Washington DC’s subway is scheduled to be shut down for an extended period of time
to deal with a slew of deferred maintenance
. But after today’s service problem—literal waterfalls in one station—maybe DC’s Metro needs a vacation sooner than that.
Here we go again: A jaguar that was brought out during an Olympic torch event earlier this week was shot and killed shortly afterward when it escaped its handlers. The local Games organizing committee is now investigating the incident, but animal welfare advocates say the big cat should never have been there in the first place.
Mighty No. 9 designer Keiji Inafune was deeply frank about his latest game’s development troubles on a stream meant to celebrate its launch. It’s not something you hear very often from typically quiet Japanese game developers.

At Touken Saryou in Akihabara, you can eat, drink, and look at beautiful, yet deadly, cold steel.

DsiderThere seems to be a lot of confusion over what any of that means exactly, but really if it means an M rating over here and not T, we should be fine. There is some stuff that obviously can be cut without affecting the game at all.
Koei Tecmo’s President Hisashi Koinuma talked about Omega Force’s upcoming Berserk title, where he shared info on the game’s ratings, series creator Kentaro Miura’s involvement, and more.

DsiderYeah okay whatever, I won't believe it until I see it. And by "it," I mean the reviews.
Last Friday, io9 was among a group of journalists invited to the London set of Justice League. There director Zack Snyder, star/executive producer Ben Affleck, and everyone involved all had one, simple message for us: We know. And we’re trying.
DsiderWELP
Mighty No. 9 is finally out. Yet, it looks like some of the people who made it all happen are having difficulty getting their download codes or simply figuring out what exactly is going on.
Dsidersigh
Meet Geguri. She’s 17 and very, very talented at Overwatch. She’s so good that after beating rivals during Nexus Cup qualifiers, other players accused her of cheating.
With the worldwide box office topping $370 million, Duncan Jones’ Warcraft has stolen the title of top-grossing video game movie from Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Didn’t we hate both of those?
DsiderI was already aware of and getting the Zelda stand for my Midna amiibo (BECAUSE SHE DESERVES IT), but now I have something fitting for the mario series amiibo too, nice.
DsiderNOTE: I haven't watched the videos and probably won't, but I suppose I can thank these guys for one thing now.
Just because a game was released in 2014 that doesn’t mean it’s undiscoverable in 2016. Thank YouTube for that. Thanks, YouTube!
DsiderI just wish this could have been animated like BTAS for old times' sake.
“We believe Bruce Wayne is just as important as the Batman,” a Telltale rep said at E3 this week as he began playing through a demo of his company’s new Batman game. What followed was proof that Batman The Telltale Series may have more Bruce Wayne in it than any prior interactive Dark Knight adventure.
DsiderThey're all there for Summer Lesson, I'd bet my life on it
On Saturday, PlayStation VR pre-orders began at Japanese retail shops. The VR headset won’t be out until this October, but if the lines are any indication, Sony could have a hit on its hands.
DsiderI wasn't aware that Koreans knew about other Blizzard games
DsiderAnd the funny thing is, they still make these underhanded pitch jokes today
Or at least those of us who gathered every DNA sample in 1997's The Lost World: Jurassic Park video game. We scored a very special message from Mr. Goldblum, urging us to “call a member of the opposite sex” and “Get the stink off.”
Whenever I see a new trailer for Horizon Zero Dawn, I mutter to myself: “please don’t suck.” Based on the 30 minutes I played this week, things are looking promising, and it’s not just the big stuff: it’s the game’s smaller details, too.
DsiderI'm actually more happy that there's essentially a mod that gives Cammy pants for the first time ever
PC gaming continues to bring us ridiculous crossovers, this time mixing a little Street Fighter V with Overwatch.
If you’re a PC gamer, the big news out of E3 this year was Microsoft’s decision to (finally) re-embrace PC as a gaming platform
. If you buy their games on Xbox One, you’ll get them on PC as well (and vice versa). For big games, however, Microsoft’s been awfully Microsoft in recent times. Their store or bust.

The director of Final Fantasy XV says they haven’t worked with the new consoles from Microsoft or Sony yet. In fact, he says he found out about the upcoming Project Scorpio while sitting in Microsoft’s green room.
DsiderI enjoy the story he made up for her in the later photos. I should also go back and finish Riviera one day. My pile of shame will haunt me across all lifetimes.
Now available in stores across the country, Game Developer Barbie is here to prove that anyone has the power to create crappy match-three games, even if they only have five points of articulation.
DsiderI've unfortunately begun to imagine a trailer to a Mario game in the vein of that Kojima trailer from E3 now.
We got to see Nintendo challenging conventions with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild at this year’s E3 and the company is looking to do the same with Mario, which we’ll see in about a year or two.

DsiderHoly shit!
The next Zelda game isn’t out yet, but eagle-eyed players are already finding all sorts of cool easter eggs.
E3’s press conferences are great for showcasing all those fancy-pantsy new games but, more importantly, they’re also an invaluable source of the most glorious corporate folly: a place to revel in poorly-conceived skits, mirthless misfires and moments of such inexplicable lunacy that its impossible to see how anyone ever thought they might be a good idea in the first place.
DsiderLinking this again even though we've already seen it because, seriously, how in the hell
During an interview with Chinese streaming service Bilibili, famed British actor Sir Ian McKellen was asked to read a bit of Fate/stay Night.
DsiderDigital only, I guess it's that time for Vita now. Whatever, I'm prepared for it.
Just as we thought E3 2016 was over, Atlus had one more surprise to share with fans by announcing that they’re publishing FuRyu’s upcoming PS Vita RPG Caligula in North America and Europe in Spring 2017.

Dsider"Circumstances?" That's all you can fucking say? "CIRCUMSTANCES?"
I'm sick and tired of this fucking PR garbage, and the pointlessly tight-lipped nature of the industry over there. People are willing to address the problems if you would JUST FUCKING TELL US about them beforehand. But nope, they're happy to keep running their businesses as usual while wondering why Japanese games outside of Nintendo's (and even they're beginning to ruin that) continue to lose market share over here.
I'm not even pointing fingers at any specific area anymore, I'm just blaming the entire goddamn country at this point.
Longtime Ace Attorney series producer Motohide Eshiro talked about how Capcom would like to bring The Great Ace Attorney overseas, but a certain circumstance is preventing it from happening.
