This real-life Mario Kart Live do-it-yourself fix is absolutely genius

Cable runner Mario Kart Liveis a fun little game, but as I noted in my review, depending on what you make of it, it could be so much more. ThisMario Kart Livefixfrom Twitter user Kenny Englandis proof of that. It’s a story in four photos! England needed to run cable below their floorboards, and decided that Mario was the best man for the job. They tied cable to the kart, which can be controlled remotely via the Switch like a drone, and drove it underneath the floor to the other side....

Well, of course Persona 5 is getting an anime adaptation

We did see it coming In a turn of events that surprised nobody familiar withPersona, Atlus has announced an anime adaptation based onPersona 5set for next year. As with previous adaptations ofPersona 4andPersona 4 Golden, A-1 Pictures will be handling the job. The studio was also responsible for the in-game animated cutscenes, as well as for thePersona 5: The Day Breakersone-shot aired last year. Persona 5should make for a better TV series thanPersona 4, if mainly by virtue of its more propulsive central plotline, but if we’re being honest,Persona 5‘s anime bits actually looked rather generic compared with the aesthetic of the game itself....

Sci-fi is such a broad genre that it can seem quite challenging to get into, especially if you’re a young adult and find the concept of starting theDuneseriesunderstandably daunting. But there are loads of great sci-fi books for young adults out there.

Blizzard has detailed theGuardian Cub companionforWorld of Warcraft, and if there were ever a time to pay attention to virtual MMO critters, now would be it.
