If Disney Characters Were In The Middle of a Zombie Apocalypse
They would survive and adapt easily, or at least that’s what deviantART artist Kasami-Sensei‘s artwork suggests. He put several Disney characters into the Walking Dead universe, making all the appropriate changes. It’s weird to see Anna from Frozen with an M4 carbine, but you can’t survive otherwise. Here are some highlights. My favorite is definitely…

YouTube Stars Play Blizzard’s Upcoming Heroes of the Storm
Heroes of the Storm, Blizzard’s upcoming MOBA, looks fun when big YouTubers, like TotalBiscuit, StarCraft’s Husky, Jesse Cox and a few others team up to try out the game, which is currently in alpha—a fact that explains why it looks a bit empty at the moment, compared to, say, DOTA.

If Bitcoins Were Around In The 90s
Mining and trading with digital money in the early years of the internet would have been problematic if not catastrophic, as SquirrelMoney’s video shows us, taking us back to the not-so-nostalgic dark side of the 90s web.

World of Warcraft‘s Revamped Dwarf Female: No Beards
Remember that one seasonal quest in World of Warcraft, where you have to find someone playing with a dwarven female character? It took ages. Blizzard’s new render of the character model looks really good (though it would be even better with beards). It’ll hopefully spawn more of them. Now we’ve seen the new look of…

This has to be one of the most relaxing pieces of Pokémon fan-art. Inspired by ‘Twitch plays Pokémon’, mizudokei drew the main character and his Pokémon having a rest… somewhere around Pallet Town.

They Built An Actual Gundam in Kerbal Space Program
For most of us, it’s hard to even get into orbit in the space flight sim Kerbal Space Program. Clownbaby244‘s Gundam can fly, it has retractable wings and it lands on its feet. So it’s not just a cool-looking mech, but a cool-looking mech whose creator got the physics right. NASA! Hire this guy! It’s…
