Famous Video Game Lines, As Voiced By Gilbert Gottfried

Those lines from Fallout that gave us goose bumps back then sure sound different with comedian Gilbert Gottfried‘s voice.

The Akira Live Action Film We Deserve

It’s Always a Mess When Supervillains Team Up

If Disney Characters Were College Students

DeviantART artist Hyung’s extensive Disney University series takes classic Disney characters and puts them in a modern-day college setting. It’s easy to imagine Pocahontas or Hercules in a scenario like this, but it gets a lot funnier when he transforms Simba, Bambi or Pinocchio.

NBA2K14 Glitches Look Even Sillier In Real Life

NBA2k14, or any sports game for that matter, can produce some pretty amazing glitches, which tends to be more funny than irritating as long as they don’t break the game. Here’s NBA enthusiast Jesser and his friends, performing a lot of these—well, those that don’t require warped body parts, on a basketball court. And even…

How The Oculus Rift Can Turn You Into A Controller

Playing with the Oculus Rift is better with friends. You can get your head chopped off, or use them as your personal “gaming chair.” The idea is simple: The player with the headset on enjoys the game, like this hang gliding simulator, while the others lift, tilt and push the player, following on-screen instructions. Looks…

Conan O’Brien Finds Other Horrible Games Buried With E.T.

We know E.T. wasn’t the only game excavators found in the Atari landfill dig last weekend. But according to Conan O’Brien, there were even more movie-based flops buried in the New Mexico desert. A Rocky III version of Pong? John Malkovich in Pac-Man? The 80s would have been much better with these. Buried “E.T.” Atari…

It’s Not Often You See A Group So Large In DayZ

Looks like it is possible for 30 people to gather without getting killed in DayZ after all. It was one of those rare occasions, organized by the DayZ Flashmob group on Steam, and they were lucky indeed that no one brought an M4 or grenades to the party. And you might wonder what they did…

Redditor LPain01 took some amazing screenshots of the World of Warcraft zones, using the Free Far Sight tool to double his in-game view distance. They really have an RTS feel, but I don’t even want to think about that. Look below for shots of Pandaria, The Barrens, Durotar, Nagrand, Grizzly Hills, Stormwind and more. Dayshot…
