The Most Terrifying Mystery Mansions In Video Games
You gotta love horror games with mysterious, haunted mansions. They work so well.

Macklemore Makes One Of Chivalry‘s Worst Weapons F***ing Awesome
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, the first-person head-chopper combat game, is not something you should take seriously.

Video games from the 8-bit and 16-bit era mixed with real life environments look awesome, and it’s a technique that lets anyone’s creativity shine.

EsportsStarcraft II‘s Marine And Hellbat Units Clash In An Epic Rap Battle
The Hellbat would win in a one-on-one battle against a single Marine in Starcraft II, but in an epic rap battle it’s anybody’s game. Video creator Temp0 is well-known for his hip-hop songs about Starcraft. Hopefully he’ll do more rap battles in the future. Something featuring the widow mine (those can’t talk though) would make…
