If not, my dreams will be smashed… Feel free to Talk Amongst Yourselves! Thanks to reader pan1da7 for today’s image. Take a crack at being featured…

Fund Jak and Poi, a “Rock, Paper, Scissor” CCG For The iOS
I’m a huge fan of Collectible Card Games, and when ever I see a new one come out for the iOS I get pretty excited. Jak and Poi is a really interesting CCG built around a “Rock, Paper, Scissor” mechanic. You have a deck of cards that you can play against you opponent instead of…

This Dude Banks a Knife Off a Helicopter in Modern Warfare 3, And So it Begins
People have been landing insanely improbable kills in Call of Duty for years now, but of all the videos I have seen, this one is the craziest. The knife literally banks of a helicopter, then falls onto the soldier underneath it. In conclusion, stay inside.

Fund Dragon Island RPG it Lets You Collect an Army of Monsters
The concept is simple: Collect monsters, amass army and plow your way through dungeons. It feels in the video like it’s almost a cross between Pokemon and Shining Force.

Jimmie Johnson’s Anything With An Engine isn’t Your Grandmas Kart Racing Game
Want to drive a bathtub? Maybe shoot giant golfballs from a go kart? Well you can do all these things and more! But, I’m not sure its actually worth it. Jimmie Johnson’s Anything With An Engine is just a silly kart game that borrows from everything else, without hitting the mark on any of it.…

Skyrim‘s Easiest Leveling Exploit Involves Brutalizing the First Character You Meet
The thing I always liked about the Morrowind games was trying to figure out ways to “break the game”, and while you no longer can jump over and over again to level your character, I did find a funny exploit. You can level up your character (not to mention your one-handed attack) the moment you…

The Voice Commands of Halo: Anniversary Fail at the Wrong Times
“I’m sorry Chris, I’m afraid I can’t let you do that” Until I hear those words coming out of my Xbox, (preferably right before it tries to kill me or something) I’ll be resistant to believing claims of voice functionality working with games. Halo:Anniversary tries it’s damnedest to make voice commands work. It’s not a…

PixelJunk SideScroller is the 26th-Century 1980’s Arcade Game You’ve Been Waiting For
PixelJunk SideScroller is a 1980’s style arcade game made for the 26th-century. It’s a side scrolling-shoot-em-up that exceeds in everything it attempts to pull off. Between the style, the smooth controls and the soundtrack, PixelJunk SideScroller is everything I could have asked for in a downloadable game. Hell, it’s everything I could ask for in…

Watch Me Beat Kinect Sports 2 Tennis Without Moving

Talk Amongst Yourselves
There are so many terrifying things about this TAYpic, with Halloween only a week away it all seems perfectly fitting. Between that awesome leather purple jacket and the crushed ribcage, that dude is going to show up in my nightmares. Anybody else ever get majorly creeped out by a TAYpic?

New York Comic-Con In Three Minutes
New York Comic-Con is a wrap, but only after delivering four days packed with movies, video games, comics and cosplay. Comic Con for me this year was a lot of running around.
