RealmPictures’ concept was to build an immersive first person shooter level, and let unsuspecting people on Chatroulette take control of the protagonist. They had to make it perfect for it to be immersive, but it’s safe to say they succeeded.

Real-Life First-Person Shooter, Controlled Through Chatroulette
by Gergo Vas
DsiderUnfortunately you'd be foolish to actively try to get to this on chatroulette. Too many dicks along the way most likely.

Think Pixar, But Japanese
by Brian Ashcraft
DsiderNot quite as clever as I was hoping, but animation-wise this is an incredible effort. STEP IT UP ANIME CG
This is the closest I’ve seen to a Japanese-made Pixar-style animated short. So, I’m guessing it’ll be the closest you’ve seen, too.

50,000 People Are Watching Bob Ross Paint On Twitch Right Now
by Patricia Hernandez
There’s something really awesome about seeing people react in real time to brush strokes on canvas. It’s like every single thing Bob Ross does, no matter how gentle and delicate, is as big as a major play in the World Series.

A Three-Month Break Didn't Help This Anime
by Toshi Nakamura
DsiderSo sounds like it'll be entertaining enough, but as always "read the manga nub". That doesn't disappoint me nearly as much as these fuckers who are STILL calling it Kekkai Sensen. JUST CALL IT BBB, it's so much easier and I guarantee that no one will think you're talking about the Better Business Bureau.
Blood Blockade Battlefront was one of our favorites from the Spring anime lineup this year. But the final episode was delayed for three months due to apparently there being too much content. So, finally, after the three month wait, was the ending worth it? Well... Kind of...

Why the Original Captain America Is Mad At the New Captain America
by Evan Narcisse
DsiderI'm honestly kinda curious about this run, but why the fuck should I care really, when they're just gonna reboot it all again anyway
Steve Rogers used to be Captain America. Then a dramatic plot development made him old and he passed the mantle on to his best friend and superhero partner Sam Wilson. You’d think they’d still be cool after that. But, nowadays, the man who used to be known as The Falcon is on frosty terms with the original shield-bearer. This week, we found out why.

The Nintendo Console From The 80s Made For Recording Gameplay Footage
by Luke Plunkett
DsiderI remember that time back when I first realized I could record my own video games, but sadly it was too late for me to drum up the effort to do anything with that knowledge. I think I did a few tests recording Banjo-Kazooie but not much else.
These days, if you want to record direct video footage of a video game, all you need to do is press a button. But back in the 1980s, this was a complex and expensive process!

Today in Japan, Nintendo announced its first smartphone game. It’s a free-to-play title and called Miitomo.

Final Fantasy IV’s pixelated original overworld and all the locations on it got a beautiful facelift from artist TJ Townsend. Now it looks like a proper world map from a modern JRPG.

The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes: The Kotaku Review
by Jason Schreier
DsiderAs expected, the game sounds like total garbage if you're not playing with two people you can trust. No rush on this thing at all.
You might suspect that The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes is skippable, an inessential spinoff that is more time-killer than legendary adventure. You would be... correct.

The Best 80s Cartoon That Never Was
by Luke Plunkett
DsiderWas shared on Twitter by some other ppl at some point I think, this makes it easier to keep track of
There was an awesome Toy Story short released last year , about the gang’s encounter with the complete set of a very 80s toy line: The Battlesaurs. Those dinosaur warriors had an excellent theme song. Now they have an excellent fake intro, for the cartoon tie-in show they never actually had.

Japanese Vending Machines Now Lending Out Umbrellas

There’s nothing worse than being caught out in the rain without an umbrella. (There are worse things, but whatever.) If you happen upon a DyDo vending machine, however, you can borrow one for free!

Gaming Kickstarter Backers Getting Their Rewards, Thanks To Unexpected Savior
by Patrick Klepek
When Woolfe: The Red Hood Diaries raised $72,139 on Kickstarter, its creators hoped to kick off an episodic, sinister take on Red Riding Hood. But when the game was released, it bombed, and the developers filed for bankruptcy and cancelled some of the backer rewards. Then, out of nowhere, things changed.

Looks Like DC Comics Is Trying to Fix Its Massive Teen Titans Screw-Up
by Evan Narcisse
DsiderSo I actually had no idea that Teen Titans had been around for such a crazy long time.
The Teen Titans was one of the best concepts in the long, intricate history of DC Comics. It made sense that a team of sidekicks and superhero surrogate children—led by Batman’s partner Robin—would hang out together to get away from their annoying super-parents. But then DC changed their whole universe up in 2011 and the best iteration of the Teen Titans never existed. DC Comics now seems to realize what a massive mistake that is.
