I hope you're all ready to see IRL Crowds/GALAX and its ensuing disaster

“Can injustice survive transparency?” is the tagline of a new app called Vigilante, that purports to empower its users to stop crimes in progress, turning each of us into Daredevil or Luke Cage. In practice, though, Vigilante could end up being the best way to waste your time, annoy the NYPD, or just maybe get yourself killed.

But where the fuck are the NYC screenings

Critically-acclaimed anime movie Your Name is on a U.S. theatrical run that may qualify it for an Academy Award. It’s the story of a small-town girl and a Tokyo boy switching bodies—and changing each other’s lives—that is the fifth highest-grossing anime film of all time. In 2003, Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away won the Best Animated Film Academy Award. Your Name, the WSJ reports, signals a “changing of the anime guard.”

Girlfriend Allegedly Calls Out Overwatch Character's Name During Sex, Fandom Replies 'Same'

by Gita Jackson

I feel like Overwatch is doing for the west's fanfiction market what Touhou has done for Japan's doujin market

On r/relationships, posts about someone’s partner calling out the wrong name during sex are a dime a dozen, but rarely do they involve Overwatch. User whotheheckisjesse wrote on the subreddit to inquire, well, who the heck is Jesse, and why did his girlfriend call this mysterious name during sex?

I don't know what it's going to take. I really think we just need to start revoking technology from those who aren't responsible enough to use it.

A 36 year-old trucker was arrested in Aichi Prefecture, Japan for allegedly hitting and killing a 9 year-old boy. The suspect is quoted as saying he was playing Pokémon Go, wasn’t looking at the road and “didn’t see what was in front of him.”

You're Going To Get Fewer Early Game Reviews From Everyone

by Stephen Totilo
Dsider

Only further guaranteeing that I won't buy any games from them at launch. Although, you'd be stupid to be buying a Bethesda game at launch and not expecting a bad time in the first place.

Bethesda Softworks, makers of Skyrim, Dishonored and other fine games and franchises, is the latest game publisher not rushing to have their games reviewed, at least not by game reviewers. It’s something all gamers should factor in as they assess when and how they’ll find out if a game is worth their time and money.

The Creators of Pokémon Explain Why Sun and Moon Has Ridiculous Monster Designs

Haunted sandcastle Pokémon. Dugtrio with luscious hair. Garfield’s shitty blue cousin. Maybe you’ve noticed, but Sun and Moon’s creature design is actively absurd, sometimes bordering on troll-like. All of that is intentional, according to the creators.

I Got Internet Famous Leaking Gaming Info From Toys "R" Us

by Steven Ulakovich
Dsider

Very much the rule of the internet, if not in many other areas: No one will be your friend unless you've got something they want.

In the 15 years I worked at Toys “R” Us, I sometimes leaked information about video game sales and posted them on message boards. I even took games home early to try them and then post impressions, which was very much against the rules. I did this because I’ve always been excited about video games and because,…
