In all likelihood, there will never be an actual sequel to the GameCube's awesome Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. But, in a small one-minute clip, we can see what we could get excited for. And long for. And cry for because we won't see it in reality.

 Growing up, I listened to Godspeed You! Black Emperor all the time. I always thought of them as a post-apocalyptic band -- pretty much perfectly used on the 28 Days Later... soundtrack when Jim is walking around London discovering how fucked everything has become. Great music for walking around late at night in the middle of a big city. It is a lot of dynamic variance and a lot of loose structure, oftentimes descending into beautiful, auditory chaos from a quiet few cello notes.

This video is perfect for the music. The track is called The Dead Flag Blues, and it features a great voice actor describing a ruined world over a series of Half-Life 2 visuals. This is pretty atypical of GY!BE, so listen to more if you don't dig into it right away.

Enjoy the next 5 minutes.

 

It has been a while since we've posted something like this. And while we've come across some impressive ones in the past, this one is among the best of all time. All of Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time put on the canvas of Minecraft. It is called, cleverly enough, Hyrulecraft.

You'll surely recognize Hyrule, Hylia, and other settings from probably the greatest, most iconic game ever. And the guys who did it aren't finished with their project yet -- allegedly, we will be seeing some challenges in the game itself. But for now, we get to see Hyrule in 1:1. A helluva accomplishment.

​Angry Birds inspires a lot of awesome fan art. Which is surprising, considering it is really only about launching birds at pigs. But, I think it is safe to say that it was only a matter of time until someone thought up something like this:More >>

​Fruit Ninja is one of the most insanely popular games around these days, and we all know what that means: a movie version is on the way!More >>

Every once in a great while, we decide to dig back into the archives and present one of our "greatest hits." Strangely, those greatest hits tend to appear when we're feeling particularly lazy and/or hung over. Coincidence? Probably. Whatever the reason, why not enjoy this lovely piece from JD's past?
Welcome to the first installment of what promises to be a horrifying regular feature here on Joystick Division! Inspired by our much more frequently-updated sister site Topless Robot and its emotionally scarring Fan Fiction Friday column, I bring you Weekly Fan Art! Celebrating the lamest, weirdest and most vomit-inducing video game fan art, I figured I'd start things off with the biggest game mascot of all time: Mario. There are literally thousands of Mario art pieces out there, including some which are truly very cool. These, however, are not cool at all. Hit the jump to revel in the shittiness!

Wait, there's ice cream in this game?

​After we posted the "Bricks of War" Gears parody the other day, a group of YouTubers calling themselves sent us their Gears of War parody, which they call "Mad World Uprising." It's a lovingly mocking tribute to the series, set to the tune of of the track from the original game's iconic first trailer. More >>

​Two Zelda posts in a row? We do it to piss off a certain reader who says we spend too much time writing about Nintendo. He knows who he is.More >>

​Yep, this is just about the cutest Zelda cosplay we've ever seen. Parents dress up their kid like link, we get a little gooey.More >>

​This little short film -- directed by Chris Russell -- is incredibly good. I mean, it is part of my job to stay savvy, on point, and current, so I watch dozens of these things a month. And Zombie in a Penguin Suit might just be my favorite to date. The name says it all about the plot, but the whole thing is much more profound.More >>
