Ripped, Modded Waluigi Thrashes The Competition in Smash Bros.
That’s how you introduce a character, even if it’s not official. Waluigi might only join the battle in Super Smash Bros. Wii U as an assist trophy, but to ease the pain, modder Apoc Hedgie made his own version of Luigi’s skinny rival. He’s called Walurambo, and he’s the perfect combination of Rambo and Waluigi…

Half-Life 2 Gets Bloody When Roleplayed
One of the ways you can wait for a new Half-Life game is to join a roleplaying server, set in Half-Life 2‘s City 17, and play as a citizen. Made with the Source Filmmaker, Mendelevius’ over-the-top example shows that on these servers, surviving can be even harder than, for example, in DayZ HL2RP In A…

If Sony had a Playstation All-Stars racer, similar to Sonic & Sega All-Star Racing and Mario Kart, it’d probably look like this. The creators, Max and Leonardo, pretty much included everyone, as you can see in the full pic below. This would be Wacky Races level of chaotic racing. Dayshot is an image-based feature that…

Ricky Gervais Would Be The Most Annoying Supervillain
Comedian Ricky Gervais knows exactly what role would fit him perfectly: the role of a supervillain, whose only superpower is being obnoxiously annoying, and whose only weakness is tickling. A villain like that would bring to heel almost everyone (except Deadpool). As you can see in the video above, Conan O’Brien, too, is shocked and…

Pro Wrestling Is So Much Better With Sonic and Gabe Newell
We’ve already seen great characters created using WWE 2k14‘s deep character creation toolkit, but why stick to superheroes when the possibilities are endless? So Jerma on YouTube went completely crazy and created an entire tournament with characters that are just out of this world. Sonic above is just the tip of the iceberg. Here’s Glue…

Here’s the Crusader’s “Steed charge” skill, from Diablo III: Reaper of Souls. That’s gotta be one of the most badass-looking skills so far in the game, next to Whirlwind and the Wizards’ Disintegrate. Makes me wanna roll a Crusader first when the expansion is out and level that up before my existing characters. Dayshot is…

Even Superheroes Get Old
Not every superhero has the powers of Dr. Manhattan or Deadpool, so they get old and worn out eventually. A charming series by DeviantART artist Lelpel plays with the idea, imagining what they would look like 30 or 40 years from now. Here’s some highlights, and the artist has a lot more in his gallery.…

Poor Team Fortress 2 sniper. He just wanted to have breakfast. I’m pretty sure we can all relate to Callegos Yavolitak‘s outstanding Team Fortress 2 machinima, where the most important meal of the day is also the hardest to carry out. And the Oregon Trail-style ending fits really well. SFM Breakfast Break [Callegos Yavolitak, YouTube]…

Interviewing Chun-Li is Awkward
Criticising Chun-Li’s outfit is probably not the way one should start an interview with her. But here’s Pete Holmes, making every possible mistake in the next installment of his Street Fighter series. He’s lucky he got away with it without getting Lightning kicked in the face. And that his subject wasn’t Cammy. Street Fighter Red…

Inspired by various stop-motion movies, Gabriel Salas used the exact same 3D tools and a hand-made diorama to create this really special Legend of Zelda fan-art. I’d love to see something like this coming to life as an animated-short. The Legend of Zelda fan art by Gabriel Salas [CGhub, via The Omega Nerd] Dayshot is…

True Detective Goes Really Well With… Looney Tunes
Who would have thought that pulling key dialogue from the first season of HBO’s True Detective (which ended last night) and matching it up with Looney Tunes, the results would be pretty neat. Here’s the full clip (no spoilers), from last night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live. Sex and violence with Porky Pig: Kimmel Kartoon – True…

Awesome Dad Animates His Son Into Dragon Ball For His Birthday

Twin Peaks Action Figures Have The Best Accessories Possible
I’d probably have panicked if back in the 80s G.I. Joes had watering cans and coffee jars as accessories instead of plasma rifles. But there are no such things in Twin Peaks, and it just makes artist Max Dalton‘s Twin Peaks action figure collection perfect. He recreated most of the characters for a David Lynch-inspired…

One of the best things to do in South Park: The Stick of Truth is to wander around and check every corner for funny references. I bet Stan’s father already called the number on that Minecraft ad. He had some issues finding out how to tame a Minecraft horse in one of the episodes… Dayshot…
