Luceros y Penumbras, created by Los Angeles artist and printmaker Daniel González and paper engineering by Matthew Reinhart, is officially recognized by Guinness World Records as the largest pop-up book ever created. It's only two pages, but you'll need a group of people to move a page at LA's Central Library. It's there until November. So, you have plenty of time to see it in person.

Looks like iam8bit has teamed up with SEGA for this one, so it's gonna be good.

In fact, it takes place in LA the first night of the art show!
It's headed our way and you can grab tickets now. Not entirely sure how
it's the U.S. Premiere concert taking place after 4 others will have
taken place in the U.S., but there calling it that, maybe because
someone screwed up the merch? Traditionally, a premiere is where a
series like a play, movie or concert starts its run.
Here's a new tactical counter-timeline role-playing game, say that five times fast, co-developed by Arc System Works and Unite Plus. It looks intense to say the least.

The Get Played Podcast, a favorite of ours, visited the brand new Square Enix Cafe in Little Tokyo. To put it mildly, they were not impressed. Let's say airport food was said. And, when I poked into see it, can't say the ambience was really there either. Still, the place was booked for a week during AX, which makes sense. Here's hoping they can change it up and put some more effort into it. As of writing this, the place has 2 stars on Yelp.
If you want a Japanese cafe experience I recommend, Pasta e Pasta by Allegro, very close by instead. It's not game themed, but carries a 4 & 1/2 star rating on Yelp, as of writing this. It's a LA offshoot of Tokyo-based Trattoria Pizzeria Allegro, which is an Italian and Japanese fusion chain.
You can listen to the Get Played episode on the cafe below. Discussion on the cafe starts at the 1:41:48 mark.
It's kind of a let down. Was hoping more from this place.
