Frog Fractions 2 has been unearthed. A collective called the Game Detectives discovered the sequel to developer Jim Crawford’s viral, psychedelic browser game inside another Steam game after a two-year hunt.
I admit, I have not seen the new movie Passengers. I have, however, read what the plot is about from various places, including this nicely detailed account. When I heard the basic story, it reminded me of something. Something I saw in an old book about spaceships. A comic. A weird, creepy, old ‘50s comic.
DsiderStill have to play basically everything on this list besides ZTD. I still have the first Dishonored to play through, but you know, first-person...
From puzzlers to JRPGs to, uh, more puzzlers, this was a good year for video games. And my top 10 list will probably not surprise any of you.
DsiderI'm seriously never buying an Oculus, I think everyone involved is fucked in the head at this point
Dov Katz, the head of computer vision at Oculus VR, was arrested near Seattle on December 21 for allegedly soliciting sex from an underage girl. According to charging records, Katz allegedly attempted to pay $350 to have unprotected sex with someone he thought was a 15-year-old girl.
how come we’re always forced to choose between kids and a job??? i dont want either
DsiderOh my god
A Florida woman has won a battle which will allow her to keep her pet alligator. An alligator which wears a jacket, rides an ATV and looks a lot like Diddy Kong Racing’s Krunch.
As part of Japan’s quest to make Ghost in the Shell real, a 1/2 scale Tachikoma robot is going on display in Tokyo and Osaka. It’s not yet on sale, but according to Famitsu, folks can enjoy communicating with the smart app connected bot.
I am Australian. I have noticed online that people who are not Australian seem to work under the assumption that this is an island of death, where every step you take you run the risk of being bitten, stung, impaled or eaten alive by a murderous wild creature. I am here today to tell you that they are only half right.
Today’s new Overwatch comic was delightful and, among other things, revealed that Tracer is queer. She shares a nice smooch with her partner, Emily, and that’s pretty much the end of it. It is, however, a bit much for Russia.
Two of us saw Ubisoft’s attempt at transmedia franchising, and we did not care for it. Not one bit.
There’s a reason why Crabs Adjust Humidity, Humanity Hates Trump and Cards & Punishment might sound familiar. Their cards might look familiar, too—so familiar that the popular card game Cards Against Humanity has been forced to buckle down on those and several other lookalikes.
To mark Gravity Rush 2's release, Japanese TV is showing a special Gravity Rush anime from Hideaki Anno’s Studio Khara. Dubbed Gravity Rush The Animation Overture, the trailer looks great.
Dsiderson of a bitch
Suikoden II should have probably had a New Game Plus. Between the time-sensitive Clive quest, the branching endings, and the grueling decisions over which monsters to recruit, there are a lot of reasons to replay the game. Well, as it turns out, a replay-friendly feature might’ve actually been in the works.
Blizzard just released a new Overwatch comic, and it’s a refreshingly joyous look into the lives of the game’s heroes. Especially Tracer.
DsiderOh shit this is the one everyone's been waiting for
Street Fighter V’s holiday update is here, bringing with it festive holiday costumes, the debut of Akuma and tons of tweaks and balance changes, but the most entertaining change of them all is tweaking matchmaking to ensure frequent rage quitters wind up playing each other.
DsiderUgh, I already bought the JP version of this too. I'm still not expectant of all the Nintendo artbooks to get localized here yet.
Darkhorse Comics has announced that the artbook featuring concept art, storyboards, weapon designs, and more is finally headed to North America.

DsiderThat's a shitty reason to completely remove all the stuff that people loved about the older Paper Mario games.
The producer of Color Splash acknowledged the lack of original characters in the game and said, if given the chance to continue the Paper Mario series, he would want to create a "different system."

If you’ve ever wondered how the dozens of layers of SCORE and EXPLOSIONS and WOMP sounds come together to blast your ears during a movie trailer, try watching one without any of those things actually in the clip.
Mass Effect 2, one of the all-time greats, is currently free on Origin for PC users as part of Origin’s “On the House” program. That’s a good deal!
DsiderAWWWWWWWWWW SHIT YEAH it looks like a fantasy series!
Famed JRPG maker Atlus is setting up a new development arm caled Studio Zero to work on a new project.
I have to name all of my webms because I use VLC like a terrible person so I like to call this one 2 Cheeki 2 Breeki.webm
DsiderShared because I like this line in the intro:
"It’s as if Nintendo is pulling a Weekend at Bernie’s with the Wii U, sporadic big game releases briefly animating the console’s corpse long enough to maintain the illusion of life until March."
The Wii U spent 2016 on life support, relying on a slow trickle of exclusives to keep owners from pulling the plug completely. As Nintendo prepares to release the Switch in March, the Wii U readies its dying breath.
DsiderJust an interesting story about how such a standard in fighting games had such a disastrous launch and post-launch dev cycle.
It’s funny to think of a fighting game having responsibilities, but that’s exactly where Street Fighter V found itself on the verge of its mid-February release date earlier this year. As the follow-up to what was arguably the genre’s most important release in decades, there was a lot riding on Street Fighter V’s success. Would it be able to maintain the fighting game community’s massive growth over the past seven years, while also providing a worthwhile platform for hardcore competitors?
The Legend of Zelda on NES had a sprawling world by the standards of 1980s console games. While decades ago people used to draw their own maps to try and keep track of where each dungeon and secret, alternative methods now exist. Like, for instance, 3D printing a replica of the game’s entire overworld.
A few days ago, user Aerrix posted on Reddit that she had won Secret Santa. That’s because she had taken part in Reddit’s annual gift exchange, and instead of receiving a nice holiday gift from just any old stranger on the Internet, she got a package in the mail from the richest person in the world: Bill Gates.
DsiderFYI
Almost a decade since Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 was released, we now know the answer to an age old question, originally poised by Nappa, of whether the big, burly, bald fighter’s goatee would grow if he went Super Saiyan. The answer, of course, is yes.
DsiderRelevant first comment in there too
Vitaly Bulgarov is a concept artist who used to work at Blizzard on stuff like StarCraft. He’s now working on something a lot cooler.
