    Star Wars Actor Kenny Baker Passes Away at 81

    It was only a few weeks ago I saw him here in London at Star Wars Celebration Europe. RIP, we'll remember you forever.

    Star Wars Episode VII Toys Revealed in Catalog

    As an actual Star Wars branded product, Bladebuilders makes me want to throw up. I suppose Disney's mindset has been "fuck the lore!" from the beginning anyway.

    Does Your First Anime Still Hold Up?

    Was probably Cardcaptors for me. The Japanese version Cardcaptor Sakura definitely holds up, not the US version they butchered the story of the show, I was just too young to know any different back then.

    Quality Fanservice Anime

    My pick is the Monogatari series, specifically Bakemonogatari. Wordy as hell, but intelligent and witty too, plus the few action scenes you see look amazing. As for the fan-service it provides, it for the most part compliments the story, rather than acting as a detriment to it.

    Dishonored Definitive Edition Offered Half Price To Return Customers

    What about us PC customers? Is the definitive edition just updating the resolution and textures to be on par with PC? It would be a shame if we are missing out on some new features, especially as the franchise takes its inspiration from Thief, a PC-centric game.

    Streamer Breaks Record for Largest Minecraft Pixel Art

    Is that Starcraft/Diablo one too, or just a normal image? The Gosick and Duke Nukem images are especially impressive will the fully done backgrounds. Well done!

    GOG Adds Six Star Wars Games, More Coming Thursday

    X-Wing Alliance is the only game I've ever built a PC specifically to play, as it had trouble running on Windows 7. For any newcomers to it, I high recommend the total conversion mods from the X Wing Alliance upgrade team (just google XWAU). All ship models and textures massively upgraded...

    343 Apologizes as Halo: MCC Continues to Be Troubled

    As nice as it is to hear a proper apology from the head no less of 343, surely this now allows for a class action law suit against them, as it can be used as definitive evidence that the product was not what was promised. After all, the Aliens: Colonial Marines lawsuit was settled by Sega for...

    Durarara!! x2 Broadcast Begins January 2015

    I'm also of the opinion that Durarara was good, but not great. The issue was a hit or miss cast, so occasionally you're waiting for a scene to end so you can see the characters you're invested in. With Baccano pretty much all the characters were engaging, and the plot moved with more haste and...

    Star Citizen Hits $49 Million, Still Needs Crowdfunding Support

    The main downside is more funds will push back the final release date. I'm a backer since the kickstarter in 2012, and whilst I'm enjoying the Arena Commander module now most of the bugs have been removed, I'm also wishing I had backed Elite Dangerous back in 2012 too as that's on schedule to...

    No Man's Sky Confirmed for PC, Following Timed Exclusive Period on PS4

    Man I really hope this game isn't as bugged as X: Rebirth, and they take their time with testing. The colours on display look great, a good deviation from the realism that Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous are promoting.

    All-New TMNT Gets All-New Ninja Rap

    Was listening to R.E.M when I had the misfortune of stumbling upon this post. Now there is some hip-hop/rap I can appreciate, like this for example: But this...it really makes me feel sick listening to it. Like a lot of pop coming out these days.

    Forgotten Smallpox Vials Found In Lab Clear-Out: More Found Update

    Maybe this is just my imagination running wild, but I can just see the destroying of the vials as a ruse, and instead the smallpox will be re-purposed as a biological weapon.

    Soccer World Cup Teams Given Anime Girl Mascots

    So Germany gets Asuka, but England doesn't get Saber? Boo

    The Morality System in Games Has Outlived Its Usefulness

    I'm sure someone has said this already, but both The Witcher and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings are very good in actually making your choices matter, but at the same time they are never purely right and wrong like Mass Effect, and actually make you think about how the game might change based...
