AVCon, Adelaide’s premiere and long-running anime and video gaming convention, added it’s unique flavour to Adelaide’s CBD over 17-19 July 2015 and we were in attendance on the Sunday to check things out. For Inferno and I it was a little weird, having attended the first few AVCons when they were based at Adelaide Uni. […]
The Street Fighter V Beta which induced much excitement last week has apparently been canned for the moment. Reading up on USGamer, it sounds like Capcom are ending the first round of beta testing early as many people have been experiencing significant issues getting into the game at all (myself included), causing frustration to those […]
A portal in Japan opens, with a slew of Roman-inspired soldiers, dragons and all manner of monsters appear, slaughtering civilians left and right. On the outskirts of this we have Youji Itami, a JSDF officer and otaku, on his way to a doujinshi events. Interrupted by screams, dragons and fantasy monsters killing randomly, he jumps to, saving […]

Anime director Hideaki Anno and original mecha designer Ikuto Yamashita are working directly on the project and […]
After downloading the modest 1.4gb beta copy of Street Fighter V last night I was all ready to jump in to see where things are at. Unfortunately every time I try to jump in I get a connectivity error message – a little bit of research pointed back to the Capcom Unity blog and it […]
In the spirit of community and sharing, we are holding a weekly fanart feature for artists who want to show their work and meet more like minded people. For the first week I am getting the ball rolling with some of my own artwork, which mind you the most complete pieces are quite old and […]
Exciting news – with thanks to Inferno for the heads-up, following my application I’ve just received the all-clear to give the beta for Street Fighter V a whirl on the PS4! While I’m very much a Ken scrub, I enjoyed SF4 so much I went and bought it new at retail for every iteration (madness) […]
