[Wormlight] All the Video Games Merch That Money Can Buy

I enjoy writing about nerd culture in general, which includes gaming as well as writing about all kinds of sexy, collectible plastic goodness. I figured it was about time I combined these two things and shed some light on the kind of merch available for gamer fans. There’s a surprising amount of stuff out there, especially if you’re willing to import them from Japan. No, don’t look at me like that.. it’s a lot easier than it sounds. Promise! Check out my [...]

[News] Pokemon Kanto Region In Minecraft

Tonight’s TSFT Podcast featured guest speaker Steve Poirier for a talk about his special Minecraft project. He’s taken it upon himself to recreate the entire Kanto region of Pokemon. And so far, it’s looking AWESOME. The scaling alone would be enough to make me quit, yet he’s doing it perfectly to scale by unit. Without mods, and by himself. He picked up Minecraft only recently and already had Pallet Town and Route 1 down in four hours. Can’t wait to see [...]

Take a look at this trailer for the new pair of Pokémon games. Pretty fantastic, no? As you can see, it’s intense. I could talk about what this trailer might imply for the game (reappearance of many characters, dramatic showdowns, incredible battle venues, boats, and… are those ninjas?), but instead, I’ll ask a question: Why is this not the Pokémon anime? The trailer, in just under five minutes, blew most of the actual Pokémon series out of the water. Now [...]
