    Watch: Jonny Look’s Comedy Short Tries to Communicate with Plants

    Plants Short Film

    “My department was tasked with coaxing them into conversation with humankind. Our primary method is: torture.” If plants are alive, can we communicate with them? That’s the question at the core of this funky, funny short film. The official title of the short is Assholes, which might be a good title, but it’s not an easy one to mention without someone raising an eye-brow at it. From up-and-coming filmmaker Jonny Look, the mockumentary short stars Linas Phillips as Dr. Albert, a scientist who is testing out various methods of torture in hopes of getting houseplants to respond and communicate with humans. The small cast also includes Kyle Mizuno, Will Hines, Ashleigh Hairston, and Sam Buchanan. As totally wacky as this entire short is, it’s a hilariously well-made film that explores some household humor that hasn’t been fully mined yet. Plants do have consciousness, of course! Perhaps we can try to treat them better after all of this? ›››

  • Random: We’d Read This Incredible Retro The Last of Us Comic

    Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid also represented.

    Classic comic books look incredible even by modern standards, particularly the likes of Tales from Crypt. These inspired designs by Rockstar North illustrator Mark Scicluna have really captured our imagination, then. We love The Last of Us cover most, but his adaptations of Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid, and Crash Bandicoot are equally good.

  • Next Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC Character Comes From Arms

    Next Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC Character Comes From Arms

    Back in January, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai announced a second Fighters Pass, which will bring six more downloadable fighters to the biggest crossover battlefield in gaming. While we still don’t know the details of who the first character of Fighters Pass Vol. 2 will be, we do know that the character will hail from Arms, the 2017 fighting game from Nintendo.

    Arms features 15 characters, each of which has a distinct style and arsenal of moves. While it would make sense for Spring Man or Ribbon Girl to appear in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate thanks to their mascot statuses for the game, Twintelle garnered quite the fan base when the title launched. Also working against the idea of Spring Man as a playable character is the fact that he’s currently an Assist Trophy. 

    Whichever character the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate development team chose from the Arms roster will be both announced and released in June. For more on Arms, check out our review.

  • Fitness Fanatics Are Now Paying Ridiculous Prices Online For Ring Fit Adventure

    When extreme price gouging pays off.

    There’s been on-going demand for Nintendo’s exercise game Ring Fit Adventure since it was released last October, and in recent months it’s become even harder to find due to the coronavirus outbreak – with shortages and supply issues reported worldwide.

    Now, in North America, there seems to be some extreme price gouging happening on eBay, following the arrival of the game’s musical update earlier this week. It’s bumped prices up to triple the amount of the MSRP, making it more expensive than a Switch Lite. Buyers don’t appear to be phased by the asking price – with many of these extra-expensive copies selling out.

  • Netflix Confirms Fourth Season Of The Castlevania Animated Series

    “Season four is coming”.

    Good news Castlevania fans, Netflix’s successful animated series of the same name will be receiving a fourth season. This announcement, which included a brief clip from the third season, was made on Netflix’s official NX Twitter account. Here it is:

    At the moment, no other details about the fourth season have been revealed. The third season was officially announced in November 2018 and has only just arrived earlier this month. If season four is the same size and scale as the existing ones, we likely won’t see the next chapter until some time next year.

  • Mini Review: Moons of Madness – A Lovecraftian Snooze Fest

    Inter-smellar.

    Secret World Legends developer Funcom dives into the ready-made well of creativity of H.P Lovecraft in Moons of Madness, a single-player cosmic horror title using modern generic tropes. Unsurprisingly, it takes similar thematic and aesthetic cues to last year’s Conarium, though in its mission to become the cosmos’ answer to Outlast, it never settles on what exactly it is; a scare-a-minute thriller or a pondering, existential nightmare? What transpires is an unsatisfactory blend of the two, loosely glued together by a poorly paced narrative.

    It’s disappointing, as the premise is immediately intriguing. You play as Shane, a technician on a Mars research station, tasked with navigating its cramped halls which have been infested by otherworldly eldritch flora. As your comrades lose their minds, a mythological book and Shane’s forgotten past may be key to unravelling the enigmatic happenings. Regrettably, after a compelling prologue, the game slows to a maddening halt for the next hour or so and never recovers. Through some misguided attempt at realism, gameplay consists of lethargic space-chores that neither excite nor incite tension. They’re just filler.
