While we were not supposed to be at New York Comic Con this year, my friend Rich from Aggressive Comix accepted to cover the con and all its fantastic cosplay for us once again! Be sure to check out all our photos in the picture gallery below, and don’t forget to come back tomorrow for […]
Love the dramatic glasses adjustment! Pretty good for one person might often look pretty when compared to another, super “qualified” person. All things are relative. I’ve never tried playing Guitar Hero, though, and neither Rock Band. I’m pretty sure I would totally suck at it. I prefer adventure games and RPGs anyways, so no big […]
This is the first time I’ve ever seen Johan Vinet’s awesome artwork, and I really like what the artist is doing. His Tumblr blog is packed with awesome animated 16-bit-style artwork, each piece as brilliant as the “Stranger Things” animation you see pictured above. I strongly suggest that you check out more of his work […]

Youtuber “Jairus of All” inspired himself from Fallout 4 to create a real life version of the game’s power fist, a pneumatic-powered punching device that can even crush concrete blocks! Watch as he punches through coconuts, concrete blocks, soda cans and watermelons. Finally the long awaited Powerfist V1.0 !!!! The first, real life, portable, functioning, […]
I am a huge Final Fantasy fan and anytime a new Final Fantasy game drops, the thing I am oft most excited about is seeing the summons (or whatever they choose to call them this time around) in action, as well as witnessing some of the more powerful spells being casted for the first time. […]
