Take A Look At This Spot On Cindy Cosplay From 'Final Fantasy XV'
Final Fantasy XV isn't even out yet and people are already showing off great cosplays left and right. Case in point is Byndo Gehk's fantastic rendition of Cindy Aurum, mechanic extraordinaire. She acts as the mechanic for the party in the game andit looks like she'll have a lot of great skills to bear since she's the granddaughter of another genius mechanic, Cid. Not the same Cid from every game, there's a bunch of different Cids as you know, but being named Cid in any Final Fantasy game is synonymous with "awesome mechanic." Anyway, you're not here for lore so here's a couple more shots of Byndo's cosplay.

Modder Remasters 'Shenmue: The Movie' and It's Pretty Amazing
Shenmue was a hell of a game. It had an immersive world and interesting story line tied with some pretty fun game play mechanics. It was one of a handful of games that shone on the Sega Dreamcast and the reason why I bought one in the first place. Because of the Dreamcast's ultimate demise, the second entry in the series was released on the Xbox back in 2002. To catch everyone up, it came with a DVD titled Shenmue: The Movie which featured cut scenes from the first game. The cut that they sent out with the game left out a lot of details and didn't set up the canon very well. Shenmue was huge and cramming all that story into a single DVD resulted in some important bits falling on the editing room floor. The end product was a pretty lackluster movie that didn't quite do justice to the original let alone catch people up properly on the goings on of the story.

This 'Overwatch' Cosplay Is Some Next Level Stuff
I don't know what it is about Russia, but that country has been churning out some pretty solid cosplayers. Maybe that's always been the case and I've only just started picking up on how great they are. This time, all eyes are on Jannet "Incosplay" Vinogradova and her absolutely spot on Widowmaker cosplay from Overwatch.

This Awesome Fan Art Turns Dragon Age Into A Gritty Noire
You know what's awesome? Great fan art. You know what's even more awesome? Awesome genre crossover fan art. That's what Tumblr user therealmcgee, who goes by Mer, has brought to the table with the world of Dragon Age re-imagined as a Noire film. The art is oozes cool and is absolutely gorgeous. If I had anything more intelligent to say about Mer's work I would. Instead, let's just take some time to appreciate these amazing pieces of art starting with Cullen looking like he just had a particularly trying day.

Expanding The Languages of Thedas: An Interview With The Creator of the Thedas Language Project
Back in February I wrote about The Thedas Language Project, an enormous undertaking by a Dragon Age fan and language creator to expand on the languages of Thedas. The aim of the project was to help in deepening our immersion within the world of Dragon Age through its many languages.

Choose Your Path: Skyrim Adventures and Screenshot Obsessions
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim came out on way back when in November 11, 2011. That was a little over four years ago and that makes the phrase "time flies" really hit home. The moment it came out, I knew the game was going to be something special. At the very least I knew it was going to be special to me. It was my first Bethesda game and you always remember your first, right?

You'll Be Amazed By What This Gamer Did With The Slog In 'Fallout 4'
I like to think that I can build a pretty mean looking settlement. However, every time I start thinking that I'm getting competent at it, the Internet goes ahead and shows me what else is possible and then it's back to the drawing board. Case in point, Tumblr user DionysusDreams has taken The Slog, a possible settlement in Fallout 4, and turned it into a thriving community with pretty sturdy looking defenses. When I saw the photos I had to reach out to her and find out what went into making this settlement into a defensible and cozy looking spot.

The Thedas Language Project: The Most Epic Fan Project Ever Undertaken
The world of Dragon Age is an absolutely fascinating one that's captured the imaginations of millions of gamers from all across the globe. The success of Dragon Age: Inquisition is a testament to that. Great stories set in a lively, awesome world are just some of the parts that make it a favorite for many fans of the RPG genre. The world itself has all these fun elements and different cultures that collide with each other that really gets the imagination of fans going. One particular fan has taken his imagination one step further by expanding on the language of the various peoples of Thedas. That's right, a single, amazing (and maybe a little insane) fan has taken it upon himself to take the bits and pieces of the languages shown in the games and expand them into actual semi-working languages. This entire endeavor is called The Thedas Language Project and it's as awesome as it is daunting.

Fallout 4: Keeping Your Castle Game Strong
Late last year I wrote about my undying love for Spectacle Island and the amount of space and freedom it gave you when it came to building a settlement you can be proud of. I'm still tinkering with how I want it to look but for now I've turned my attention to The Castle, the one place I neglected the most.

Fallout 4: My Obsession With Spectacle Island
When I found out that you could build settlements in Fallout 4, I knew that my days were numbered. I loved the idea and I took to it like water. A lot of my hours of gameplay were dedicated to scouring for resources, building bigger and better settlements, and learning from the last one so that the next settlement would be that much more fun to build and see grow. Out of all of them, my favorite has been the entirely isolated and extremely large playground that is Spectacle Island. But how do you even get there? Well, the fact of the matter is that it's kind of a bitch.
