This is madness. Like, seriously what in the hell is going on. In northern China, multiple bulldozers apparently got so mad at each other that they started one of the craziest demolition derbies I’ve ever seen on a public road. It’s a legitimate royal rumble between heavy machinery. There are normal cars on the street driving around trying to avoid the ridiculousness that is giant bulldozers trying to ram the hell out of each other! Some of the bulldozers even got flipped over!
Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger has been one of the studio’s more successful comic book series over the decades. But that shouldn’t stop us laughing at Dagger’s “big old slice of tit window pie”.
It’s never been strange for Nintendo to delay a game until they’re happy, but Star Fox 2 was a rare moment it canceled a game that was almost done.
DsiderOh shit I didn't even know there was a sequel. I've got to get to the first one some time this year.
I played a lot of the first Banner Saga, and while I liked it
, it never really hooked me. The Banner Saga 2, however, has got its hooks in deep.
DsiderHAHAHAHAHAHA
That’s a lot of players getting rolled to death. The “Armor of Thorns” is a special set in Dark Souls III, covered in thorns, that does damage when rolling into enemies. The damage is minimal, but not when a whole group of players are wearing it in 4v1 pvp.
DsiderThe screen that alerts players that they've been locked out should play the Guile theme
Capcom’s finally beginning to detail a system that penalizes players who quit out of online play after losing. Oh, and Guile will be April’s DLC character.
Dsidershrugs
Not nearly as healthy as Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games but slightly more edible, Nintendo has teamed up with exactly the right American fast food restaurant to distribute Mario & Luigi Paper Jam toys.
DsiderI always wanted one of these but it'd be a nightmare to obtain now, I'm sure. Such an adorable little solution.
You can keep your crisp clear emulators or your PlayStation 2 backward compatibility. The best way to enjoy original PlayStation classics is with the tiny PSone and Sony’s plucky little LCD attachment.
Last week, the world got its first look
at Scarlett Johansson as Major Kusanagi in Hollywood’s upcoming Ghost in the Shell movie. The decision has been controversial in the West, and here is what some, certainly not all, of the folks online in Japan are saying.
Dsider:(
Voice actor Tarako is taking over the role of antagonist Monokuma in the Danganronpa series, Famitsu reports. Last year, it was announced that previous voice actor, 82 year-old Nobuyo Oyama, was suffering from dementia and unable to do voice acting work.
Ever wonder how they get cabinets in and out from Japanese arcades’ upper floors? At Club Sega, with cranes!
DsiderYou guys probably knew all this already, but I never actually looked into the whole thing myself
The word anime is often defined as “animation from Japan.” If only it were that simple! When you hear the word “anime”, images of large eyes and colorful hair come to mind. Maybe something like this?
Today in the New York Times Magazine there’s a pretty great story about the Minecraft phenomenon, approached deftly by Clive Thompson in a way that offers new insight into a story we’ve all heard thousands of times before.
DsiderSo this is what you downloaded, huh? Well, maybe I could tolerate it if they don't---
"It’s also a little too eager to start racking in that microtransaction cash. Thirty levels in and I’ve hit a wall, waiting for friends to help me unlock a barrier before I progress."
GODDAMMIT
Released this week for iOS and Android, Sailor Moon Drops is everything you every wanted in a Sailor Moon game, as long as everything you wanted was a Candy Crush Saga clone.
DsiderI wish I could say it hasn't gotten worse, but
The twisting controversies about the translation of Nintendo games, harassment, and the firing of one of its employees got even messier this week.
DsiderI still really want to read this series, but wondering whether I should wait for the trades as usual
Monstress is a comic-book series where incredibly messed-up things happen. We’re talking child slavery, lynchings and cannibalism. Thank the poets it’s also got a magical, two-tailed talking cat named Master Ren.
Dsideruuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGH
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Pokémon Company has been meeting with Hollywood studios to launch a big-screen, live-action version of Pocket Monsters.
Microsoft has launched a new CaptionBot, and the results range from impressively spot on to bwah.
Tomorrow on April 16, a special Sailor Moon exhibition is opening in Tokyo. Today, a special preview was held, so let’s have a look at what to expect.
DsiderYou know, I wouldn't be surprised if this ended up becoming the full canon version of Ryu sooner or later. I'm actually surprised they didn't push this version as the main one, since they were so eager to jump on using that new ugly Ken (not even the DLC one, the OTHER one with the shitty haircut).
You know him, you love him, Hot Ryu . And now, for a mere $900, you can own a 1:3 scale version of the hunkiest version of Ryu around.
Shin Megami Tensei IV: Final will come to North America this summer as Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, Atlus announced today. This is a totally new 3DS game that is set in the same world as 2013's SMTIV but tells a different story. It’ll be $50—that Atlus tax!
DsiderSORRY
Nintendo’s handling of the Virtual Console has been, by any measure, horrendous. But they’ve still got the rights to some of the greatest games ever made, including Zelda: A Link to the Past and Super Metroid, which both come out for New 3DS today.
There’s a new world record for beating Super Mario Bros. quickly—and it may be the fastest possible time that a human can achieve. That’s why Darbian, the man behind the new record, is now hanging up his hat.
DsiderCosplay has reached such insanely accurate heights in recent years that it's frequently blowing my mind.
Meet Korean coplay star Tasha, who as you’re about to see is straight up killing it as Overwatch’s Tracer.
Following its recent mobile release, the ninth Final Fantasy, originally released on PlayStation nearly sixteen years ago, has finally popped up on Steam.
DsiderHonestly there are worse things to celebrate
i cant believe it’s 4/13 its midnight rn this marks 5 years since souji seta almost fucking fell into his tv and died holy shit
happy 4/13
It’s for the Super Famicom-themed 3DS that Japan is getting
. As if the handheld itself wasn’t beautiful enough, now this? This should be on a gallery wall, not a retail shelf.
DsiderI love how his solution to his first big obstacle was "delete the character". I mean, what?
Before this weekend, I hadn’t played World of Warcraft since a Saturday afternoon in late 2005. That was the only day of my life I spent playing one of history’s most successful video games. A WoW-free decade later and with an archaeological curiosity, I’m giving it a fresh try.
