PAX East 2012: Team Unicorn Wields Some Magic!

Since our interview with them last year the ever-busy unicorns have been working on a number of projects individually, and are currently working on something incredibly cool that I promised not to talk about… yet. As much as I’d love to share the intel, Team Unicorn is a group you don’t want to agitate. After all, what do you think that horn is for?

PAX East 2012: Day One Teaser!

PAX East 2012 is off to a great, and hectic, start. The NA crew started off the day by getting our grubby mitts on Borderlands 2, Orcs Must Die 2, and more titles than my brain can currently recall. I won’t lie, I was so exausted leaving the convention center this evening that I got lost and wandered in circles for a good half an hour.

PAX East is a three-day game festival for tabletop, videogame, and PC gamers.

Would You Actually Watch This Mass Effect Cartoon Series? (video)

Would You Actually Watch this Mass Effect Cartoon Series? (video)

Like many of you I grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons. As a matter of fact, I called Saturday “cartoon day” until I was about seven years old. Back in the golden era of Saturday morning animated entertainment we had incredible (yet bizzaro) shows like Transformers, Thundercats, and the U.S.A. Cartoon Express. While programming like Star Wars: The Clone Wars still provides kids with a bit of “magic”, I fear that the days of utterly ridiculous 80s-style cartoons are long gone… Enjoy this April fools joke from the fine folks at IGN. For the record… I would watch the poop out of this show.
