If your big nerd ass needs a geeky place to plop itself, look no further than the Mega Man E-Tank cushion. Actually, this thing’s just under 12″, so maybe it’d be more appropriate as a nerdy elbow rest. E-Capcom is currently taking pre-orders for this sexy piece of gaming decor for only ¥2,625 ($29.46) and it’ll be shipped on March 31. The bad news is, this is only available in Japan. Fffffuuuuuuuuuuu..
Here’s hoping they release these outside of Japan. My sofa is naked without it.
Toy company NECA has produced a replica of the Big Daddy plushies that the Little Sisters carry around in BioShock 2. The 7″ plush figures, first spotted over on Tenacious Toys, are currently being shipped to retailers and will run for $24.99.
Logan Zawacki (the same dude who wrote The Excavation of Mushroom Island) sent in pics of these 4 skateboard decks that he designed for the upcoming I’M BOARD skateboard art exhibit in Jacksonville, FL being held this weekend. The games represented are Mega Man, Super Mario Bros., Street Fighter II, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
It looks like he took models from the Tony Hawk games and rendered them with the appropriate attire to fit their themes. Awesome work, indeed.
Check the gallery below to get up close and personal with the freshness of the details.
I think the message behind this piece is that we’re all invaders. Poignant, creative, and a great use of the street as a canvas. A little bit of overspray, but it’s all part of the charm, I think. A++
I already have a T.E. stick for the PS3, but I’ve been wanting one for the 360 as well so I can play online against my anti Sony friends. Might have to pick this up before the deal goes away.
While checking my email, I came across a message titled Natural Sword Enhancement. I figured it was just some spam that slipped through my spam filter, but then I noticed it was from Atlus Games. Turns out, it’s just the latest promo vid for 3D Dot Game Heroes.
Aksys Games just posted these awesomely adorable custom plushies of Noel Vermillion from BlazBlue and Sol Badguy from Guilty Gear by DeviantArt user sengster. These photographs are proof that when awesome 2D fighting games have sex with plush, epic win is born.
There’s a really awesome piece up on Kotaku written by Leigh Alexander about an indie dating sim/erotic visual novel called Katawa Shoujo. Unlike most ero novels, this game looks like it’s polished to the point where it could possibly rival some of the better ero novels from Japan. Oh, and the girls in this one all suffer from some sort of handicap.
Okay, you’re probably thinking this is cheesy, but I thought the same thing. Just go read the full article. It talks about how this game was spawned from a thread on 4chan.org and it compares the insensitive nature of 4chan to the deep sensitivity found in this game’s story and the author even got statements from a handicapped gamer. It’s a pretty awesome piece of gaming journalism and well worth the read.
Action RPG Legends of Exidia is the latest DSiWare title from Gameloft and while watching the trailer, you’ll notice that this game looks like it plays a lot like the Zelda games — until you see the crazy dragon-riding boss battle with what looks like Quick Time Events. For 800 Nintendo points, this one looks worth the download.
From the press release:
An army of demons called Morgost has invaded Exidia, defeating Princess Sofia and capturing the Orb of Spell. The Morgost’s dark intentions include the resurrection of the almighty Daraka. Listen only to your courage and help Sofia drive back this threat. As a fearless warrior, you’ll fight the most evil of creatures. With every quest, you’ll get closer to discovering the source of the plague.
