I don't play League of Legends and I'm not sure that I ever will, but this "A New Dawn" cinematic is pretty damn cool, regardless. You don't need to know the game or its characters to enjoy it.
Graves' eyebrow raise at around 3:19? Perfect.
What sorts of "medicine" does the Witch Doctor carry around, you think? Surely, it can't all be for healing purposes, right?

Attention League of Legends fans: Riot Games just released a fun video based on its popular online game that's full of explosions, cat ears, and mild gore. You can watch the whole thing above. And if you like what you see, you can also check out a short making of film that Riot put out today alongside the spiffy new cinematic.
Back in April, Halo composer Marty O'Donnell said he had been terminated from Bungie "without cause," and proceeded to file a lawsuit against the company on May 1. Bungie went on to deny wrongdoing later that month but has since settled with O'Donnell, reports GamesBeat.
The studio will pay its former audio director approximately $95,000. That's $38,385 in unpaid work and vacation time, another $38,385 in damages, and the rest in attorney's fees and interest.

Square Enix is running a "Legacy of Music" contest for Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call next month in which fans can submit a brief music video of themselves performing the main theme of Final Fantasy. Prizes include a round trip for two to the Distant Worlds: Final Fantasy concert, a Japanese Curtain Call 3DS XL, lots of soundtracks, and a signed copy of the game.

Oh Nintendo, you sure do love your memes. Whether it's the readiness of one's body or feeling just like a purple Pikmin, the platform holder isn't afraid to poke fun at itself on occasion.
The latest example of this playful attitude comes in the form of a Japanese television spot for Mario Kart 8 , featuring Luigi's extolled scowl. Is it too late in the day, though? It seems like this bright star might have already burnt out. Maybe we're just flogging a dead horse here.
Making video games sure looks like a fun gig from the outside, doesn't it? Pouring your talents into a creation that can get played by thousands or even millions of people worldwide is not something many people can say that they do. But bragging rights and cool points don't pay bills. Just how much did video game designers, programmers and artists earn in 2013? Let's take a look.
