More than two months after release, it’s still not possible to pirate Just Cause 3. The same is true for Rise of the Tomb Raider, released for PC in late January. Cracking computer games used to be measured in hours or days, but now, it’s turning into weeks and months. The nature of piracy is changing in a big way.
DsiderWell, let's see if I get anything useful out of this at all. I will do all I can make to make my mii into some kind of asshole.

Nintendo is now taking pre-registrations for Miitomo, their upcoming smartphone app

Digimon, medals, money, and more all carry over when someone goes through Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth a second or third time.

Marshall Clark made this N64 console last year. It’s not actually made of wood, but through a careful application of paintwork (and some airbrushing), he got it looking pretty damn close.
This spring, a Yu-Gi-Oh! cafe is opening in Tokyo for a limited time, serving up Yu-Gi-Oh! themed food and drinks. There are no photos yet, but one day, there will be.
DsiderTHANKS FOR YOUR WONDERFUL FUCKING SCHEDULING SPLATOON

Splatoon players have some pretty strong opinions about one of the oldest fights in video games, Pokémon Red versus Pokémon Blue.
Dsider"Important"

The confusion around the self-censored Fire Emblem petting/touching mini-game is finally ending. We now must clarify that, while the American version of Fire Emblem Fates will not let you rub allied characters in exchange for gratitude, it will indeed let you tap your spouse in order to wake them up.
DsiderFUCK

Want to make sure you back something up indefinitely? Then you could do worse than a digital data storage technique that uses laser light to store 360 terabytes of information on nanostructured quartz for up to 14 billion years.
DsiderThis is beyond grumpy.

This is Koyuki. She is a 9 years-old, a Scottish Fold, and never looks like a happy camper.
DsiderAnd there you have it. Now, let's see if it actually makes it to these shores in one piece.

True to its title Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem is a mix of the two games, but if you expected a dark and depressing tactics title, you’re more than a bit off the mark.

Impressive mecha-building skills! LEGO enthusiast Jason Corlett built an enormous Striker Eureka Jaeger from Pacific Rim.
DsiderIn case anyone has way too much time on their hands.

We’re living in a goddamn Golden Age of television. But there’s also way too much TV to keep track of, and a few shows get the lion’s share of attention. So here’s our list of 16 recent TV shows that haven’t gotten their props. Time to start binge-watching!

Joseph Delgado is my new hero. The 21-year-old computer science student at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, took his Oculus Rift Development Kit 2 and morphed the 8-bit NES classic into a virtual reality adventure. It looks super fun.

Firewatch is a first-person video game where you’re constantly reminded of your character’s feet, arms, torso and legs
. That all looks very cool in the intended first-person, but pan the camera out a little and oh my god.

Eastshade is so pretty that I want to paint it. Fortunately, that’s exactly what I’ll be doing in the game. You play as a traveling painter on a massive Morrowind-looking island where you can compose paintings anywhere. Characters will give you items and secrets in exchange for them. I’m intrigued.

Dark Souls fans are trying to win $10,000 by making videos attempting to explain the game’s confusing narrative, and a few of them are pretty brilliant.
DsiderReally, the only thing anyone should be whining about at this point is the dual audio thing.

You might have heard that Fire Emblem Fates is getting rid of the infamous ‘petting’ mini game for western shores. But even with that aspect of the game gone, much of the experience is still brimming with suggestive content.

Forget getting carried like a bride or a princess, the new thing, it seems, is getting hauled about like a bag of rice.
DsiderHAHAHAHAHA

Twitch had a Smash Bros. competition with an unusual challenge as an extra addition. People had to sit on a couch-shaped mechanical bull which was controlled by Twitch chat. There’s no way something like this would end well.

Which company does a creator like Scott Cawthon turn to for toys based on a property with powerful mass appeal but tons of creepy evil? Five Nights at Freddy’s had McFarlane Toys written all over it, and so will the boxes of the upcoming construction sets.

Undertale now has an official jazz album. Like “Determination ,” the first Toby-Fox-sanctioned Undertale cover album, “Live at Grillby’s” takes a bunch of Undertale’s most memorable tracks and reimagines them—this time with gorgeous jazz. I bet Greater Dog is secretly a bomb-ass sax player.
