They revived a god. Now they’ve defeated a god. It was the only way. As some of you know, ‘Twitch Plays Pokémon‘ had thousands of people banding together to control a single Pokemon trainer—first, in a modified version of Pokémon Red, and later in a modified version of Pokémon Crystal. The Crystal run took a…
Penis Mods: you’ve got to read this hilarious write-up by Cara Ellison about “schlongs of Skyrim” mod, which she coupled with the “Bathing Beefcake Luxury Suite” mod. It’s as amusing as it sounds.
Snazzy Snake: check out the awesome reversible cover on the physical copies of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. Here’s the front cover, for comparison’s sake.
Watching TV can be a great communal experience, a thing you love doing with friends and family…or it can suck, depending on the type of person you do it with. Hopefully the people you watch TV with are nothing like the folks in this comic by Dorkly, though. You can check out more great Dorkly…
And there is only one thing we say to Death: ‘Not today’. ‘Close-call’ videos—the ones where someone narrowly avoids a disaster of some kind—may induce anxiety, but that’s exactly what makes them so thrilling to watch. Uniformedia has compiled some of the best close calls in the last year, and you can watch them all…
It’s not what you’re thinking. Heck, it’s probably not what you’re expecting, either. The latest run of ‘Twitch Plays Pokemon‘—which has thousands of people banding together to beat Pokémon Crystal—has had a most amazing (and unexpected) turn. As some of you that have played Pokémon Crystal know, after you beat the main portion of the…
Metroid Dreadnought: check out this cool Metroid conversion for Doom. It aims to combine the speed and atmosphere of Super Metroid with the gunplay of Metroid Prime. It’s not done, but you can download it here.
Don’t get me wrong, Katniss is a badass in The Hunger Games. But does she do a bunch of flippy things before she lets an arrow loose? NO. Well, okay, maybe she’s more practical about killing people—that’s a good thing. Still, these archery trick shots by Stephen Izzi and friends are a joy to watch.…
Ever think to yourself, man, being mesmerized by a digital music visualizer is just too safe? Fixing that problem is easy: just add fire. Also, science. Okay, speaking seriously, this fire visualizer made by the folks at Hard Science is really cool. You can watch them make it (and then test it) in the video,…
Modders are kind of the best. Case in point: this amazing New Vegas mod which adds another joinable faction in the game. And not just any faction, mind you—it’s the Enclave The mod—called “For The Enclave”—was made by Otellino and CNC. It took three years to make, and you can tell just by looking at…
Debating between two of the available versions of Titanfall? Maybe seeing the graphical differences between the Xbox One and the PC version will help. This video by IGN gives us a glimpse what Titanfall looks like on both platforms, though for those of you interested in stills, you should go here. A small taste: Xbox…
Let’s face it: if you’re on the internet for any amount of time, you probably get plastered with all sorts of memes. It can be tiring and frustrating—and it’s not entirely because you’re overexposed to the same thing over and over again (though obviously, that doesn’t help). PBS Idea Channel takes the time to intelligently…
Imagine a world where you can play the word “selfie” or “twerk” in Scrabble. Sound absurd? Both these words are definitely a playable possibility starting later this year. The official Scrabble Dictionary is being updated, and according to Hasbro, the intention is to stay relevant to trends and pop culture events. The update will include…
While many Pixar films are beloved box office hits, they often don’t start out that way. In fact, if you ask Ed Catmull—the president of Disney and Pixar’s animation studios—he’d be the first to tell you that Pixar movies “suck”—at least early on. Eventually, of course, they turn it around and make the movies that…
In an ideal world, video games are advanced enough to give us “smart” enemies—you know, the type of foes that provide a meaningful challenge because they use actual tactics. “Dumb” AI, by contrast, is often critiqued and made fun of—most players have head-shaking stories about a game with enemies that run straight at you, or…
Disney Punks: don’t confuse the Neverlanders for a gang—they’re just a group of hardcore tattooed Disney fanatics that roam Disneyland in denim vests. Vice has the fascinating story here.
If Inception were a cheeseburger, this is monstrous creation is exactly what it would be. Epic Meal Time returns with a creation that is a tad baffling to figure out. The two giant buns on this thing are made of mini cheeseburgers, which then come together to make a “stuffed” pizza. The patty between these…
If it exists, then there is probably a Simpsons couch gag for it—and Lego is no exception. While this recreation by MonsieurCaron isn’t the full couch gag, it playfully also features a couch gag with the protagonist of The Lego movie, which is neat (and appropriate!) Awesome Simpsons LEGO Movie Couch Gag [MonsieurCaron]
A slightly uncomfortable and awkward thing—are those security cameras as heads, for christ’s sake?—but they’re real thing nonetheless. Behold, German pole dancing robots. They cost $40,000 each. Earlier versions of the robots were modified to have more color and to have bigger breasts, ultimately turning them into the robots you see above. I’m sure the…
One thing many Pokémon fans have in common is that growing up, we’d hear all sorts of stories about glitches and legendaries we could capture if we did something random and esoteric. Most kids, as we now know, were lying. Or, well: it’s more like they didn’t know how to pull the glitches off, exactly.…
