Over the years, Nintendo fans have retrofitted all the company’s handhelds aside from the Game Boy Color with backlit displays. Wirth used a backlight setup provided by Ben “BennVenn” Grimmett, a longtime Nintendo hardware tinkerer. The mod swaps out the Game Boy Color’s built-in screen for the backlit LCD of the upgraded Game Boy Advance SP, the AGS-101 model, which was released about two and a half years after the original GBA SP’s debut. Because the SP’s screen is larger and thicker than the

In the latest series against kt Rolster, SKTelecom T1 mid laner Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok used a skin in two of the matches. In a post game interview, he claimed that there is a client bug right now that locks you in a random skin. He said that he picked the base skin for all his champions, as usual, but he was given a random one in game. The only times he has used skins before were either by mistake or to rep his own SKT skin. Lee is known for not using skins.

When Riot first announced franchising for the NA LCS starting in 2018, there were two questions on everyone’s minds. The first concern was which teams would be involved, followed closely by whether or not localization, tying teams to specific cities, would be coming as well. After all, just look at how many of the current NA LCS teams have investors or owners that tie them to specific cities. Team like FlyQuest, Team Dignitas and Team Liquid have significant investments from the owners of the Mi

As the father of two brilliant young women under the age of 8, I’m constantly on the lookout for children’s shows with positive portrayals of women. It looks like I’m going to have to add Sonic Boom to the list. So thanks for that, at least, Sonic Boom writing team. But it was another one of Sonic Boom’s writers, Alan Denton, who went to Twitter to crow about it. #SonicBoom pic.twitter.com/lkWwaR6WgI — Alan Denton (@AlanTheWriter) July 30, 2017“The worst part about writing for kids,” Denton said

Was it Terry Crews like the community had been clamoring for? Here is the thing: we all wanted Terry Crews. Ironically, Ngaujah may be one of the most famous actors in the Overwatch cast. That being said, he is currently not the level of famous as Terry Crews. Part of the reason you love Overwatch — part of the reason I love Overwatch — is how alive the game feels.

I wasn’t a huge fan of Final Fantasy 12 when it first came out back in 2006. But one early part of the game has always stuck with me, and the new PlayStation 4 remaster — Final Fantasy 12: The Zodiac Age — has reminded me of just how great that part is. Teenage hero Vaan isn’t the most likable Final Fantasy protagonist. But before Final Fantasy 12 itself realizes just how boring Vaan is, there’s a short mission he must complete that births the game’s most iconic moment. It helps that the remaste

Marvel Animation has a new Spider-Man and, if you play games or grew up watching anime in the ‘90s, you’ll probably recognize the voice immediately. Now, Daymond will voice the new Peter Parker in Marvel’s Spider-Man. In the new series, Parker is a new student at Horizon High School, a special facility for gifted students, struggling to fit in with classmates and maintain his secret superhero lifestyle. Miles Morales, the current version of Spider-Man in Marvel’s Spider-Man series, will also be

Although the actor can’t talk about Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the next installment in the main Star Wars franchise, or Episode 9, he does have a few thoughts about the stand-alone anthology movies. When asked if he thought a young Luke Skywalker movie could ever work, in the same spirt as a young Han Solo movie, Hamill admitted the concept would be kind of boring. “He had a more colorful life prior to Star Wars than I did,” Hamill said about Han Solo movie. “[The Luke Skywalker movie] would be s

“It starts right as the first one finishes, so it just carries on,” Lasseter, Pixar’s chief creative officer, told IGN. We may have a further hint to the opening of The Incredibles 2, courtesy of a video game. The original Incredibles hit theaters in the autumn of 2004, and one year later, THQ published the Heavy Iron Studios-developed game The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer for GameCube, Mac, PlayStation 2, Windows PC and Xbox. Samuel L. Jackson, who voiced Frozone in The Incredibles, is r

Mark Hamill has been a part of the Star Wars universe since the very beginning and, while much has changed over the past 40 years, the one character Hamill wish got bigger play was Darth Maul. “Darth Maul was just the coolest looking,” Hamill said. According to the official Star Wars website, Darth Maul “survived his injuries by focusing on his hatred of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Jedi who cut him in half. So while Hamill might be disappointed that Darth Maul never got the three-movie treatment he dese

Disney showed off the first clip for one of its upcoming movies, which doesn’t currently have a name, that feels a little like Cars spin-off Planes. It was similar to Pixar’s Cars, but followed a group of planes. DisneyToon Studios is also the studio behind the untitled movie. The most notable difference between Planes and the untitled movie is how much more mature this new project seems. The untitled movie is due out on April 12, 2019.

The Wreck-It Ralph universe is about to get a whole lot cooler. Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2, the sequel to Disney’s 2012 animated movie, will introduce the lovable Ralph to the internet. In order for Ralph and his glitch friend Vanellope to get around the vast online space without getting lost — or worse — they have to rely on a new friend named Yesss. At one point, Ralph asks Yesss how things go viral and Yesss spends the next portion of the video explaining blogs, social media

The Incredibles 2 is going to be all about Holly Hunter’s Elastigirl. Director Brad Bird confirmed today during Disney’s D23 panel that the movie, slated to be released in June of next year, will center much of its action around Elastigirl. Even with the focus of the movie being on Elastigirl, Pixar started its portion of The Incredibles 2 panel with a look at Edna Mode and her influence on the fashion industry. It wasn’t long after that video ended, that Bird took the stage and introduced a new

Disney and Pixar delivered an extensive look at their swiftly upcoming animated feature, Coco. Director Lee Unkrich, co-director Adrian Molina, and producer Darla K. Anderson took the stage at D23 to talk about the film. But Miguel’s family believes that music is a curse — and takes his guitar from him. The first clip the crew shared showed Miguel dashing through town to find another guitar, so he can play in the plaza with the other local musicians. Pixar has released multiple clips from Coco a

At today’s animation panel at Disney’s D23 Expo, chief creative officer John Lasseter showed off a lot of the company’s upcoming slate. Due this fall, Coco is the most imminent of Pixar’s current films, but Lasseter also took time to reveal the opposite as well: a new, as yet untitled project in early development with an interesting hook. There are no humans in the world, he explained, instead it is populated by the peoples of fantasy stories: trolls, elves, sprites, centaurs and more. Unicorns
