StarCraft II Mod Swaps Unit Abilities, Makes Everything Confusing
"RaceSwap" is an awesome, yet confusing mod where all three factions of StarCraft II get retextured to look and act like a different faction.
Best to start them early. Redditor Pypok and his wife needed a theme for their son's nursery, and Pypok suggested space (by way of Kerbal Space Program). Turned out rather well, I'd say—perfect for a future space explorer. There are some in-progress photos in the embedded Imgur album below.

Often when you see an anime, you might think the original manga was better. But do you ever feel the reverse is true? That the anime is more interesting than the source material? A recent Japanese poll asked just that.

Yakuza 0 rewards you for beating the crap out of street thugs and gangsters in the form of gobs of cash. Gobs and gobs of cash.

They already had a live-action movie and a TV show, so I guess a stage adaptation was only a matter of time.
Today, Square Enix announced that Final Fantasy XI service for the PS2 and Xbox 360 will end in March 2016. However, it will continue for the PC version.

With the amount of money smartphone games make, this shouldn't be that surprising. But Square Enix is bringing a version of Final Fantasy XI to smartphones. It's called Final Fantasy XI Mobile. There's also a new FFXI spin-off title called Final Fantasy Grandmasters.

Bad Men Destroy 12 Retro Consoles, Film It
WIRED's Battle Damage thought it would be fun to take 12 old consoles (for YouTube purposes, the PS3 is now "old") and smash them all up to see which was the most physically durable. My money's on the GameCube, because it didn't have that handle for nothing.

OK, so every time Link puts on a mask in Majora's Mask, he makes a kinda screaming sound. If you ever wondered why—maybe he's just really excited!—well, a Nintendo employee has an answer.
Screw CGI, This War Movie Used 15,000 Real Soldiers
Waterloo, released in 1970, is a war movie that had some pretty big stars, and also won a few awards. Yet in the decades since, it's been all but forgotten. Which is a tragedy, since its ridiculously epic production is one of the most amazing stories in cinema history.

The Neuroscience of Why Virtual Reality Still Sucks
The faceputer ads say virtual reality is coming and it's gonna work this time. But here's some real talk: There are still many ways virtual reality cannot fool the human brain. And it has little to do with the tech itself. Instead, it's about neuroscience and our brain's perceptual limits.
