Stiq Figures, May 6 – 12: Sega Saturn edition

May 20, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Welcome to Stiq Figures, where the sales data is after the break and the posts don’t matter.

This week on Stiq Figures, we’re looking back at the surprise launch of the Sega Saturn at E3 1995. Namely, we’re watching this strange promotional video for the system, which features clips of launch games along with creepy people that live in your nightmares.

Stiq Figures, April 29 – May 5: Arcade cabinet edition

May 13, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Welcome to Stiq Figures, where the sales data is after the break and the posts don’t matter. Every week, we take a look at, uh, something – meanwhile, the previous week’s Japanese hardware sales figures are posted after the jump, and a discussion of said figures takes place in our comments. It may not be conventional, but it’s a time-honored Joystiq tradition.
Stiq Figures, April 29 May 5 Arcade cabinet edition

Reddit user mystery_smelly_feet recently posted a gallery of photos showing off the construction process for a custom arcade cabinet. The cabinet sports a classic Nintendo theme, complete with iconic grey, red and black controls that are vaguely similar to the NES game pad we all know and love. We’re looking at it this week on Stiq Figures out of pure awe and jealousy. Make one for us, Mystery Smelly Feet!

Stiq Figures: April 22 – 28: Live-action Minecraft edition

It may not be conventional, but it’s a time-honored Joystiq tradition.

We’d like to thank Joystiq reader Colin for pointing us to this week’s Stiq Figures topic: a live-action Minecraft-based video. Live-action gaming-inspired videos are nothing new, and not always that noteworthy. What draws us to YouTube channel CCMegaproductions‘ video this week is how it ends: much more graphic and intense than it began.

Stiq Figures, April 15 21 Animated backgrounds edition

Reddit user RudeBootie recently offered up a collection of fighting game backgrounds as animated GIFs in an Imgur album, 125 of them to be exact, each just begging to be picked as your new desktop wallpaper.

Once each game’s HUD and characters are stripped away, the locales of these fighting games appears much more serene and less chaotic. Perhaps that’s an artistic statement on the merits of choosing peace over war. Or maybe we’ve been looking at these pictures for far too long.

Twelve Different Injustice: Gods Among Us Action Figures Are On The Way

April 25, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Aquaman and 11 other heroes and villains featured in NetherRealm Studios' fantastic fighter, Injustice: Gods Among Us, are joining DC Direct's 3.75-inch scale action figure line this summer.

You won't be able to purchase these figures individually. DC is only offering them in two-packs, all sporting a $ 29.95 price tag. The two-packs are Superman vs. Nightwing, Aquaman vs. Black Adam, Cyborg vs. Harley Quinn, Flash vs. Raven, Deathstroke vs. Green Arrow, and Wonder Woman vs. Solomon Grundy.

The first wave (Deathstroke vs. Green Arrow, and Wonder Woman vs. Solomon Grundy) ship on May 31. The other figures hit later in the summer. Oddly, Batman is not featured in this line. Is DC saving a heavy hitter for a second series?

Shenmue Figurine Coming Soon From First 4 Figures

April 24, 2013 by Leave a Comment

First 4 Figures is teasing a new figure from a franchise that hasn't seen much action in a few years.

The last time we heard from Shenmue here in North America was in 2002 when the game released on Xbox. However, that hasn't stopped the game from fostering a devoted fanbase. You can check out the teaser for the figure below, which doesn't have a release date or price yet.

You can also check out a recent episode of Replay where we played the original game on Dreamcast.

Stiq Figures, April 8 14 Pokestache edition

Here at Stiq Figures, we haven’t shied away from looking at anything and everything related to Pokemon, from Poke-pants to glitches, even to deeper topics such as cloning. So if you thought we’d avoid ooh-ing and ahh-ing at adorable pictures of Pokemon with mustaches this week, then you thought wrong.

These artistic interpretations of “Gentlemon” with facial hair come from Australian digital illustrator Nicholas Poulos, as seen on his Behance portfolio. The gallery for the mustache’d minions includes eight in total, which by our count simply isn’t enough.

Stiq Figures, April 1 7 Tax Evaders edition

This week on Stiq Figures, we’re creeping far too close to our deadline in filing taxes. We figure the best way to spend this time without pushing papers is by playing Tax Evaders, a browser-based game in which players control an angry mob of citizens that shoot large fists at corporations that allegedly don’t pay their share of taxes to the US government. The game is largely political in origin, as the Tax Evaders site lists a number of sources and allies that support the politi-game’s statement.
