I don't doubt that people play the game, but the popularity of the game is by far more relevant to the surge in popularity of lets plays.
The vast majority of the audience for that game will have found it through lets plays, or through the proliferation of information gained form them.
Especially in the particularly…

So is turning the "man" into "mun" an american(/canadian?) thing?
I've never heard anybody english say "slendermun", always "Slender-Man", but on numerous occasions I've heard Americans kind of affix the words into more of a "slendrmn" sound.

If it is a common thing, does the same thing happen with characters like…

Let's Plays.
I know a ridiculous amount of kids that watch let's plays constantly.
Pewdiepie especially.
And what made Slender famous if not for the thousands of lets play videos people made of it?

That's true, but a good 90% of slender fans only really know of the character from some of the media created featuring him.
Marble Hornets, slender... there are countless pieces of slenderman ficiton about and everybody has their own pieces they follow and consider canonical.

Wow, I had absolutely no idea the guy behind Gravity Rush was also responsible for Siren!
I would really like to see him take a return to horror.
Something about Journey but scary seems very appealing to me.

So did he just share a video of jumping over a box and nothing else?


Also, two small things I notice.
I would really, really hate having skype being so intrusive if i was trying to watch tv or a film or anything like that.
Does anybody really want a big chunk of the screen with Skype on it like that?

Also something seems…

It does look promising, I hope that the camerawork in that cinematic part of the video isn't something we should expect to see in the final game, it was pretty awful.

I like the way pieces of the robots break away as they take damage, it would be cool to see them lose limbs but continue to fight similar to the robots…

You have to consider that a lot of parent's won't want to read specific detail about what is in a game.
Not only that, but a lot of parents don't realise the distinction between specific kinds of content.

Most games have violent content, but there is a world of difference between the violence you find in a more…

Slightly off-topic, but I always find it funny how many artists in comics try and find a mid between loose and clingy clothes.
With this costume they seem to be elevating much of it by making the material gradient to a more transparent colour, which seems like quite a clever workaround.

Always bugs me when they show a…

This does make me wonder, were the people at Ubisoft being overly paranoid or was he using the same very gravely voice?

I can't really see the character of Jason working with that voice at all, though saying that if this was still early in development the character could have changed a lot in that time.

Lots of people say that xenomorphs are going stale, but I really don't think that's the case.
The xenomorph is a wonderful creation, it's more imaginative and entertaining than most other tropes we see about.
There are still great zombie games being made and there are countless more games with zombies than there are…

I just got a 2ds for my birthday, instantly ordered Pokemon and Animal Crossing on next day delivery.
Animal Crossing won't arrive til Friday, but Pokemon will arrive tomorrow!

I am very excite.

I really like drawing dinosaurs, and during University the main word my drawing studies tutor would use to describe my work was "odd", which I was in equal part elated and offended by.

You know, I can't help but wonder if this obsession with relating everything based in the universe of Aliens to the specific events of the films is doing nothing but harming everything new people make.

Almost everything, games, comics, spinoffs of all kinds, have to relate back to the films somehow.
Hicks is back and is…

Jason Voorhees needs to get him one of those.
No more pesky teenagers poking holes in his face!

I can understand people not knowing certain phrases.
It's something I come across constantly, especially being english and consuming a lot of american media.

I do disagree pretty massively with the article though.
I've played through the first episode and thought it was spectacular!

I did play the game on Mac, so I can't…

Because the devs are selling this as a completed game, when it very clearly isn't.
They are even contradicting themselves, saying they consider this a finished product whilst also saying they ran out of money and could only develop half of the planned game.

A lot of games have to cut content because of time or monetary…

People always use games with highly realistic super detailed graphics or films with spectacular high budget special effects to show off an improvement in technology.

It always happens when a new console generation is coming out, or a TV with much better technology comes along like the jump from SD to HD.

But I never…

I was really hoping to get work done today, but I've just sat and watched that entire video and now I crave more.

Yeah, celebrities are real people too.

Not all of them have a troupe of muscular shadowy men trailing them 24/7.
