Resident Evil 6 Creators Reboot Amnesia: The Dark Descent - Frictional Games Obtained by Capcom

We’ve made our voices heard regarding our disdain for Capcom’s latest entry in the once legendary survival horror franchise, and offered overwhelming praise to indie developers for carrying the torch where most mainstream publishers have dropped it. But now the unspeakable has been announced: Frictional Games, the creative studio behind Amnesia: The Dark Descent has been obtained by Capcom, the company behind Resident Evil 6. While some may say that it’s a smart move, we believe that the only real horror is what Capcom will do to the flagship title of true video game horror.

Next-Gen Game Consoles Predictions (Xbox 720, Playstation 4, Wii U, Valve’s Steambox)

Join us on our roundtable podcast where we tackle everything next-gen video gaming. From Adam Orth’s trolling comments and apparent detachment from the gaming public, to the Swiss Army Knife console that is the Sony Playstation 4, to the questionable purpose and potential lack of a consumer-base for the ridiculously expensive Valve Steam Box. And no next-gen or video game discussion can forget about Nintendo or their Wii U. Utilizing outdated technology and featuring two year old ports, can Nintendo’s faltering Wii U possibly recapture the public’s attention?

“If I knew that Pyramid Head was the manifestation of my own sexual frustration and self loathing, I would be riding him through town saying, ‘I’m so happy! I’m so Happy!
But then I’ll need to find a pay phone to call a doctor if my erection lasted for more then 4 hours.” ~ Laughing Man

Game Of Thrones mega-fan looking for someone to conquer her, Robb Stark style, atop an Iron Throne

http://www.avclub.com/articles/game-of-thrones-megafan-looking-for-someone-to-con,96296/

A kinky Game of Thrones role-play session for $30,000. A case of fanboy idiocy, you say? Perhaps. But hey, at least she wants to copulate with a real human, not a Robb Stark plushie or something like some: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfNPsIya0Ps

Brony ‘Marries’ Twilight Sparkle: When Fanboys Go Too Far

It’s been months since we expressed our indignation over the exploits of the worst of fanboy antics, but a recent news article has resurrected our ire towards — you guessed it! — the radical elements of My Little Pony’s Brony community. This time an artist of erotic My Little Pony pictures is sent a cease and desist letter by a man who claims to have married Twilight Sparkle. 

DISCLAIMER: Please do not misconstrue this video as a direct onslaught on the entire brony community. The staff of Cheshire Cat Studios is fully aware that every fanbase, group or community has its rotten apples. As such, the intent of this video is not to vilify but rather scrutinize how the actions of some of the members of the community have quickly transformed ‘bronies’ from just another fanbase into one of the most controversial groups both on the ‘Net and in real life.

I’m not sure how much this will help these guys, but I highly recommend checking them out. They’re all very very charismatic people and have a great sense of humor but they’re view counts are kind of lacking. Please check them out!

Let me assure you that your support is very much appreciated, my friend. ;)

The Tumblr community has once again proven itself to be of innumerable help in spreading the word. Thanks, guys!

WORLD’S CREEPIEST ZELDA FAN!

We at Cheshire Cat Studios have decided to pull a George Lucas and re-release some of the most memorable bits from our earlier episodes for you to enjoy. We couldn’t help but feel like our good friend (if you could call him that) the Dark Master got burried under a ton of other personal life stories in the original ‘Fanboy Idiocy’ recording, so to show our imperishable love for that lonely loathsome creep we’ve dedicated a stand alone video to B-Mask’s fateful encounter with the Dark Masterpossibly the creepiest Legend of Zelda fan in the world!

In Defense of Ghost in the Shell: Arise

The announcement of Ghost in the Shell: Arise, the upcoming newest entry into the renowned cyberpunk franchise, has divided the fanbase into two groups: those who are willing to accept this fresh installment with an open mind and those who are wary of this new incarnation of their favorite series purely on the basis that it’s a prequel. CineMax shares his thoughts on the situation as well as explains why he finds the premise of Arise so captivating.

We at CCS have several bones to pick with the entertainment industry, but only a few as prominent as our complaints of the movie industry’s current stratagem. We frequently lambast Hollywood’s complete lack of imagination, their stubbornness to take chances with new ideas, their sheer laziness by pandering to the lowest common denominator (i.e., Michael Bay, James Cameron et al), and rehashing old ideas for a quick profit.

Sequelitis and movie reboots are nothing new, but the sheer amount of them in this day and age is nothing short of obscene and insulting to the people who they’re meant to entertain. However, are they the industry’s attempt to squeeze blood from a rock, or are they simply providing a service for people who clamor for new stories with their favorite fictional characters and facelifts to their favorite franchises?

Join B-Mask, LaughingMan, and CineMax as they share their frustrations with Hollywood’s outrageous lack of imagination (or shame), challenge some of the more questionable IP’s the studios have decided to revive, and, most important of all, promulgate the real reason behind the sudden inrush of reboots. The truth is once again more hackneyed than you think.

And tune-in two weeks from now for a sequel of our own: Part 2.

DC's Annual Trouble

A few weeks ago, I wrote this article on CCS and forgot to link it here. It’s about DC Comics, and the problem I have with how they handle their annual issues.
