New York Comic-Con’s Just Dance 3 stage was always filled with an interesting mix of cosplayers, but these are my favorite: A dozen assassins from Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed line dancing to Sugarhill Gang’s Jump On It with the help of Ubisoft’s other major hit… Just Dance. More »

Until last winter, 27-year-old choreographer Chase Brock didn’t know much about video games. Now he’s responsible for one of the best-selling Wii games in Britain. More »

At some point during E3, this happened, but we were far too busy working to see it. More »
My only coherent reaction is, “I didn’t know the Pet Shop Boys covered ‘Where the Streets Have No Name.’” Warning: man-ass at 1:24; nipple play at 2:21. Definitely NSFW. Same for the pics the Neo-Geo forum found, too. More »
I can’t recall the exact moment I finally decided to stop trying to make sense of everything that was going on at the Games Convention in Leipzig, but if I had to guess I would say it was somewhere between discovering the cosplayer hive and when these guys started breakdancing.
So Funcom and Eidos released Age of Conan, and hundreds of thousands of players have signed up…what now? The two companies have revealed their plans for evolving Age of Conan over the coming months, with heaps of new content influenced directly by player feedback in the pipes.
It all starts out later this month with a major PVP update, which they are calling “To The Death”. The update will institute consequences and rewards for engaging in PVP battles, including the promised PVP leveling system and a Fugitive system, that will make it easier for other players to hunt you down the more lower-level characters you kill.
Other planned updates include guild alliance warfare, allowing guilds to team up and even form alliance keeps while fighting over “wonders of the world” that grant special powers, a system of in-game achievements called Powerpoints that will reward players for completing various tasks with points they can spend on special gear and powers, new areas to quest in, and a combo-based dancing system motion captured from professional dance artists. Joy! Hit the jump for more details on the evolution of Age of Conan.
Previously we covered the inmates at Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center in the Philippines. But it was dark, so hard to tell whether they were actually dancing or trying to escape. Recently, a version in living colour has popped up on the internet. The three dancers in the front have ribbons around their necks which are supposed to be like the ones the anime characters wear. The colour clip really shows the world one thing: This is what musicals in hell look like. So remember kids, don’t get locked up in Philippine prisons. They’ll make you do things. Bad things. Like dance and wear ribbons.
Thanks, Brian! More »
