Horrid Friday The 13th NES Game Gets This Special Edition Figurine

Friday the 13th, the 1989 game, is widely considered to be one of the worst video games of all time, certainly one of the worst ever made for the NES. So of course it rates a special edition figurine — Jason Vorhees in the strange purple getup he wore for the final, deeply unsatisfying boss battle.


There’s No Shame In Imagining Comic-Con As A First-Person Shooter

Plenty of FPS-parody videos have been filmed since, well, close to the beginning of the FPS genre. But my favourite aspect of this one? (Apparently filmed at New York Comic-Con last month.) Once this enters “Deadpool mode,” the shame-o-meter goes to zero.


Turns Out A Comic-Con Is Pretty Good Place For A Rap Video

This music video by Chicago-based rapper Kid Static was at this year’s WonderCon and it nicely captures the fun to be had when nerds gather. Kid’s rhymes ain’t half bad, either.


A Wonderful Stop-Motion Video About A Trip To This Year’s Comic-Con

Reader Rob Gilpin went to the San Diego Comic-Con this year, and decided to document his trip a little differently. Instead of writing a blog, or spamming his Instagram account with pictures of convention food, he took 815 photos and cut them into one amazing stop-motion video.


Deadpool Takes Comic-Con By Dancing Storm

That Deadpool. He certainly has some moves up his skin-tight sleeves. Wait for the end of the video to see Deadpool’s dance stylings truly come to shine.


Quite Possibly The World’s Greatest Game Of Thrones Cosplay

Game of Thrones sure opens itself up to some creative cosplay, but this really takes the cake. Not only does it capture two characters from the books, it immortalises one of the most iconic moments from the second book/season.


This Comic-Con Music Video Reminds Me Why I Love You Nerds

Besides picking the absolute best song possible for this video — “Superhero” by Tim McMorris — this video that captures the cosplayers of The London Film & Comic Con is heartwarming.


Behold The Glorious Epicentre Of Costly Comic-Con Collectibles

From Marvel to DC, Mass Effect to Halo, Star Wars to The Lord of the Rings; the Sideshow booth was the crossroads of fan service at the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con.


Watch The Last Of Us Panel From Comic-Con

In a lot of ways Comic-Con has been more interesting than E3. It certainly seems like more interesting video game news has come from the show. This video, just released by Sony is particularly worth watching — it’s a condensed version of The Last Of Us panel, attended by the game’s Creative Director, Neil Druckmann and its Game Director, Bruce Straley.


Dust: An Elysian Tail Makes Me Proud Of My Right Forearm

Earlier this year, a visit to Epic Games in North Carolina inspired me to forever etch a combat-ready green rabbit on my person. The art I used as reference for the vibrant tattoo was created by independent animator turned game developer Don Dodrill, the man behind the unbelievable 2009 XNA Dream Build Play competition winner Dust: An Elysian Tail.
