Working Lights Make This World of Warcraft Weapon Replica Awesome
Shadowmourne is one of the few legendary items players can acquire in World of Warcraft, and a weapon like that needs its proper real-life version. Kamuicosplay’s Svetlana Quindt made one.

In ADHD’s version, instead being the fearless leader of the Foot Clan, the Turtles’ main antagonist is a sad, trike-riding bully, who had enough and realized he won’t be happy with only insane friends around.

Wario Turns Pokémon Into Evil Little Creatures
Hoenn would turn into a post-apocalyptic region in days with Wario-like Pokémon running around. And judging by their looks, these little vile creatures, drawn by Justin Hall over at Dorkly, would also act as Mario’s greedy antagonist.

Diablo III With WoW’s Camera Looks Like a Totally Different Game
Diablo III and all its predecessors have a fixed camera with an isometric view. We can zoom in, but basically that’s it.

To…

Father And Son Build Giant Transformers Out Of Used Car Parts
Yu Zhilin and his son’s work is solid proof that the Transformers movies are the most popular thing in China, and in this case, I think it’s absolutely forgivable that they used the Michael Bay versions for their statues. Scrap metal and discarded car parts have never looked so good. According to ShanghaiIst (via Sina)…

What A Lucky Diablo III Encounter Looks Like
What’s better than bumping into a rare pack of Treasure Goblins in Diablo III? Bumping into two packs, around two dozen goblins right next to each other, all carrying tons of loot and legendaries.

Massive Pirate LEGO Build Is Full Of Secrets
It wouldn’t be a proper pirate LEGO without secret passages and long-lost treasure. Kinggregus’ giant, pirate-themed build has it all, well-hidden in a massive fort.
