Yes, all of you school goers, it’s that time of the year. Time to grab the books and head back to the daily grind for education. It’s not all bad though, as some developers are making life away from school a bit easier. Scribblenauts Remix just happens to be getting an update in celebration of the occasion, and all of you can now grab it while it’s up for download.

The “Back to School” update includes “a free playground where players will be inspired to make wildly creative school related objects such as a “squeamish, psychedelic, school bus,” a “candy-coated, rainbow, chalk board,” or maybe even an “evil, triskaidekaphobic, math teacher.” “. Sound good? Well, if those contraptions make you chuckle, you will also be happy to know that players can access World 9 at no extra cost if they have previously purchased the World Pass. So go, download, and make some chaotic school-themed devices.

New JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Anime Artwork


Fans of the Bizarre Adventure’s of the many generations of JoJos should be excited to see that preliminary artwork for the upcoming ‘definitive’ anime adaptation of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure has been released.

The artwork shows off the character designs of the two lead characters, the stoic hero Jonathan ‘JoJo’ Joestar and his evil adoptive brother the villainous Dio Brando. Both characters seem to have been given a much more modern design change in comparison to their 1980s manga counterparts and I must say I am impressed by this take on the two characters that started it all 25 years ago.

You can check out the new character designs for Jonathan Joestar and Dio Brando below. The new JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure anime series is set to launch in October. Be sure to let us know what you think in the comments section below.
