held up? I didn't know either, but now I do, thanks to the latest "Fast Facts" video from Lore.
DsiderI'd like to think this means the bubble's getting closer to bursting, but most mobile game users are still too stupid and gullible for that to ever happen.
While some are still trying to come to terms with just how Flappy Bird got to the top of the App Store charts, another game has come along that will make you wonder just what the hell is going on.
DsiderOkay, that's pretty cool.
At this point, we all spend most of our time bracing for a zombie attack anyway... might as well see what happens when people actually experience one.
DsiderYES! YES!
OK, take your usual cynicism for online petitions and give it a rest for a day. Here's something we can all get behind, even if you're like me and not even an American.
DsiderThose googly eyes, man
DsiderNegative points for never playing a Kirby game, negative points for referencing Other M with the first sentence. Negative points all around!
Nah, I can never be mad when someone discovers the joy of Kirby games, better late than never. I just hope this game takes its time getting here, because I've got too much stuff to work with right now and would feel awful for having to shelve it.
Confession time: I have never played a Kirby game before now. But if they are even half as well done as Kirby: Triple Deluxe, I really need to do the entire back catalog.
DsiderThought this was gonna be Powerglove's FF4 medley, but I guess now there's *another* band I'm gonna have to look up.
Good morning. Here is a rock band covering Final Fantasy IV music as a crowd nerds out at Magfest in Maryland. It is awesome. Enjoy.
DsiderNot sure I needed THAT much crafting, but let's see how this does.
Ubisoft's JRPG-inspired Child of Light is out April 30. It'll be $15, and available digitally just about everywhere—PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and even Wii U.
