Being An Immortal Dungeon Lord Ain’t Easy

Steve Lichman is a pretty funny comic about a skeletal dungeon lord. Who has problems. The first volume of the comic is pretty much done, but there’s a Kickstarter for a fancy hardcover version here. Looks cool! The comic is a joint effort by Dan Warren and Dave Rapoza, whose art we’ve featured previously on…

HD Remakes Of Old Pixel Games Look Like Hard Work

Whether you love or hate the idea of HD remakes of classic titles, it’s fascinating reading up on just how much work—and deliberation—there is involved in scrapping a game’s entire visual canvas and starting over. When a company remakes a 3D game, it’s not that dramatic! We usually see an increase in the number of…

Fantastic Dishonored Cosplay Does The Game Justice

One of the most enduring things about Dishonored is Viktor Antonov’s art direction, leaving us with a game that’s somewhere between a grim Victorian painting and a 21st-century cartoon. It’s tough getting that across in cosplay, but hoo boy, these guys have nailed it. Cosplayers Ryazik, Vikand Mikamiare in the suits here, while the photos…

Captain America Cosplayer Proposes…In Front Of Captain America

Cosplayer Kelsey Jenkins and her boyfriend were at Salt Lake Comic Con on the weekend—dressed as Black Widow and Captain America respectively—when they got the chance to meet Marvel stars Chris Evans and Hayley Atwell (Peggy Carter). Which is about as good a time/place as any to pop the question. Just in case that photo…

The Relentless Champions Of Classic Fallout

For years, No Mutants Allowed, a news site and message board, hung in a happy obscurity. It’s the largest Fallout fansite on the internet and was founded back in the late ‘90s under the shadow of the first two games in the franchise. It’s difficult to remember now, but the late 90s’ Fallout 1 and…

The Ten Commandments Of Video Game Menus

A good video game menu is like a good roadie: It stays out of the way. But still, far too many menus waste far too much of our time. People want to play games, not mess around in menus! We’ve gone up to the top of Video Game Mountain in search of answers, and have…

The New Ark: Survival Evolved Update Messed Up Some Players’ Bases

Behold, The Terrible Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5

When the first video we see of a game on launch day is a two minute montage of glitches captured within the first hour of gameplay, something’s not right. Perhaps “somethings” is the better term to use there. The problems with the first new entry in the once-premiere skateboarding franchise in years began back in…

The Medic Has A Ridiculous Drop-Ship Power In Heroes Of The Storm

Lt. Morales, a character inspired by the famously sultry StarCraft Terran unit The Medic, is the next up for release in Blizzard’s MOBA Heroes of the Storm. She looks like a strong and adept healing-friendly support. But what I’m really excited about is her ult. “Ult” is MOBA-speak for “super powerful game-changing ability.” They’re the…

Counter-Strike Player Wins Match By Throwing Grenade At Rifle

That’s some serious teamwork. In the video below, Galore S00K and a friend manage a trick shot so absurd that I (and a handful of others, evidently) can’t help but wonder if it was a fix. Observe: Yep. He tosses a grenade, drops his AWP just so, and lets gravity (or the defiance thereof) do…

Grant Morrison’s one of the most revered, acclaimed comics writers alive. He’s done defining runs on many of the biggest superhero franchises around like Superman, Batman and X-Men.
