DK. Donkey Kong is here.

here we can see that Florida is actually a poorly written artificial data matrix, as evidenced by this poorly rendered police vehicle clipping through the environment due to similation processor loads being too high during the rainy season.

N++ has a release date! And it’s July 28th!

Can you tell we’re excited?! It’s been a very long journey, and we’re so glad we made it to the finish line. Well, the first one, anyway – we have a lot of updates planned :)

To announce the release date, we once again worked with the wonderful Richard E. Flanagan, who created the mographs you see above in gif form, and can see animated fully here:

The upbeat, melodic music is by our own Raigan Burns. The tempo and tone are so perfect for this video – such a great, enthusiastic vibe.

We also created a new poster over at Society6, which you can see in the last image – it’s made from stills of Richard’s mograph. Colourful and celebratory!

We hope you’re as excited as we are :)

Splatoon review: Nintendo’s ink-spraying shooter is refreshing and different

I’m impressed with what a great game Splatoon is. Hopefully Nintendo’s planned August update fixes the games online issues (mainly making it easier to join games with friends. 

Read my review here.

The brave little toaster is one of my favourite movies and I still haven’t seen the Mars one. I need to get one that.

LG G4 review: Almost the same phone with a new number attached to it

This week for the Financial Post I reviewed the LG G4, LG’s latest flagship phone. It’s likely no the phone for you, unless you were crazy about the G3, and even then, it’s such an incremental upgrade that it probably isn’t worth your time.

My full review.

In this live stream I play Splatoon and drop my initial opinions on the game ahead of my Post Arcade review. Shoot me at tweet @Patrick_ORourke if you have any questions about the game.

My girlfriend and I decided to give TowerFall DarkWorld’s expansion a try. After some bickering, we still managed to get through the game’s first multi-tiered level lol. 

[patrickorourke]

I as lucky enough to get my hands on an early copy of Splatoon, the next big Wii U exclusive title. This is a quick live stream I put together where I discuss some of my initial impressions about the game.

Apple Watch review: A new smartwatch king has finally arrived — but even it has flaws

I’m honest surprised by how much I like the Apple Watch. It’s the best smartwatch review I’ve ever used, but unfortunately it still suffers from a number of frustrating issues. Here’s my comprehensive review (with video).
