We've all seen speedruns of popular series like Zelda or Mario, but thanks to Speedrun World Records, you can now watch a world record run from a random game with the push of a button. I'm a huge proponent of wasting time, so I've also prepared this list of the ten most interesting speedruns I've come across.
Just talk to each other. About anything. Use your imagination!
Complain about the heat. Talk about the games you're playing, the TV you're watching. Talk about your cat, your dog, your goldfish. Talk about that dream you had when you went to school in your underwear.
Have fun!
Me (Tim Rogers) and Stephen Totilo played Inti Creates's new Mega Man-like retro shooting platform action game Mighty Gunvolt Burst yesterday on a live-stream.
Indoor amusement park J-World Tokyo is rolling out a new Dragon Ball themed "virtual roller coaster" called "Zenkai Flying Nimbus."
Riana Møller is an artist from Denmark who in addition to working in games has also written and illustrated her own comic book.
Figma will be releasing a couple of Kirby Nendoroid figures later this year, one a re-release of their original Kirby, the other a brand new Ice Kirby. They have have umbrellas, Link's hat, and one is either sucking in or throwing up a star, and it looks kinda gross.
Budget carrier Jetstar unveiled a Spider-Man themed plane in Japan and filled it with Spider-Man cosplayers.
There are certain comic book characters whose characterisations are so canonically static that it becomes difficult to imagine them ever changing in a significant way. Take Galactus for example. Since he was first introduced in Fantastic Four #48, he's has done little else than threaten to devour planets.
The key takeaway from Castle Cats, a new free-to-play mobile game for iOS and Android, is that you can collect adorable feline versions of Harry Potter, Django, Katniss Everdeen and Cthulhu. Also, they are fighting an evil Pugomancer. The rest is a bit fuzzy.
In the hands of a skilled player, even a weak character can be a winner. Dominique "SonicFox" McLean proved that this weekend when he used The Joker, arguably one of the worst characters in Injustice 2, to kick Batman's arse.
Long before Wonder Woman fought all manner of gods, aliens and monsters in her adventures, she faced a beast so vicious and cunning that it had to be locked away a secret dimension within a magical labyrinth. When Theseus entered, he found the minotaur. Wonder Woman, though? She found the Devil.
It's not a trick question. Based on various depictions of the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, Professor X — a paraplegic mutant telepath with a supposedly genius-level intellect — somehow forgot to add wheelchair ramps to his own home. So we asked artists who have worked on X-Men titles over the years how the franchise's patriarch leaves his own house.
In 2003, when Second Life launched, all it took was a few customisation bars and the promise of infinite possibility to get users hooked on the idea of a virtual reality. Now, in 2017, our standards are a bit higher. "Immersion" isn't as easy to sell with a microphone, an avatar and some content creation software. Sansar, made by Second Life creator Linden Lab, is striving to meet 2017's standards — even if it may be getting ahead of itself.
It looks like even cartoon characters miss the '90s. Rocko's Modern Life, cancelled after four seasons in 1996, is set to return with an hour-long special, Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling, and Nickelodeon has brought back the original cast for one more adventure in O-Town.
Hideo Kojima is famous for being the driving force behind games such as Metal Gear and Snatcher. But today, we're going to talk about another of his games: Boktai, a quirky little Game Boy Advance title that asked the player to go outside and get some sun.
I love asking questions almost as much as I love listening to answers. Last week at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (AKA "E3", AKA "Electronic Three"), I got to do both of those things.
As you're no doubt already aware, Ubisoft showed off a trailer for Beyond Good & Evil 2 at E3. No gameplay footage was shown, leaving most of us wondering what the hell this video game would actually look like in the flesh.
In this video Creative Director Michel Ancel answers some of those questions.
Despite evidence to the contrary, a mechanical gaming keyboard doesn't need to have bright glowing LED lighting. Cooler Master's MasterKeys L PBT favours style over substance, losing the light show and adding some lovely thick keycaps to create an excellent sub $US100 ($132) keyboard.
