When the phrase “speak now or forever hold your peace” is uttered during a wedding, someone might feel bold and actually say something…but having someone challenge the groom to a duel? Hell, having characters like Batman and Iron Man suddenly pop up, intent on interrupting the wedding? Now that’s unexpected—but it’s exactly what happened at…
The fact that not everyone is happy with the way YouTube comments work now isn’t news—not everyone wants to use their real names online, and Google Plus doesn’t feel like its taken off. Still, it’s amusing to actually hear some of the ridiculous reactions to the new comment system. Granted, this video Shesellssheshells doesn’t let…
Depression Quest, the thoughtful game about mental health, is now back on Steam Greenlight—it was initially taken downdue to death and rape threats. If voted through, the developer, Zoe Quinn, hopes to put the game up for free. (Update: Full disclosure, Quinn and I are friends.)
One of the greatest mysteries of the Pokémon universe has to do with Pokeballs, the devices used to capture and store your personal pocket monsters. You can’t help but wonder: just what in the world does a Pokemon experience while inside a Pokeball? There’s gotta be stuff in there, right? The Pokemon aren’t just like,…

Where does the myth that only boys play video games come from? Polygon investigates in a fascinating report about video game history and the way games are marketed.Definitely worth a read!(Image via Polygon)
Some people use GameCubes to, y’know, play games. In fact, most of us probably do. But you can also use GameCubes to smoke/vape, if you wanted to. The picture above comes from Nebula Vaping Lounge. They’ve created a special e-Hookah called the ‘VapeCube.’ Here’s the full picture: They’re not up for sale just yet, but…
And now for something different: the Final Fantasy V battle theme, played on eight floppy drives. Via MrSolidSnake745
Aww. While you can find a variety of posts on Miiverse, finding one like this one in Super Mario 3D World—which was posted this weekend by Tiny Cartridge—makes you wish it’s just a post where it is someone pulling your leg and not actually a kid throwing out a cry for help. But if it…
I’ve played Super Mario 64 before. Maybe you have too—but you’ve probably never played it as a horrific corrupted hellscape, like it appears in this glitch run of the game by vinesauce. I like to imagine this is what Mario might’ve been like if the development team was on shrooms, though. [Vinesauce] Vinny – Mario…
Yes, most games have never been great at depicting realistic jyggle physics. It’s not the best situation, but at this point, many of us are used to that. The breast physics on Ryse, though? I don’t even know what is going on there. Spoilers for Ryse follow/in the video above. You’d think though that, given…
Typically, spending a ton of money and only ending up with a box is a scam people don’t want to buy into. Unless, apparently, you really want special Xbox One packaging. Last time we looked at Xbox One listings on eBay, we found that people were paying money for the special “Day One” achievement—they’re a…
On this day, fifteen years ago, a console was released. It was short lived. It was ahead of its time. And for many, it remains a beloved console. Feel free to celebrate and share your memories of the Dreamcast in the comments! You can also take some time to read a couple of chapters from…
New consoles new schmonzles. Not everyone is racing into the next generation of games, and that’s okay. Really, those who are willing to wait might be getting the better bargain here. For one: neither the Xbox Oneor PS4 are must-buys just yet. Waiting now might mean you get to buy either console at a cheaper…
We’ve seen what’s inside an Xbox One.What about the Kinect it comes bundled with? That part of the hardware has bits and circuits in it, too! And now, thanks to iFixitYourself, we can see what’s inside the new Kinect. They also break down some of what’s changed from the first Kinect, too—like for instance, did…
Story has never really been Pokemon’s strong suit, but even so, LORE manages to condense the 30+ hour Pokemon X & Y adventure into one minute. Better yet, they somehow manage to tell the story better than the actual games do. Neat. LORE – Pokemon X and Y Lore in a Minute! [LORE]
Remember the developers who are famed for being ripped off? Someone made a game about that: now you too can rip off Vlambeer games (like Ridiculous Fishing) and get away with it. Heh.
You might think you know everything there is to know about the PS1, but I bet there’s at least one thing in this video by Vsauce3 that you find new or surprising. And if not, there’s always the NES factoids video to check out—it’s full of equally curious factoids! The Xbox has gotta be next,…
You gotta love dramatic readings—they make even awful YouTube comments not just bearable, but downright hilarious. Yes, even when it comes to Bieber and One Direction fans. You just gotta watch this ridiculous argument that happened on YouTube, read by two full grown men from Dead Parrot. It’s something else. Off-Topic is our nightly open…
They say that everything has a price—and this axiom apparently includes Xbox One achievements, judging from recent eBay listings. Thing is, these achievements are extra special—they come bundled with the limited number of ‘Day One’ editions of the Xbox One. As the name suggests, these are consoles made to commemorate the launch of the Xbox…
