Here's "Generic Geoff," taking us through a free-for-all victory (on combat training) in just under three minutes. If it sounds like you've heard all of this shit before, that's the point. It's a sendup of just about every YouTube walkthrough video ever made, especially for the shooters. More »

Cow Clicker, the send-up of social gaming absurdity, has expanded its parody of all things Facebook with an application platform that offers "seamless bovine integration." Cow Clicker Blitz is a proof-of-concept of the robust leverages it can architect. Or something. More »

This goof would seem to be played out by now, but Tobuscus is back at it again, singing it like he sees it in the Halo: Reach Trailer. Why wasn't the gun already turned forward? Now you're dead. More »

An Alabama GameStop allegedly made a cover of a crying Tim Tebow - who (in)famously wept as Alabama beat Florida for last year's SEC championship - and inserted it into the cases of NCAA Football 11 games on display. More »

Honorable people agreeing to the terms of a duel to the death. As this spoof shows, and as any one who's ever played Goldeneye knows, the negotiations take forever, and the outcome is well more ridiculous than suspenseful. More »

When Battlefield: Bad Company 2 riffed on rival Modern Warfare 2's "Mapathy" promo last week, it could be seen as a playful poke. This, however - a comprehensive parody of October's infamous "F.A.G.S." video - is a straight-up nutshot. More »

Danny Elfman can piss off. I roll with Neal Hefti's theme from the 1960 TV show, and here someone's set it to Arkham Asylum gameplay in an attempt to mimic the show's opening. More »

Watercooler Games saw this earlier in the week and gave a detailed deconstruction of how a Free the Falklands! concept would be graphically impossible on the Atari 2600. I took one look and knew it was satire because one of the writers for this site, Jason Torchinsky, is a comedian and a name I remember as the editorial cartoonist of The Daily Tar Heel back when I was at N.C. State's Technician in the early 1990s. More »

Indie developer Zombie Cow (they did the spoof deathmatch platformer Gibbage)- have released another 'tribute' game — this time a Windows Point 'n' Click adventure heavily inspired by classic Lucasarts SCUMM games like Monkey Island, Sam & Max Hit The Road and Day Of The Tentacle. More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=5036761&view=rss&microfeed=true I've always considered Mario's Italian accent to be on a par with the likes of Chico Marx; Not authentic by any means, but close enough for Americans. Brett Simmons directed this funny spoof for a fictitious Mario and Luigi Italian Lesson plan featuring his friends Tristan and Anthony. The opening credits state that this is "Tristan and Anthony's Italian Project" leading me to believe this might have been created as part of a school assignment. As live action Mario and Luigi spoofs go, this one is pretty clever, or at least that's my opinion. I'll let you judge for yourself. Flynn De Marco More »

You've seen live-action Final Fantasy spoofs before, but nothing that matches the epic scale of Mark Leung's College Saga. Clocking in at over 42 minutes long across four episodes and remaining hilarious the whole way through, this is truly the ultimate in Final Fantasy fan parody.

Ones in which you give your fellow man a Coke, thwart a purse snatcher, brighten others days, without any hope of reward? If only all aspects of our culture were built with soft edges and life were more like a musical, surely all our problems would be solved. More »
