Celebrating The Game Boy Micro

by Keza MacDonald
Dsider

I'm certain at this point that Nintendo will never make a console that looks this sexy ever again.

The beautiful little Game Boy Micro launched 10 years ago in the UK, and I fell in love with it at first sight. Unfortunately, I was 17 years old and had just moved out of my parents’ house, so I had no money to buy one. I’ve been looking to pick one up every since, but they’re surprisingly rare in good condition.

Smashing a Lego AT-ST With Logs Like the Ewoks Did Is So Satisfying

by Andrew Liszewski on LEGO, shared by András Neltz to Kotaku

The best scene in Return of the Jedi isn’t when Vader kills the Emperor, or when the Death Star explodes, or even when Han Solo thaws out of carbonite. It’s when the Ewoks take down an AT-ST walker using a couple of giant swinging logs, and it’s just as satisfying when recreated with Lego.

Cool Dad Puts His Kid In Command Of Cardboard MechWarrior

by Gergo Vas
Dsider

I love it when they do these. One of the few good uses of babies.

The tiny baby has no idea his cardboard BattleMech would be the deadliest costume in the play-school, while his dad—hidden behind the giant guns, holding the kiddo at his chest—is having the time of his life.

Apple's Boring Legal Notifications Are Now a Brilliant Graphic Novel

Millions of people use iTunes. Nobody reads the walls of text that show up every time Apple’s music software updates. Wait, you do? You’re a freak. So is Robert Sikoryak, who’s made a graphic novel out of the corporately mandated agreement, riffing off comics greats like Frank Miller and Charles Schulz.

The Curse of Kiseki: How One Of Japan's Biggest RPGs Barely Made It To America

by Jason Schreier

One day in March of last year, video game writer Andrew Dice wrote out a check for all of his company’s money. He stuck it in the doorframe at his business partner’s apartment in Portland, Oregon, then went back to his own place. (They live in the same complex.) He closed all the windows. Then, as he tells it, he laid down on his bed and picked up a knife, preparing to plunge it into his chest.

One-Punch Man Shows Why Manga Will Always Matter 

by Brian Ashcraft
Dsider

Yeah okay I get it! What it comes down to is that I don't want to have to dismiss one format over the other, but more often don't have the time/money to spare for both. And whichever one I'm introduced to first I like to stick with unless I like it enough (or like the content but dislike the presentation enough) to try the other side.

Anyway, I can't deny that the manga looks so much more crazy and dynamic that I should totally check that out.

There’s a One-Punch Man anime, so why even read the manga, right? Right? Um, no. Just no.
