Surviving A Doom 2 Map With 100,000 Revenants
Completing this map could be a bit tricky, if not impossible. Modder Marphitimus was disappointed by the lack of Revenants in the upcoming DOOM, so he made a map that probably satisfies the demand. That’s 100,000 of them right below the starting point. Revenants and a bunch of other classic enemies. It’s Doom 2, so…

Guy Builds Tiny Jurassic Park For His Tortoise
The trademark main entrance, the visitor center and a damaged fence from Jurassic Park, all built around a lucky Leopard tortoise called Louie by Oliver Turpin Pretty cool! He clearly spared no expense. The tortoise isn’t really touched by this though. He only cares about the grass around him. To contact the author of this…

Animators Team Up To Redo Smash Bros. Melee‘s Intro
More than 30 animators brought in their unique styles for the Reanimation Project’s attempt to remake the beloved intro of Super Smash Bros. Melee This means it’s dozens of small clips, segments of the original intro, (gotta love the Monty Python one around 1:18), tied together as one long fan remake. Here’s the original one…

Fallout 4‘s World Map As A Globe
Suddenly, Fallout 4‘s Commonwealth, which feels pretty big in first-person view, shrinks when we can see most of it from above. An awesome idea from kidaXV, who used a panorama photo stitcher on 45 carefully selected screenshots to make this unique projection. Slightly bigger pic above, and there’s an even larger one (it’s 50 MB…

120-Sided Dice, For Your Most Hardcore RPG Sessions
There’s now a d120 out there, made by the folks over at The Dice Lab, and while it’d be interesting to see what it could be used for during an RPG session, it certainly looks like a fun gimmick. The d120 is based on a polyhedron known as the disdyakis triacontahedron. Each face is an…

World of Warcraft‘s Duskwood is Chilling in Unreal Engine 4
Duskwood, a World of Warcraft zone almost all Alliance players visit while leveling, got the Unreal Engine treatment by Daniel L, who’s slowly recreating all the classic Eastern Kingdoms zones. It’s a cursed, foggy realm of horror, inhabited by ghouls, ghosts and skeletal warriors. Even with 2006 graphics, it’s a chilling zone, and it just…

EsportsGuy Performs Free Jazz To Competitive Smash Bros.
Here’s Caleb, doing a stunning drum performance. And it’s not just random drumming. All the different hits are in sync with all the Smash Bros. moves. You can hear light cymbal hits for Fox’s short hop lasers, for example. He basically replaced all the game’s sounds with drum hits, and it works perfectly, giving the…

GTA V Player Pulls Off Absurd Stunts With A Vespa Bike
The Enduro bike isn’t the only suitable vehicle in GTA V for wild custom stunt maps. The Vespa bike might be sluggish, but when handled correctly it’s a good choice for parkour maps as well. This is Dark Stunter, showing his skills and sliding through a pretty technical scooter trial, in record time. To contact…

Custom LEGO Star Destroyer Is So Huge It Has A Three-Level Interior
The comparison with the official 2014 Star Destroyer in the foreground shows how awesome and big this custom ship really is. Doomhandle’s ISD Tyrant is so massive, he was able to fit a hangar bay, multiple ships, and three levels of various rooms inside. The Tyrant is over 56 inches (1.4m) long and weighs approximately…

Halo 5 Grifball Is Better When It’s Played In A Quidditch Pitch
Halo 5 and Harry Potter sounds like a weird combination, but Hugabear’s custom mini-game, which adds Quidditch to Halo 5‘s Grifball, looks pretty fun. Grifball is a game mode in Halo 5 where players with Gravity Hammers and Energy Swords have to grab the ball and get it through one of the hoops. In this…

Star Fox Fan Animation Is A Love Letter To Classic Cartoons
The official Star Fox anime isn’t the only animated short that came out recently. Animator and voice actor Matthew Gafford and his team of enthusiasts spent more than six years establishing their fan project, set in the Star Fox universe, called A Fox in Space. The first, 13-minute long episode is now completed, and it’s…

Dark Souls As A 1996 PlayStation Game
The graphics would be simpler, but the aesthetics, boss tactics and the overall experience would be similarly painful. Or at least that’s what Veselekov and his friends imagined, if Dark Souls III was released back in 1996, after the first PlayStation’s launch.

The biggest change in World of Warcraft: Legion? No, it’s not the redesigned PvP system. There’ll be a new gold cap, increased from 999,999 gold to 9,999,999. That applies to guild banks and AH transactions as well. Good news for everyone sitting on 11 characters already and not-so-good news for people trying to bid on…

Things To Do In World of Warcraft Before Legion Comes Out

It’s the perfect time to prepare for all the gameplay changes. We collected the achievements and content that will be removed from the game…

The Stylish Way To Win A Hearthstone Match In One Turn
Here’s Crypt with a quite classy Hearthstone one turn kill. He manages to defeat his opponent with pirates, an almost too perfect symmetry on board, parrots, a funny friend request at the end, pirates and more pirates. And even though it’s not a ranked game, pulling a combo like this looks pretty effective and fun.…

Half-Life‘s Black Mesa Test Chamber, In LEGO Form
One of the most memorable scenes of Half-Life was right at the beginning, when Gordon Freeman woke up in a severely damaged test chamber, realizing that getting out of the facility will be a bit problematic. LEGO builder Dorian Glacet created a superb diorama, called Resonance Cascade, showing the events that led to this very…

When One Teammate Takes The Division Too Seriously
Role-playing as a tough military officer in The Division, while the other players have no idea what’s going on? That could end up really badly, or it could be a fun run. It’s the latter in StoneMountain64‘s video. He’s really good at using military slang and his tone fits the scenario well, so no one…

Nintendo Characters As Football Players
A pretty great concept. SyBro imagined an American football game with Super Mario characters and made some 3D renders for it. Too bad it’s just fan-art. The Mushroom Kingdom and arcade-y gameplay (NFL Blitz style!) could indeed spice up a football game, and both the sideline and the character selection screen look awesome. To contact…
