When you boot up Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, it asks you for your birthday. Though most gamers had no idea why, when you play on your actual birthday, the characters in game recognize it and wish you happy birthday (as well as a few other surpises I wont ruin). Well played, Hideo. […]
Artist Thomas Dambo finds old pieces of woord that aren’t being used and reclaims them to make the amazing sculptures you are about to see.

PixelStorm Films with Joe Murayama put together this dazzling short of what it would be like for a young man to walk through the evolution of gaming over the years. From Mario to Minecraft, it’s all here, and makes me wish I was the dude walking through it. [H/T to LaughingSquid]
