DsiderHe's doing narration, so he doesn't have to die in this one!
DsiderThey really do love sitting on keyboards huh
The PS Vita is not dead in Japan! Just a friendly reminder. To mark SaGa Scarlet Grace’s release, Sony is releasing special PS Vitas in Metallic Red, Glacier White, and Black with a total of seven different design variations.
DsiderCool, thanks for including Zubats and Golbats in this promo. You fucking idiots.
If you play Pokémon Go from October 26th to November 1st, you might notice an increase in spooky apparitions. That’s totally intentional!
After weeks of rumors and hedging, it’s official: Donald Glover will be playing the young Lando Calrissian in the standalone Han Solo Star Wars movie.
DsiderWestern games may be able to get through this with some finagling (because they're more likely to pick up scabs). Dubs of foreign games though, god help us. If you thought they couldn't get worse...
The indie scene may actually benefit during this time since the vast majority of those titles don't need voice. Honestly, I think people have gotten too spoiled on voiced lines, and agree that these guys aren't getting properly compensated for the demand, regardless of what I think of the quality of some of those performances.
Following an announcement on Monday, voice actors within the Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists have begun their strike against certain video game employers as of 3:01 AM EST today. Kotaku has reached out to the involved parties.
DsiderCool idea but for one of the worst instances in the entire game. You can imagine my cringing every time this guy said something positive about gnomes.
More players are dying in the depths of World of Warcaft’s Gnomeregan dungeon than there’ve been in years, thanks to the revelation of a ridiculously powerful new boss tucked away in its depths. Say hello to Endgineer Omegaplugg, and then goodbye very quickly.
Soon, you’ll be able to buy indie games, in real life, at a local GameStop. Indie game distribution service IndieBox will be sending physical copies—in actual boxes—to 1,200 GameStops as a part of their GameTrust initiative. Nuclear Throne, Rogue Agency, Axiom Verge and Chariot (all $19.99) and others will be available with instruction manuals, discs, soundtrack CDs and Steam keys.
DsiderThis thing is too hilarious. I can't believe how much I like the pokemon designs this generation.
It was sad enough to read about how Mimikyu dresses up like a popular Pokémon because it also wants to be loved. It’s another thing entirely to hear Mimikyu sing about its woes.
Twitter, Spotify and Reddit, and a huge swath of other websites were down or screwed up this morning. This was happening as hackers unleashed a large distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on the servers of Dyn, a major DNS host. It’s probably safe to assume that the two situations are related.
DsiderPretty cool looking. But I didn't expect to see a young Conan O'Brien in this story, of all places.
Natasha Romanoff has been a superhero. She’s also been a spy. Right now, she’s somewhere in between the morality of those two poles. Before she was either of those, however, she was an assassin. This week’s new Black Widow comic shows the first time the young Natasha killed someone. It’s nasty.
DsiderI haven't used Junkrat, so I didn't catch these. Also I was too busy going, "Why the hell did they bring this loser back"
The latest episode of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD featured a slightly unhinged Australian demolitions expert. You can probably see where this is going.
DsiderFunny story, Troy Baker was the original dub voice of Kanji, but in all subsequent entries (including P4G) he was replaced by Matt Mercer, who actually managed to sound nearly identical. He and Laura Bailey gave the best dubs in P4 easily.
Troy Baker does voice work for almost every video game released on every platform made by every company. He was even in Persona 4. He will not, however, be in the English-language version of Persona 5.
Ladies and gentlemen, here’s the system that will be replacing the Wii U (and possibly the 3DS) as Nintendo’s main home gaming system. Meet the Nintendo Switch. It will launch in 2017.
Dsidernot sure if want
Koei Tecmo studio Ruby Party, known for their work on the romance simulation Neoromance series, is working on a new visual novel 3DS game for Attack on Titan, this week’s issue of Famitsu revealed.

It is the Wild West. Gun drawn and at the ready, you prepare yourself for the next unfortunate collection of words to stumble across your path. You level your pistol, fire, and branch off to the next bit of narrative. This is Words Must Die.
DsiderSo by this logic, Interstella 5555 would have been removed from here if the site had existed back that was released. *insert rant about why I don't participate in anime forums and never will*
Yesterday, acclaimed American electronic musician Porter Robinson released an anime. Shelter is the short and tender story of a girl living alone in virtual reality, rendered by Japanese animation studio A-1 Pictures. Over the last 24 hours, it has received overwhelming praise. And, after its swift removal from Reddit’s 420,000-strong anime subreddit, Shelter has also become the latest peg in the debate over what actually defines “anime”— a debate that has apparently resulted in death threats to /r/anime moderators.
The Legend of Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets is a nearly forgotten spinoff title originally made for the Super Famicom Satellaview but a new fan English translation has brought the game back to the masses.
DsiderAlso whoa that black squirrel just went up and perched on that other guy's shoulder as he was talking
It’s tough to beat the chess hustlers in New York City’s parks—unless you’re the best chess player in the world.
DsiderYeah, something about this seems problematic as far as the recruitment stuff goes.
"Her bust-waist-hip measurements were listed as a “national secret”"
Okay, that part's kind of funny though.
In the past, there was a tradition in the U.S. military to paint pin-ups on aircraft. Today, that tradition lives on in Japan. But there’s an important difference: they’re not cheesecake pin-ups. They’re anime girls, and they’re not only on aircrafts, but also recruitment posters.
DsiderThat's it guys, I'm done. If you want something of mine, best start taking inventory. After I finish playing P5 next year, I'm gonna go walk into a volcano.
Just when we thought we were over the Candy Crush Saga frenzy, CBS, Lionsgate and King reveal plans to turn the hit mobile game into an hour-long, live-action TV game show.
Cheating might win you a game, but it won’t win you any friends. In this case, the red-handed dickhead didn’t get either.
Dsiderstop
STOP
STAHP
The battle between flora and the undead has taken many forms over the years, from the original flower defense to full-blown third-person shooter. Now we can officially add collectible card game to the list, with the launch of Plants Vs. Zombies Heroes, aka Hearthstone with lanes.
DsiderSpoilery stuff, so just for Al. There're some details I missed here that are interesting.
HBO’s Westworld is draped with the trappings of the horror, action adventure, Western, and horror genres, but it’s best understood as a mystery. The show doesn’t exactly have a coherent, unified plot so much as a tableau of vignettes and characters whose interconnectedness is only vaguely clear. The more that the show reveals about its setting, the less straightforward it all is.
Dsiderwhat... the... fuck.
Now that the special demo for Pokémon Sun and Moon has dropped for some regions, players are making some incredible discoveries—including what may be the best Alolan form of any Pokémon we’ve seen so far.
Dsider:(
Hungry? Like, really, really hungry? Then you need to visit the Tokyo noodle restaurant known as Ramen Shop, because if you can eat one of their huge bowls of ramen in a certain amount of time, your meal is free.
Members of the Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) are threatening to strike against eleven game industry employers in a protest seeking changes to their contracts.
Okay, so we don’t know for sure that Rockstar is working on a new Red Dead game but… come on! It’s going to happen eventually.
