Brock Is A Major Creep In This Pokemon Anime
If you’ve watched Pokemon: Origins, the TV special that recently aired in Japan earlier this month, you may have noticed two things. One: Origins is a thing that should have lasted more than four episodes. And two: why in the world is Brock, the original rock-type gym leader, so creepy? The first time we see…

Creepy App Turns Your Friends Into Bloody Corpses
It’s hard to come up with a good Halloween costume…but if you happen to have an iPhone, you have a couple of new options open up to you thanks to Mark Rober.

Time for a re-do: check out Planetary Annihilation’s ChronoCam, a feature that lets you jump to any point in time, play in slow/fast motion, delete timelines and play in reverse. You might remember this game as the ‘world-spanning RTS’ we were impressed with a while back. More details on how the ChronoCam works here.

You Won’t Believe How Much Someone Paid For One Digital Gun
Never underestimate how much someone is willing to spend on a digital item they can use in a game. First, we had the people who paid way too much for weed emoticons and digital stickers. This time, we’ve got someone that paid nearly $200 for a digital gun (pictured above) from Counter Strike: Global Offensive.…

Photoshops Ruin Ellen Page’s Video Game In The Best Ways
A game made by David Cage is not like most games. First of all, they might star folks like Ellen Page. And second of all, they usually require you to do some surprising stuff—some of which hit the right notes, and some of which really miss the mark. Because of that, it’s kind of easy…

Stephen Colbert’s ‘Government Shutdown Game’ Is Appropriately Unfair
Usually, comparisons to games are kind of flippant—which is probably why both Republicans and Democrats alike say the government shutdown is not a game. But if it was? According to Stephen Colbert, it would be called Not A Game: The Government Shutdown Home Game. The rules would be… interesting. As you might’ve guessed, boy howdy,…

CultureKate Upton and Snoop Dogg Made an Amazing Hot Pockets Ad
Take Biz Markie’s “Just a Friend.” Change the song so that it’s about Hot Pockets, and then get Snoop Dogg and Kate Upton to perform it. Add lots of pot and Minecraft references, and throw in some other cameos in there for good measure. What do you get? Why, you get this nonsensical yet glorious…

No, It’s Not Official Pokemon X & Y Art. But It Could Be.
Mark Avila may not be able to play Pokemon X & Y until later this week, but that hasn’t stopped him from drawing a bunch of kickass art of the new Pokemon in the meantime. It’s so excellent, you could almost mistake it for the official art. Like the recently-revealed Mega Charizard X, pictured above.…

Five Next-Gen Multiplayer Games You Should Keep An Eye On
While we’re still a month away from shifting into new consoles, already we can tell a few key things about what next gen will be all about. There will, for example, be lots of pretty weather effects. We will probably shoot lots of people in the face. Oh, and we’ll probably play a ton games…

Batman Should Never Try To Get A Driver’s License, Clearly
If Batman ever tried getting a driver’s license…well, according to this video by Animation Domination High-Def, he probably shouldn’t, cause he’d be crap at taking the test. But it’s okay. His failed attempts would make for hilarious stories. And like he says, Batman can always fly! So screw having a license, really. BATMAN: DRIVER’S TEST…

Pokémon X And Y Is Everything You Wanted Pokémon To Be As A Kid
Here’s what I like to imagine. Game Freak shipped Black and White 2, and production then started for a new Pokemon game. They didn’t have any specifics yet, but they knew they want to breathe some life into the franchise—make it feel fresh, sure, but still keep the core of what makes Pokemon games so…

Actually, Breaking Bad’s Jesse Didn’t Say “B**ch” THAT Many Times
Based on popular Breaking Bad memes, you’d think that the entirety of Aaron Paul’s performance as Jesse Pinkman revolved around a script with a single word in it: “bitch.” I mean. You probably even read the word in Pinkman’s voice, didn’t you? The way he says it is practically iconic! Still, it turns out that…

Slo-Mo Skateboarding + Chalk = Shredding In Style
It might be messy to pull, but if you add a whole lot of chalk dust to your skateboard before doing a trick, the resulting cloud of colors can be amazing. So while you may have seen slo-mo skateboarding videos before, thanks to the chalk effects here, I doubt they were as visually arresting or…
