| Getting down with the Wagner in PlanetSide 2 Posted: 26 May 2012 02:00 PM PDT
The story will be penned by Marvel's Blade creator Marv Wolfman, who has already worked with SOE on DC Universe Online. For those who are interested, you can sign up for the beta right now at the official website, and get ready to make some pretty explosions just like in the vid above. |
| Official Kirby doodles from way back in the day Posted: 26 May 2012 12:00 PM PDT Back in 1993, a strategy guide for the recently released Kirby's Adventure appeared in Japan. Inside, three of the big men responsible for the new game decided to sketch the little pink puffball. There's contributions by Masahiro Sakurai, the father of the Kirby series; Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo's whiz kid; and Satoru Iwata, back when he was the president of HAL Laboratory. It's adorable to see the masters take a crack at doodling such a loveable character. It's also worthy to note that Iwata's doodle looks like sh*t. That makes me laugh for some reason. 1993 Miyamoto, Iwata and Sakurai Draw Kirby [Andriasang] |
| Sup Holmes: Games, Comics, and Curation Spooky Squid Posted: 26 May 2012 10:00 AM PDT
[Destructoid's Director of Communications Hamza Aziz asked Jonathan Holmes to make a show called 'Sup, Holmes?' so that Destructoid could later sell a t-shirt that says 'Sup, Holmes?' on it. This is that show. Download the audio-only podcast version, subscribe to the podcast feed and find more episodes here.] This week on Sup Holmes? we have Miguel Sternberg from Spooky Squid games, developer of the upcoming games They Bleed Pixels and Guerrilla Gardening: Seeds of Revolution, and the curuator of the recent Comics Vs. Games event (featuring the work of Dtoid alumni Ashley Davis and Linzb0t, as well as many other fantastic artists). We'll be talking to Miguel about all that and more. Personally, I want to know how he feels about Bastion ripping off his idea for context based, in-game narration. I bet he'll be all humble about it, because he is a humble dude. Tune into the live stream starting on Sunday, May 27th at 1pm PST/4pm EST and ask us some stuff!

| The DSi comes to life, gets rubbed, and fights the R4 Posted: 26 May 2012 09:00 AM PDT
This video is pretty ancient, and has since been followed up by many more topical entries in the ongoing life of the DS console. Still, I had to post this one first, because it's the best. It's tough to say anything else without ruining some of the fun. In fact, I'm worried I've already said to much. So please enjoy this thing! |
| Make some ch-ch-changes in Witcher 2: Enhanced Edition Posted: 26 May 2012 08:30 AM PDT
Though The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition came out over a month ago, full of tweaks and additional content, the guys at Warner Bros. and CD Projekt are still trying to keep the PR train going. The video shows a small snippet of the possible differences that can occur whenever you make a key decision, some overtly visible, others very subtle. On the one hand, seeing all these possibilities is a sight to behold and is something in my mind CD Projekt should be commended for by providing us with such rich replayability value and illustrating their passion towards their games. On the other hand, it's frustrating to know that I'll probably never see most of these endings myself as I simply don't have the time. And watching them all on youtube doesn't count folks. What do y'all think? You a fan of such intricacies? Or are these just cosmetic touches that you don't care about? |
| Videogame-inspired gas masks? Now I've seen everything! Posted: 26 May 2012 03:00 AM PDT Brian Cargile is another talented young artist with an extreeeeemely specific area of expertise. As you can see, he specializes in masks: gas masks, goggles, full face masks, you name it. As a one-man costume design house called TwoHornsUnited, he sells these bizarre creations for upwards of $280 a pop. That may sound like a hefty chunk of change, but hey, the goods are moving, so he must be doing something right! Though the bulk of his masks -- which you can check out on his deviantART and Facebook pages -- are original designs, Brian likes to draw inspiration from videogames now and then. Below, you will find his Pokeball and Hylian masks, as well as the big poppa, the Portal Gun mask. The latter is certainly among the more inventive interpretations of the iconic weapon. If you happen to be attending METROCON in Tampa this June, Brian will be selling the Zelda and Portal masks there. In the meanwhile, gaze upon the gallery in wonder!

| I can't quite picture Sephiroth as a pencil pusher Posted: 26 May 2012 01:00 AM PDT
I'm going to go out limb and say that, following the end of the song, Sephiroth murdered the entire building then pissed on the ashes. "One Winged Office" is the latest tune from Random Encounters, and it proposes the idea that the members of SOLDIER were nothing more than genetically enhanced cubicle monkeys for Shinra's corporate offices. Technically, Sephiroth is working out of a storage closet rather than a cubical. I can relate -- at my last office job, I literally worked in the room where all the surplus furniture and equipment was stored. They also kept downgrading my computer to crappier and crappier models. Such a welcoming environment, to be sure. One Winged Office: A Sephiroth Song [YouTube] |
| The Daily Hotness: RU-FI-OOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Posted: 25 May 2012 04:59 PM PDT
Before we get this party underway, lemme clear up something from last week: as it turns out, Jackie Chan is NOT retiring from action films. Crisis averted? Well, all my other fears still stand, so not entirely. But never mind that, because there's a Rufio film in development! You remember, Rufio? Dante "motherf*ckin' Prince Zuko" Basco? Yeah, I'm on board with anything based around the greatest character from Hook... and perhaps all of film history. Today, Holly Green chats with chiptune group Men of Mega in the first entry of our new Dtoid Spotlight interview series, Jim Sterling asks YOU what's the deal with Diablo III's Auction House, Alasdair Duncan reviews The Dream Machine, the Wii U is / is not more powerful than a plate of crackers, and Zone of the Enders 3 is really real, hallelujah!
