Mark Hamill Shows Us His Favorite Star Wars Fan Moments
To tell the truth, the best thing in this clip by Nerdist is not necessarily the fan moments (that Patton Oswalt scene though…), but Mark Hamill himself, who still looks super cool and totally ready to put the robe back on. He’s here to show some of his favorite Star Wars fan moments, all leading…

No Army Can Stop The Battlefield 4 Train
Trains are just unstoppable these days. Just think about Grand Theft Auto V, or in this case, Golmud Railway in Battlefield 4. You can line up anything in front of them, they won’t do anything but break the laws of physics. I love how some of the players are just parachuting onto the moving train,…

Nintendo Characters Are a Perfect Fit for Children’s Books
Concept artist Joey Spiotto has an ongoing series where he mixes video game protagonists with the Little Golden Books children’s literature series, and this time, he went for Nintendo characters.

Flappy Bird Won’t Get Any Easier In Minecraft
As if the original mobile version wasn’t frustrating enough, now there’s a remake in Minecraft by CodeCrafted. The gameplay is in 3D, so it’s a bit different, but if you set the difficulty level to the hardest, you’ll probably end up ragequitting after a couple of minutes. Head over to Planet Minecraft for more details.…

If Dark Souls Were a 16-Bit Platformer
Artist Dave Rapoza took Dark Souls and reimagined it as a 2D platformer from the 16-bit era, and man I can already see that health bar dropping like a fly. Besides Castlevania, it kind of reminds me of the boss fights of ActRaiser on the SNES. Those were the nineties equivalent to Dark Souls‘ more…

A DayZ Flow Chart That Tells The Whole Truth
You’ll die a lot in DayZ. After a (hopefully) successful respawn, you have to go through the same routine: Run for hours, survive until you find something useful, head to your favorite location for military gear, and, if you’re still alive, with guns and enough ammo in your pocket you might finally feel safe. Here’s…

Here’s 21-year-old illustrator Piper Thibodeau’s rather cartoony reimagination of the Kanto starter Pokémon. Compared to Charmander in the third picture, Squirtle and Bulbasaur both look so grumpy and bored, you might consider not using them in battle at all. Squirtle’s evolution line is in the top pic, here’s Bulbasaur and Charmander. Head over to Cryptid…

Team Fortress 2‘s Soldier Would Be A Terrible Attorney
Team Fortress characters in Ace Attorney‘s courtroom sure is one of the weirder Gmod mashups. YouTuber TFHK’s video has almost all the Team Fortress 2 classes represented and yet it still somehow makes sense, even though it’s just for laughs. Here’s the full clip. The Heavy makes a really good judge by the way. Soldier:…

Classic Cartoon Characters, As Grown-Ups
It feels a bit weird to call Hey Arnold! or Dexter’s Lab classic, but lets face it, as 90s kids slowly grow up, these shows from Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon age as well. Here’s Isaiah K. Stephens, who picked a handful of cartoons from the 90s, and remade their characters as realistic-looking adults. Some of…

Here’s a terrific Fallout 3 illustration to overwhelm you with nostalgia and impatience for a new title in the series.

A minor, but helpful glitch can boost your otherwise slow and sometimes tedious travel speed in DayZ. Try to reload your weapon while crawling and get ready to travel at the speed of light… or at least at the speed of a truck. Ready… Set… Go!!!! [Steam Community] To contact the author of this post,…
