10 RPG Franchises That Need to be Resurrected (10 photo)

Since the next generation of console gaming is going to be in our hands by the end of the year, we here at Arcade Sushi would like to reflect on a few previous RPG series that we hold dear in hopes that we will see them resurrected, whether through an HD port, remake, or sequel. While some of these franchises seem to be extremely unlikely to happen due to publishing rights, combined with the splitting of many of the studios that made these games, there is still some hope that they might see the light of day. Watch out for burned down home villages within the first few hours of gameplay as we travel back in time to when RPGs were simple, effective, and unforgettable. Take a look at 10 RPG Franchises That Need to be Resurrected.

Wyclef Jean Isn’t Working With Amanda Bynes, But Waka Flocka Flame Is! (3 photo)

Wyclef Jean addressed those rumors that he’d be producing the upcoming mythical Amanda Bynes rap album, with his people saying this week that he has no plans to work with the actress. But that doesn’t mean she’s left high (so to speak) and dry — because Waka Flocka Flame has come to her rescue. Original reports indicated that people over at Chinga Chang records were in talks with Manders to cut the record, and that Wyclef was jumping on board. But the wheels began falling off when Wyclef’s people told TMZ he never even talked to her — and doesn’t plan to, either. (It’s possible Wyclef wasn’t interested in being called an “ugly black man.”) But never mind all that. Waka Flocka Flame, who befriended Amanda a while back by saying something nice about her Twitter (earning himself a place among the small handful of people she follows), runs Brick Squad Monopoly records, and he’s happy to work with her. In fact, he says a deal is pending and he’s already got songwriters working on her tracks. The songs may not be written yet, but Waka says the album already has a name — ‘Shots’ — and that it’ll be “crazy hot.” He and the, uh, “eccentric” former actress text every day, and he doesn’t think she’s nutty at all, saying, “She has it all together to me. She is cool as hell and ready for the rap world. I think she is going to kill the game.”

Birth Certificate from Kim and Kanye West Named Their Baby North West (2 photo)

Last night we came to find reports that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West had named their brand new baby North, and now we have the birth certificate to prove it. Sorry, baby North West, sounds like you’re legally bound to this name until you can emancipate yourself. As you can see from the legal document below, baby North does not have a middle name, dashing all our hopes of the couple giving their daughter a nod to Alfred Hitchcock with the full name North By North West.

10 Obscure Characters That Deserve To Join The Wii Fit Trainer (10 photo)

Nintendo finally let us have a look at the next Super Smash Bros. game at E3, unveiling new combatants such as Mega Man, the somewhat unnerving Animal Crossing Villager and the Wii Fit Trainer. Wait, what? For those who have never set foot on a Nintendo Balance Board, you never play as the Wii Fit Trainer in Wii Fit. You never fight against her either. She's just a faceless on-screen figure that guides you through yoga poses. The inclusion of the Wii Fit Trainer in the latest Smash Bros. really opens things up -- fighters no longer need to be playable characters, bad guys or, really, even characters at all! Any tutorial figure or random NPC can be a fighter now! So, here are a few other super obscure non-playable Nintendo characters that I think should also join the Smash Bros. line-up...

NPR Has Named Ryan Lochte The Perfect Bro (2 photo)

Finally, NPR has weighed on on what is and is not a Bro. NPR — yes, National Public Radio — has posted a scientific examination of what constitutes a bro, using a Venn diagram of ubiquitous celebrities to illustrate their findings. It features other sports guys (Tim Tebow represents the “jockish” bro in its purest form), but is centered around Ultimate DudeBro and With Leather favorite Ryan Lochte. According to people who have government funding and nothing better to do with their time, Lochte exemplifies the four defining aspects of bro-dom — jockish, dudely, stoner-ish and preppy. Yeah, I don’t know. Check it out for yourself:

Bill Maher Sort Of Defended Paula Deen On 'Real Time' (1 photo + 1 video)

Last night on HBO’s Real Time, host Bill Maher discussed the stick of sunburnt butter known as Paula Deen with his guests, and unlike the rest of the world, which is ready to place her on a spit with a (chocolate-covered) apple in her mouth, he kind of, sort of, maybe defended her less-than-dignified, i.e. incredibly racist, actions. Maher later asked whether “we should ban rap records,” which is a surprise only because he didn’t say “hippity hop albums.” What Maher seems to forget is that it’s not just Paula’s use of the word n*gger that’s gotten the Internet riled up; it’s her slavery-themed wedding and how unapologetic and clueless she seems about why people are mad. I agree with Maher’s general point that we shouldn’t always purge everyone who does something we don’t like, but it’s not an isolated instance with Deen; it’s a habit, and her firing was richly deserved.

Ashton Kutcher Still Looks Like Steve Jobs In The 'Jobs' Trailer (2 photo + 1 video)

The thing about Jobs is that it could be the most visually beautiful and fascinating film ever produced. It could have a screenplay written by Aaron Sorkin while sitting on William Shakespeare’s grave. It could be directed by Steven Spielberg while Francis Ford Coppola whispers advice in his ear. It could theoretically be the greatest movie ever made, so good that it convinces every filmmaker on Earth to just stop, because they will never be able to top perfection. And none of that will really matter because I can’t look at Ashton Kutcher without making fart noises with my mouth and shouting, “DUDE!” and “SWEEEEEEET!” at my dog. But here’s the new trailer for Jobs anyway, so you can decide if it looks good or is simply Michael Kelso with a beard.

8 Canceled Video Games We Would Have Loved To Play (9 photo)

When video games get announced and then cancelled it sucks. There is no two ways about it. Some video games make it all the way to shelves that are terrible and no one cares about. These video games had an audience and gamers would have loved to play them but, unfortunately they have all been canceled. This is just to bad for a lot of video game lovers.

Try This Trend: Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian and More Do Topknots (7 photo)

The ballerina topknot is perfect for summer since it’s an unfussy updo that keeps your neck cool and hair out your face. The pretty trend works with fancy attire (if you’re going to an outdoor, summer wedding) or casual clothes (for when you’re out running errands). And as you’ll see here, Taylor Swift was recently a dressy bunhead, while Kim Kardashian kept it more casual. The bun can be situated on the crown or piled high in the center of one’s head, so it’s a universal style that anyone can wear.

Johnny Depp Finally Talks About His Split from Vanessa Paradis (4 photo)

Johnny Depp split from long-time girlfriend (and the mother of his two children) Vanessa Paradis back in June of 2012, but in the year since, he’s been pretty mum about the whole thing — until now. “The last couple years have been a bit bumpy. At times, [it was] certainly unpleasant, but that’s the nature of breakups, I guess, especially when there are kiddies involved,” Depp told the new issue of Rolling Stone. “Relationships are very difficult. Especially in the racket that I’m in, because you’re constantly away or they’re away, and so it’s hard,” he revealed. “It wasn’t easy on her. It wasn’t easy on me. It wasn’t easy on the kids.” The good news is that the former couple’s children — 14-year-old Lily and 11-year-old Jack — have remained a top priority during the split. “You’ll always know each other, and you’re always gonna be in each other’s lives because of those kids. You might as well make the best of it,” Depp said, going on to explain that making sure his son and daughter were okay was of utmost concern to him. “They’ve been incredibly understanding. Incredibly strong throughout the whole ordeal.” You can read the whole interview in the new Rolling Stone when it hits newsstands (or your iPad) on July 4th.

Funded On Kickstarter: A Rapey 'How To Get Girls' Book (2 photo)

So I don’t know if you guys have heard, but dudes apparently like getting laid. I know, SHOCKING, right? Because of this, there’s naturally a huge market out there of dudes who have trouble getting laid for people who claim to know how to help such dudes get laid to exploit receive money from in exchange for helping to teach them how to get laid. See Neil Strauss and The Game, for example. Apparently looking to build off of Strauss’ success at tapping into the lonely bro market is a guy from Milford, Connecticut named Ken Hoinsky, a prolific Redditor who posts under the name “TofuTofu” – mostly on on Seddit, the site’s “seduction” forum. Hoinsky, who claims to be “good at teaching others to become good with women,” is using Kickstarter to raise funds to self-publish his p*ssy crushing Magnum Opus, Above The Game: A Guide to Getting Awesome with Women. Here’s his video pitch…

Who Has The Better Songs: Superman Or Batman? Part two! (1 photo + 5 video)

Not to be confused with the 1977 motion picture Abar, the First Black Superman, “Black Superman” is a single from Above the Law’s underrated Uncle Sam’s Curse, their final album on Ruthless Records before Eazy-E died. The funky sample comes from the Ohio Players’s “Funky Worm,” and as far as I can tell, it’s the only song that paints Superman as a sympathetic drug dealer from Compton. Though that might be what the next song’s about, too…

Who Has The Better Songs: Superman Or Batman? (1 photo + 5 video)

Anyone who says Superman is superior to Batman is fooling themselves. The Caped Crusader trumps the Man of Steel in comics, movies, outfits, nicknames, lady friends, TV shows, and dorky sidekicks — but what about music? There have been hundreds of songs written about both Batman and Superman, so in honor of Man of Steel, I thought we’d take a look at their musical history. Some criteria: I only chose songs that are NOT on official soundtracks (i.e. no “Bat Dance,” which is obviously the greatest thing ever), and they have to mention either “Batman” or “Superman” in the title. With a “Vicki Vale, Vick Va Vicki Vale” in your heart, here are 10 examples.

Seth MacFarlane To Voice Seymour On 'Futurama' (1 photo + 1 video)

*looks at banner image** begins crying In a brief cameo for the animated comedy’s final season, [Seth MacFarlane] will provide the voice of Fry’s tragically loyal canine, Seymour, who was featured in a 2002 episode. “This will be Seymour’s first and only spoken dialogue,” Futurama executive producer David X. Cohen tells EW. “Since Seth voices Family Guy‘s talking dog, Brian, we thought it would be funny to have him blatantly rip himself off for our benefit. As an added bonus, the only person he can sue is himself, so we’re off the hook.” In the episode, which airs Aug. 14, the Planet Express crew journeys into Fry’s dreams to pull off a mission in the year 1999. Sarah Silverman also pops up in her old role as Michelle, Fry’s girlfriend. **continues crying** isn’t sure whether he’s crying for Seymour, Seth MacFarlane voicing Seymour, or both

Miley Cyrus Twerks In 'We Can't Stop' Music Video (5 photo + 1 video)

It’s well known that MTV doesn’t play music videos anymore. But if they DID and I was 12 years old and TRL was still on and I was the kind of kid who watched TRL (there are a lot of hypotheticals when it comes to the “M” in MTV), I’d want to see Miley Cyrus’s “We Can’t Stop” every 10 minutes. It looks like the teen version of a David Lynch film, where pink goo oozing out of a person after they cut their fingers off isn’t the weirdest thing that happens.

'Animal Man' #21: The Comic You Should Be Reading This Week and Others (13 photo)

"Satirizing" "celebrity culture" is often a cheap and lazy grab for relevance. Throw a few weak jabs at a few easy targets (KIM! KANYE! AMANDA!), bemoan how shallow people are that they follow the every motion of dolts, and collect a paycheck. Social media has made this more intense, and made the "satire" even lazier. Leave it to Jeff Lemire and Steve Pugh to not only take the topic seriously, but make it fresh with, of all heroes, Animal Man. Buddy Baker is in the limelight because of a surprise nomination for Best Actor. He was in an indie movie about a struggling superhero called "Tights", and the nomination couldn't come at a worse possible time. Buddy's marriage is a wreck, his son is dead, he's lost all connection to the eminences behind his powers, and he's emotionally adrift. Lemire and Pugh have been consistently handing in superb work on this title, and this issue, kicking off a new arc, is no exception. And we see some new skills in action: Pugh turns out to be pretty slick with the layouts, and Lemire, in addition to being a great comics writer, turns out to be really good at satirizing self-centered Twitter douchebaggery. It's more than a gimmick, though. Lemire contrasts Buddy's struggles with the superficial and crappy way other people treat it: "Mullet" is a trending hashtag thanks to his son's death, for example, and as he tries to take his mind off his troubles by being a superhero again, we see the... variable reaction on social media. Animal Man #21 is a subtly thoughtful issue that often contrasts the frivolity, self-righteousness and nattering of even people who proclaim to be Buddy's fans with the hard realities of emotional pain, and for that, it's worth picking up. On the other hand, maybe you want to see a dead guy curbstomp some clown zombie midgets. Or perhaps the full release list, at the end of the slideshow.

'Feliz Navidad' Singer José Feliciano Suing Former Manager (1 photo + 1 video)

Blind guitarist José Feliciano has been making music for over 50 years, but he’s best known for two songs, one of which is the only Spanish elementary school students in Maine are taught: his cover of the Doors’ “Light My Fire” and the Christmas miracle known as “Feliz Navidad.” But Feliciano recently opened a lawsuit against his former manager Ray Sciacca, according to the Hollywood Reporter, who “took advantage of his visual impairment.”

'Spanking For Jesus' Illustrations Are Very Informative (9 photo + 1 video)

“Spanking for Jesus.” Say it again, slowly: “Spanking.” “For.” “Jesus.” Lest you think that’s the name of a new metal band that only plays songs about masturbating, it’s not nearly that awesome; in fact, “Spanking for Jesus” is a terrible, terrible thing, founded by some terrible, terrible people. According to the Daily Beast: "Chelsea and her husband Clint, who asked that I use only their first names, belong to a small subculture of religious couples who practice “Christian Domestic Discipline,” a lifestyle that calls for a wife to be completely submissive to her husband. Referred to as CDD by its followers, the practice often includes spanking and other types corporal punishments administered by husbands—and ostensibly ordained by God. While the private nature of the discipline makes it difficult to estimate the number of adherents, activity in several online forums suggests a figure in the low thousands. Devotees call CDD an alternative lifestyle and enthusiastically sing its praises; for critics, it’s nothing but domestic abuse by another name." I recommend reading the entire thing — it brings back mankind about, oh, 500 years — including the CDD’s “Beginners Packet,” which, as Jezebel notes, “is 50 pages long…[and] also includes photographs of ideal spanking positions, as well as of spanking implements, with a list of pros and cons for each.” Such as:

Here's The Latest Crazy 'Killer Is Dead' Trailer (1 photo + 1 video)

Killer Is Dead is the latest slice of insanity from Japanese game designer Suda 51, and well, he certainly isn’t straying far from his usual obsessions with this one. The game, which many are looking to as a spiritual successor to Killer7, the game Suda broke onto the world stage with, is another tale packed with assassins, cyborgs, spurting blood, ice queens and guys with ridiculous names like “Mondo Zappa”. Hit the jump for the latest Killer Is Dead trailer, which not only showcases the title’s nutty story, but plenty of actual gameplay (which looks pretty slick)…

The Five Best Superman Comics For New Readers (6 photo)

Superman is drawing huge crowds as Man of Steel takes off in theaters and people argue about whether or not they liked it. Some, meanwhile, just want to get into Superman comics and aren't sure where to start. Never fear: We've got the best Superman comics for you to read, to get a sense of the Big Blue Boy Scout. First we should preface this by saying that quite a few Superman comics are available on Comixology and on Kindle, but that you should really find your local comics shop and buy books there, not least because they'll point you towards other books you might like. But, if all else fails, we've included links where appropriate. Starting with...

The Definitive History Of Songs Of The Summer 1994-2012 (1 photo + 16 video)

"Get Lucky" is the song of the summer. It's already been proclaimed by us media elites, so deal with the fact that Daft Punk (really, Pharrell) will be the musical touchstone of the Summer of 2013. But what has happened to past songs of the summer? I decided to go back to 1994 (pre-1994 I mostly listened to Weird Al and my dad's Jackson Browne 8-tracks) to look at the cultural impact of the songs that really captured the essence of each summer, as well as take a look at where the artist who performed each is now and inject a personal memory, Klosterman-style. Of note, there's no mathematical formula for determining a song of the summer. Rather it's just the song that best captures the zeitgeist of the moment, as determined by yours truly. That means the song that was on MTV a lot (when I was a kid) or played in bars a lot (as an adult). Billboard ratings, friends' input, timing of the release (May-June is ideal) and my own beer-addled memory play a role but I'm the Queen of Hearts here -- the final decision is arbitrary and mine alone. However, feel free to register your displeasure in the comments.

A Candid Look At The Lives Of Exhausted Japanese Workers (3 photo + 1 video)

It’s no wonder that when faced with their nightmarish reality, Japanese commuters prefer the deep respite of sleep to block out the world and pressures around then. The truth is that for many in Tokyo & it’s surrounding suburbs, a 60 hour working week isn’t that uncommon or unexpected. Compare that to somewhere like Australia, where the average working week is 38.5 hours and you can see why people have cram their sleeping patterns into their daily commute. Why do people will compelled to work such long hours? It’s partly cultural, but also due to supply and demand, failure to go above and beyond will see someone happily step into your role doing more hours for less pay such is the competition in the workplace. The capital of Japan, Tokyo is by far the world’s most populous metropolitan area. Approximately 13 million people live within the city radius, that’s roughly 6,029 individuals per sq kilometre. With figures like that, there’s little room for a breath or respite and why workers feel compelled to work such long hours to continue to guarantee their financial security. Nicholas Barker has just release a film titled ‘Tokyo Dreams’ where he elegantly documents and examines the sleeping patterns of some of the hardest working individuals in the developed work.

Futuristic Orbs Hover Over A Post-Apocalyptic World (8 photo)

When it comes to self-autonomous orbs floating along the uninhabitable streets of a post-apocalyptic world, we’re not talking about the latest sci-fi movie from Hollywood, we’re describing the unique work of Masakatsu Sashie. He’s the gifted Japanese painter behind this series of spherical structures that hover over a barren landscape once formerly known as Earth. His vision of our future is in stark contrast to how the German’s back in 1900 perceived our future selves. He ingeniously comprises each orb using elements from modern-day society, our love of commerce, the architecture that surrounds us and the consumables we demand. A metaphor that if we focus purely on our desires of greed, wealth and convenience - we do so to the potential detriment of the environment and world in which we live. You can see more of Sashie’s futurist artworks via his website or join the ongoing discuss about his work here

Yubitsume: The Art Of Slicing Your Own Pinkie Finger Off  (5 photo)

Excel within the ranks of the Yakuza (Japan’s oldest major criminal network and akin to the Mafia) your every need, desire and want can be catered for. But if you fail and bring disgrace to the family, you will be subjected to the rather painful practice known as “Yubitsume”. It’s a tradition where gang members have to physically slice off their own little finger. Why the finger? There’s actually a twisted logic to the practice, the removal of the little finger actually makes it impossible to hold a strong grip on a samurai sword. As a result of this defect, you’re weakened in battle thereby forcing you to rely on protection from your boss / leader. It’s the ultimately tribute and punishment to authority. It’s not an unusual occurrence either, many Yakuza members now wear prosthetic pinkies (each costs around $2,500 – $3,000) regularly having them repainted and maintained to match the seasons and blend in with the rest of the arm. Whilst others might not notice the difference, both you and the Yakuza boss are acutely aware of your shortcomings and indeed who holds the real power. Here a a couple of examples we hope you enjoy!

How A Human Face Might Look Like In 100,000 Years (5 photo)

We’ve come along way looks-wise from our homo sapien ancestors. Between 800,000 and 200,000 years ago, for instance, rapid changes in Earth climate coincided with a tripling in the size of the human brain and skull, leading to a flattening of the face. But how might the physiological features of human beings change in the future, especially as new, wearable technology like Google Glass change the way we use our bodies and faces? Artist and researcher Nickolay Lamm has partnered with a computational geneticist to research and illustrate what we might look like 20,000 years in the future, as well as 60,000 years and 100,000 years out. His full, eye-popping illustrations are at the bottom of this post.
